Morgan whips up a sweet tale using the backdrop of spirited New York City in her second From Manhattan with Love contemporary (after Sleepless in Manhattan). Events planner Frankie Cole has resigned herself to being forever single, believing that all relationships are doomed. She wears eyeglasses that she doesn’t need in order to repel any man who might be interested in her. This strategy works until Matt Walker, a friend of a friend, reenters her life, and Frankie finds herself incredibly drawn to him. The author does a wonderful job of depicting Matt’s point of view, making it clear that he’s attracted to Frankie even more because of her superfluous eyewear. Frankie is an adorable and lovable character whom readers will passionately champion. She’s amusing and cute as she tries her best to avoid the man who sets her heart afire, and the warm and clever way Matt pursues her will make any reader swoon. Morgan’s novel delivers the classic sweep-you-off-your-feet romantic experience.

Floral designer Frankie Cole doesn't believe in fairy tales, love stories, or happily-ever-afters. Ever since her parents' divorce, when she was a child, her mother has had a series of embarrassing relationships with younger and younger men. Running the event-planning business, Urban Genie, with Paige and Eva, her two best friends, is more than enough for Frankie. An opportunity to work with Paige's brother, Matt, on a rooftop terrace makes Frankie reconsider her position, but Matt is going to have to work hard to convince Frankie that taking a chance on love is worth the risk of heartbreak. The second book in the From Manhattan with Love trilogy doesn't disappoint, and Morgan (Sleepless in Manhattan, 2016) excels in balancing the sweet and sexy to create the perfect blend.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
