Magnetic
While on a business trip Layne Stone learns that she has been dumped by her partner of six years. Hurt, angry—a little tipsy she takes solace in the arms of a stranger. The brief encounter made going home to New Orleans and starting a new life a bit less daunting for Layne.
Stacy Mayeaux was unaccustomed to waking up alone in a hotel room. Normally, she was the one that crept out before the light of morning crept in. But the woman who’d left an indelible mark upon her soul simply walked away without so much as a phone number or a kiss goodbye.
Neither woman thought they’d ever cross paths, but irony proves them wrong. Layne and Stacy meet face-to-face once again in the most unfortunate of circumstances and the pull between them is simply Magnetic.

About the author
Robin Alexander
51 books814 followersBorn in 1965, Robin Alexander grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where she still resides. An avid reader of Lesbian fiction, Robin decided to take the leap and try her hand at writing. It didn't take long for her favorite hobby to become a full-time author.
Since her heritage is Scottish and Irish and she’s allergic to seafood, she’s considered an honorary Cajun. When she’s not writing, she’s exploring her state with the top off her Jeep in search of the small towns on the water that inspire her.
Robin is awkward, sometimes shy, loaded with anxieties, accident prone, dangerous with power tools, and has been known to make idiotic decisions. She has been fortunate enough to turn her shortcomings into the hilarious characters you’ll find in her novels and short stories. Her passion is writing funny tales about falling in love, being imperfect and reveling in friendship.
Robin is convinced she has the best job in the world, and she’s extremely grateful for her fans who support her and enable her to do what she loves.

I've been burned by some Alexander books. And I've been greatly overjoyed by some. I think that's why I have both a reluctance to read, and a strong draw to read this author's works. So, what happened this time?
I mean, I did just read another book by this author that I wanted to put on my top shelf but couldn't (because that's only for rereads, something I haven't yet done for an Alexander book) - and I do get 'burned out' at times. So . . ., I'm not sure there's an 'obviously' here. I'll note that that other book, 'Next Time', was one of the funniest books I've ever read. And this one? There was a point where I actually thought to myself, somewhere mid-stream, maybe late-ish in the read, that I hadn't so much as giggled. At least didn't recall doing so. So . . . (now we can do an 'obviously', right?). Late in the book there were some rather funny moments, so it wasn't completely humorless.
Right, sorry, I've dragged this out too long. This might be one of the best romance books I've read. Not really sure how or why that occurred, but it did. And almost everything about it screams that it's the kind of story that I'd run away from, or, if I saw the right type of hints, add to my 'not read because' shelf. Yet . . . I loved this romance. So, yes, this is yet another Alexander book I wish I could put on that top tier shelf, that six star one. Instead I have to content myself with placing it on my 5+ shelf.
The story? Well, a top level executive, the kind who basically works non-stop, is in Detroit about to do a presentation. Her six year long relationship comes to a close right beforehand, though, via e-mail. She then hooks up with a woman who pushes the right buttons, and she pours all the passion and desire into that hook up that has mostly been missing for the last six years. She then leaves, expecting to never see this woman again.
Something like a month later, Layne's boss (this being that hard charging woman's name) forces her to take a two week vacation. He 'misses his tiger' or some weird wording like that. With great reluctance, Layne goes on said short notice vacation. She brings along her three best friends. Two of them are a long term couple, third is a player. That player, though, has been in a 2 week relationship - completely unlike her. And her girlfriend turns up at the airport before they fly to Florida. That girlfriend is the woman Layne slept with in Detroit. Stacey. Both are shocked at seeing the other. The vacation goes on. Much tension.
Layne, it would appear, now finds herself having 'feelings' for a woman who is a girlfriend of one of her best friends. She's in a very bad situation now - and she can't get away from it, much as she tries. Every time she turns around, she runs into Stacey (almost literally, it was Stacy who, while jogging, ran into Layne, that one time).
Events unfold. Stuff happens. Weirdly, for me, I found it to be a great romance. Also, weirdly for me, I actually read the graphic sexual scenes while in public (something I've commented before on - that I seem cursed to always have those scenes come up while I'm in public, and so I tend to skim them). Less because I wanted to specifically read those scenes, and more because I wanted to read all the words on the page about this somewhat different romance.
By the way - I've made comments here and there, noticing certain things that this author likes to include, little hints here and there that it is an Alexander book (humor, location, old grandmas, etc.) - well, I know and felt that I was reading an Alexander book, but I didn't feel as if I'd already meet any of these characters before. Nor did most of those other little bits of other stuff turn up (except for the Louisiana part). This is something I noticed, but now forget how I wanted to make note of it in this review. Um . . so . . that occurred? heh.

Second reading changed my rating from 3.5 to 4 stars. I really liked this book, and will read it again.

I didn't love this but I didn't hate it either. I think I may have set my expectations a little to high for this one, just like with "Temporary Girl" which I didn't even bother reviewing.
Though not as comedic as some of her other books this story does have some funny moments and the main characters have good chemistry together. There is definitely a lot of pining and longing involved in this slight slow burn. The secondary characters are quite interesting as well and really help flesh out the story.
Unfortunately there were also some characters that I wanted a meteor to crash face first into. Like a certain someone who I would have broken my foot up her brokeback mountain butt if she had done to me what she did to one of the main characters.
The writing style was also not a favorite of mine. The author constantly head hopped from one character to another and it did not make for a smooth reading experience. Oh well better luck next time I guess. This gets an overall 3.25* rating.

This was different from most of the books I've read by Alexander. It didn't have the insanity in the form of old people interfering, crazy antics or constant witty banter but I enjoyed it as much as any other book by the same author. Layne is a pretty uptight individual who gets dumped by her partner of six years by email and has a one night stand. It was a good one but never expects to see her again.
I liked watching how it all played out and enjoyed the changes that Layne had to go through to get there. Good read.

Humour, slow-burn, a little angst it had everything I usually like but I couldn't connect with the characters and as a result I didn't enjoy it. Before the trip we only got one scene of them together. The little flashbacks weren't enough for me to ship them and then they're sulking away because oh it hurts so bad. Near the end it was a bit cute but I didn't feel the 'magnetic' pull between them.

In my most recent Alexander review, I noted that this specific book was tied for fourth favorite Alexander book. Mostly because it was originally rated, on first read, 5+ stars and because I'd only read it once.
Well, the book was not as fun this time around and I'm tentatively rating the reread 4.25 stars.
Here's where I'd list/remark upon/note why I might have found myself rating this book lower than my first read. Harder to do now, unfortunately, because I'm in a transition situation in which I moved from a barely habitable super hot apartment to a hotel to a really long car ride of a thousand or more miles to a temporary home and eventually to a new apartment (though that won't be until sometime in September). So . . . it's hard to focus my energy on things like why I feel certain ways about certain issues - book-wise.
I know I didn't find the interactions between the friends, girlfriend/one-night-stand/love-interest to be as interesting as in my first read.
So, in a nutshell: Woman A gets dumped via email (or was it a text?) while on a business trip to another city. Woman A gets some heavy flirtation from Woman B - Woman A calls herself Chloe, though lied. Woman B only called herself Stacy, as in only gave first name. Woman A & B have amazing sex together. Then A leaves before B wakes up the next morning. Neither has the ability to contact the other. Both have developed certain feelings for the other based on this one night stand.
Layne, aka Chloe, is forced by her boss, I-do-not-care-about-his-name, to go on vacation. Immediately (basically he is an asshole, majorly). Layne turns over plans for the vacation to Molly - a friend who is recovering from cancer (if I recall correctly). Molly, Molly's significant other (whose name now escapes me), Layne, and their fourth friend, fourth-friend (unfortunately the friends names are not in the book description and I did not name them in my previous review). Fourth-friend (Rhonda? Rachel? Rebecca? Monique? bah, let's not even try to remember, mmphs) brings along her new girlfriend - though she's already broken some records in how long she's been around - since fourth-friend is a serious player type who runs when things get boring.
That new girlfriend? Well Layne and her friends meet up at the airport. While there Layne meets the new girlfriend - the same woman she slept with a month or so back. Naturally a bad situation all around. Compounding the bad situation: Molly chose a vacation almost guaranteed to be the opposite of what Layne might have liked on a vacation (lazy cruise ship) - a vacation at a horse ranch type place in Florida in nature.
Stuff happens. There's some humor. The end.

I spent money for this so I finished it right on the heels of a reread "Patty's Potent Potion" and her newest, "Fearless" which are fabulous. "Magnetic" had me wondering if I had the wrong "Robin Alexnder" as this story had none of the usual wit, humor or distinction. It was just plain drama with the reader slogging through a tedious story with unlikeable characters who did not seem real. For example, the main character does to her 'best friend' what she wouldn't do to a stranger in acting on her desire for a woman who happens to be her "best friend's" current girlfriend.
The story begins with the main character being required to go on a vacation as her employer feels she is burnt out. Man, if that could be the standard practice in the U.S. with its minimal vacation time and few federal holidays. She lets her formless friends decide where to go, they're all going, and soon they're off to a camp run by lesbians in Florida. "Ah", I thought to myself. "Here comes the fun." No. The camp scenes were unpleasant with the growing tension between friends and lovers along with a female sexual predator named "Stick". There was no humor.
There was no humor at all in this book- just a growing unease that the reading experience was going to be a full-on drag. Ms Alexander knows how to write and is probably my favorite lesfic author but I admit she is uneven.

I feel odd giving a Robin Alexander book less than 5 stars, but i didn't quite love it. Mind you, i have read a slew of her 5 star books that i can't help but compare it to. So it's doomed by the company it keeps. Her books are so varied, from humor, adventure, murder mystery, family drama, paranormal, time travel, jungles.... there's always something intense going on with the plot that serves to intensify the romances that the author portrays. This book didn't present a strong plot like that to me.
It's about two women that meet and are drawn to each other, but the circumstances aren't very... conducive to them having a relationship. It does present food for thought; what would you do in that situation? choices between friendship and love, new friends, old friends, priorities vs uncontrollable desire. i doubt any of us could say what we'd do in a similar situation. So in this book you are on a ride, not terribly dramatic or emotionally jarring, as you watch these women go down the paths they feel they have to chose.
The author doesn't usually waver in creating characters that you can see as vividly as if you saw them in a movie. though in this one, i can picture the supporting roles better than the protagonists. not sure what they looked like other than hair color. so the chemistry with them didn't seem as palpable to me. That was made up for slightly by the usual frequent wit and humor that will have you laughing out loud at times, and the comfortable zone you can get into while hanging out with these characters for a few hours.
I liked this book and recommend it even though i didn't 5-star-love-it. If you haven't read anything else of Robin Alexander's though, i wouldn't start with this one and use it to judge her talent. Check her list of books and reviews, there's plenty great books to chose from.

Usual Robin Alexander's romantic comedy :) Enjoyable supporting characters, sweet storyline bit dragged and comparatively less funnier than her latest books but still worth a read!

Oh, I hate giving such a low review to this book. The first book I read by Robin Alexander was "Pitifully Ugly," and I absolutely loved it. But "Magnetic" isn't that book, and to be honest, I had a hard time believing it was written by the same author.
The premise of "Magnetic" sounds okay, if a bit bland: Layne meets Stacey and they have a one-night stand. They're both surprised when they meet again, and this time, Stacey's dating one of Layne's best friends. But there's something "magnetic" between Layne and Stacey that pulls them together, even when they seem like opposites (Layne is orderly and careful, Stacey is more carefree and spur of the moment).
The execution, unfortunately, is poor. I found it hard to get engrossed with the story; it was more of a "telling" than a "showing." I felt like I was reading an instruction manual in some places. The editing is also poor, with shifts in perspective, poor grammar, and spliced commas. I didn't bond with either of the main characters, and the dialogue was atrocious! No one talks like that in real life.
I'll continue reading Robin Alexander's books because I liked "Pitifully Ugly" so much, and I hope her future offerings are more like that book than this one. "Magnetic" is a dud.

Immediate attraction and the story develops from there with a twist and more development. I think it was risky as well as smart way by the author to pick one thing and sort of weave as much into it.
On the other it seemed a little telenovela like... spurning readers and then introducing a slack before resuming again.

Very bland meal.
I almost rounded it up to 2 because the story perks up at around 85% with interesting insight on two main with different definition of success, but no.
What irked me the most is the the duality of two friends of one of the main character, a pro & con duo, one saying 'don't!' and the other saying 'do'.
I realize, having gulped 3 Robin Alexander in a row, that it is a favorite trope of the writer.
And it's deeply annoying.

Interesting read about moving on after being dumped via email while at a conference. Sad and heartbroken, Layne meets a women and pours all her feelings into their night together thinking she will never see her again. Not so fast. While taking a vacation with friends, Stacy is there as girlfriend to one of her best friends. When their eyes meet, there is immediate recognition, curiosity, and a spark. Not as many humorous lines as other books by this author but the romance was good. Enjoyed the supporting cast of friends, cabins in the woods, small town, fireplace, and the various activities that make being with friends so special.

I was a little tempted to give this book a slightly lower rating. I didn't dislike it, but it was just not one of the hilariously funny books I've come to expect from Robin Alexander. It had its humorous moments, but don't expect it to be laugh-out-loud funny. It was, however, a very different take on the beginning of a relationship, so I kept the 4-star rating for being well-written and not falling into the same old formula.

A very enjoyable story. There were many parts in this book that had me outright laughing out loud. I would have gave it a five but the background stories to the romance was pretty drab.. but thankfully not long. The story mostly focuses on the characters and the building romance. Robin Alexander knows how to write 'sexy'.

Fun and fantastic!
I've just recently discovered this author and I have to say that the 2 books I've read so far are wonderful. This story was a bunch of fun and laughs but it was also completely full of real emotion and thought. Loved it!

Robin is one of my go-to authors when I want to read a story that is not too angsty and has characters I can relate to. Having read all of her more recent books, I decided to read all of her earlier stories. Magnetic strays from the humorous pattern I’ve gotten so used to with her books.
At first, I had a difficult time feeling any type of magnetic pull between Layne and Stacy. Other than physical attraction, they appeared to be complete opposites (Layne’s logical approach to life to Stacy’s more carefree approach). The further along I read, the more I got a sense of their magnetic pull. Layne's best friends, Jenny and Molly, both get a thumbs up in my book. I don’t think anyone could ask for a more supportive couple. Sticks, on the other hand...yeah, well it would have been nice to see her and Stacy go at it a few rounds. My money is on the artist.
There were a few laugh-out-loud moments, and other than Layne and Stacy’s sticky situation, nothing else jumped out at me. In all, this story rates about a 3.5 rounded up.

What a fun read. I enjoy Robin Alexander’s writing there is just something in the way she tells her story. The side characters are well written and complaint the story. The two main characters are flawed with everyday run of the mill flaws but find a way to make it work.

As usual, this is another well written novel by the author. I always love her sense of humor tied in with whatever struggles the characters are going through that get ultimately resolved by the end of the book. Well done!!
