This was such cute read. I love a good grumpy sunshine/opposites attract story.
Drew is your typical Alfa MMC at least until he meets Becky. Becky is a pastry shelf at his friends restaurant. She is fun and bubbly (and completely disarms Drew) but you can tell she’s a little broken. It’s so fun watching her find her confidence with Drew and him finding his humanity. These two definitely deserve a HEA!

it was a nice and cute read. the tension between Drew and Becky was there and the banter was nice.
but my expectations where higher than this. the snyposis souded a lot better. but alas in the end was okay. a cute read.

A cute, fun grumpy x sunshine rom com!
I wanted more from the point of view of the female main character.

Laura Carter's *The Law of Attraction* is a captivating rom-com that brings together two contrasting characters in the bustling city of Manhattan. This delightful story explores themes of love, personal growth, and the unpredictable nature of fate.

Drew Harrington, a top-tier attorney, is portrayed as a quintessential legal shark. His "love 'em and leave 'em" attitude suits his high-stakes, cutthroat professional life. Drew is on the brink of achieving his dream of becoming a partner at his prestigious law firm, but he faces one major hurdle: proving he has a more relatable, human side to his colleagues.

Enter Becky Fletcher, a charming British patisserie chef with a past she’d rather forget. Becky’s sunny disposition and warm-hearted nature starkly contrast Drew’s hardened exterior. She’s looking for a fresh start and a friendly face in the intimidating expanse of New York City, not romance. Their paths cross serendipitously at a bagel cart, setting the stage for a relationship that seems doomed from the start yet has undeniable chemistry.

Carter excels in crafting a story that is both fun and heartfelt. The chemistry between Drew and Becky is electric, making their interactions compelling and their romance believable. Drew's journey from a detached, ambitious attorney to someone capable of genuine affection is well-developed and satisfying. Becky’s own transformation, as she learns to trust and open up to Drew despite her past, adds depth to her character.

The novel’s pacing is brisk, keeping readers engaged as the story unfolds. Carter's writing is sharp and witty, providing plenty of laugh-out-loud moments alongside more tender, introspective scenes. The Manhattan setting adds a dynamic backdrop to the romance, with the city’s energy reflecting the highs and lows of Drew and Becky’s relationship.

The secondary characters also enhance the narrative, offering additional layers and subplots that enrich the main story. They provide insights into both Drew's and Becky’s worlds, making their individual transformations more poignant.

*The Law of Attraction* is a delightful read for fans of the opposites-attract trope. It balances humour, romance, and emotional growth, creating a story that is both entertaining and deeply satisfying. Laura Carter’s novel is perfect for readers looking for a light-hearted yet meaningful romance that highlights the power of love to transform and heal.

Drew Harrington is a hot Manhattan Attorney and he really does know it! He would literally love you and then leave you! He’s about to be named a partner in his firm if he can find a way to prove to his colleagues that he has a more human side.

Becky Fletcher is a sweetheart of a British Patisserie Chef but she is running from her past and is the opposite of Drew with her warm nature and his hard exterior. Love is the last thing on her mind.

I could not put this book down, I love romance and the difference in the characters and the heat sure ramped up!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy of this e-arc.

This was a good little romance and it did what it needed to do. I did enjoy both main characters and the story flowed really well. I would recommend.

just finished the excerpt and it was very intriguing. seems like a very interesting story with a grumpy/sunshine trope told mainly from the MC’s POV!

This was not my favorite. I felt the male main character difficult to like which made it difficult to root for the relationship.

Thank you SO much to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

I absolutely loved this!! Such great characters and a great storyline.

My full review is to follow in a few days.....

Great read, very cute story, liked it a lot.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

Another great read by this author. Thoroughly enjoyable, easy read. Thank you netgalley for the arc.

I really enjoyed this romantic tale: it is sweet, uncomplicated and the protagonist very much reminded me of Harvey from Suits! No bad thing, his ways are undeniably self-centred and thinking with his trousers, I liked how terrible and good Drew was all at once.

Not only does the character remind me of a television show, but I loved Carter’s reference to it. Even with the scotch consumption and Drew’s secretary, Sarah, all I could think of was the Suits links. Yet, when Drew meets Becky in a queue for a breakfast bagel, his behaviours start to change. No longer is he driven by bedding beautiful women and happily having just one-night stands, the connection he finds with Becky distracts him because it is like coming home. Becky offers security, warmth and a genuine relationship that Drew knows he has never felt before. But does she feel the same?

What was refreshing about this story is that readers do not get much of an insight into how Becky is feeling. There are only a handful of chapters from her perspective and these mostly provide the background to how “British Becky” ends up working in New York. As such, I was as perplexed as Drew and, despite his arrogance, even he cannot be completely certain that the obsessive feelings he has for this girl are even returned, particularly as Becky emphasised how much she was not looking for a long-term relationship.

I really enjoyed this element of the story, finding it unusual to know so much about the male character and so little about the love interest. Furthermore, I found Becky’s background to be surprising, especially towards the end. The relationship between the two characters is a sweet, slow-burner and I appreciated seeing them get to know each other better, rather than just the physical side of the relationship (although Drew is easily distracted by thoughts of this).

It is not a racy, graphic novel, but with enough suggestions to know what the characters are feeling. There were no characters I especially disliked and I delighted in mix of romance with being an upshot lawyer in New York. Drew is described in a way that will get most readers’ hearts racing and he definitely had character appeal! I hope the rest of the series is just as good as this one, giving me the escapism I really needed.

With thanks to Boldwood books and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Don't really know what I was expecting. When I started to read it kind of grabbed my attention in the beginning, I thought these two may be a fun read. According to the description it was "a laugh-out-loud" romcom. There was very little funny about it, it dragged on,same old, I kept waiting for it to improve,it never did.

Becky Fletcher, a talented pastry chef running from her regret-laden past, finds herself in New York, determined to live life to the fullest. As she works through her bucket list, fate introduces her to Drew Harrington, a successful but uptight attorney. Despite their differences, a friendship blossoms, leading to unexpected feelings. Drew, accustomed to his kick-ass life, is captivated by Becky's charm and culinary skills. The attraction intensifies, but Becky is hesitant due to past relationship trauma. The irresistible pull between them creates intense tension, and as Drew falls hard, Becky grapples with unveiling her hidden baggage from the past. This chick lit offers a cute, fast-paced narrative with sweet and efficient dialogue. The instant and provocative connection between Drew and Becky keeps readers glued to their seats, making it an engaging story of love, past secrets, and the journey to unpacking emotional baggage.

// thank you to the publishers and net galley for giving me an earlier access arc to this book!

i was actually pleasantly surprised by this one! this book is a lot deeper than i was expecting it to be--our 'sunshine' main character gets a pretty intense backstory that we only really learn of towards the end, which certainly kept the book exciting and unpredictable until the very end. it really gave her character some depth, and explored interesting themes (which is all i can say without saying too much 🙃).

i also really liked the male main character. it was an fun and interesting choice to have the majority of the book narrated from his pov, and his narration certainly made the premise and the attraction between the two characters seem very believable. it was a nice change compared to traditional romance books! i also really enjoyed the conflict our male main character goes through, and the discussion about what success means and whether you have to leave behind your past to achieve great things was actually really appreciated!

overall a cute little addictive romance and i highly recommend to anyone looking for a good grumpy/sunshine romance that doesn't feel too trope-heavy or unrealistic!

This is one of those delicious little stories that you just want to curl up with and kick back. I mean seriously...I wish I had a week to read this one slowly from cover to cover in order to indulge in the humor tinged love and life story within. Did I take that long? Alas, no.... my schedule wouldn't allow that, but I did enjoy my time between the epages for the overall tale, but especially the characters!

Becky and Drew...
She's a transplant from merry old London, but whether running away from or towards something remains to be seen. He's a high powered attorney, making his way through each day with nary a smile or laugh, as he works the high powered legal proceedings on his way to the top. Together, they probably would be happy, but apart drives both of their hearts to the brink. I loved them for who they were and how they were with each other. The feelings they shared were startling for each of them, but felt wonderfully right to the rest of us. Though secrets threaten to stall whatever may be growing been them, as long as there's hope, love will find a way.

All in all, a great read for Romcom fans and the start to what sounds like a fabulous series!

Cute and quirky! A fun romance that I easily devoured! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book.

Rough around the edges Drew is tamed by the sweet and bubbly Becky. Cute story about how she breaks down his tough exterior and ends up winning him over, but told from the (mostly) POV of Drew. We hardly see Becky’s POV in this story, which is a shame. There’s also some REALLY heavy topics in this book that aren’t mentioned anywhere, and while they don’t trigger me too much, it could other readers! So beware! Overall - a decently written book with some plus and minus in the plot, but I’d recommend it. Thanks for the opportunity to read!

“The Law of Attraction” is a cute rom-com told from both of the MC’s POVs. The story will have you rooting for the characters from the get go.

It was a quick read and made me want to read more of Laura Carter’s work.

Thank you Laura Carter, NetGalley, and BoldwoodBooks for this ARC. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

A male pov character in a room com style. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me review this book.
