Very cute, sweet story about two very opposite characters. Andrew is stuffy, particular and guarded-Georgie is extremely extroverted and earnest.. Both have a lot of preconceived ideas about the other (somewhat grounded in truth) but what draws the reader in, is in the way they both learn to grow to love and appreciate the other--flaws and all.
"That sort of pursuit of joy was what Georgina Watkins did every day. He'd been wrong. She wasn't blindly waiting for some fairy tale, she was just smart enough to believe she deserved it."

There is a twist to the story which keeps the plot moving beyond the romance, but it didn't detract and actually added a dimension to their relationship.

All in all, a quick, engaging read that had me grinning.

"This was one read you will have to read yourself to understand the fun, hysterics, cheeky, sexy, tempting and more. I have so much fun with this one. Now, I have this one as my favorite in the series. I was not expecting a whole lot of sparks for a socialite and her slowly fading desire to party and have fun, but this one was one I am very happy that I did not miss. The banter early in the morning was something to look forward to. The princes and the worker was just what I needed to slide my day in to gear.

I think they had their own ways of balancing each other out. They had a way to make the other understand work and party. I loved the banter. The interaction. I found that I had so much fun with these two. They are a riot together. Andrew and Georgie blow all the other character from this series out the water. They had it all and then some. The early morning encounters. The sexually charged banter. That electric kiss that went everywhere.

This one is the best of the series. This most certainly was Lauren at her best. I laughed so much. I have snark on super charge. It was full of it all banter, passion, chemistry, humor, sexy hot male, sassy sexy female. This was one heiress that you will be happy that you read about her. This was not the typical spoiled little princess. She had more to her than anyone took the time to get to know. Well except Andrew. But that was not all by choice. More so circumstances. But it all worked out for them in the end. "

Each subsequent book by Lauren Layne is better than the last. This is especially true of Walk of Shame. The pages fly by. At the start of the book, Andrew and Georgie love to hate each other. Their relationship develops gradually from that stage, to liking each other. Their conversations, however, are fraught with misunderstandings. In other words, they don't know where they stand with each other. This is no different than many romances, but in this book it is witty, charming, and very entertaining. Of course, it ends with HEA, but rarely is an ending as entertaining as it is expected. I definitely recommend this book!

WALK OF SHAME is the fourth installment in Lauren Layne’s contemporary, adult LOVE UNEXPECTEDLY romance series. This is high powered, divorce attorney Andrew Mulroney, and heiress Georgianna Watkins’s story line. WALK OF SHAME can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty.

Told from first person point of view (Georgianna), and third person perspective (Andrew) WALK OF SHAME follows the building relationship between divorce attorney Andrew Mulroney, and heiress Georgianna Watkins. Georgianna is a party girl but the late nights (early mornings) are starting to catch up with our heroine so much so that Georgie schedules her arrival at home at the same time her ‘surly’ neighbor Andrew Mulroney leaves for the gym. Their tempestuous back and forth/ sexually charged banter pushes all of Andrew’s buttons until the day Andrew crosses a line with his snark and rude comments. From a hot, steamy kiss to nursing one another back to health following a raging case of the flu, Andrew and Georgie will face the future until the future comes crashing down.

Andrew Mulroney is a genius; a stuffed shirt who struggles with his attraction to the vibrant and vivacious, over the top tabloid princess Georgianna Watkins. Believing our heroine is nothing more than a spoiled heiress Andrew tries to keep his distance but Georgie is determined to prove that they belong with one another. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense without the use of sexually graphic, over the top language and text.

The world building focuses on the building relationship between Andrew and Georgia, and Andrew’s struggle to let Georgie into his life. Andrew’s famous self control and cold exterior hide a heart and soul that has difficulty letting go or falling in love. But Andrew keeps secret some information that if revealed will destroy Georgie’s life, and in the end will destroy his relationship with the woman with whom he is falling in love.

WALK OF SHAME is a sweet storyline with a heroine whose witty banter and endearing charm will make you smile, and pull you in to a tale about two people whose lives will collide in more ways than one. The premise is entertaining and lighthearted; the romance is captivating and sensual; the characters are passionate and inspiring. WALK OF SHAME is delightful read with a playful heroine, and a hero who struggles between head and heart.

Just like all of the other books by this author, I loved this story. Always written with wit and grace. I recommend every book by Lauren Layne to my friends

Really sweet enemies to lovers romance. I loved the banter between Georgie and Andrew. Opposites attract and a good amount of steam - I really enjoyed this one!

I don't know what went wrong for me here, I liked this book, it was a good solid story with interesting characters that had more to them that met the eye. I really tried to love it more, but something was missing for me.

Georgie is a Manhattan socialite, she comes from money and other than the odd bit of charity work, she doesn't do much else except party all night and lunch with her friends. She sounds really dull, but quite surprisingly she was very likeable and had a good sense of humour.

Andrew is one of New York's best divorce attorney's and he was as moody as they come, his encounters with Georgie when he was going out as she was coming in at 5 am, were funny and full of all that love/hate sexual tension I love.

There was lots of back and forth banter, and I did enjoy their gradual progression from enemies to lovers, it was really sweet, and pretty hot when push came to shove.

Overall, it was a likeable story, and would definitely recommend to LL fans and lovers of love/hate banter.

Fun, witty, and great writing! Loved this from start to finish. Ms. Layne nailed it with the perfect blend of bringing out all the character personalities and quirks without over doing it. Story line and character kept you engaged and wanting to read more- so much that I found myself finishing the book and realizing that my "I'll just read a bit before bed" became "I just finished the whole book and will hate getting up in a few hours". Great book for range of ages. Look forward to more!

Every time I think Lauren Layne has published my favorite book, I always end up proving myself wrong. I adored these characters. They were funnny and kept me laughing through the whole book.

Walk of Shame (Love Unexpectedly) by Lauren Layne
This is heiress Georgianna "Georgie" Watkins and celebrity divorce attorney Andrew Mulroney's story.

This was a really fun and entertaining story! Georgie and Andrew are opposites but they are perfect for each other. I loved the banter and chemistry between them.

I loved this story! I was hooked from the beginning to end. The sex scenes were minimal but the ones it did have were really hot and steamy! This is a must read! So, kick back and escape into Georgie and Andrew's world.

FYI, contains mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I can't recall enjoying a main character in a book as much as I did Georgie. This was one of those books I read slowly to draw it out because I didn't want to lose her company. She was not just delightful, but also authentic and real.
It is unfortunately rare to find a well drawn female character who is wealthy and well educated but not mean, bitchy and shallow. - or at least oblivious to people around her who are not in her social circle. Georgie was not perfect, but even her flaws were sort of heartwarming.
Andrew was also an engaging character, and the author took care to explain the roots of his personality style. Despite that, I never felt we got to know him as well as Georgie.
The plot of this tale wasn't especially unique or fresh, an attraction between two seemeingly opposite people and overcoming the obstacles created by their differences. But I have honestly never read a story that tells it in such a charming and engrossing way.

Another great title by Lauren Layne. Georgie and Andrew are fun, flirty and fantastic in this latest book. I didn't want to put this read down.

This was such a fun, feel-good read. It locked me in and kept me addicted to the two main characters. WALK OF SHAME had an office-feel, even though it wasn't really set in an office, mainly due to one of the MCs Andrew. Uptight, proper and lacking in understanding of the word fun is what describes Andrew, but he's a top divorce attorney and work is his life. Living across from Georgie seems to be one of the biggest challenges of his day. I started off thinking Georgie was vapid and annoying but she was actually very sweet, innocuous and kind, if a little lacking in life goals. These two are not a match but they sure had something. A delicious frenemies ensues.

"If you're wondering what Andrew Mulroney looks like while he's in workout mode, picture this: Thor and Captain America somehow defeat biology and have a love child together. And call him Andrew."

There's nothing simple about bringing the differences of Andrew and Georgie together but it made hilarious reading, with a slice of adorable. I really did love these two together, their bantering conversation was great to read. This wasn't a deep book, with depth of emotion and connection but it was such vicarious fun to ride the train with them.

This was my first book by Lauren Layne and I now want to read everything by her. If she can create Andrew, I have high hopes for who else I'll find in her back catalogue.

A copy of this book was provided by the publisher through netgalley in return for a honest review.

Walk of Shame
Lauren Layne
5 "Ridiculously Perfect" Stars
Oh my! Such a sweet and sassy romantic story.

Pampered heiress Georgianna Watkins has a party-girl image to maintain, but all the shopping and clubbing is starting to feel a little bit hollow—and a whole lot lonely. Though Georgie would never admit it, the highlights of her week are the mornings when she comes home at the same time as her uptight, workaholic neighbor is leaving to hit the gym and put in a long day at the office. Teasing him is the most fun Georgie’s had in years—and the fuel for all her naughtiest daydreams.

Celebrity divorce attorney Andrew Mulroney doesn’t have much time for women, especially spoiled tabloid princesses who spend more time on Page Six than at an actual job. Although Georgie’s drop-dead gorgeous, she’s also everything Andrew resents: the type of girl who inherited her penthouse instead of earning it. But after Andrew caps one of their predawn sparring sessions with a surprise kiss—a kiss that’s caught on camera—all of Manhattan is gossiping about whether they’re a real couple. And nobody’s more surprised than Andrew to find that the answer just might be yes.

I absolutely loved this one. The sassy and sarcastic banter between Georgie and Andrew was hilarious!

Okay this is definitely my fav Lauren Layne book so far!

If your ready to become addicted, grab your copy now and start reading. You won't be able to put it down once you begin.

Thanks NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

3.5 stars

This was fun and lighthearted but my least favorite of the series so far. And if I can say that and still rate it 3.5 stars that should show just how good these have been.

WALK OF SHAME is just the right blend of everything I love in a book. It is a delightfully funny, feel good story. It has great writing, witty dialogue, memorable characters and the story immediately drew me and I never wanted it to end.

Georgiana (Georgie) Wilkins is a socialite. She doesn't work, she just enjoys life. She stays out all night and sleeps during the day. She spends her time shopping, having her hair done, working on charity events and going to clubs with her friends. She is fun loving, has a bubbly personality and she gets along with everyone. She is the exact opposite of Andrew Mulroney. Andrew is an uptight attorney who lives in the same upscale building as Georgie. Every morning they pass each other as Andrew is leaving for work and Georgie is coming home from another fun night on the town.

Andrew is the most famous divorce attorney in the city. He is also a workaholic and follows a rigorous schedule. He sneers at Georgie's frivolous lifestyle and Georgie loves to say things to get under Andrew’s skin. It is highly entertaining as they lobby snarky remarks as they pass each other every morning.

Andrew thinks Georgie is self indulgent and useless yet, he can't help but notice how attractive she is. There is a lot of sexual tension and verbal foreplay between Andrew and Georgie and they are confused by what they are feeling. Andrew is super smart, formal and hard working. He is the total opposite of Georgie’s friendly, relaxed demeanor. Andrew has never met anyone like Georgie and isn't sure how to act around her or what to say. Even though they are the exact opposite, they are good for each other. Georgie helps Andrew loosen up and Andrew helps Georgie take life more seriously. It is fun watching these two together and I also enjoyed the entertaining secondary characters. Perfection!

This was a little treat that I enjoyed more than expected. I really liked the banter between the two complete opposites, and how they were sometimes uncharacteristically there for each other at times when before they realized what/that they were doing so. And of course, how they slowly fell for each other in ways they didn't expect.
