At the powerhouse law firm of Knight & Payne, winning comes first and ethics a distant second. Leary Michaels uses her female charms to daze opponents, and it’s always worked well—until now. On her most personal case yet, she finds herself going up against a defense attorney just as skilled, shameless, and seductive as she is.
Reeve Holloway has never met a woman as sure of her own sexuality, or as ruthless in wielding it, as Leary is. But he won’t be toyed with. What Leary starts, he’ll finish—in the courtroom, the bedroom, or any-damn-place he wants. The sex is uninhibited, electrifying, and absolutely against the rules. Reeve’s job is to ruin Leary’s case…even if it destroys her in the process and costs him the woman he’s come to love.
This and all my other reviews are originally posted on my blog (un)Conventional Bookviews*I received a free ARC of Friction from Moonlake Romance via Netgalley in exchange of an honest and unbiased review*
Who knew legal-talk could be so hot? Friction has a lot of depth, characters I really enjoyed, and a case that made my heart lurch for the plaintiff.
I didn't really know what to expect when I picked up Friction, apart from the fact that I usually love Ms. Bennett's writing, and thought I'd enjoy this story of hers as well. And I sure did enjoy it! It's a fast-paced story, with a female lead who knows what she wants, and who is definitely willing to do what it takes to get that. Leary was both very smart and in touch with her feminine side. Using her sex appeal to further her clients' agenda did not bother her, and because she was a lawyer fighting against big corporations, it was very easy to cheer her on!
