Review: Huge Deal by Lauren Layne
This is the third book in this series. This one follows a wall street dude and his long time assistant. She has been in love with him for forever, he is oblivious until he starts to realize she might be moving on to other men.
This is my favorite of the three. I think the relationship was actually compelling and I was very invested in the couple. I again didn't like the end, this author relies too much on the grand gesture, but I liked their relationship until that moment. Except their is a moment where Kennedy realized that Kate is being underpaid and then just does nothing about that despite the implication that he could. This series is so weird about money.
I did think this book was still pretty conservative in its underpinnings. This book has a gay side character and occasionally has some other surface level engagement that would imply a more progressive world view, but it is not enough to combat the overall tone. This book the extra shitty in the food area, and I hate the way family relationships were written. But I do now know that Lauren Layne is very much not for me!
I gave this book three stars.
