She'll Steal Your Heart by Rachel Lacey
5.0
I’ve been waiting to hear Lauren’s side of the story after she briefly appeared in Rachel Lacey’s first book in the Don’t Cry For Me series. That said, this book, like all of the other books in the series, can be read as a stand-alone. However, reading the other three books in the series would be highly beneficial!
A poor choice 15 months ago has haunted Lauren since and she’s returned to the city she loves to spend a weekend with friends and after that make amends for her impulsive and reckless decision. Lauren confides in Mia that first weekend and fortunately, for Lauren, Mia is non-judgmental and goes out of her way to help Lauren by representing her, offering her a part-time job, and a place to stay.
Mia and Lauren each wrestle with their budding feelings for one another while trying to maintain the friend- zone. Mia even attempts several dates that never develop into more. This is most likely due to the fact that she compares each of the women to Lauren was reason enough.
Mia and Lauren are ideally well suited for one another and it was easy to see that they are the other’s missing piece. The baggage that both women came to the table with, didn’t prevent them from pursuing what their hearts so clearly wanted. The chemistry between them is undeniable and the age gap is never an issue.
The time spent in Mia’s cat cafe with all of the adorable rescue cats (especially Gilbert) was delightful and I wish I had the opportunity to hang out at the cafe where I’d be found sipping delicious coffee while snuggling adorable kitties.
The subplot of fandom was engaging as was Lauren’s road to self-publishing her first novel by way of creating fan fiction.
*Updated review*
Lori Prince continues her run narrating the Midnight in Manhattan Series and again, she absolutely kills it! Her ability to convey so many emotions with just her voice is absolutely spectacular! I was completely immersed in Mia and Lauren's story until the very end and Oh! The epilogue is amazing!
