Ms. James likes to write romances that feature lawyers, that factor into the story their busy lives, how they juggle their careers, how stressful their lives actually are trying to become a partner of their firm and of course scenes of the courtroom drama makes it all a more worthwhile read. This book is in no way an exception to this rule.

Funny, smart, fairly sexy, until it got down to the "girl gets boy" and instead being steamy, it was "and then they were naughty." What? What? That's considerably less steamy than the buildup. Thumbs down for the tame climax (pun intended), but otherwise a fun, mindless read.

This was hilarious!
I have read a lot of romance novels in my day, and I enjoy them for one simple reason: comedy with a strong dash of romance.
Although I am not a huge fan of actors being the main characters in my romance novels, this one pulled me in and I couldn't put the book down.
I really like Taylor as a main character because she is so strong. She doesn't cry or feel very feminine, but knows that her feminine side can be a useful tool and strength in the courtroom.
I also like Jason because he is very realistic. He starts off like the typical actor type who thinks that all women fawn after him and he leaves a trail of broken hearts wherever he goes, but as the story progresses Taylor sees him for who he really is, and that is what makes the story so interesting.
I did have some problems though. Jason has a good friend whose name is Jeremy. The problem isn't the friend, but the name of the friend. I think that having two characters with names that start with the same letter is a bit distracting. I have to remind myself sometimes that Taylor was interested in Jason, not Jeremy, because I kept mixing up the names in my head.
I also think that an interaction between David, Taylor's ex-fiance, and Jason would have been interesting. I also think that there should have been more involving Scott, Jason's acting rival, as he was important in moving the story along. I feel like his part wasn't needed except to bring Taylor to important events. The interaction between David and Jason would have been more interesting.
Overall, I liked the book and the characters, but felt like some characters needed to be deleted and others enhanced.

Okay, this book was just so freaking cute and it left me feeling ridiculously bubbly and happy.

Been on a Hollywood romance kick, for some reason, and hit this up for a re-read. Man, it's so cute. The sparks between the two of them... and the snappy banter!... love it all.
I have quibbles, of course. I felt like the "other contender" sub-plot kind of petered out, as did Daniel (the vengeful woman in me would just like to see both those guys get a kick to the junk, I think). But it honestly isn't anything that hurt the book. Really a lot of fun.

Yum. That is all. Plus I'd like to reiterate the need for a kick to the junk for Scott and Daniel.
Love.
