“Last night was fun.”

A simple text from an unknown number. A moment of digital serendipity. And just like that, Emmy Jameson finds herself at the heart of an accidental conversation that becomes anything but ordinary.

When a bar-goer sends a text to the woman he met the night before, the exchange is less than ideal. He quickly realizes he’s been handed a fake number; his misdial leads him straight to Emmy. What we, as readers, know is that Emmy and Gabe are far from strangers.

Emmy is a statistical and analytics all-star striving to stand out in the “boy’s club” of Major League Baseball. Gabe Olson is a former pitching star whose future in the majors fizzled following a car accident and career-ending injury. Work days are contentious as Emmy and Gabe compete for the same starting line-up promotion to Senior Analyst.

Outside of the office, Emmy and Gabe (or Bird Girl and Axe Murderer as they are known to one another over text) share more and more messages that grow warmer, funnier, and undeniably addictive.

Predictable? Absolutely. Did I see every twist coming? Without a doubt. Did I care? Not. One. Bit.

I was entirely captivated by this flirty, fun, and fantastic rom-com! Last Night Was Fun features exceptional scene-setting and character-building by author Holly Michelle. The slow-burn sizzled right up until the spark finally ignited. In baseball terms, this book is a grand slam.
