About this ebook
As Lauren Layne’s salacious Sex, Love & Stiletto series returns, a jaded columnist discovers a steamy way to get over an old flame: falling for him all over again.
As Stiletto magazine’s authority on all things breakup-and-heartache, Emma Sinclair writes from personal experience. Five years ago, Emma was Charlotte, North Carolina’s darling debutante and a blushing bride-to-be. Now she’s the ice queen of the Manhattan dating scene. Emma left her sultry Southern drawl behind, but not even her closest friends know that with it she left her heart. Now Emma’s latest article forces her to face her demons—namely, the devilishly sexy guy who ditched her at the altar.
After giving up everything for a pro-soccer career, Alex Cassidy watches his dreams crumble as a knee injury sidelines him for good. Now he’s hanging up his cleats and giving journalism a shot. It’s just a coincidence that he happens to pick a job in the same field, and the same city, as his former fiancée . . . right? But when Emma moves in next door, it’s no accident. It’s research. And Alex can’t help wondering what might have been. Unlike the innocent girl he remembers, this Emma is chic, sophisticated, and assertive—and she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. The trouble is, Alex has never wanted her more.

Just as with the other books, this one is just as enjoyable to read. The characters have depth to them and they seem to click. I like how books flow so easily that before you know it you are almost done. There is not a lot of what I consider inner turmoil, cursing and graphic sex scenes. It was tastefully done. This is the story of Emma and Alex or "Cassidy" as he is referred to throughout the book. Emma works at Stilettos and Alex works for the male version of Stilettos. They have a history. They were previously engaged and the breakup did not go well. Alex becomes Emma's temporary boss. Alex sends an email telling Emma what her next assignment will be. She is not happy. She has to write about her ex's, Cassidy being one of them. This is a story of second chances. You can feel their attraction to each other, but Emma just can't get past Alex's "reason" for proposing to her. I don't want to give the story away. Of course, over time they are finally able to discuss the situation and realize everything wasn't quite how it looked. Alex really did propose to Emma because he he loved her. If you are looking for solid story lines, this author is for you.

For this review all you have to do is picture a lady in her early 20's screaming and giggling at the same time. Cassidy and Emma were always going at it with each other although in a more peaceful and cold way. I love the style of writing! It was enough to keep you reading and guessing to find out what happened at their wedding. I love the book from start to finish but i was hoping for an epilogue. I felt they deserved another happy moment to be shared but I'm fine. Like i said, i love the book to bits.

The Trouble with Love was gifted to me. I was given ARC for my honest opinion. This book turned out to be more than I ever expected. The sexual tension within this story you could cut with a knife. The main characters have a complicated unfinished history. Emma reinvented her self after a heartbreak and now comes face to face with Alex (the heartbreaker) in the flesh. I found this book to be a fun, sexy and smart read. Lauren Layne is definitely an author to watch.

About the author
Lauren Layne is a USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance novels. Prior to becoming a writer, she worked in e-commerce and Web marketing. In 2011 Lauren and her husband moved from Seattle to New York City, where she decided to pursue a full-time writing career. It took six months to get her first book deal (despite Lauren’s ardent assurances to her husband that it would take only three). Since then, she’s gone on to publish ten books, including those in the bestselling Sex, Love & Stiletto series, with more stories always in the works. Lauren currently lives in Chicago with her husband and their spoiled Pomeranian. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her at happy hour, running at a doggedly slow pace, or trying to straighten her naturally curly hair.
