MARRIAGE ON MADISON AVENUE BY LAUREN LAYNE

Marriage on Madison Avenue is the final book in the Central Park Pact series. I recommend reading the books in order BUT you don't have to. They are interconnected though.

​From 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?

Fake Relationship Romance | Marriage of Convenience | Friends to Lovers

It looks like Marriage of Convenience romances are going to be a "thing" in 2020 as I have already read 3 or 4 books within the trope! I'm not mad about it either. I'm really enjoying the ones I have read already! If that trope is your cup of tea you won't want to miss Marriage on Madison Avenue by Lauren Layne! This is an interconnected standalone in the series. Each book CAN technically stand alone, but I personally recommend reading them in order because the drive behind these books is connected to each of the characters. Plus, possible spoilers from previous novels may take away from your enjoyment of this one (the spoilers are only WHO they end up but now HOW they get there).

That being said, this is a wonderfully sweet series and I’m bummed that this is the final book. I’ve come to really love all three of these women and seeing them basically rise above has been a powerful experience. This particular book is Audrey’s (if you’ve read the other two or even the first book, you’ll know who she is) and I loved the friends to lovers, marriage of convenience trope between her and Clark. While the ending felt a bit too rushed for me (especially when it comes to the “situation”) the overall story is pleasant. I recommend it to readers of both romances and chick lit. This one felt more like a romance than the other two FYI.

★★★★
