Fiction. Literature. Romance. Humor (Fiction.) HTML:From the New York Times bestselling author of the Central Park Pact comes a reverse My Fair Lady for the modern era about a pampered and privileged Manhattan socialite who must teach an unpolished and denim-loving nobody from the Louisiana Bayou how to fit in with the upper crust of New York City. Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Sally Thorne.
Violet Townsend has always been a people pleaser. Raised in the privileged world of Upper East Side Manhattan, she always says the right things, wears the right clothes, and never rocks the boat. Violet would do anything for the people closest to her, especially her beloved grandmother. So when she asks Violet to teach the newly-discovered grandson of her friend how to fit in with New York City's elite, Violet immediately agrees. Her goal? To get Cain Stone ready to take his place as heir to his family company...but to say he's not exactly an eager student is an understatement.

Born and raised in rural Louisiana and now making his own way in New Orleans, Cain Stone is only playing along for the paycheck at the end. He has no use for the grandmother he didn't know existed and no patience for the uppity Violet's attempts to turn him into a suit-wearing, museum-attending gentleman.

But somewhere amidst antagonistic dinner parties and tortured tux fittings, Cain and Violet come to a begrudging understandingâ??and the uptight Violet realizes she's not the only one doing the teaching. As she and Cain begin to find mutual respect for one another (and maybe even something more), Violet learns that blindly following society's rules doesn't lead to happiness...and that sometimes the best things in life come from the most unexpected plac

Made in Manhattan is a twist on My Fair Lady. Instead of the man making over the woman, Violet is the one tasked to "makeover" Cain so that he fits the mold and is suitable to take over the family business. Cain isn't so sure he wants the business and definitely is resistant to the makeover. Violet learns that Cain is a lot more than he appears and finds that she needs a few changes in her life as well.

I really enjoyed this story. Not being from a big city and never having known anyone from that kind of upbringing, I wondered if people in those circles are really as described? I hope not. I was happy to see both characters grow and change but not give up what made up their true characters. Lauren Layne's writing drew me in and kept me engaged. The descriptions of New York City and especially Central Park were well done.

My sincere thanks to Gallery Books and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book and give my unbiased opinion of it. ( )

I am an avid fan of Ms. Layne, and I was excited to review this copy of her newest book.

This book was a sweet retelling of "My Fair Lady" with the characters flip-flopped. Unfortunately, this book was a tad difficult for me to get into because it seemed so old-fashioned for the world we live in. I felt that Cain was a little too volatile, but then I realized that this was the way he had to be written to show how he grew. Violet was a little too wishy-washy, but she grew eventually. I don't know if her growth was actually for the better, but she thrived.

This book held my attention, and I enjoyed it. However, I just didn't love it!
