Love on Lexington Avenue by Lauren LayneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This second entry to the Central Park Pact was even better than the first one and I can't wait to see what the third book is going to be like!
This book is about the widow of a philanderer, his mistress, and his girlfriend. Yep, what a sleazeball! It is also about Claire's (the wife) desire to end her vanilla lifestyle, redo her brown-stone and have a one night fling. She just wants to try to remember how to flirt and to feel desirable.
On first glance when Scott the renovation expert comes calling things don't look like they are going to work out renovation wise but soon it becomes clear that not only is her renovations moving along nicely, so is her friendship with Scott -also her wingman in flirting and one night stands! And let me tell you that does NOT work out well at all!
There are a lot of very humorous moments n this book as well as some that may make you a tad weepy. Frankly, I think the fun and humor comes out on top, so don't worry too much about this book being overly angsty.
However, things do move along and at a good pace. The author really knows how to keep things moving and to keep the reader interested and wanting to turn those pages. I learned a few things about remodeling without this turning into a how-to book. And the HEA was just perfect (as well as the remodel!)
