The blurb:
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 fiancée . . . 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.
My Opinion:
Book four in the Stiletto series finally means learning more about Emma Sinclair’s and Alex Cassidy’s past. From the previous books in this series, we find out that they have been together and that they also were engaged. Of course that mead me very curious and I was really excited about this book.
Emma’s boss Camille is away for a few months and since Alex is the editor in chief of Stiletto’s brother magazine Oxford, he takes over. On top of that Emma’s apartment is flooded and she can stay at Camille’s place. Well, guess who’s her neighbour. Alex wants Emma to write a story about her ex-boyfriends. She is not happy about it but does it anyway. She meets them and asks them some questions.
The tension and chemistry between Emma and Alex have always been there and it’s building up again. They spend more and more time together and even though they don’t want to admit it, they really enjoy it. We kind of find out what happened between them seven years ago, which makes things clearer. The other girls and their men play an important part in this story and I just love them as a group. Always there for each other, fun to be around and so much more.
I couldn’t put the book down and really loved the atmosphere Lauren Layne created in this story. The storyline has a fabulous flow and the writing is passionate, flirty, fresh, modern and fun!
I can’t wait to read the Oxford series, I need more!!!
