Passion on Park Avenue
by Lauren Layne
This is why I will continue to read Lauren Layne forever. This. Book. Right Here. This was a slower burn and it wasn't as "sexy" and I loved it. So many romance authors put in HUGE issues for the H and h and then by the end they were completely glossed over and fixed miraculously by them doing basically nothing. This is never the case with Lauren Layne. She puts in real issues for her characters and you get to watch as they figure things out together. It doesn't happen overnight and it isn't easy. This is what we see with Naomi and Oliver. Oliver's dad has an illness that takes up much of Oliver's time and it burdens him. It isn't an easy fix. Things happen that aren't pretty, but you get to see the struggle in the pages. I love that. My biggest pet peeve with an author is that they throw huge hurdles at characters (addiction, death of loved ones, crippling depression) into the story and then when they find the love of their lives they are fixed. I need to see the struggle. Lauren Layne doesn't disappoint me. I loved the slow burn of this couple.
