Review of Match Point book 3 in the Lauren Holbrook series by Erynn Mangum.
Description:
Now that she's successfully matched four couples, Lauren Holbrook is wondering if she'll always be the bridesmaid and never the . . . or will she finally admit that she and Ryan are more than "good friends?" But handsome Keller Stone may try to convince her otherwise. A riotous, romantic conclusion to Mangum's caffeine-laced series!
My Review:
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book! I LOVE this series and love Lauren Holbrook. Of course now that I've finished the last book in the series I'm going to have to go into mouring because I'm going to miss Laurie-girl. Regardless, if you like to laugh, like romance, like fantastic dialogue--you've got to read this series!
Book three was full of all the crazy antics that delighted me in the first two books. Laurie is still crazy for coffee and chocolate and will do anything to get her hands on her supply. She even names her coffee maker that she hides in her bathroom after her dad and stepmom go on a crazy "get healthy" kick and switch to a soy coffee substitue that threatens to kill Lauren (or so she thinks). Now Laurie is trying to figure out if she's in love with Ryan. She gets lots of advice from friends and family, but she is longing for the "voice from God" kind of assurance.
Along the way to trying to discover what the future holds for her and Ryan, Laurie has a wonderful and wacky series of adventures that includes a surprise girlfriend shopping trip, friends setting her up to "fall into Ryan's arms," a fake break-up, and the realization that romance in real-life is not always like it is in a Jane Austen movie.
Totally fun book! Mangum has a wonderful way with dialogue and humor that shines through the character of Laurie and makes you love her like crazy!
