![]() ![]() Layne has proven herself capable of writing fun romances that leave me feeling at least a little warm and fuzzy by the time I reach the last page, so I was eagerly anticipating her new series starter Passion on Park Avenue. I only read my first Lauren Layne title last year (with strong urging from my friend Rachel), and proceeded to devour a couple more books in the same ‘series’ in the months that followed. (Though, I will say, the epilogues to both this novel and The Hating Game are pretty cute.) ![]() 99 Percent Mine might have been promising at the start, but it ended up disappointing me by the end. ![]() It just felt like something was missing to invite my emotional investment in Tom and Darcy getting together, and the romance ultimately fell flat for me. Even though there are things that I did like, what ultimately proved to be the downfall of this story was the fact that I didn’t particularly care about the outcome of the romance. I read it in just about one sitting, enjoyed the renovation bits, found some amusement in the banter between the main couple and genuinely thought Tom was a great guy. Ultimately though, I was not a fan of this book. It’s the entire reason I decided to give this one a shot, even though I didn’t necessarily love The Hating Game as much as everyone seems to. 99 Percent Mine has one of my favorite romance tropes: a girl in love with her brother’s best friend. ![]()
