This was not instant love, which is good... but the developing events turned out to be predictable, but not enough for me to stop reading the book. Like as I've said, I had a great time reading the Dirty Rich Cinderella Story. However, I may have been a bit bummed out that despite the heroine has acquired outstanding scholastic achievements and deserves to be an intern and associate of the firm while determined to overcome the hurdle of financial struggles, she immediately got caught up with her growing feelings for him and I felt like her judgment got clouded due to her relationship with Cole Brooks. She may gotten whiny and annoying at some point- but not enough for me to hate her. Well, I really liked her in the beginning; now it's just... I can stand her character enough to finish the book.

The steamy scenes were... hot damn, if they can light up courtrooms- consider it done for bedrooms as well. (and any possible surface at their disposal) Crackling chemistry, professionally and in an intimate manner.

Moreover, did this have to be a short story? It felt like considerably short compared to the usual length in general and I swear I could have given a higher rating if the story wasn't rushed at all. I would've prefer to see more development, maybe a bit of more complications with the diva's case or even an issue of leaked information with Cole's trusted secretary back in France or maybe a more neck and neck confrontations between the law enforcement office against Cole's firm. To sum it up, I wanted more courtroom debates, sessions and law-related scenes and could've lessen on the two leading character's dilemma of actually being more than just fuck buddies. (Not that I'm complaining, but it would've balanced out more if there were less of these two conflicted with trust and going forward with their relationship)

Nevertheless, I like this book. I'll still recommend it.

I'm just sad that I did not get the same overall impact of the story as much as most readers did. On a lighter note, there are more books from this author to choose from, hopefully, this won't be the last I'll get the chance to indulge.
