AN EX FOR CHRISTMAS by Author LAUREN LAYNE

 
SYNOPSIS:
 
She’s making a list—and checking it twice. But is there a nice guy among all her naughty exes? The New York Times bestselling author of Blurred Linesreturns with a charming friends-to-lovers rom-com. When a psychic tells spunky, superstitious Kelly Byrne that she’s already met her true love, she becomes obsessed with the idea of tracking him down before Christmas. Kelly immediately writes up an “Ex List” and starts contacting old boyfriends to figure out which one is the one. When her college sweetheart rolls into town, Kelly convinces herself that they’re meant to be. The trouble is, sparks are flying with someone she’s never given a chance: her best friend, Mark. Mark Blakely has watched the guys on Kelly’s list break her heart, and he’s not looking forward to watching them do it all over again. Mark’s always been there for her, but the timing’s never worked out for their relationship to be something more. Now, just as Mark is ready to move on, the sexual tension between them is suddenly off the charts. With Christmas morning around the corner, he just hopes Kelly will wake up and realize that everything she wants has been right in front of her all along.
 
 
 
 
MY THOUGHTS AFTER READING...
 

Oh man... First off, I just wanna say that I'm one of Lauren Layne's biggest fans from the far east... I just love her! I can personally attest to the fact that her stories are such moodboosters!

 

So this book is a Holiday love story that centers on two bestfriends—Kelly Byrne and Mark Blakely... and yeah, of course it doesnt take a genius to figure out whats going on... You might think its so typically predictable, but nnnnnooo... I mean yeah, it's a holiday love story...sure its gonna end in a HEA, but the journey of getting to that point is just so toe-curling and it gave me butterflies in my tummy! The build up of the main characters towards eachother is so seamless... It's sweet but not the  eyeroll-inducing-cheesy kind...plus its funny and frustrating at the same time... Somewhere in the middle I was like, "Mark! Dude, get some balls and tell her already!!" But then Kelly is just so ridiculously oblivious!smh lol... 

 

Its everything you'd want in a holiday love story—and more! I knew from the outset that this book is gonna be one of those that will leave you sighing and wishing that miracles like these would happen in real life... I had heart-eyes practically the entire time reading it!

 

I cant wait for ya'll to read more about Kelly and Mark's journey! The best Christmas Love Story as far as I'm concerned.
