Someone Like You: An Oxford Novel

Someone Like You is by far the best book in this series. I love Lauren Layne’s books and this series is one of my favorites. If you are like me and have been invested in this series from the beginning, then you will understand when I say that I have been not so patiently awaiting Lincoln’s book. Lincoln is known as the ladies’ man, a manwhore who runs through woman like underwear. He is charming, funny, and of course drop dead gorgeous. But behind the perfect personality and devastating good looks hides a man who is emotionally broken. He hides behind this persona he had made and no one knows the true pain he feels, not even his good friends. However, when he meets Daisy he can see and equally broken soul and the longer these two talk the more he feels like he has found someone who truly understands the real him. Daisy is the perfect match for Lincoln. She is funny, outspoken and will not take crap from anyone. However, like Lincoln, few really know the true Daisy and what secrets her past really holds. Someone Like You Teaser 2When their new friendship starts heading towards more these two must decide if they can take a chance on each other and open their hearts to love again. This story was a beautiful and emotional journey through pain and healing. I laughed and I cried but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Ms. Layne nailed this book and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good romance. I received an eARC of this book compliments of the publisher in exchange for my honest review and opinion. All ratings and opinions stated are my own.

ARC Review: Someone Like You (Oxford) by Lauren Layne Here's my watershed realization. Lauren Layne, gets me. She writes stories that can breakdown emotions. She can write a story that will have me struggling to keep a straight face or fighting to hold back the tears. Someone Like You is a blend of the two that delivers a freeing experience. Lincoln and Daisy have seen some of their darkest moments play out in real time, right before their eyes. Broken hearts, shattered dreams and devastating losses have resided outside of their front door but a guardian angel has their back. All through this story I kept coming back to the adage about people coming into your life for a reason and that seemed to be the case with Daisy and Lincoln. In order to heal, each needed a friend. In order to move forward, they had to let go of the past. Like a fine wine, the Oxford series keeps getting better with time.

This story will stick with you for sometime after reading. It is an emotional, steamy, and heartfelt read. The author grabs your attention from the beginning and keeps your attention to the end. Lincoln and Daisy are both going through some difficult struggles in their life and the reader could feel their emotions. Boy, could you ever feel their emotions. I think this is why the story stays with you. Just thinking about this story I start to feel some of the emotions that Lincoln and Daisy went through.
