Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Lauren Layne’s bestselling Oxford Series continues with the poignant, heartwarming story of New York’s most eligible bachelor, Lincoln Mathis, a man who’s living a lie—until his dream woman takes away the pain.
Lincoln Mathis doesn’t hide his reputation as Manhattan’s ultimate playboy. In fact, he cultivates it. But behind every flirtatious smile, each provocative quip, there’s a secret that Lincoln’s hiding from even his closest friends—a tragedy from his past that holds his heart quietly captive. Lincoln knows what he wants: someone like Daisy Sinclair, the sassy, off-limits bridesmaid he can’t take his eyes off at his best friend’s wedding. He also knows that she’s everything he can never have.
After a devastating divorce, Daisy doesn’t need anyone to warn her off the charming best man at her sister’s wedding. One look at the breathtakingly hot Lincoln Mathis and she knows that he’s exactly the type of man she should avoid. But when Daisy stumbles upon Lincoln’s secret, she realizes there’s more to the charming playboy than meets the eye. And suddenly Daisy and Lincoln find their lives helplessly entwined in a journey that will either heal their damaged souls . . . or destroy them forever.
Praise for Someone Like You

5By Poseygirll87Love this author. Such a great sense of humor and so wittyLove it!
5By Bexter04My favorite from the Stiletto/Oxford series!! The most heartbreaking story but also the best!!Oh my gosh
5By hoplesslydsWhat in the heck! I can’t even with this book! This book was by far the BEST book of the Oxford series’s!! It had me happy and sad and happy again and rooting for Lincoln! Ugh I’m so sad it had to end but it was happy ending and happy tears! I’m still in awe! Well done!Good
4By kingdirtydanHonestly was not what I expected but it wasn’t a bad novel either, it had its good and bad moments, over all I enjoyed it.Wow!
5By LEE2LEGI didn’t think I could love a Lauren Layne story more than the love story of Sam&Riley or even Emma&Cassidy, but wow…..I cried real tears at multiple times during this story and laughed so hard I had to reread the section just to find myself laughing again. This group of friends is a group you just want to dive into, but the love stories on their own are incredible. Lincoln and Daisy will make you feel every emotion and then some. Definitely worth the read!Lincoln’s story will warm and break your heart
5By Heathererer86The best book in this series! Lincoln’s story is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. I love the Oxford guys and could happily read a book just about them hanging out at work. Anyone else with me?One of my favorites
5By QerzxI just spent the past 2 weeks reading all Stiletto/Oxford books. Every one of them have been amazing and heartfelt but this one was good enough to actually make me cry. The backstory of Lincoln Mathis was so tragic and beautiful my heart actually ached for him. Well done, Lauren. Loved every moment.Unexpected
5By ReadnreadWhat a wonderful, surprising, heartbreaking story! I was shocked by Lincoln's backstory! I knew his character from other books in the series, but this twist made his and Daisy's story so very engrossing and so very meaningful. Two damaged people come together as friends and start their healing process ------ a process that isn't smooth, isn't easy, isn't without further heartache but is oh so necessary and oh so beautiful to watch unfold.Lincoln Lincoln Lincoln *sigh*
5By royalc11Another great book from LL! I actually kept avoiding reading this book. So much anticipation, I wanted it to just keep building. But once I started, I fell in love. Lincoln & daisy were literally like ying and yang. Such great complements to the other! & I love how much we saw the rest of the gang. This is probably one of my favorite series!Timing
4By 2kasmomThis is book is # 3 in the Oxford series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. For reader enjoyment and understanding, I recommend reading this series in order. Lincoln is known as a playboy to all his friends and colleagues. The truth is so far from this that it could be in another country. When he finally meets the brides twin sister Daisy, the he has someone to confide in. Daisy is not sure what to make of Lincoln. One thing they have in common in a lonely heart. They see the truth in each other's eyes. Maybe starting as friends is the best way to get a relationship going This series continues to blow me away! All the Oxford men are HOT! These characters are strong, have humor, and are just an all around great read. ***This ARC copy was given by Netgalley and its publisher, in exchange for an honest review.
