    Good not great friends to lovers romance
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2020*

I feel like this book had so much potential with its premise of best friends to lovers and yet it really fell below the bar for me. I don’t know if it was because I hyped the book up too much, but in the previous two books in this series, bothwhich I quite liked but definitely felt like I was eagerly biding time until I could read Clarke and Audrey’s story, the story between these two characters felt like it was itching to be written.  There were definitely stolen glances that Naomi and Claire both noticed from Clarke in the previous two books and whilst reading Marriage on Madison Avenue (MoMA) i was left searching for the same tension.Clarke and Audrey agree to fake being each other’s fiancées in order to save face in front of Clarke’s marriage minded mother who keeps trying to push his ex on him, and Audrey’s millions of Instagram followers/ and haters who question why she hasn’t been romantically involved with anyone.The premise with Clarke’s ex being in the picture, and audrey’s jealousy could have been better fleshed out. But instead you kind of end up having SOME sympathy to the ex (Elizabeth) because she actually does, admittedly belatedly, realise she loved Clarke.It’s a weird dynamic this book. I don’t felt like either the H/h really truly had solid reasons to love each other, they just kept saying things like “home is where she is” or “I’ve always depended on her and she/he has always been there”. As I’m typing this I realise those kind of phrases are sometimes the pivotal eye opening reasons why the H/h justify/ where it clicks that they’re supposed to be together, but it just didn’t feel strong enough here for me.If I’m being completely honest, I feel like the lack of physical/sexual scenes probably DID effect the overall chemistry and believability of Clarke & Audrey’s story.I am a long long time reader of Lauren Layne’s work, and whilst some of her writing more recently -particularly with The Prenup- has done a bit more “fade to black” for steamy scenes or just not happened on the page at all, it didn’t feel right in this book.“The Prenup” was probably her first foray into omitting steamy scenes from her romance books, and I frankly still freaking loved it. It added the exact right element of tension between the H/h to the book and definitely developed it into an amazing slow-burn that still left me satisfied with the H/h chemistry and their arc as a whole.But the same  technique of “fade to black” seen in MoMA really detracts from the chemistry between H/h. I feel the development of chemistry between characters, and inclusion of steamier scenes is arguably even MORE important in a “bestfriends to lovers” trope book. Because as readers we need to understand that there is MORE than just friendship between these two, and also how believable that is. It didn’t feel that way for Clarke and Audrey’s book.Also I don’t really like “Dree” as her nickname, especially when SHE doesn’t like it either?!Anyway, Lauren Layne will always be an auto-buy author for me. I genuinely love the worlds she develops in her series. For those readers who have read the Central Park pact series, it’s worth reading this to see how it all ends. (Also to be introduced to a new billionaire that I suspect will be the hero of LL’s next book/series).For readers who are new to LL, I’d recommend reading the stiletto series. Also the Moretti brothers books were great too! For readers who actually prefer less steamy scenes in their romances/any lover of romance in general, read “The Prenup”, as it was actually one of my most favourite books of 2019.

    The perfect ending to a delightful series
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2020*

'Marriage on Madison Avenue' is the perfect ending to a delightful series. Lauren Layne brings her signature effervescence to this wonderfully romantic novel, and, as is typical in a Layne tale, it’s full of characters who are interesting, three-dimensional, and who you wish were real.Audrey Tate and Clarke West have been best friends since childhood. They’ve always had each other’s backs, even when it comes to announcing an occasional fake engagement (or three) to stave off persistent ex-girlfriends, matchmaking mothers and/or gossipy social media accounts. This time, however, it seems like said fake engagement just might stick. And Audrey and Clarke just might discover what others around them have expected for a long time: that they’re meant to be together.First off, if you haven’t read the first two installments of the Central Park Pact series, do that, and then check back. Better yet, binge read all three for the first time (or again) and immerse yourself in the strength of an unlikely trio of friends who each overcome their own insecurities in empowering and unexpected ways. To me, Audrey has always been the character who has intrigued me the most, especially regarding her relationship with Clarke. So this book was the icing on the already delicious and decadent cake that is the Central Park Pact series.For those of you who love a good romance without all of the explicitness, this novel will be right up your alley. All of the sexy time happens off-book, but there is still an ever-present chemistry (and some great kissing scenes) that is satisfying to read. It simmers before it boils, and is the epitome of romantic.Layne knocks it out of the (Central) park again with 'Marriage on Madison Avenue.' Add it to your TBR immediately, and thank me later.

    Marriage on Madison Avenue (Central Park Pact #3)
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2020*

Audrey Tate and Clarke West are best friends who have known each other since childhood, but they have only ever been just that: FRIENDS and happy to be in that comfortable zone. However, this 'friend zone' is challenged when Audrey and Clarke decide to pretend to be engaged to ward off the unwelcome advances of an internet troll and an ex-girlfriend. To really sell the role of a newly engagement, in-love couple in the world, these two have to share some private and intense moments like fancy dates, posed photo sessions, and lazy holiday nights. But the moments start to feel more real than pretend and real feelings start to form between the two forever friends. Audrey and Clarke have to make a choice: do they pursue this new, intense turn in their relationship or do they call off the engagement and go back to normal? Can they go back? Do they really want to at all?Lauren Layne delivers another gem with her third Central Park Pact book, Marriage on Madison Avenue . It's a bright and sparkly finish which is pretty much typical of this author. The Central Park Pact series was written so beautifully and hilariously that I was craving more by the last page. The final few chapters are perfectly wonderful*. (*Loyal LL readers will get this reference.)Audrey and Clarke's story is a wonderful bookend to a great series written by one of the notable voices of the romance world.
