Veena’s review of Illegally Yours (Laws of Attraction, Book 2) by Kate Meader
Contemporary Romance published by Loveswept 22 Jan 19
Sexy, scintillating, full of heart and emotional depth, this latest romance from Ms. Meader makes a cozy read you wish would never end.
A whiskey tasting party is where it all begins, and Lucas Wright’s comments on the whiskies, when he’s all in head first, pronouncing the color as “piss” – and if you’re not sure what that means, he has no qualms about following it up to pronounce “yourine.” If that isn’t enough to get your juices going, then Lucas trying to send business Trinity’s way by introducing him to a lawyer friend gets him doused in a glass of beer. He might’ve made it seem like he was propositioning for a threesome.
So Trinity goes to the same school my mama and sisters went to because she has to unzip her front and retrieve her business card from her bra. Lucas, not to be outdone, attempts to grab his own business card from his own secret purse. OMG! and that’s probably all in the first five pages. It’s Kate Meader, so, dear readers, settle in and get comfortable, ’cause you’re not getting up until it’s all gone.
Trinity’s sister is in the midst of an ugly divorce and her lawyer is getting the rough end of her husband’s shark of an attorney, so Trinity decides to step out on the wild side and use a favor to bring in the heavy guns. Consequently, she goes to Max Henderson’s office, only to end up with Lucas. Yes, you’ve guessed it – he’s the shark and thanks to the possible conflict of interest, sexual innuendo, and hopes for more come to a crashing halt.
Certainly the universe is not happy to keep them apart, so when Trinity shows up at her nephew’s soccer practice, who should be the coach but Lucas, with his own admiration brigade, who show up with their wine and folding chairs ready to watch the show.
It’s not all rolling in the dirt laughing. Both Trinity and Lucas have a significant amount of baggage, but Lucas’s story, when it comes to light, is heart breaking. I laughed, I cried, and kept my fingers crossed and my head down, wishing the story would go on, especially with the cute way it ends. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series and revisit all the wonderful characters I’ve had the pleasure to meet so far.
Grade: A
Summary:
Rule #1: Never fall for your client.
Rule #2: Never fall for your client’s fiercely protective, smoking hot sister-in-law.I’m the kind of guy who believes that everyone deserves the best legal representation money can buy—which just so happens to be me, Lucas Wright. Give me your henpecked, your cuckolded, your irreconcilable differences yearning to break free! And if you’re the bad guy in your marriage, that’s cool too. Your green is as good as anyone’s.
Tell that to Trinity Jones. It’s my job to destroy her sister—the soon-to-be ex-wife of my a-hole of a client—and Trinity’s “big sis” instincts are dialed up to the max. I admire that. I admire her. But she won’t stop me from representing my client to the best of my ability.
Not even if my chemistry with Trinity is undeniable. Not even if we can’t keep our hands off each other. Not even if she injects life into a heart assumed to be long dead.
Because when faced with a choice between love and duty, the job will always win—or at least that’s what I thought before I met Trinity . . . and suddenly conflict of interest never felt so right.
