Classic Lauren Layne. Great, well-developed characters, a core friend group that is as charming as the leads. She remains on my auto-buy list!
Wall Street vs SEC
What happens when two professionals historically at odds with one another’s chosen line of work start to fall for each other … this book!!! Ian is a top level, 7 figure earning, Wall Street hot shot who has been accused of insider trading by an unknown person. Lara is the SEC agent assigned to find the evidence, bring him down, earn well deserved recognition, and get that letter of recommendation to be accepted into the FBI. But what she does not find is proof, of any kind, and her dreams start to slowly slip away … or rather evolve to want more.

What a spectacular start to a new series! Hot Asset, book #1 in the 21 Wall Street series, has a little bit of everything for your reading enjoyment!
Ian, who came from foster care, has made a name and a fabulous life for himself. Handsome, smart and rich, with an excellent job and amazing friends, Ian has all he needs in life. Or at least he thought he was until a woman he’s trying to make a play for does the unthinkable...she passes on his advances!
Lara is damn good at her job and is working her way up thru the ranks in hopes to make it to the FBI like her parents when she is sent to Wolfe Industry to investigate Ian. This case could make or break her career but what Lara never expects is for her heart to possibly get in the way.
I truly enjoyed every moment of Hot Asset! I loved that Lara didn’t cave to Ian and yet their attraction to each other is insanely hot but they both know a relationship is not something in the cards for either one of them. I enjoyed the banter between Lara and Ian and when you throw in the secondary characters...outstanding! Hot Asset truly had everything I was looking for!

It feels like it's been 5 years since I've finished a book. Wow. Once again, Lauren Layne came through when I needed her. Read my full review here.
