My Review 2.5 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I understand that this is her first contemporary romance from an author that has typically written historical romance.
This was an ok book, but the writing fell a little flat for me. There is a lot of lawyer talk which seemed to be more of the story than the romance between Family Lawyer Trent Knightley and the new hire Hannah Stark.
Hannah is a single mum who grew up in the foster care system and has moved to a new area where her friend lives and is starting her first full time job as a Lawyer.
Trent works in a firm with his brothers, each working in their specialist area, he is also a single dad. Trent works in Family Law and with a colleague off for early maternity leave. Hannah is moved from the area she was going to work in to the family law side, which has bad memories for her.
The way Hannah speaks made me feel like she was cut off from relating from other people, almost as if she were Autistic. Her responses seemed almost robotic and cold, but that could be by trying to cope and grow up in a system where she felt unwanted.
There are no great surprises in this book, you can practically see everything coming, but the general story is good, even with the baddie making waves for Hannah.
