You’ve Got Mail meets The Hating Game! Vying for a promotion against a bitter rival as the only female data analyst for a professional baseball team, Emmy finds solace in the text-flirting relationship that started as a wrong number exchange—unaware that the man she’s texting is the one she’s fighting for the promotion.

Emmy Jameson lives by three no dating, no sharing personal news at work, and baseball above everything. As the only female data analyst for a professional baseball team, Emmy is constantly trying to prove herself.

Especially when she’s put up for a senior analyst position against her arrogant, infuriating coworker Gabe Olson. Sure, he’s gorgeous and smart and he was a baseball star in college who knows the sport inside and out, but so does Emmy. She is not going to lose to him again. There will be no distractions this summer. Not even her sister’s pending destination wedding in Mexico for which she needs to find a plus one.

But then she receives a text from an unknown number with a simple “Last night was fun.” When she strikes up a conversation with the mystery texter, they realize that he was given a fake phone number after a bad date that just so happened to be Emmy’s. Despite her rules, Emmy can’t deny the instant connection she feels and soon finds herself falling for the stranger on the other side of the screen…and inviting him to her sister’s wedding.

Emmy’s world turns upside down when her mystery man turns out to be none other than Gabe Olson. They are left having to travel to the wedding together while trying to sort out which version of their relationship is their in-person rivalry or the deep connection they found in their messages.

Everything in Emmy Jameson's life revolves around her career, she has to stay on top of things because there will always be someone waiting in the wings to take her place. Being in the field she is in she deals with a lot of flack, mainly because it's a male driven world, but she has never let it stop her from doing what she loves. Now she is up for a promotion and unfortunately she is not the only one, her annoying co-worker Gabe Olson is also in the running, and she doesn't intend to lose to him. Even if it means taking drastic measures...

Last Night Was Fun is an entertaining and funny literary romp that is destined to have you smiling throughout! These two are unknowingly brought together by a mistaken text and it winds up being the best thing to ever happen to them, until they learn who they have been texting. You see, these two are work enemies and are both up for the same promotion, so in any other circumstances they would never be texting one another for fun and be enjoying it. Once they find out who they've been texting it not only mortifies them, but also creates a little dilemma that they have to sort out.

I really enjoyed this one, it's pages took me on one really exciting and entertaining journey. They had me laughing throughout the whole story, it was a much needed break from my daily life. It also left quite the impression, so much so, that I'll be checking out this authors backlist. If you love romantic comedies than you have to check this one out, you will fall head over heels for these characters!! Highly recommend!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.
