    * * *

    True love can be hard to find. Even when it’s been right under your nose all along…

    After witnessing the fallout of her parent’s divorce, love has never been a priority for garden designer Frankie Cole. The only man in her life is her friend Matt–but that’s strictly platonic. If only she found it easier to ignore the way he makes her heart race…

    Matt Walker has loved Frankie for years but, has always played it cool. Until he uncovers new depths to the girl he’s known forever, and doesn’t want to wait a moment longer.

    Matt knows Frankie has secrets and has buried them deep, but can he persuade her to kiss him under the Manhattan sunset?

      I thought it was OK! Little gullible, but nice. I really had a problem with Eva's voice... it was soooo annoying!
    • 5/5
      Frankie designs gardens for a living. She runs a successful business together with her two best friends, Eva and Paige. They share a building together with Paige's brother Matt and Frankie has her own apartment, her sanctuary. Matt is the only man Frankie lets into her life. After her parents' messy divorce, and the reputation her mother gained herself because of it, Frankie stopped believing in love. Falling for Matt is the last thing she wants, but it's hard to ignore him because she sees him almost every day.

      Matt needs someone to help him with a roof garden and Frankie would be perfect for the job. She's reluctant to accept his offer, but as it's something she loves doing Frankie accepts after some convincing from both Matt and her best friends. This means she'll be working together with her secret crush for most of the summer. Matt has liked Frankie for years and finally he has a chance to break through her barriers. He has to be careful because even though he thinks he knows her, Frankie is hiding a lot more of herself than he initially suspected. Will she eventually give him a chance?

      Sunset in Central Park is a wonderful sweet story. Frankie is afraid to get hurt. Her parents' divorce was traumatizing and the aftermath even more. Frankie has been hurt deeply in her past and my heart ached for her when I read about what happened to her. She tries to make herself as unattractive as possible, so men won't come near her, but Matt sees through her façade and he wants to get to know the real Frankie. He's interested in her and does everything he can to make her feel comfortable with him. He's kind and gentle and I loved both their chemistry and their amazing friendship.

      Sarah Morgan writes about relationships in a beautiful captivating way. Her stories are fun and sexy, but they also have plenty of different emotional layers. Friends are just as important as lovers and I like that combination very much. She can easily put herself in someone else's place and she describes her characters in a vivid, moving and complete way. Frankie and Matt are such a lovely couple. They are people who truly deserve to be happy. Sunset in Central Park is a fantastic romantic story with an ending that put a big smile on my face.
    • 4/5
      4.5 stars.

      The second installment in Sarah Morgan'scharming From Manhattan with Love series,Sunset in Central Park is an absolutely delightful friends to lovers romance. In this outing, relationship shy Frankie Cole is stunned by her sudden attraction to her longtime friend, Matt Walker. Convinced there is no such as happily ever after, Frankie is afraid to risk ruining their friendship by dating but will Matt persuade her to give him (and them) a chance?

      After her parents' devastating divorce, Frankie has a jaundiced outlook on love and marriage. She goes out of her to be as inconspicuous as possible and she has her barriers firmly in place. Although she is quite close to her best friends, Eva and Matt's sister Paige, she shies away from physical affection and she closely guards her secrets. Frankie is an introvert who enjoys her solitude, but when one of her friends needs her, she puts aside her uneasiness with messy emotions to offer support and comfort. Having successfully avoided relationships, Frankie is hopelessly inept when it comes to flirting and she is horrified by her sudden awareness of Matt. Although experience tells her relationships are doomed to fail, Frankie tentatively agrees to an "undate" with Matt. Pleasantly surprised by how much fun they have together, they are soon spending all of their time together, but will Frankie's fears ruin their chance at happiness?

      Matt is incredibly sweet, patient and sympathetic once he understands the reasons Frankie is so cynical about love and marriage. He is certain they belong together and he is willing to give her as much time and space she needs to trust him with her heart. Matt is surprised by the realization that although he has known her for the most of her life, he still has much to learn about the woman who has captured his heart. She is surprisingly open with him about her past and while he understands why she is so cautious, Matt does not allow her fears to interfere with their burgeoning romance. However, just as Frankie is finally making peace with her painful childhood, her insecurities threaten to permanently derail their relationship.

      Sunset in Central Park is a wonderful novel of healing, love and friendship. Frankie has plenty of emotional baggage to deal with and Matt is the perfect person to help her overcome her deep-seated fears. Eva and Paige are on hand to offer both Matt and Frankie gentle encouragement and sound advice as they traverse the tricky transformation from friends to lovers. This warm and witty addition to the From Manhattan with Love series is sure to be a hit with old and new fans Sarah Morgan.
    • 5/5
      Just a few months ago, I was fortunate to have been able to read my first book by Sarah Morgan: Midnight At Tiffany’s. I loved the book and the band of friends within the story. I was delighted to find that it was actually the third book in the From Manhattan With Love series as it easily read as a standalone novel. Immediately, I was on the search for the rest of the series. Then I read the first book in the series , Sleepless In Manhattan, and fell in love with the characters all over again. Now, having just finished the second book, Sunset In Central Park, it feels like a trifecta!Frankie Cole has made it out of her hometown on Puffin Island to The Big Apple. She made the move with her best friends and has never looked back. Shamed by her parents’ divorce and her mother’s resulting promiscuity, Frankie has felt as though the entire island knew about it and judged her for it by association. In New York City, with the support of her group of friends, she feels confident in her field of garden design and floral arrangements.Matt Walker has known Frankie her whole life. His sister is one of her closest friends and he likes to think he is a close friend too. One encounter leaves him realizing he has only scratched the surface of Frankie’s true personality. What is she hiding under the persona that she wears every day?I loved the slow unveiling of what Frankie has been hiding and I felt the mask was justified given the shame and guilt that she felt from her parents’ divorce. Furthermore, I enjoyed how patient Matt was with Frankie’s insecurities, yet he was still able to push her to be stronger and face her fears. Frankie has a great supporting group of friends that the reader is able to see their interactions as the narration switches between Frankie and Matt. Lastly, I loved that Frankie was the hero at the end of the day!I will be reading more of Sarah Morgan’s books and I would recommend this book for readers who enjoy reading romance. Also, for readers who enjoy reading about New York City as the setting is described beautifully. It makes me want to take another trip out there!On the other hand, I would not recommend this book for readers who do not enjoy explicitly sexual scenarios, brief violence, or foul language (which was only a few times).

      Such a good book!I loved Frankie and Matt--definitely MFEO. He was so patient with her particular kind of relationship crazy--until he wasn't, but that was okay too, because they needed to get through that part to get to the HEA, and anyway Frankie totally knew how to bring it for that (literally) kick-butt ending--and she was so, well, crazy.But in a good way. Mostly. A way that was entertaining to read, anyway. I adore seeing into character's heads and finding out they're way more messed up than I am.(We're going to ignore the fiction - real life distinction, 'kay? It's better that way.)Plus, she found a way to get herself to a less crazy place and learn to trust and hope, so--win-win.Sunset is both a friends-to-lovers and a best-friend's-older-brother story--in other words, the best of both worlds. Add in the fact that Matt is such a stellar book boyfriend that he's even taken in an emotionally damaged cat (aptly named Claws) and really, there was no chance I wasn't going to love this one. Fortunately, it totally lived up to all my hopes, and then some.I have no excuse for the fact that book one in the series, Sleepless in Manhattan is sitting patiently on my ereader, waiting to be read--what was I waiting for?--and I didn't even have to get to the teaser for book three, Miracle on 5th Avenue , to know that it needed to be added to my TBR, like, yesterday. This series. It's gonna be a favorite, for sure. (But in the meantime, this one worked just fine as a standalone.)Rating: 4 stars / A-
    • 3/5
      I'd found the first book (in a planned trilogy) pleasant undemanding stuff. But but but... this second one left me with far too many wtf moments. As far as I was concerned, the main character needed therapy, not a boyfriend. To be fair, these stories rely on suspension of disbelief (a lovely job and a lovely home in your twenties in the most expensive city in the world?!), and I think I find that a lot easier in a Heyer style regency setting than I do here. Morgan can be relied upon to write well - but this just didn't work for me.
