Description
From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Layne—and her real life husband and high school sweetheart, Anthony LeDonne—comes a new holiday romcom that is sure to warm even the coldest heart.
Katherine, an ambitious NYC attorney, gets diagnosed with a concussion and must be monitored for 48 hours to make sure it doesn’t get worse. Unfortunately, she forgot to update her emergency contact so the person they call is her ex-husband, Tom. Unable to be left alone, Katherine reluctantly agrees to travel to Chicago with Tom for the holidays. But thanks to a blizzard, what should have been a quick plane ride turns into an antagonistic overnight misadventure that stirs up old feelings even as Tom prepares to propose to his girlfriend on Christmas Eve.
A delightful meet-cute between The Proposal and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Emergency Contact is perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Sally Thorne.

4By Zamboni_tlmThis second chance holiday romance was sweet, complicated, witty, & sucked me in at the very beginning. Katherine’s lonely life has put her in a precarious situation when she needs supervision after a concussion. Enter…stage hospital room…her ex-husband & apparently still her emergency contact, Tom. These two have magically managed to not run into each other in the same city since their divorce, but I guess New York IS a big city. But this chance reunion puts them in each other’s presence for a few days. Queue the witty banter, the unfortunate circumstances, the issue of one disaster after another, & you have the recipe for a perfect second chance reunion. As these two navigate their current situation, they slowly find what made them each fall in love with the other…and they both see what made them go oh so wrong. I loved the humanity in this book. Tom’s good samaritan/white knight personality and Kat’s sacrificial heart to do anything to ensure Tom’s happiness. But in the end, their true happiness was well founded in each other. Sometimes, we get it right the first time. Audiobook Review: Tim Paige & Brianna Cohen delivered a stellar performance. Both pulled me into the story & had me rooting for both sides the entire way.Perfection
5By Four B'sI hope this husband and wife duo gives us more gems like this. Read it in one sitting. Absolutely perfect!10 out of 10
5By becks_89I was so excited to finally have a new book from Lauren. She is absolutely my favorite author. This book does not disappoint. I laughed, cried, and laughed again. You will fall in love with Katherine and Tom . Sometimes I feel like the heroines of romance are a little naive, out of touch with reality and feels like the books had to be written by a sexist man instead of a pro women romance author. Katherine is the absolutely the opposite of this and the perfect character. She was so real, so genuine and relatable. She felt like my best friend . The whole book was completely refreshing!! Cannot wait to read Lauren’s next book.
