I loved After the Kiss and could not wait for this second book in the Stiletto series.  Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed in this one.  I was not very happy with the plot overall and the way Grace and Jake ridiculed/embarrassed one another all over social media as part of the competition between the two magazines they worked for.  I also never really connected with either Grace or Jake and frankly I just didn’t feel any real zing between the two.  This makes me sad because I LOVE Lauren Layne’s voice.  She writes some of the best snarky banter I have ever read and the chemistry between Julie and Mitchell in the first book was off the charts!  Although this wasn’t a favorite of mine, I will continue reading Ms. Layne’s work.  She’s awesome and I highly recommend After the Kiss and her New Adult novel, Isn’t She Lovely.
