Series Overview
Redemption
This series is New Adult—the characters are much younger than my other series, so these have a slightly more youthful and angsty tone.
Behind the Series
This actually wasn’t initially meant to be a series. I wrote the first book (Isn’t’ She Lovely) as a standalone. It was really successful, and I was also dying to tell the story of the other main characters from the book, so we extended it to a three book series.
Each is based off of a fairy tale or classic story.
Isn’t She Lovely — Pygmalion
Broken — Beauty & the Beast
Crushed — The Ugly Duckling
These feature characters right out of high school and/or in college. Since my husband and I were high school sweethearts and dated all through college, I really relished in revisiting some of the emotions and particulars of that wonderful stage of life.
Quick Facts
These books are written in first person.
They’re spicy, the second book especially.
They vary quite a bit in tone. Broken is very emotionally intense. Crushed is very playful and funny. Isn’t She Lovely is mostly flirty and fun, but touches on some darker themes.
“Lauren Layne seriously knows how to balance the sexy with the heart-wrenching plots.”
