Review by Jen Skewes

I have always loved Rachel Higginson’s books, but it has been a little while since I have read one. I am so happy that I got the chance to read ad review this book. Decisions We Make After Midnight is the first book in a new series. But It is actually a spin-off of the last series that I have read by Ms. Higginson.

Lola is supposed to be on her way to Florida to open up a new store for her family business. But given the new-found information on her fiancé, she decides to make a stop in North Carolina to visit her best friend. She is not ready to face her family or her ex. The hurt is still very fresh, and she needs some time. Her life has more or less been planned out for her. She has been working for the family business and this new opportunity in Florida is something she wanted. Then her relationship takes a bad turn, and she starts to question everything. Not ready to face it all she gets herself a job, ignores her family’s calls and spends time with her best friend. At some point she will have to face them all, but this is one thing she is going to do on her terms.

Will English is the broody, grumpy, good looking bar owner and Lola’s new boss. She has never been a waitress a day in her life. And while filling about a job application was completely spontaneous; she has no idea if she can even do this job. But she needs the money, because as of now she has no intention on using her family’s money. Will is not thrilled with the new girl with no experience. So much so that he has no problem letting her know. But when her shift is over and it’s just them, something happens between them. This connection, a friendship if you will. Lola sees a different side of Will; one I am sure not many see. But she is still dealing with all of her baggage that she isn’t sure they can ever be anything more than friends. Or so she thinks.

I loved this book. It is a wonderful start of a friendship that turns into so much more. It is a slow burn that keeps you on your toes, wondering when they will finally give in. Will may have been a bit stand offish but that’s what I loved about him. It added to his sex appeal. And then seeing just how much Lola affected him is what got me. I loved seeing Lola really open up and grow to be this woman who learns to stand up for herself and not give in to everyone controlling her life. She finally gets a backbone and I loved ti.

I loved that we get to see some characters from Ms. Higginson’s other series. That was a great treat. I am looking forward to more from this family of characters. There was certainly more to this story then just Lola and Will. It is about the friendships she built with the other owners at the bar and of course her best friend who is always there for her. My only issues was that I wished there was less of Lola’s inner monologue and more conversation between her and Will. But other than that, I loved it. Cannot wait for the next one in the series. ...more "
