Another entertaining sapphic romance set in politics and the courtroom
Maggie Brown is a very reliable source for entertaining books. And this one is excellent - again. Set in the world of politics and later in the court room it‘s a two-for-one read. Add to this: hilarious, ice-queen melting, second chance with great side characters and set in Australia and it‘s the perfect sapphic romance with an interesting backstory.
The start was very amusing when stodgy senator Emery Moreton clashes with the (seemingly) carefree Maxine she has hired as a companion for an international summit.
But what can Emery do when Maxine at the same time charmes all the diplomats and the icy senator? Their affair ends with the summit. Turn the tables: Maxine is back in the court room after her hiatus where she did her sister a favor accompanying the senator. This is where both women clash again in a demanding court case.
I loved this storyline and I loved the surprising turn of events. The pages turned effortlessly and all too soon this well-rounded, entertaining read came to an end.

I received an ARC. The review is left voluntarily.

Political matters

Another great read from this author. Almost 2 stories in one, a lonely senator hiring an escort initially to deter annoying suitors at a conference in Canberra, we have Maxine the escort who is doing her sister a favour as she is actually a corporate lawyer, as they connect there's lots of witty banter and interesting characters as their relationship turns to romance 🔥 times ensue. There's a split as the story turns to a second chapter, very interesting court scenes when they re connect, the secret life is revealed very cleverly. I enjoyed this somewhat because I actually live in Canberra and see first hand the goings on in parliament here. There's a few inaccurate descriptions geographically but I'm just being pedantic, on the whole another enjoyable read and hea, nice to read something with mature intelligent characters.

Fabulous. Two smart women coming together as politician and escort in this clever book that has great chemistry and emotional depth. It's one of those rare books that stays with you after the last page.

Good book. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The leads were great, the plot enthralling and the supporting cast top notch. Well worth 5 stars.
