The Prenup
The Prenup | LAUREN. LAYNE
9 posts | 9 read | 4 to read
The Prenup is set to be THE romantic comedy hit of the summer! Perfect for fans of Jo Watson, Lindsey Kelk and Sophie Kinsella. My name is Charlotte Spencer and, ten years ago, I married my brother's best friend. I haven't seen him since. Charlotte Spencer grew up on the blue-blooded Upper East Side of Manhattan but she never wanted the sit-still-look-pretty future her parents dictated for her. Enter Colin Walsh, her brother's quiet, brooding, man-bun-sporting best friend, and with him a chance to escape. He's far from Charlotte's dream guy as but they need each other for one thing: marriage. One courthouse wedding later, Charlotte's inheritance is hers to start a business in San Francisco and Irish-born Colin has a Green Card. Ten years later, Colin drops a bombshell: the terms of their prenup state that before either can file for divorce, they have to live under the same roof for three months. Suddenly this match made in practicality is about to take on whole new meaning... Want more fun, fresh, flirty and very sexy rom-com? Check out Lauren's Oxford series and don't miss her warm, witty and sexy Wedding Belles series and the I Do, I Don't series, as well as the romantic standalones in the Love Unexpectedly series.

My final #LMPBC read was a winner! Lots going on here...teenage rebellion against parents, marriage of convenience, striking out on your own, proving yourself by becoming successful, returning home to rectify past issues, falling in love, learning love may mean letting go....whew!!! It has it all! Loved Charlotte‘s and Colin‘s banter and their less-than-perfect slide into love. 4/5⭐️
Will definitely read more from Layne.

robinb @TheAromaofBooks I will probably get this on its way home sometime this week. 😊 5y
robinb UPDATE: @TheAromaofBooks I just had a chance to get it in the mail to you and took it! 🤣 Should arrive by next Tuesday (18th). 5y

TheAromaofBooks Thank you so much for the update, Robin!! I'm so excited about getting my own book back and seeing what everyone had to say!! Glad you enjoyed this one - I thought it was a pretty fun romp as well, although I'm always a sucker for the marriage of convenience trope! 5y
robinb @TheAromaofBooks Since we both are newbies with Layne, please let me know if you try any more of hers and what you think. And I‘ll do the same! 😊👍 5y
TheAromaofBooks Yes, definitely!!! ❤ 5y

Say it ain‘t so!! 😩😩 My last #LMPBC read in Group R is up next...I hate to see it end!

This is a new author for me so looking forward to getting into this one.

TheAromaofBooks I can't believe it's over already!! I hope you enjoy this one - I had some issues with it but overall felt like it was a fun read. 5y
robinb @TheAromaofBooks Thanks! 😊 Had you read this author before? 5y
TheAromaofBooks Actually no, although she's been on my radar forever! A book blog friend loves her and is always reading and reviewing her books, so I don't know why it took me so long to pick one up! This one doesn't get too explicit, but I know a lot of her other books do, which is part of the reason I haven't been in a huge rush to read them. 5y
robinb @TheAromaofBooks I know what you mean! I've wanted to try her too, but judging by the raciness of some of her covers, I wasn't sure if there was much substance there....know what I mean?! So far, I'm enjoying this one. Interesting premise. 5y

Lauren Layne is one of my go to romance authors but I haven‘t read a lot of her lately. So I was excited when @TheAromaofBooks picked this for this round of #LMPBC. I don‘t want to say much but I am always a sucker for marriage of convenience book. I really enjoyed it is! Loved Charlotte and Colin!

TheAromaofBooks So glad you enjoyed it! Lauren Layne has been on my radar FOREVER but somehow this was the first book of hers I had ever read?? Definitely want to check out some more by her. Do you have a favorite? 5y
Lovesbooks87 @TheAromaofBooks I loved her 21 Wall Street series as well as her Wedding Belles series. But I haven‘t read a book by her that I haven‘t enjoyed! 5y

I'm going with a pick for this one, although there was one major issue I had, which I will post as a spoiler comment. I'm a huge sucker for the marriage-of-convenience trope, so that was a big plus. Overall a fun and fast read. It's my #LMPBC pick, so I am interested to see what @hes7 @lovesbooks87 and @robinb think about it!!

TheAromaofBooks My problem with this book is that there is another woman in the picture. So no matter how much I liked Charlotte and Colin together, Colin was cheating in his heart even if he didn't with his actions. I especially hate it when this kind of scenario is presented as “well the other woman is a bitch so it doesn't matter“ - um. It ALWAYS matters. Cheating is cheating. Colin CHOSE Rebecca and that means he owes her to be faithful. 5y
robinb I don‘t think I‘ve ever read anything by this author so I‘m looking forward to it. 😊 5y
TheAromaofBooks @robinb - She has been on my radar for a while, but this was the first of hers I had read as well. I'll definitely find another one, as there were a lot of things about this book I really enjoyed. 5y

I don't really know how much time I'm going to have to read for this month's #24B4Monday readathon, so I am aiming for an average of two hours per day - six hours feels doable! Right now I'm reading the tagged book as my #LMPBC pick for #GroupR

Also have a job interview this afternoon, so we will see what happens!!

@TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65 @jb72

Eggbeater Good luck with your interview. Let us know how it goes. 5y
BookNAround Good luck! 5y
jb72 I hope all goes great with the job interview! Good luck! Thanks for joining us. 5y

Andrew65 Think we are in a similar situation this month. 😔 Good luck with any time you do get to. (edited) 5y
TheAromaofBooks @Eggbeater @BookNAround @jb72 @Andrew65 - Thank you for the encouragement! And I got the job, so I'm super stoked!! It's at a greenhouse, which will be a perfect seasonal balance for my current job at an orchard. :-D 5y
Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks Yey! 🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂👏😊👍🥳 5y
BookNAround 🎉🎉🎉Awesome! 5y
robinb I‘m late with this, but congrats on your job! That‘s wonderful! 🎉🎉🎉🌿🌱☘️🍀🌵💐 5y
TheAromaofBooks @robinb - Thank you!! I've only worked a few odd days so far - regular hours will start late February/early March - but it's close to home and there is nothing quite as happy as working in your short sleeves in a warm, sunny greenhouse when it's still in the 30's outside!! I worked two seasons at a larger greenhouse further away a couple years ago, so I'm excited to learn new things at this one, which focuses on wholesale herbs. 5y
robinb @TheAromaofBooks that does sound wonderful! And neat to be working with herbs as well! 5y
TheAromaofBooks @robinb - yes!! They are my favorites. Also excited about my employee discount! 😁 5y
robinb @TheAromaofBooks 👍 Employee discounts ROCK! 🎉🎉🎉😊 5y
TheAromaofBooks @robinb - When I worked at the other greenhouse (a much larger operation) they had a system where you could purchase stuff and have it come straight out of your paycheck! I completely avoided that dangerous territory because I was afraid I would owe THEM money instead of the other way around! 😂 5y
robinb @TheAromaofBooks Oh wow, imagine working at a bookstore with that arrangement!! 😳😳😳 I‘d always be in debt! 😩😩🤣🤣 5y

One of those books that does not stand up to any amount of sustained thinking about the plot, but carried me along happily whilst reading.
