An Oprah.com Best Romance Novel of 2019!
“Perfect for readers who love the dishy women's fiction of Candace Bushnell.” —Booklist
From the author of the New York Times bestselling Stiletto and Oxford series, the first in a sizzling new series following the unlikely friendship of three Upper East Side women as they struggle to achieve their dreams and find true love and happiness in the city that never sleeps.
For as long as she can remember, Bronx-born Naomi Powell has had one goal: to prove her worth among the Upper East Side elite—the same people for which her mom worked as a housekeeper. Now, as the strongminded, sassy CEO of one of the biggest jewelry empires in the country, Naomi finally has exactly what she wants—but it’s going to take more than just the right address to make Manhattan’s upper class stop treating her like an outsider.
The worst offender is her new neighbor, Oliver Cunningham—the grown son of the very family Naomi’s mother used to work for. Oliver used to torment Naomi when they were children, and as a ridiculously attractive adult, he’s tormenting her in entirely different ways. Now they find themselves engaged in a battle-of-wills that will either consume or destroy them.
“Strong characters and relatable situations elevate Layne’s bighearted contemporary...[which] digs into class differences, emotional baggage, and the reality of dealing with aging parents” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). With the sexy combination of charm, heart, and snark, Lauren Layne’s new series is perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Sally Thorne.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This red-hot romance pulls you right into the drama-filled life of one of New York’s most successful women. Naomi, the founder of a hot accessories empire, is the face of New York magazine’s “30 Under 30” feature. But the Upper East Sider’s glamorous life is turned upside down when she discovers that she was her late boyfriend’s other other woman. We loved accompanying Naomi on her emotional rollercoaster ride, especially when she reconnects with her childhood frenemy Oliver (the son of her mother’s employer), bringing bad memories of how he betrayed her. Thing is, Oliver is now a gorgeous architect who’s very into Naomi—and he doesn’t recognize her from when they were kids. The first book in Lauren Layne’s loosely interconnected Central Park Pact series delivers triumph, forgiveness, and plenty of heart-melting romance. Narrator Nancy Wu makes us feel like we’re inside Naomi’s head as she navigates all the drama. Passion on Park Avenue is a feel-good tribute to the ways people can surprise you.
