After the Kiss by Lauren Layne

I quiet enjoyed this book..... A story on how to make it to the next step in a relationship (undercover girlfriend) turned into not just an assignment but true love and the aftermath of a bet gone wrong.

This book is about Julie a magazine columnist and Mitchell a broker on Wall Street, saying it out loud you'd probably think what do these two have in common, what this book showed you was that you don't have to be exactly alike *a twin* if you must, to find true love.

The story is being told from Julie's POV and how she has taken on the challenge to take a relationship "to the next level" as she has never done it before; she's always been the date a few weeks and leave type of girl..... And then Mitchell's POV and how he is this stuffy "Mr. Wall Street" who has spent the last 2 years of his life dating the Senator's daughter, because it was expected of him (how predictable).... A chance for them both to experience something different. Julie wants to experience a long term relationship *the dreaded movie night* and Mitchell wants to have a quick fling because he's predictable and could never take advantage of a female like that.

And so it begins..... When Mitchell runs into his ex-girlfriend Evelyn for the first time since they broke up, Julie is feeling a tad bit defeated, but Mitchell lifts her spirits when he informs her he has turned down Evelyn when she asked for second chance (this totally floored me). I thought for sure that he'd see her again and realize he was missing the order in his life and he would follow through on his bet to dump Julie after a few dates... But what Mitchell was really missing from his life was unpredictability, someone to make him smile, feel like his world had tilted, who could "wear her granny panties" and not be embarrassed. What he needed was Julie, the unpredictable fun loving girl who had a past full of hurt, who was scared to let anybody in because of that past, but she let Mitchell in, she opened up to him like no other..... But would this love last forever, was it reality or just a spot in her magazine.....

Not writing her article would have been the worst mistake of her life and not seeing that he needed Julie in his life would have been the biggest mistake of Mitchell's life. I would definitely recommend this book. Great job Ms. Lauren.
