Marriage on Madison Avenue by Lauren LayneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
"From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Layne, comes the final installment of the Central Park Pact series, a heartfelt and laugh-out-loud romantic comedy that’s perfect for fans of Sally Thorne and Christina Lauren.
Can guys and girls ever be just friends? According to Audrey Tate and Clarke West, absolutely. After all, they’ve been best friends since childhood without a single romantic entanglement. Clarke is the charming playboy Audrey can always count on, and he knows that the ever-loyal Audrey will never not play along with his strategy for dodging his matchmaking mother—announcing he’s already engaged…to Audrey.But what starts out as a playful game between two best friends turns into something infinitely more complicated, as just-for-show kisses begin to stir up forbidden feelings. As the faux wedding date looms closer, Audrey and Clarke realize that they can never go back to the way things were, but deep down, do they really want to?"
REVIEW:
I'm sorry to see this trilogy go. I really loved it and the women Naomi, Claire and of course Audrey.
And if this is the first book in this trilogy that you picked up...don't worry there is enough back-story to get you up to snuff. (almost too much back-story for the person who has read the first two books-almost!) I would actually love to see a book about Elizabeth who was a secondary character in this book, I think she deserves love!
At any rate, this book is steamy but clean (no bodily fluids discussed) it taught me just exactly what an "influencer" is and also taught me to respect and understanding for non-traditional jobs. I'm a Babyboomer and I find it difficult to understand these types of careers, but this author went a long, long way to help me see. This is going to be the perfect book for women who grew up with this as the norm.
The real story is as old as man -three women loving the same man who dies and the women discover each other at his funeral. They vow to take care of each other and to keep them from falling for inappropriate men.
I loved this very fast reading book and was engaged in the story for every minute of it -the only reason I gave it less than five stars is that I really dislike too much angst and inner dialoguing and this book has too much for my personal taste.
