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!
