Someone Like You continues Lauren Layne's Oxford series and we readers finally get the scoop on eligible bachelor / playboy Lincoln Mathis. See, it's been apparent to this reader that there's more to Lincoln's story than meets the eye for quite sometime now, and I've been eagerly awaiting the day when we would finally get the full picture. 
 Turns out, without being too spoilery, things in Lincoln's past have left him damaged. These are things he's kept close to his heart, not even revealing them to his closest friends. Then, surprisingly Lincoln finds a somewhat confidant in Emma's twin sister Daisy (for those unfamiliar, Emma is a character from the spin-off / crossover Stiletto Series). 
 Turns out Daisy is just as damaged as Lincoln, albeit for different circumstances. Their easy way with each other eases them into the process of healing. Yet their blatant attraction to each other reminds both of them that the healing process takes time. 
 I can honestly say, with the anticipation I felt for Lincoln's story, I was 100% satisfied with how everything played out. I think Lauren Layne's pacing was spot on. Since readers are just learning about Lincoln's past, it was essential that nothing felt too rushed because we, like Lincoln, were still coming to terms with moving on, moving past everything. But the story has some great build up as Lincoln and Daisy dance around each other for months. Will they / won't they? 
 I also loved the connection between Daisy and Lincoln, not just the sexual chemistry, but the acknowledgement that they are both people who, essentially, need to heal. They recognize something in each other that makes them open up in ways that they can't to those closest to them. 
 But that's not to say that Someone Like You doesn't show the love and support that Daisy and Lincoln have from their friends and family, because it certainly does. I thought the family dynamic was great between the men of Oxford and the women of Stiletto and their significant others. I think the family unit that all these people / couples have forms is more prevalent here than in any of the past books which could signify an end to the series, and Someone Like You does kind of read like a final send off...until we're introduced to two new characters who with just a few lines of dialogue between them made me want their story now! 
 So while we have more to look forward to in the offices of Oxford, I'm happy that Lincoln's story got the wrap up it so justly deserved.
