My
Thoughts:
The Trouble With Love was a classic second chance
romance with Emma and Cassidy at odds, acting icily indifferent to each other.
However, with a bit of maneuvering from Camille (Stiletto’s editor in chief)
they’re forced to deal with each other and so some of that ice starts to melt.
Cassidy takes over Camille’s position while she goes on leave and because he
wants answers pushes Emma to write an article detailing her past loves and why
they broke up.
I forgot how well Lauren Layne writes romance! It seems lots
of romance novels now are pages and pages of sex scenes without much lead up. Layne,
however, laid a foundation with Emma and Cassidy having a history, which was slowly
revealed. There was buildup and chemistry!
I loved Emma and Cassidy’s journey back to each other. Loved that they were not
hateful or mean to each other while there was a lot of hurt feelings between
them. This romance was well-crafted, sassy, and hot! A definite recommend!

Book Description:
As Lauren Layne’s salacious Sex, Love & Stiletto series returns, a jaded columnist discovers a steamy way to get over an old flame: falling for him all over again.
As Stiletto magazine’s authority on all things breakup-and-heartache, Emma Sinclair writes from personal experience. Five years ago, Emma was Charlotte, North Carolina’s darling debutante and a blushing bride-to-be. Now she’s the ice queen of the Manhattan dating scene. Emma left her sultry Southern drawl behind, but not even her closest friends know that with it she left her heart. Now Emma’s latest article forces her to face her demons—namely, the devilishly sexy guy who ditched her at the altar.
After giving up everything for a pro-soccer career, Alex Cassidy watches his dreams crumble as a knee injury sidelines him for good. Now he’s hanging up his cleats and giving journalism a shot. It’s just a coincidence that he happens to pick a job in the same field, and the same city, as his former fiancĂ©e . . . right? But when Emma moves in next door, it’s no accident. It’s research. And Alex can’t help wondering what might have been. Unlike the innocent girl he remembers, this Emma is chic, sophisticated, and assertive—and she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. The trouble is, Alex has never wanted her more.
I've never read any of Lauren Layen's books, but this one sounds good. Especially since you ended up liking it so much. :D
ReplyDeleteI forgot how much I loved her romances! I recommend the whole series. :)
DeleteRobin liked this one, at least I'm sure she reviewed it and likes this author. It feels good to get a back title off the shelf. I have plans for that coming up. We will see how I do.

Good luck in getting to those back titles! I have a few more to check off my list. :)
DeleteThat is something I noticed between older and newer LL books - a lot more sex in the old books. I don't miss it though. This was one of my favorites from this series. Glad you finally got a chance to read it.
ReplyDeleteThere wasn't very many sex scenes in this one either, maybe one or two? Whatever it was it was just right. Tastefully spicy, I'd call it.
DeleteI read some of her books and enjoyed them. I need to read more
