The reason being is the last book I read from Lauren's was not actually my cup of tea so I was very hesitant to dive into this one. And to have this beauty in my hands was just so a blessing yet a risk I was willing to take.

Let me start off by saying that I have not read a Lauren Layne novel in such a long time. Now they find themselves engaged in a battle-of-wills that will either consume or destroy them…įilled with charm and heart and plenty of sex and snark, this entertaining series will hook you from the very first page.Ī sweet romance filled with that angst between two characters in which both have a common past that must be dealt with or their future is at stakes of being together. Oliver used to torment Naomi when they were children, and as a ridiculously attractive adult, he’s tormenting her in entirely different ways. The worst offender is her new neighbor, Oliver Cunningham-the grown son of the very family Naomi’s mother used to work for. Now, as the strongminded, sassy CEO of one of the biggest jewelry empires in the country, Naomi finally has exactly what she wants-but it’s going to take more than just the right address to make Manhattan’s upper class stop treating her like an outsider.

From the author of the New York Times bestselling Stiletto and Oxford series, the first in a sizzling new series following the unlikely friendship of three Upper East Side women as they struggle to achieve their dreams and find true love and happiness in the city that never sleeps.įor as long as she can remember, Bronx-born Naomi Powell has had one goal: to prove her worth among the Upper East Side elite-the same people for which her mom worked as a housekeeper.
