I crashed and burned before the most important interview of my life…
Yes, literally.
I rammed my crappy Honda into the back of a custom black McLaren, and the sexy bastard who owned it was far from amused.
Especially when I abandoned him at the fiery scene with an “I.O.U.,” twenty dollars, and a pack of glow-in-the-dark condoms as payment. (I’m too broke to afford car insurance.)
I managed to make it to my interview with a few seconds to spare, but the partner I was expecting to meet wasn’t there.
Instead, it was the unforgettable guy I’d just crashed into: Mr. Damien Carter. And his first question–‘Do you know that running away from the scene of an accident is a crime?’–convinced me that I was not getting this job.
Alas, Hamilton & Associates called me back, and I slowly realized that there are far more coincidences between me and my new boss.
Even though this grumpy bastard only utters demands and threats to me…
His firm is a place straight out of The Godfather, nothing like “the good guys on the right side of the law” on the promotional billboards. Its walls hold secrets, the clients are guilty as charged, and Damien Carter is everything wrong with the legal system.
Well, I thought that until we began a hate-love affair like no other, and I discovered his biggest secret of all…
This author is relatively new to me, but I adore her unique voice. Her stories are chaotic and it’s perfect for her characters and their stories. Elizabeth and Damien’s story is funny at times and more emotional at others, and I loved it. She’s working for the lawyer who swore he wouldn’t hire her. She needs this job but it’s not easy. He’s a workaholic insomniac who makes insane demands on his employees and she hasn’t been honest with the firm about anything. Elizabeth has a lot of secrets, big and small, which will probably be her undoing.
Damien hates that he’s desperately attracted to this infuriating siren. Everything about her drives him crazy and not in a good way. She’s lied and forged letters of recommendation, but why? She graduated at the top of her class so it’s not to cover up poor academic performance. These two are smoking hot together but their love-hate relationship adds some humor to the mix. I do wish we’d gotten more of their stories. This was a quick read and I would have loved to have even a few more pages detailing their secrets. We learned what those secrets are, but no context or background and I think it would have made it even better. That said, I still loved it. I’d like to thank the author and Candi Kane PR for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
