A review by alexlcriddle
The Other Harlow Girl by Lynn Messina
4.0
4.5 stars
I enjoyed this novel more than the first one. Vinnie was a delightful protagonist, and I'm so glad she was given her own fully developed story. The story itself was interesting and original. When people are in love, they sometimes tend to exhibit uncharacteristic behaviors, and this novel captured that very well. I liked the addition of Emma and Trent and seeing their relationship after marriage (I liked them better here than in the first novel). The varying characters' points of view added complexity to the story, and the writing was well executed. As a warning, there was an inappropriate scene that, quite frankly, was unexpected given the characters (but again, I guess love drives us wild, clouding our judgment and propriety). I would have given the novel 5 stars if not for the steamy scene at the end.
