USA TODAY BESTSELLER • Sparks fly between a misunderstood New York socialite and a cynical divorce lawyer in this lively standalone rom-com from the author of Blurred Lines and Love Story.

Pampered heiress Georgianna Watkins has a party-girl image to maintain, but all the shopping and clubbing is starting to feel a little bit hollow—and a whole lot lonely. Though Georgie would never admit it, the highlights of her week are the mornings when she comes home at the same time as her uptight, workaholic neighbor is leaving to hit the gym and put in a long day at the office. Teasing him is the most fun Georgie’s had in years—and the fuel for all her naughtiest daydreams.

Celebrity divorce attorney Andrew Mulroney doesn’t have much time for women, especially spoiled tabloid princesses who spend more time on Page Six than at an actual job. Although Georgie’s drop-dead gorgeous, she’s also everything Andrew resents: the type of girl who inherited her penthouse instead of earning it. But after Andrew caps one of their predawn sparring sessions with a surprise kiss—a kiss that’s caught on camera—all of Manhattan is gossiping about whether they’re a real couple. And nobody’s more surprised than Andrew to find that the answer just might be yes. -

The entire time I was reading this, I kept praying that it wouldn’t end. I was having a good time. It’s fun. It’s romantic. It’s an overall good time. This is the fourth or fifth book that I have read by Lauren Layne and she knows how to write a stellar romantic comedy.

Like mentioned previously, this felt like a rom com that you watch in the movies and can’t help but grim all the way through it. I enjoyed both Georgie and Andrew. And I loved their banter and their interactions. Both of these characters are complete opposites, but despite that it works. Georgie is a fun hopeless romantic. And Andrew is a serious divorce attorney. They contrasted each other very well.

Almost every morning at 5am, they would run into each other at their apartment entrance. Georgie, carrying donuts, would be coming home from partying all night. While Andrew would be on his way to work. Every one of those interactions were gold, and the chemistry was off the chart.

There is something about this book that screams comfort. There are some angsty subjects mentioned; however, those aspects played more a background role. Georgie was a natural sunny person, and I think that helped a lot.

Final Analysis

Walk of Shame is a perfectly fun rom-com that will have you wanting more.
