Two
attorneys on opposite sides of the courtroom. Two attorneys always competing,
always trying to win. Ashley and Logan had fire in the courtroom, but could
that fire spark something between them?
For as long
as Ashley could remember, she's had to prove her dedication, tenacity, and
knowledge to get to where she's at. Not like Logan, who's had everything handed
to him. Ever since her mother gave up her life to raise her and her sister, she
vowed to study, work hard, and stabilize financial independence so as not to
rely on any man to take care of her.
But when she
and Logan are hired by the same firm and are forced to work together, things
heat up. With such tension and competition between them, they just get under
each other's skin. After the probationary period ends, who will stay? Well, the
mean secretary in the office wasn't making it any easier for Ashley. Why was it
that only her case files were conveniently "misplaced?" Was she that
clueless...or was she trying to get her fired? Ashley would have to work harder
for sure to battle the sexist, corporate politics.
I thought
this was pretty good. I liked Ashley's strong, independent streak, which seems
to be off-putting and intimidating to men (something I can relate to, btw.) But
Logan wasn't afraid of her fire; in fact, he welcomed it. Ashley has had a
crush on Logan from the first day she met him, but when she realized what he a
charmer he was, she kept him at a distance. The two challenged each other. But
once she actually took the time to get to know him, she realized what a nice
guy he really was. Throughout this story, Ashley relives her past break-up,
speculates on her emerging feelings for Logan, questions what she really wants
in life, and wonders if she's made any false assumptions about others and
herself.
A good read!
