Danica Pierce has one great love in her life: work. As one of the top divorce lawyers in Austin, Danica lets her caseload keep her warm at night and has no problem being married to her job, not when love only ends in hurt. When the biggest case of her career gives her a shot at making partner, it seems like nothing could possibly stand in her way…except for her infuriating secret: she’s sleeping with the enemy. Ezra Hart is known for charming his way in and out of a courtroom. In the matter of winning Danica Pierce’s heart, however, he’s been far less successful. With her verdict to keep things purely physical with no chance of appeal, Ezra struggles to show Danica he’s more than the insufferable playboy she’s pegged him to be, especially since they find themselves on opposing sides of Danica’s most important case to date. While Dani and Ezra battle it out in the courtroom, the real trial is the one happening between them. When Dani realizes that everything she knows of Ezra might be hearsay, and that she’s not the only one with emotional baggage, she must choose between her fear of trusting again and the feelings blossoming between her and the man she thought was her worst enemy.
I love me some Lana Ferguson and this one did not disappoint! Powerhouse of steamy romance is back with my favorite guilty pleasure, the ultimate trope romance authors love to gift us: enemies to lovers! This trope is my absolute kryptonite, impossible to resist, and this book delivers a couple so electric, you can’t help but be hooked. I loved every second of this book! The banter, the tension, the sizzling romance, everything was chef’s kiss. Supporting characters Nate and Vera also stole the show with their witty and sexy exchanges. But of course, Ezra and Dani’s dynamic was the heart of the story, delivering the perfect blend of steam, romance, and emotional depth. Lana Ferguson never disappoints when it comes to balancing passion, sharp dialogue, and smartly written smut.
I rated this novel four stars. However perfect this book was, I did want a little more from the main characters. Specially how they started out. PLEASE write a bonus chapter on how they first started hooking up! I am dying for that!
