aww this was great. ( )

Not quite as funny as I found [b:Just the Sexiest Man Alive|3863861|Just the Sexiest Man Alive|Julie James|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1342552584s/3863861.jpg|3909033] but still pretty great. The sexual tension was not quite as believable but the sex scenes made up for it. The scene in the nightclub felt more than a little forced and if my best friend/maid-of-honor took off from my wedding directly after the toast to shag her new boyfriend, I'd probably be a bit ticked but otherwise, I thought it was just a fun read. There was enough angst to keep it from being too light-hearted but not so much that it was dark, the dialogue was pretty snappy, and wonder of wonders the protags actually talked to each other. Their misconceptions about each other were prolonged enough for tension but not so much that I wanted to smack the hell out of them. It worked better for me as a contemporary than a suspense, so that's how I'm shelving it. The interludes from the suspect's pov saved us from a villainous reveal-all speech, but I didn't really like how they broke up the flow. Also, the Gay Best Friend was not a total cliché but had an actual personality that didn't primarily consist of being a make-over diva. Hooray! ( )

Like this romance. Fun but kind of predictable, but that is how I like these. ( )

Super fun. One problem with being an (ex)lawyer is that reading books about things legal is miserable. The cure for that is reading books written by other (ex)lawyers. Don't get me wrong, this is not hyper realistic, the end of the legal part is silly, but it is filled with late nights buried under paper, and correct procedure. I will take it. Jack is dreamy (alpha males who read is my type) and Cameron is great, someone you want to be friends with (even if she went to Michigan instead of Michigan State). Speaking of which. Cameron's friends are great too. Also. A climactic event takes place in Traverse City, MI, my personal happy place. ( )

3.5 stars ( )
