Georgie Watkins is as sweet as the donuts she provides the morning security crew in her upscale apartment building. She’s fun and loving, and everyone she meets just seem to love her. Well, MAYBE not everyone.
Andrew Mulroney is disciplined, smart, and not very tolerable. A former child genius, he knows what it feels like to be the odd-man out, and he’s just fine without a entourage of friends. He runs a tight schedule in his work and personal lives; no matter how much she tries, he refuses to let Georgie get under his skin with her irresistible charm.
At least that was the plan.
Some plans work out…others, not so much so.
Frenemies from the moment they meet, neither can resist tugging at the other’s strings. Georgie knows how to get Andrew’s attention, and eventually, she wants to keep it. A high profile lawyer for the rich and famous, he’s careful about the company he keeps, but Georgie is not one to be ignored. Their encounters are just as regular as Andrew’s schedule, and each one made me smile and/or laugh out loud. Just their verbal exchanges had me hooked, and there wasn’t one character that didn’t charm me. I was immediately pulled into their world. I clung on to every word, and embraced every scene. On the surface Georgie is the typical socialite. She spends her days shopping and her nights partying. But underneath all that perceived bubble-headedness is a beautiful, warm-hearted, caring, loyal person. Andrew is truly her opposite. He has a hard, tough, seemingly arrogant personality; but it’s not who he truly is. He just has problems expressing himself, something he learns full-on dealing with Georgie.
I absolutely love these two!
The plot is fresh, the flow is smooth, and the pace is perfect; so if you think for one moment that I’m going to suggest for you to NOT read this book, then “you are ridiculous.”
You should definitely grab and copy and clear your schedule. “That’s how you’ll know” that Layne is one of your new favorite authors.

Walk of Shame was my first experience reading Lauren Layne. I’ve seen her books around a lot and was familiar with her name, but for some reason there just was never a book that really jumped out at me. When a friend of mine, who just might be more opinionated than I am, gave this book a glowing review, I couldn’t resist. The cover is adorable and enemies-to-lovers is one of my all time favorite tropes. I was not disappointed.

Layne’s writing is excellent. She pulled me in right from the beginning. It flowed well, making it an easy read. It’s one of those books that you sit down for a few minutes to read and before you know it you’ve read a hundred pages.

Everything about this book worked for me – except the characters. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a touch, that’s not exactly true. I never felt like I truly connected with Georgie’s character. She’s this spoiled rich socialite who, by all appearances, parties every night until 5 AM and when she gets bored, she might chair a committee for a charity. The lack of drive to do something with her life was kind of annoying for me. I didn’t feel like her character went through any real growth.

In the case of Andrew, it’s kind of the same story. Except opposite. Same in the way that I didn’t really connect with him, but opposite in every single personality trait. He’s unflinchingly stringent in his routines. Georgie eats donuts on the daily and he won’t stray from his boring protein shake on the way to the gym. He’s a serious, hardworking lawyer and relatively boring. Uptight is a great word to describe him. I loved that they were polar opposites, I think that can really serve to heighten the tension, but he never really loosened up the way I wanted him to and Georgie never really grew up the way I wanted her to. Though, it must be said, I’ll give Andrew a little credit. He had some minor character growth. He could’ve done better though.

But, having said all of that, I really couldn’t put this book down. It was fantastic. The tension was great and I ate up the verbal sparring. Good banter is one of my very favorite things in a book. It was certainly entertaining. I recommend this one when you’re in the mood for something funny, sweet, and easygoing. Great rom-com for everyone.

I think Walk of Shame has become my favorite LL read! I loved every minute of Georgie and Andrew's time together and I looked forward to their 5 am meet ups just as much as they did!

The sexual tension and flirty dialogue between Andrew and Georgie had me smiling from page one and I just didn't want to put the book down. No two people were more perfect for each other, despite being total opposites. From the moment you meet both Andrew and Georgie you are rooting for their HEA! And who can resist a girl who loves Enchanted as much as Georgie does! I had a humongous smile on my face the entire time I was reading. Andrew is brooding and handsome and you see the humor in his smirks and looks at and with Georgie. Georgie is independent and sweet and sarcastically fun, pushing all the right buttons to just get a little under Andrew's skin.

Such a fun read! This will definitely be a re-read for me on those days I need some sweet romance with a tinge of sarcastic fun.

This is another great read by Lauren Layne. Mater of fact it was "ridiculously" good!! I love the way that Lauren Layne writes as if we are in the head of her characters. You feel like you can sense what they are going to say or do and the writing is just great! These characters are very well developed, even though Georgie hasn't grown out of her partying stage. I loved all the characters in this story and felt that they all had their own piece of the puzzle to fit in.

We meet Georgie and quickly find out that she is a bit spoiled. Her grandmother has left her a large inheritance and so all Georgie does is party all night and sleep all day. Since Georgie has gotten into this habit, she has been coming into her apartment building in the early morning times and happens to always run into Andrew, another tenant in the building. Georgie and Andrew exchange some banter each day, but Georgie is not interested in anything having to do with Andrew because he is a lawyer and carries and air about him. Georgia is the type of person that everyone loves and she can not figure out what in the world is wrong when she can't even get Andrew to crack a smile.

Andrew has always been above his peers and even skipped grades in school, this made it harder on him though than one might have guessed. Not all the older kids wanted a younger one hanging around with them so that made it hard for Andrew to fit in anywhere. Andrew is a divorce lawyer and has made partner in his firm at a really young age. Andrew focuses on his working out and his work so that keeps him busy. When Andrew and Georgie start having more and more chance encounters in the early morning hours, Andrew wonders if they are really chance or are they planned? He doesn't want to say anything to Georgie about it because he rather likes the meetings. He is just not sure how to handle her sometimes. Georgie can be a little spit fire and always has something to say back to him.

One day Andrew doesn't show up at his normal time and Georgie thinks he is just trying to ignore her, when the next day rolls around and no Andrew again, Georgie knows that something has to be going on so she decides to go to Andrews apartment and check on him. Come to find out he has the flu so Georgie decides to take care of Andrew and fixes him homemade chicken noodle soup. After a few days Andrew starts to feel better and then guess what?? Georgie comes down with the flu, so it is Andrews turn to take care of her. The two of them begin to grow closer and closer to each other and eventually one thing leads to another. Feeling come out for each other and things happen between the two of them.

When Andrew knows a secret that Georgie doesn't know, will that put an end to their relationship or will they find a way to their HEA despite this hurdle for them? You have to read to find out. This is a book that you will not want to put down until you are finished and have learned what becomes of Andrew and Georgie. Such a great read for sure!

Upon reading the books from the Oxford Series, I was looking forward to the new book from this author. This did not disappoint. If you are looking for a fun, witty, clever read, this is your story.

Georgie and Andrew get off on the wrong foot beginning with their first meeting. The day each moved into their apartments in the same building. Andrew felt Georgie was spoiled and entitled while Georgie thought he was uptight (and other choice words). She decides to "poke-the-bear" and meet him at 5:00am each morning, where this party girl is coming home and Andrew, the serious divorce attorney, is leaving. There is clearly a bantor that the two exchange that starts off as sarcastic and rude. But each give as much as they get which helps with the flow of the story.

Their paths cross again in the story and they soon learn that they are attracted to one another. However, both come from different worlds and each wonder if they are enough for the other. This is what I love about this author. She takes her time to unfold a beautiful relationship and gives a voice to the main characters to where you are rooting for them. I am looking forward to the next installment.

3.5 stars - I'm pretty sure I've read everything Lauren Layne has ever published. I’m a forever fan, the girl is just that good. I enjoyed Walk of Shame, but I didn't fall in love.

The hero, Andrew, especially, pulled on my heart strings. He's super smart, still a bit socially awkward, but smoking hot -- what's not to like. The heroine, Georgina, made me want to like her, but I never got quite there. She’s a socialite. There were a lot of brand names thrown around. I get that Layne did this to make Georgina’s level of wealth and style tangible, but it was too name droopy for me and felt shallow. Georgina’s a pro on the fundraiser/cause circuit, but seems unfulfilled which made me feel like she was less than she should be.

The story was paced well, that is, until I got to the last 2%, when something major happened, hastily. The epilogue fast-forwards to one year later. If you're not hoping for an ending where EVERYBODY lives happily ever after, the epilogue will likely feel hyper unrealistic.

All things considered, it’s a Lauren Layne read — plenty of cool characters, a solid plot and top notch writing are a given. This isn’t my favorite of your work, but if you love, love, you’ll likely love this.

I received an ARC of this book, via Net Galley, in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Sweet, sexy, steamy, funny read! Excellent rom-com with fun characters and just the right amount of angst and steam. Fast read -- didn't want it to end!

Another great book from Lauren Layne! I enjoy reading this story a lot. I laugh and cry with Georgiana (me too prefer her full name) and Andrew. Their cold war is amazing and the end is the best for all.
I recommend this book to everyone.
I received an ARC from Netgalley for a honest review. Thanks for the opportunity.

I don't think its even a surprise that I loved this book.Any book of LL's is an autobuy and instant favorite for me!
Georgie in this book was quite different from the usual heroines.In real life we might find women like these vapid,but the way the author has characterised her is so beautiful,you can't help but fall in love with her!She is a socialite and a heiress, but you can only party all day for so long before you start to feel empty.So she is a bit confused.And it doesn't help that the Andrew, the hot shot lawyer who stays in her building keeps looking at her as if he is judging her choices.

Andrew is the complete opposite of her.He gets up to go out when she comes home after partying in the morning.He is successful and looks like he has it all figured out.And the only thing they have in common is the hilarious,sarcastic arguments that they have with each other.Both of them look forward to the five minutes of trade of coated insults and barbs,but neither would ever admit it.

The way the relationship develops between them oh so slowly was really good!No matter where they were in their lives, both of them were missing something.Though they weren't ready for it or like Andrew-determined not to believe it, they still needed love.And I was so happy that they found it in each other!Though on the surface its funny,cute and romantic, this book did leave me thinking for a while as it touched me emotionally, just as LL's books always do!

Now I will have an LL book craving and looks like I'll have to wait till June for I Knew You Were Trouble!

Lauren Layne has once again delivered an amazing story that will make you laugh, melt your heart, break your heart, and then piece everything back together. It didn't take long for me to fall head over heels in love with the characters in this book. It all felt a bit fairytale like in the sense that I wanted so badly for the happily ever after to come and nobody to have been hurt, but of course there is always a little (or a lot) of heartbreak.

Andrew and Georgie meet nearly every morning. Neither really fond of the other, or at least that's what they think. There is a fine line between love and hate, and when these two figure out what side of the line they are on the pages instantly heat up. One secret stand to destroy everything. I was so invested in the story that at one point I wished I could climb through the pages and knock some sense into the characters.

Overall Walk of Shame was nothing short of what we have come to expect from Layne, what it was, was so much more. Even though there is enough heartache, this is one of those feel good, make you love love, kind of books. I will definitely be reading it again.

There are truly not enough adjectives to describe this book! Funny, sweet, sexy, touching, enchanting, colorful, frustrating, brilliant...I obviously could go on and on. The ultimate opposites attract couple; her the friendly, bubbly party girl versus him, the stoic, serious, stodgy divorce lawyer. Truly nothing in common on the surface but you root for them from page one.
I laughed, I wanted to punch them both, I cried, I wanted to hit Andrew, I wanted to shake Georgie...and I could Not. Put. It. Down. Not only is this my very favorite Lauren Layne book now (and that's saying something...sorry Lincoln!) but it's the best book I've read all year! This will be one of those stories that I read again and again...and again. Loved it :)

If you ever wondered what the young and beautiful look like, act like, or what their lives are like, I would suggest a Lauren Layne book. In Walk of Shame, Love Unexpectedly series, Georgianna Watkins and Andrew Mulroney collide with meteoric sparks! They are from two different worlds but are so perfect for one another. And WoS is a story about how they come together.

Georgie is an heiress who does that “walk of shame” every morning, right at the time that Andrew is starting his busy day. Andrew is a celebrity divorce attorney, one who works so very hard, has a genius IQ, and is from a working class family. These two literally spark, each and every time they meet.

Each has pre-conceived notions about the other, of course, and it isn’t until they let down their individual guarded walls that they can begin to explore the chemistry between them. I really liked these two. They both have hidden depths that they don’t seem to share with anyone, least of all each other. Georgie’s family is what you’d think they should be but I have a soft spot for her father. And Andrew has great love for his family – he just has trouble expressing that emotion. There are the requisite flighty friends, of course, but these two are just wonderful characters. I think the author nailed this story.

Loved this Sexy, Adorable, Charming and Fun Contemporary Romance. I always love the truly amazing ways that Lauren Layne tells a story and I think that this is her best story yet. When I started reading this I was completely engrossed in it. It was fresh, engaging, sexy, and fun. They are such great characters that I wanted to be friends and hang out with them. She is truly a fantastic story teller.
Georgianna Watkins was full of personality and charm. Teasing Andrew Mulroney Esquire is the highlight of her day and fuels her daydreams. Andrew Mulroney Esquire thinks Georgianna is ridiculous! He doesn't have time for women, but when he meets Georgie he is taken by the beautiful, sexy, party girl and just can't stay away from her.
The verbal sparing fly between these characters and explodes into electric chemistry that is sizzling. It was fun, playful and I could feel the want and need between the two. There were so many funny parts in this, I burst out laughing at times. There was a great balance of entertaining, sexy and emotions throughout.
Fantastic writing, story, characters, build and pace. All the feelings and connections pouring through me made my heart feel full and happy and it had me smiling, laughing, melting and swooning with every turn of the page.
Walk of Shame is an absolute delight and I can't wait for the next book from this fantastic author.

Talk about complete opposites! She's just walked in the door from partying all night when he's walking out the door to go to the gym before work. He's a super intelligent cynical divorce attorney & thinks she's an empty headed society party girl. They shouldn't be interested in each other at all, right?! So why do they both look forward to their encounters?

I loved this! Andrew acts like he looks down on Georgie when she shakes him up to the point he doesn't know how to talk to her! And that kiss!! Instant intense chemistry! I love that Georgie is strong & capable & gives it back as fast as Andrew can deliver it. The characters were wonderfully written with good & bad traits. The supporting characters added dimension to the story & underscored the differences between our couple. You won't want to miss this one!

I am a huge LL fan and love enemies to lovers stories so I couldn't wait for this book to be released.

Georgie is a socialite who parties all night but makes sure she's back in her building's lobby by 5 am to run into her stuffy neighbor, Andrew, just to get under his skin. Andrew is a divorce attorney who lives a super structured life but makes sure he's in his building's lobby by 5 am to run into his ridiculous neighbor, Georgianna, just to get under her skin. Georgie and Andrew are opposites in almost every way but their chemistry is off the charts and the banter they have is hilarious. A secret threatens to end their tenuous relationship before it even starts.

The only thing that I didn't like about this book was that while it's dual POV, Georgie's POV is in first person and Andrew's is in third person. It didn't, in any way, take away from the story but it did throw me off when the POV changed. Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down. I loved the banter, Georgie's personality, and Andrew's commitment to his work and family. I never wanted their story end!

~5 + Stars~

Walk of Shame is an absolutely perfect romantic comedy! It has a storyline and characters that will truly warm your heart! Georgie Watkins and Andrew Mulroney are complete opposites from one another. Their first meeting is a testament to that. You would think that they would avoid each other like the plague, but Georgie finds herself getting up at the crack of dawn to see Andrew each morning in the lobby of their apartment building. Andrew finds himself looking forward these encounters. With each one, I could tell there was something magic there, hidden under the sarcasm and cutting remarks. What begins as harmless encounters develops into a romance that I won’t soon forget.

I can always count on Lauren Layne to come up with characters full of personality and quirkiness. Georgie is no exception. She comes across as a socialite who makes a living doing nothing except spending her family’s fortune. WOW, was I in for a shocker. She’s full of life and brings color and joy to those around her…yes, even the straight-laced Andrew. I love how she gets to know each person she comes into contact with, whether it’s the doorman of her apartment building or Andrew’s assistant. What’s not to love about Georgie?

Andrew is completely opposite of Georgie. He’s super intelligent, not that Georgie isn’t. He’s just crazy smart…graduating from college and law school early and becoming the youngest partner in his law firm. He’s a successful divorce attorney with high-powered clients, yet he doesn’t really have much in the social skills department, especially with women. When Georgie comes roaring into his life, all that will change. She brings out some of his best qualities, ones he didn’t even know he had.

The relationship between the two is a slow burn, but oh is it a good one! Sometimes the anticipation is as good as the deed itself, in this romance, it definitely is. Their chemistry is undeniable, and their sarcastic banter just adds to it.

Walk of Shame is one of those books I can see on the big screen as a blockbuster romantic comedy. It reminds me of You’ve Got Mail which is one of my all-time favorite movies. I can always count on Lauren Layne to give me a book that takes me away from reality for just a little bit. If you want a book that is the perfect mixture of sexy and sweet, sprinkled with humor and characters that will find a special place in your heart, you have to give Lauren Layne a try. Once you read one of her books, you’ll be hooked for life.

***READ AND REVIEWED FOR DEVILISHLY DELICIOUS BOOK REVIEWS***

This book was just awful... I've never met an immature brat worst than Georgie seriously waste of my time
