Emergency Contact

I am afraid I wasn't a great fan of this book, despite being an avid reader of Lauren Layne's books. It all felt too contrived, too ridiculous. I can see this as a cheesy Hallmark Christmas film all too easily. I think I got over-excited at seeing a Lauren Layne book and just requested it without reading the blurb. I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review.

Katherine has been waiting to make partner in her law firm for years. It was her dad's dream and since he is now gone, she has done everything to make it happen, even giving her career more attention than her husband. Katherine is blindsided when Tom asks for a divorce. Fast forward four years and Katherine is still awaiting being a partner. "The Call" always comes right before Christmas. When Katherine ends up in a car accident on December 23rd she brought to the hospital with a concussion and a bad cut on her back. Since Katherine never updated her emergency contact, her ex, Tom gets called. Of course he is just about to leave to head back home to Chicago to be with his family and propose to his current girlfriend. Feeling guilty Tom heads to the hospital. When he realizes that Katherine needs to be supervised for the next 48 hours and she has no one else in her life, Tom agrees to take her with him to Chicago. The next two days turns into the movie Planes, Trains, and Auto

I cried that's definitely a 5 star read
