Review
NO SPOILERS!
Hard Sell was another sexy and entertaining standalone contemporary romance in the 21 Wall Street series, and I absolutely loved it! Hard Sell was my second book from Lauren Layne, and it definitely won’t be the last. I was addicted to her writing style and the fabulous storyline and characters she created in this sexy and unputdownable frenemies-to-lovers story. I can’t wait to read more from this author, and my fingers are crossed that there will hopefully be one more book in the 21 Wall Street series!
The storyline was excellent. I loved the concept and was immediately sucked into the plot. Friends-to-lovers and enemies-to-lovers are two of my favorite tropes in romance, and Hard Sell combined the best of both to create an outstanding and unforgettable frenemies-to-lovers tale. The pacing was fantastic and I was never once bored. I loved everything from beginning to end, especially that it was told from dual point of view, which is my absolute favorite. Lauren Layne definitely has another hit on her hands with Hard Sell!
The characters were magnificent. Matt and Sabrina were perfect main characters, and I loved them so much. I loved their personalities and red-hot chemistry together, and how their relationship progressed throughout. Of course there were some hiccups along the way, but nothing too terrible. I loved the dynamic between Matt and Sabrina, and the push and pull of their relationship. Since their story was frenemies-to-lovers, the banter and interactions they had with each other were highly entertaining, and there was never a dull moment. Another aspect I loved was the amazing cast of secondary characters, a few of which were introduced in Hot Asset, book one in the 21 Wall Street series. I loved the friendships and close relationship they all had together, and I’m really hoping that two of them get their own story in the near future. Matt and Sabrina’s story was another fantastic addition to the 21 Wall Street series, and although there were some ups and downs, I was very happy with the ending.
Hard Sell was a sexy, addicting, and entertaining standalone romance in the 21 Wall Street series, and I would HIGHLY recommend it and Hot Asset! Lauren Layne has quickly become a top favorite author, and she did a phenomenal job with Matt and Sabrina’s story. If you haven’t checked out the sexy and intriguing 21 Wall Street series, what are you waiting for?!
