Case Closed

by Alexa Riley

Scout is terrified of love. Well, more specifically she's terrified to fall so hard she can't think straight. That's what it feels like when she's with Taylor, so of course she's going to run in the other direction. In an attempt to cure herself of all those emotions, she goes on a blind date with someone that's the opposite of Taylor in every way. But when the man himself shows up and saves her from the worst date ever, how is she supposed to be angry?

Taylor knows that two things in life are certain. One, that he's loved Scout since the moment he laid eyes on her. And second, that she loves pissing him off. As soon as Scout quits pretending she doesn't love him back, they can get on with their happily ever after. Until then, he's not going to make it easy on her.

Love and Lawyers break all the rules when three best friends find their forever. Come along with us as we throw order out of the courtroom and leave judgement at the door.

Leí una Scout temerosa de volver a repetir el patrón materno y que aunque sabía que Taylor le gustaba también le daba miedo que al terminar la persecución que cuando ella cediera por fin a sus sentimientos él terminará abandonandola .
Aunque Taylor estaba decidido a demostrarle que le quería y cada vez le demostró cuan profundamente enamorado estaba de ella 💗
Me encantó la conclusión que se le dio a esta serie de cuatro libros . Quedé enamorada 😍 🥰

I liked the beginning of this very short story, but the ending felt rushed.

Scout and Taylor had great chemistry, but I didn't see enough of them just being together to make their love proclamations believable. But, it's definitely a sexy read.
