This was SO bad and what frustrates me is that IT DIDN’T HAVE TO BE. The overall story could be good (not great, not groundbreaking, but fun and entertaining), but the editing was so lazy. Read my notes to get a glance at what I mean.
There are two main things that took away any enjoyment I could get from the story. First, DIALOG. Or the lack of it. There’s barely any dialog in this novella. Most communications are described instead of shown. The dialog that’s actually present in the page is stilted and hard to follow. A good editor would’ve pointed out the lack of dialog to the author. It’s the main tool authors have to show the reader who the characters are. This story, though, completely misused it and the results are underwhelming characters who we don’t know and, frankly, couldn’t care less about.
The second issue I had with this was pacing. I would get lost in what was happening and when it was happening because it would feel like everything was happening at the same time. And, for such a short story, it managed to drag at some points. (Small pet peeve, but everything happened so quickly in this story??? It was almost ridiculous. You submit something to the court on Wednesday night and magically have a court appointment for the next day? On a civil case with no real sense of urgency? Excuse me???? In THIS America????).
There were other details that bugged me (inaccurate legal issues/defenses, strange relationship development, incredibly one dimensional characters), but almost all of them could be solved by one thing: a competent editor. A good editor would’ve pointed out all the “telling not showing” happening through the story. A good editor would’ve suggested more dialog and less descriptions of dialogues. A good editor would’ve caught on the lack of structure in both plot and sentences/paragraphs. A good editor would’ve asked the author to research a little more if they wanted to talk about legal issues. This could’ve been prevented by having someone revise the story more than once. As it is, this feels like something someone typed out in a few days, read once to fix some grammar and decided it was ready to publish.

Michelle is a baker and owns Sweet Felicities Bakery. She receives an eviction notice stating she hasn’t paid rent in two months. Her best friend Lily happens to be there and takes Michelle to see her brother, Ethan who is a lawyer. There is an instant attraction between the two but neither acknowledges it because they are lawyer and client. Michelle is relieved that Ethan will represent her. Will they figure out why the landlord is trying to evict Michelle? Will they explore their attraction to each other? Is Ethan really attracted to Michelle or is he just being nice? Will the attraction grow or it is just a passing fancy?

Michelle is in a tizzy, she received an eviction notice for her bakery and does not understand why. Good thing her best friend Lily is there finalizing her wedding cake because she whisks Michelle away to her lawyer brother. Ethan gets Michelle to explain everything and gets to work. The faster he wins her case, the faster he can make her his.
This was a wonderful little instant attraction novelette with the promise of more from our supporting characters.

Michelle gets an eviction notice of her bakery. She is furious. Her best friend Lily suggests that she hire her brother, Ethan. Ethan is attracted to Michelle. However, he can't act on his feelings because of client attorney confidentiality. Once he is done being her lawyer, nothing will stop him from claiming Michelle.

I really enjoyed this book. If you want a slow burn romance, then this is the book for you. The Sparks fly for the 2 main characters Michelle and Ethan. I love Ethan's work ethics. How his main concern is being her lawyer, but when the job is done there's nothing holding him back. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I recommend this book ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

There is NO DDlg or age play in this story. At all. Misleading title description. The H is older, but not by much and that doesn't really make a difference. She does not have any Little actions.
There is Instalove. There would have to be as the "book" is only 47 pages long. More of a short story, in my opinion. Glad I used KU and didn't pay for it.

There was no “Daddy” plot and age play didn’t make an appearance. A little confused over this rushed storyline that doesn’t match the description.
