One of the things I love most about Lauren Layne’s books is that many of them take place in the city! I’m not a city girl and prefer the small-town vibe much more in real life but visiting the city through books is so much fun! Just like in this one.
Rating: ★★★★
​Release Date: January 18, 2022
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Series: None. Complete standalone. 
Pages: 297 pages
Format: eBook. Source: ​Publisher.
​From the New York Times bestselling author of the Central Park Pact comes a reverse My Fair Lady for the modern era about a pampered and privileged Manhattan socialite who must teach an unpolished and denim-loving nobody from the Louisiana Bayou how to fit in with the upper crust of New York City. Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Sally Thorne.

Violet Townsend has always been a people pleaser. Raised in the privileged world of Upper East Side Manhattan, she always says the right things, wears the right clothes, and never rocks the boat. Violet would do anything for the people closest to her, especially her beloved grandmother. So when she asks Violet to teach the newly-discovered grandson of her friend how to fit in with New York City’s elite, Violet immediately agrees. Her goal? To get Cain Stone ready to take his place as heir to his family company…but to say he’s not exactly an eager student is an understatement.
​Born and raised in rural Louisiana and now making his own way in New Orleans, Cain Stone is only playing along for the paycheck at the end. He has no use for the grandmother he didn’t know existed and no patience for the uppity Violet’s attempts to turn him into a suit-wearing, museum-attending gentleman.

But somewhere amidst antagonistic dinner parties and tortured tux fittings, Cain and Violet come to a begrudging understanding—and the uptight Violet realizes she’s not the only one doing the teaching. As she and Cain begin to find mutual respect for one another (and maybe even something more), Violet learns that blindly following society’s rules doesn’t lead to happiness…and that sometimes the best things in life come from the most unexpected places.

𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗦𝗡𝗔𝗣𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗧: One of the things I love most about Lauren Layne’s books is that many of them take place in the city! I’m not a city girl and prefer the small-town vibe much more in real life but visiting the city through books is so much fun! Just like in this one.

Lauren Layne has written some of my favorite books so when I saw that this one was being published, I jumped at the chance to read an early copy. While I was a little surprised to see that the characters in this book were a bit snobbier and mean than the characters in her previous ones, I couldn’t help but read this one from beginning to end (in one sitting!). There’s just something so addicting about “watching” a socialite try and get an out of towner to fit into her world.

If you’re looking for opposites attract/city romance novel, then look no further because Lauren’s latest release has all that. There are some funny moments, and times when you’ll probably roll your eyes at the characters but all in all it’s a good book!
