Frankie Cole is not a fan of anything associated with
love or weddings. Despite her talent with flowers, she
dreads the wedding events that their event and concierge
business, Urban Genie, hosts. However, she loves working
with her two best friends, Paige and Eva, and she's
become comfortable with her life. What she doesn't expect
is an attraction to flare up between her and Matt Walker,
Paige's brother and one of her longtime friends. Can
Frankie step past her fears and find a happily ever after
for herself?
I love Frankie! In fact, Frankie may be my favorite
romance heroine of all time. Sarah Morgan does a
beautiful job at highlighting Frankie's strengths and
sarcastic wit while also showing us her underlying
emotional fragility. I want to reread SUNSET IN CENTRAL
PARK over and over just to enjoy Frankie's cynical but oh
so hilarious commentary. Despite her seemingly tough
exterior, however, Frankie is a deeply loyal and caring
person and exactly the kind of friend I would want to
have.
I also appreciate Sarah Morgan's ability to take readers
to some of the darker places in life while still offering
us hope. There is a side plot in SUNSET IN CENTRAL PARK
that I hope to see more of as I'm hoping Sarah Morgan
will tackle these characters in a future book. I won't
ruin things by revealing spoilers, but I definitely
respect Sarah Morgan's sensitivity at tackling a dark but
oh so realistic issue.
SUNSET IN CENTRAL PARK is the second book in Sarah
Morgan's From Manhattan With Love series. You can
easily jump right into SUNSET IN CENTRAL PARK and enjoy
this series, but these characters are so much fun that I
can't imagine skipping even one moment with them! Sarah
Morgan continues to demonstrate why she is one of the
best contemporary romance writers out there as SUNSET IN
CENTRAL PARK is one of the best books I've read this
year -- and I read a lot of books! If you read just one
contemporary romance book this year, make it SUNSET IN
CENTRAL PARK. You won't be disappointed!
In the chaos of New York, true love can be hard to find,

along…
Love has never been a priority
for garden designer Frankie Cole. After witnessing the
fallout of her parents' divorce, she's seen the devastation
an overload of emotion can cause. The only man she feels
comfortable with is her friend Matt—but that's strictly
platonic. If only she found it easier to ignore the way he
makes her heart race…
Matt Walker has loved
Frankie for years but, sensing how fragile she is beneath
her feisty exterior, has always played it cool. But then he
uncovers new depths to the girl he's known forever and
doesn't want to wait a moment longer. He knows Frankie has
secrets and has buried them deep, but can Matt persuade her
to trust him with her heart and kiss him under the Manhattan
sunset?
