Love the One You're with by Lauren Layne

Love the One You're with (Sex, Love & Stiletto, #2)

by Lauren Layne

Lauren Layne’s Sex, Love & Stiletto series simmers to a boil as two high-powered magazine writers find love amid a war of words.

As a leading columnist for Stiletto, Grace Brighton has built a career warning women about rotten, cheating liars. She just never suspected her fiancé would be one of them. After Grace takes a heart-mending hiatus, her first assignment is to go on a couple of dates with a counterpart from the men’s magazine Oxford and report her impressions. Grace 1.0 may have been instantly smitten with the gorgeous correspondent, but Grace 2.0 has sworn off relationships for six months, and she’s not falling for his outstanding bod and trophy-winning kisses . . . or is she?

Jake Malone wants to get back to the fly-by-night, who-knows-what’s-next guy he used to be, and he knows exactly how to do it. Oxford is adding a travel section, and Jake—with no wife and no kids and a willingness to live anywhere, eat anything, do everything—is perfect for the job . . . except that his playboy reputation makes his new editor nervous. To get the gig, he must agree to a fluffy joint article with Stiletto. But after just one date with snooty, sumptuous, sensational Grace Brighton, Jake starts taking this assignment a whole lot more seriously.

Once again, Lauren Layne has left me totally delighted.

My heart ached for Grace after what happened to her in the last book, so I was rooting for Grace 1.0 and Grace 2.0 to just be Grace and see what a wonderful and awesome man Jake was. I wasn't sure about him at first, by the more time Grace and Jake spent together, the more I loved him. I always love it when a guy puts his heart on the line the way Jake did, and I just found myself falling for him more and more with each new thing I learned about him.

This book had so many awesome elements: great banter, fantastic chemistry, a fun story, and even a grand gesture. I laughed, I smiled, I swooned. Layne has solidified her place on my go-to list.
