Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by CristiinaReads୨ৎ on May 18, 2019

A sweet romance filled with that angst between two characters in which both have a common past that must be dealt with or their future is at stakes of being together... Let me start off by saying that I have not read a Lauren Layne novel in such a long time. And to have this beauty in my hands wa......more

Goodreads review by Whitney on March 03, 2019

Thanks to Gallery Books for the early review copy! This book was kind of my breaking point in wishing that romance books came with ratings because I was expecting angst and steamy scenes in this but there's only one fade-to-black scene. So from now on, I'm rating romance books in my reviews, and this......more

*****FOUR STARS***** {Netgalley ARC} If the kiss on Saturday had been the promise, this was the delivery. The sort of kiss that ruined a girl for all other kisses in the future. I’ve been a fan of Lauren Layne’s writing for several years now. I haven’t always loved every story she’s written, but the ra......more

Goodreads review by Camilla on January 02, 2020

At the end I cried, not because the book was sad, but because it was so sweet! As a reader, I adore love-hate romances, but this one swept me off my feet in a rare way. What I loved the most was the total un-bastardy quality of the leading man, Oliver, the best male lead ever written. Usually with en......more

I usually don't go for romance books that look like, well, this. Contemporary romance isn't my thing, but even if it was, rich white lady problems don't really interest me. However, Passion on Park Avenue turned out to be a bit better than I was expecting. I didn't like the cheesy set-up in the firs......more
