5 stars! 
 Review at Of Pens and Pages. 
 You know it's a 5-star read when you find yourself smiling stupidly after finishing the book. But when you find yourself singing and dancing like you're in your own Disney musical number? That's a favorite. This was my first Lauren Layne book, and you can bet your a** I'm going on a binge read this weekend! This opposites attract, slow burn rom-com had me hooked from start to finish! 
 Despite the high temps of that swampy July morning, the encounter had been the start of an epic cold war. Me, the socialite in apartment 86A against the uptight esquire in apartment 79B. I'm not entirely sure I'm winning the war, but I'll never tell him..." 
 While the rest of socialite Georgiana Watkins' easy-going life has turned bland and lackluster, her daily 5 am run-in with her uptight neighbor Andrew Mulroney, Esquire never fails to lighten up her day. She's generally well-liked by everyone except the celebrity divorce lawyer which makes it more fun to tease and rile him up. 
 Top divorce lawyer Andrew Mulroney has no time for spoiled rich girls who go home at 5 am after a night of partying, but between you and me, he secrently enjoys sparring with Georgiana. When one of their arguments that end in a mind-blowing kiss gets caught on camera, he joins the world in wondering if what he and Georgiana have is more than that one kiss. 
 I'm going to kill you." 
 I can't help the laugh. "See, I don't think so." 
 "Don't you?" 
 "Nope," I say, sucking sugar off my thumb. "You don't send flowers to someone you're going to kill." 
 There's just something about stiff, grumpy men falling in love and turning into the sweetest teddy bears that tickle my fancy (among other things). Andrew is a genius, skipping grades and graduating earlier than most people his age. Because of that, he's had a hard time making friends and interacting with other people. He stumbles and falls a few times when it comes to wooing and flirting with Georgiana, but what I love about him is he tries really hard to be better. He uses his head more than his heart, so it was difficult for him to trust the heart when it was finally the one steering the ship. 
 I was a bit weary when I first read about Georgie. She seemed like the typical socialite who spends her days shopping, partying, and eating brunch. That's what Andrew first saw when he met her. But her sunny personality is hard not to like, and I found myself enjoying Georgie very much! She's optimistic and is a total romantic who enjoys Enchanted and all things that end in a happily ever after. A little sheltered, but she has a kind heart and a fun disposition that lures in anybody. 
 This well-written book made me laugh, cry, fan myself, and swoon. I loved Georgie and Andrew's verbal sparring/foreplay, the sexual tension sizzling throughout the story, and the sex. My gawd. A freak in the sheets (and every surface possible), that Andrew! 
 Walk of Shame is a standalone rom-com told in alternating POVs. Romance readers and fans of The Hating Game will enjoy this light and fun read filled with witty banter, fantastic build up, sexual tension, and a happily ever after. 
 And if any of you are curious, I sang and danced to Barcelona by Ed Sheeran!
