Release Blitz: Made in Manhattan by Lauren Layne

Made in Manhattan by Lauren Layne is now live!

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Central Park Pact comes a reverse My Fair Lady for the modern era about a pampered and privileged Manhattan socialite who must teach an unpolished and denim-loving nobody from the Louisiana Bayou how to fit in with the upper crust of New York City.

Violet Townsend has always been a people pleaser. Raised in the privileged world of Upper East Side Manhattan, she always says the right things, wears the right clothes, and never rocks the boat. Violet would do *anything* for the people closest to her, especially her beloved grandmother. So when she asks Violet to teach the newly-discovered grandson of her friend how to fit in with New York City's elite, Violet immediately agrees. Her goal? To get Cain Stone ready to take his place as heir to his family company...but to say he's not exactly an eager student is an understatement.

Born and raised in rural Louisiana and now making his own way in New Orleans, Cain Stone is only playing along for the paycheck at the end. He has no use for the grandmother he didn't know existed and no patience for the uppity Violet's attempts to turn him into a suit-wearing, museum-attending gentleman.

But somewhere amidst antagonistic dinner parties and tortured tux fittings, Cain and Violet come to a begrudging understanding--and the uptight Violet realizes she's not the only one doing the teaching. As she and Cain begin to find mutual respect for one another (and maybe even something more), Violet learns that blindly following society's rules doesn't lead to happiness...and that sometimes the best things in life come from the most unexpected places.

This is my first time reading a book by Lauren Layne and I am so very happy that I had the chance to read this. I mean a reverse "My Fair Lady" is what intrigued me but the writing/story telling is what captured me.

Violet Townsend is the perfect upper east sider - always wanting to please everyone/being who she thought they wanted. But when her grandmother's friend, Edith, tasks her with polishing up her long lost grandson, Cain... well Violet has her work cut out for her. This task makes Violet re-evaluate everything.

And Cain, broody, sexy Cain is the consummate bad boy. He is always giving Violet a hard time but there 'lil glimpses at his vulnerability.

So can Violet refine Cain? Have they both met their match? Definitely one-click this story - you will not be disappointed.
What a sweet story. You can really feel the connection between the characters! This flip flopped "My Fair Lady" take is one not to miss! Violet and Cane share a true connection, and it was nice to see Violet making over Cane for this book! Easy read and well worth your time! One click this one today!
