love is just camouflage
Attorney Olivia Gray is used to navigating complicated dynamics in the courtroom, but nothing could have prepared her for the emotional minefield Judge Jaime Lachlan brings into her life. What begins as a fiery affair quickly morphs into a battle between expectations and hidden desires. As their professional lives tangle with their personal, Olivia finds herself torn between what she wants and what is appropriate.
For Jaime, the walls she’s built around her heart have kept her safe, but they’ve also made her a spectator in her own life. Olivia’s warmth is a disruption she never expected, pulling her into something deeper than the physical connection she initially sought. But as their worlds collide, Jaime’s fear of emotional intimacy pushes them toward an inevitable breaking point.
love is just camouflage explores the intricate dance between vulnerability and control, as two women navigate the push and pull of desire, connection, and the fear of truly being seen. Against the backdrop of courtrooms, chance meetings, and quiet moments, Jaime and Olivia must decide whether their bond is fleeting or something worth fighting for.

Can they find common ground? A short but entertaining read that keeps your interest to the end. Plot is character-driven and certainly engages you as you hope for their HEA.

Easy to read book with a well written story
Two different types of people meet with plenty of indoor chemistry and trying to find the way to coexist outside the hotel rooms. Well written with explicit intimate scenes. However there isn’t enough depth and explanation of why the main characters react the way they do. I wanted a bit more about their personalities and life perspective

I enjoyed this.
What starts as a hook up between Olivia a lawyer and Jaime a judge when they find themselves at a conference, starts to turn into slightly more. Neither 'do' relationships but they each 'let slip' where they might be at a certain time and seem to have a casual 'understanding'. This is rocked when Olivia suggests they suspend their meeting for a month or so as she is due to appear before Jaime in court. This leads to an end to their arrangement.
Both then are bereft and appear to be experiencing a break up. From their non relationship.
Eventually they find their way back to each other.
There is a lot of sex in this book - which is after all a major component of the story. It's well written and considering the percentage of the book that is sex it has variety.

I liked this fairly short read. It had two highly intelligent and educated women as its MC’s and I usually love characters like that but for some reason, this didn’t quite work for me in the way that say, a book with characters by Ann MacMan, does. Some of the banter went over my head and given that I have a law degree and worked for many years as a solicitor, I’m not exactly an intellectual dunce. I liked a discussion that occurred between the characters regarding energy vampires and I understood Jaime a lot because I had a mother just like hers. But her inability to move past it (as I have and did) seemed somewhat immature and really rather sad. The book ends on a hopeful note but I didn’t feel a great deal of warmth at the end, as I wanted to…

Instantly fell…
In love with Sabrina Blaum’s ability to craft a superb story.
Jaime and Olivia are easily two of my favourite characters; I want so much more from them, about them, especially Jaime.
The style of writing is just captivating, breathtaking. I found myself drawn in from the first line, hooked and sunk by the end of the first page.
I’d give twice as many stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An enjoyable and hot book about two successful women who don’t usually do relationships until they met each other. It was too short for the appropriate time needed to believably develop their relationship based on their past experiences. But I liked it.
That scene with rain soaked Jaime is literally the story of the song ‘Memories’ by Conan Gray.

Five stars feels a bit too high for me but four stars just doesn't seem enough. There is something about this that just was really really good. I don't usually love novellas, or insta get together, because I like the slow building of a relationship and how characters interact. But this insta get together novella hit just right for me. Interesting and I was rooting for the MCs

interesting book
Not sure this is what I expected. I’ll say it’s a little on the dark side which might be unfair. Two women Jamie and Olivia start an affair with no stings. Jamie’s background makes it difficult for her to connect and Olivia has fallen for someone who appears not to be capable of wanting her. Having said that this was a very good book. Definitely worth reading.
