A review by mkdupre
The Honey-Don't List by Christina Lauren
3.0
This tight little contemporary romance may not be breaking a lot of molds--though there are nods to more progressive thinking in the form of a same-sex couple and a romantic lead with a minor disability--but it was worth the two days it took to read. This sweet tale of a young creative being exploited by her HGTV-style megastar boss gives off major The Devil Wears Prada vibes, and in the best way. Carey Duncan has been working for the same people since she was sixteen, taking over more and more responsibilities for the home renovation empire that they have built together. When marital crisis threatens the livelihood of the brand and everyone who works for it, Carey must team up with the handsome, uptight James to handle the dynamic duo and save their careers. The nice thing about this novel when compared to other romances is that each lover is desperately in need of rescuing, and come to the rescue of each other with laudible aplomb. I think those crazy kids might just make it work in the long run--and the scorchingly hot sex scenes don't hurt to read either! Readers who love light romances will enjoy this fun and slightly sardonic romp through the sordid world of modern home improvement and design.
