The Trouble with Love by Lauren Layne
3.0
Another smart, sexy, light, funny book from Lauren Layne.
Emma is the newest member of the group of 4 columnists at Stiletto magazine. She moved to NYC 7 years before following a disastrous almost-wedding. And who does she find at Oxford, the brother magazine? Her almost-groom, Alex Cassidy, of course.
This missed getting a 4th star because I was bothered by one thing. And I'll attempt to do this without spoilers. After remembering the horrible events at her rehearsal dinner 7 years ago (and the reader learning the full details for the first time), she and Alex get together about 24 hours later. Now I know it was 7 years for them, but it was just the previous chapter for us, and I wasn't ready to move on quite that quickly. (And that wasn't a spoiler - you KNEW they'd get together.... )
Cover: He seems to have lost his shirt in this one...
Narrator: Same as the 3 previous books in the series. As I mentioned earlier, her men aren't great. They all sound like their teeth are clenched.
Hogwarts Sorting Hat: This is another one where the houses are a little sketchy. But I think Alex would be a good Slytherin and Emma is a Hufflepuff. In this book. In the previous books that aren't about her, she has some Slytherin in her...
Themes: magazines, NYC, 2nd chances
