CL is hit or miss with me, mostly hits but a few misses sprinkled in there. This I’m happy to say was a hit! One of their best works in a long time! I love to see what they’ll come up with next.

Millie and Reid are besties who are ready to take it to the next level, yet are worried how it will affect their group of friends. I do love the group of professors and all the fun they have together from lunch, game night, dinners, vacations, etc. Millie and Reid are cute together and work well, it the online dating that puts them off. They can be themselves online and it slowly needs to happen.

I was provided a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest and fair review.

I’ve loved the last couple novels I’ve read by Christina Lauren (technically a pen name for two authors writing together) and I had been approved to read this title last year but ran out of time. This book had Lauren’s signature humor – I laughed out loud and was still struck by the emotions evident within the story lines and between the characters. This wasn’t my favorite of the plot lines from what I’ve read of Lauren’s books (Millie was a little dishonest for me) but I still really enjoyed it. I loved Reid’s character, and I loved how well he and Millie interacted with each other and how their relationship and chemistry were so intense. Their group of friends were so funny too and the antics they got into were immensely entertaining. I always love how much joy I get out of reading Lauren’s books – they are light and easy to read and they lighten the burden on me that at times is reality. I’d definitely recommend this book, as well as any of the other ones I’ve read by this author so far!

Usually I love Christina Lauren's books. They are full of humor and sexiness and real characters. While I liked My Favorite Half-Night Stand, it's my least favorite of their standalone novels. I really liked Millie and Reid and the rest of the guys but found the jealousy Millie exhibited a little annoying. I also am not big on false identities and deception in a relationship's beginning (really at any point) so I think the book fell flat for me. Still a good read, just not at the usual level of enjoyment I find from this duo.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy.

Loved! Even when it was breaking my heart (why, Millie, why???) it was so, so good! The dynamic between all the friends in the group was fantastic; this book is helping to cement Christina Lauren as one of my go-to authors.

Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A

I love Christina Lauren! This one did not disappoint! It made me giggle out loud several times. Very fast paced and kept you wanting more. I could not put it down. Different from most romance books, but definitely a good different.

I love this author duo, but I was disappointed in this one. It was 2 dimensional, didn’t keep my attention, and fell flat. Bummer.

I really enjoyed this book because it was pretty light hearted as these best friends strive for something more. Millie is best friends with a bunch of guys, but there is one guy in there that means so much more. When they decide to go on a dating app and Millie accidentally gets Reid as a match with her fake persona, all hell breaks lose. This was a fun story watching these two navigate a relationship and fall for each other. My heart broke for both of them as things took a turn for the worse, but it had a great happy ending. I would love to see who the rest of these guys end up with! Good story.

Another great hit from this duo! They never disappoint. Funny, amazing character arcs, great storyline. Can't wait for more from these authors.

My Favorite Half-Night Stand by Christina Lauren is a friends to lovers romance that isn't like anything else I've ever read. Online dating. Friendship. Emotionally Unavailable characters. All of this should make for the perfect scenario but I wasn't able to become emotionally invested in this story even though I really wanted it.

Always love a Christina Lauren book. Loved how fast paced and fluffy this was. Loved the story and how catchy it was as well.

I thought the premise was unique and the writing solid. I saw the ending coming a mile away though.The plot was weak. The story dragged on

This was sweet and very readable, but didn't bring anything new to the table. I enjoyed reading it; however, it didn't stand out to me.

This was a pretty cute rom-com although I received a copy of this from net galley, and I attempted to begin reading it with the traveling sisters group, I got behind due to some obligations. I later picked it back up as an audiobook, which I purchased at a very low price via iBooks, when there was a special one day I stumbled on; and I started listening to it and really thought it was fun! The narrators are good and funny and I like their voices for the characters. Milly and Reid are colleagues. Millie works with some other male colleagues and they all have an event to go to and think it would be fun to get matched up on a dating site to have a date for the event.

I don’t really want to share more than that with you right now because it would take away from all the laughter and the antics and shenanigans that go on here. I do recommend the audiobook as well as the kindle edition. The banter and playfulness, group texts... all kept me grinning and wanting to know what happened next.

Many thanks to the publisher, Simon and Schuster via NetGalley fora Digital copy to read for review. This should be a very popular book among those that like romantic comedy! Highly recommended!

Another excellent title from Christina Lauren. The ability of this writing team to depict the ups and downs of modern love while making you laugh out loud is unmatched.

After reading this book, all I can say is that I'm glad to have missed out on the wonders and horrors of internet dating! While the overall concept isn't new (friends-to-more), the way the story is set up and delivered made this fun to read.

Christina Lauren is back with another book, and I thought it was phenomenal. Millie is adorable and I am seriously a sucker for the age old "friends to lover" trope. The texting-style writing was effective, and The dynamic between Millie and Reid was something I really enjoyed reading about. The commentary on catfishing was hilarious very plausible in the modern age, even if not every (or any) catfish turns out to be your gorgeous best friend. Overall, a fun read and I LOVED the professional sides of all of the characters, creating some very interesting dialogue.

This book was cute but very predictable. I liked the text message technique. Everything was just a little too perfect. The handsome guy who's family owns a winery and has tenure just happens to be single and doesn't know he's in love with the woman who's one of the guys and needs fixing? What a coincidence.

Christina Lauren releases another romance story. And you are going to love it. Its two friends getting together but there is going to be some complications in the way especially one of them lying about who they are.

Millie and Reid are perfect for each other but they are so scary to admit their feelings. Millie has always been one of the guys but lately, it has been getting to her. She wants to be notice especially to Reid. But that is going to be challenging since she prefer not to expose her feelings. She always been the type to keep all feelings in a box no matter. However, things will change when life becomes unexpected in her life. Her life is going to messy especially when she lies to Reid. She pretends to be someone else on an app to work up the courage. But it will backfire since something unexpected happens. Reid is kind and smart man. But he is definitely clueless when it comes to Millie. He is out of his depth. But he is going to figure it when she starts dropping off clues.

My Favorite Half Night Stand will bring two friends together if they finally admit their feelings to each other. Four stars.

My Favorite Half-Night Stand is a fun take on the pitfalls of internet dating. Millie has a group of four guy friends she hangs out with on a regular basis, with one of them, Reid, being her best friend. they all work for a university in various capacities and when they find out a big gala is coming up, they all agree to create profiles on a dating app to find a date for it. Millie creates great true-to-life profiles for the guys, but her own falls short. So she creates a second profile, which matches to Reid, who is unaware. This was a fast paced read and highly enjoyed seeing how complicated everything became between Millie and Reid. Christina Lauren is quickly becoming one of my go-to reads when I want a fast-paced, fun romantic comedy read.
