La legge del peccato

by Katherine Garbera

Un affare legale?

L'assistente procuratore distrettuale Sophia Deltonio si trova a dover affrontare, per una controversia legale, l'attraente avvocato Mitch Hollaran, suo ex. In tutta la Florida non si parla d'altro che di questo processo scandaloso, ma non è tanto il clamore che si è sviluppato intorno al caso a turbare Sophia, quanto il calore esplosivo che si è sprigionato nuovamente tra lei e Mitch.

O relazione passionale?

Sophia per cercare di ritrovare un po' di serenità emotiva propone un patto a Mitch: chi perderà il processo farà da schiavo d'amore all'altro per un intero finesettimana. Potrà chiedere qualsiasi cosa e soprattutto soddisfare tutte quelle fantasie che sono rimaste sepolte nei più reconditi meandri della mente.

Readable and entertaining romance
3 stars

Assistant District Attorney Sophia Deltonio is determined to work her way to the top and earn the promotion that the office is abuzz about. To do so, she needs to win a high profile case that is the talk of the town. And she's squaring off against hotshot lawyer and ex-lover Mitch Halloran.

Ten years ago, Sophia broke Mitch's heart when she betrayed him in order to get into a prestigious law firm. Now, not only does Mitch want to win the case, he desperately wants revenge against Sophia.

So the pair make a bet - whoever wins the case gets the other as a sex slave for a whole weekend. But the pair will soon find out that it's not revenge that's so sweet and perhaps one hot weekend isn't nearly enough.

This was essentially a fun, interesting story that starts off as a quest for revenge but quickly turns into one of love. Both Sophia and Mitch were interesting characters and both were believable and relatable. The chemistry was perhaps not scorching hot but still produced a good enough sizzle for a Blaze romance.

The reason I gave this book 3 stars was that it didn't really grip me or thrill me from beginning to end. It was interesting, very readable and easy to finish but it didn't really have that emotional oomph that would have made it a great story. Fine for a lazy afternoon read, this isn't a keeper for me but I will still look for other books by Katherine Garbera in the future.

Steamy read featuring two lawyers. Good book for a summer afternoon read.

While well written I just felt kind of rushed in the story and the characters had too much left untold in my opinion.
