Some Details
Vibe
Like many of my books, this one’s set in Manhattan, but it’s a little less glam. More real people
Heat Level
This is a steamy romance novel with explicit sex scenes and spicy language.
POV
First person, heroine only.
Tone
sexy, modern. Slow-burn, but when it burns it burns hot!
Author Note
Sometimes there are books I never mean to write, and then all of a sudden I look up one day and I’ve typed The End on a love story I barely even remember having the idea for.
You, Again has always felt a bit different for me. It doesn’t skew sweet and chaste like some of my favorite standalones, but it also doesn’t quite channel the suit-wearing / high heeled glamour of my other NYC books.
Instead it’s something ever so slightly more real. Not quite gritty, just grounded and steamy, and heartfelt.
I love that Mac and Thomas genuinely aren’t into each other at first … but sometimes the universe just knows better than us.
“Classic Lauren Layne . . . the story just flew, pulled me in and had me reading the whole book in one sitting. I honestly think that You, Again is one of the best works of Lauren Layne.”

A Little Excerpt
If Thomas has it his way, we’ll probably all end up at a lacrosse or polo tournament with Scotch for the men and white wine spritzers for the ladies.
Something tells me Thomas Decker isn’t going to be as excited as me about the assortment of male-genitalia candy I found online.
“I am ecstatic,” Thomas says, and though I roll my eyes at the exceedingly thick layer of sarcasm, nobody else seems to notice.
on Book Covers
I’ve made the unusual decision not to show the official book covers on my official author website for a variety of reasons:
Most of my books have multiple cover versions depending on language/country; the US English version is only one of many.
Several of my cover designs were spot-on when they released, but are now quite dated even though the love stories within are timeless.
I have an unwavering love for neutral colors, and elegantly minimalist design. The current rom-com cover trend towards candy colored cartoons is not my jam.
