Publisher's summary

From New York Times best-selling author Lauren Layne comes the second delightfully charming installment in the Central Park Pact series, following a young widow whose newfound cynicism about love is challenged by a sexy, rough-around-the-edges contractor.

There’s never a bad time to fall in love in the city, right? Wrong. According to the recently widowed Claire Hayes, it’s very, very wrong. In fact, after finding out her late husband was a liar and a cheat, Claire’s convinced there’s never a good time for romantic notions. Determined to rid her home of anything that reminds her of her philandering husband, Claire sets out to redesign her entire Upper East Side brownstone and make it her own. But when she meets gruff and often-cantankerous contractor Scott Turner and realizes not all men are scumbags, Claire must decide if she’s ready to risk her heart again.

Scott needs a change of pace from the corporate offices and swanky hotels he’s been building lately and bluntly makes it clear to Claire that he only took on her house for that reason, adding that he has no patience for a pampered, damaged princess on his job site. But when long work days soon turn into even longer nights, their mutual wariness morphs into something more complicated - a grudging respect, and maybe even attraction? Scott knows he’s not one to settle down, but then why can’t he bring himself to put the finishing touches on Claire’s house and move on to the next job?

Filled with laugh-out-loud scenes that blend perfectly with the touching friendships Layne brings to life on the page, this “hugely entertaining” (USA Today) novel is perfect for fans of Lauren Weisberger.

Cute a punch, err lemonade

‘Enemies to lovers’ is always a win for me. Throw in a sexy construction man and boom I’m sold.

In a world of vanilla, be Strawberry Lemonade!

This was a nice sequel in the Central Park Pact trilogy. I could completely understand Claire's frustration in trying to break out of the rut that her life had become while her husband was alive. As a young widow she needs to learn how to move on, and to do that, she must discover who she really is. The perfect person to help he with that is Scott, a friend of a friend who takes on the task of assisting Claire with a house renovation, then quickly becomes a confidant and eventually much more.

Virginia and Tim both did a great job with the narration in this one. Tim is perfect for the gruff and jaded Scott, and Virginia once again shows he great versatility in her performance as a wallflower, who isn't really a wallflower, but everyone thinks she is and it's all she can do to keep pushing and prove to herself that she is more than just vanilla. She is Strawberry Lemonade! Virginia brings out all the feels in this one and just hits you in the heart!

Once again we are left with little detail and a fade to black sex scene. Give me the details!!! Overall it was a cute story with a satisfying yet super fast conclusion (you'll see).

Claire's turn

This is the second book in the Central Park Pact but can be a stand a lone story since everything is explained from the first book.
Claire needs to have her home renovated to her liking after her cheating husband died. Scott is a friend of a friend who is recommended for the job. Both have been cheated on and don't want a relationship. As they spend more time together on the renovation, they start having feelings for each other even though they don't want to and their friends warn them not to get involved so they don't get hurt. Lauren Layne always writes wonderful stories and I like how this one evolves. I thought Tim Paige and Virginia Rose did a fantastic narration of the book and brought Claire and Scott to life for me. I'm anxiously waiting for Audrey's story next.

Loved it!

I loved Claire and Scott's story. This was cute and emotional with some steamy moments thrown into the mix. This group of friends have completely won me over. While I loved Naomi and Oliver, I have to say I think Claire and Scott have taken over as my favorite. I can not wait to see what comes next. Absolutely a must read/listen.

Nice series

I am new to Lauren Layne's books, an I am enjoying this series. I really enjoy the fact that she keeps the bedroom door shut. I like the stories, you understand what is going on, without all the specific details. I applaud her for that. Her characters are cute and you can't wait to see what happens next.

So corny and predictable.

This book made me want to cringe. The characters were not likeable at all. Very Sophomoric. Spare yourself the time.
