Wonderful love story
Molly is a famous advice columnist and author. She writes under a pseudonym, so she can lead an anonymous life. Molly is a love expert and thinks she knows everything about relationships. She doesn't want one herself though. After a traumatic experience she is content spending time with her dog Valentine and doesn't want to be with anyone ever again. That is until she meets Daniel, a cynical divorce lawyer. Daniel is interested in Molly and they have plenty of chemistry. However, Molly doesn't want to date. Will Daniel be able to change her mind?Daniel knows what kind of damage a bad marriage can do to people, especially to children. He helps people to break up and thinks he knows exactly how relationships work. That's also why he doesn't want one. Until he meets Molly and her dog Valentine in the park and borrows a dog so he can talk to her. There's something between Molly and Daniel, but they both aren't ready to see it. Will they be able to give love a chance or are they too convinced relationships will never be in the cards for them?New York, Actually is a wonderful romantic story. Molly is a sweetheart. She genuinely wants to help people and she's giving good advice. She has caring friends and has finally got the support system she deserves, but after everything that happened to her in the past Molly finds it hard to trust. She's such a great person and I kept hoping she'd discover that there are kindhearted people in the world as well, with friendly personalities, genuinely interested in her happiness. Daniel is the perfect man for Molly. They challenge each other, there are plenty of sparks between them and they have a fantastic intellectual click. I loved his determination and his fabulous flair. I couldn't wait to find out if they'd give each other a chance and read the book in one sitting because of it.Sarah Morgan has a terrific warm writing style that always manages to cheer me up as soon as I start reading her stories. I love that feelgood factor. She combines it with beautiful relationships. Both friendship and love are important in her books, which is something else I really like. New York, Actually is a story about professionally successful people who have been through a lot emotionally. Sarah Morgan writes about their pain in an honest open way and balances this with a lot of light and joy. I enjoyed that very much. New York, Actually is another spellbinding From Manhattan With Love story that I highly recommend.

Such an enjoyable read
I couldn’t put the book down once I started. I was hooked at the fact that the male lead had to borrow a dog to get a woman’s attention. I obviously had to see how it played out. The book was packed with humor and little things that had me chuckling. I love that in a book; and the rapport between the characters kept me tuned in. The story itself was well-paced with a lot of meaningful comments that are relatable, we got to see how the protagonists’ started their rocky relationship and watched as it grew into something more despite the misunderstandings and wariness that were present. I loved Daniel’s patience, determination, and perseverance in getting Molly to have a conversation with him and start a relationship, even if he did originally have less than moral plans in mind. The big secret that Molly was hiding came as a surprise to me, I’m surprised the male lead took her seriously from the get-go because I definitely wouldn’t have been able to keep a poker face. I was a little annoyed that Molly was stuck on believing her past relationship history was true, I felt like she gave her exes too much credit, especially the last one. I’m so glad Daniel finally helped her see the truth. The ending was a bit predictable, but the book gave off a different flavor that made me pick it up in the first place.This is the second novel that I’ve read from this author after enjoying her “Playing by the Greek’s Rules” featuring a quirky female lead. I’m glad to see that the humor she injects into her novels hasn’t changed.

Exciting
I bought the whole series of Manhattan in Love and they were all exciting. I am just finishing up Family For Beginners and it is also fantastic. I'm truly enjoying Sarah Morgan books. As soon as I get all of the O'Neil Brothers, I will start reading them.

Not my favourite
This was my least favourite book so far from Sarah Morgan. I am on a mission to read as many of her books as I can this year. This is my 6th one and I was a bit disappointed. The romans unfolds very quickly, unlike in other books. There is just the physical attraction and Molly and Daniel are suddenly, out of nowhere into each other. I finished it and off I go to read the next one.

ANOTHER FIVE STAR RATING
Sarah Morgan has done it again. I must stop giving reviews that don’t change much. This one is about two people at different end of the scale for one reason or another.The added bonus in this story is Valentine and Brutus. Read on and find out why.

Really?
Had to stop reading this very soon after it started as it became just too absurd. If any woman walking a dog in the park was approached by a man who in conversation alluded to sex, banter or not, she would be out of there pdq. I know this is a frothy silly novel but honestly...
