About this ebook

Rule #1: Never fall for your client.
Rule #2: Never fall for your client’s fiercely protective, smoking hot sister-in-law.

I’m the kind of guy who believes that everyone deserves the best legal representation money can buy—which just so happens to be me, Lucas Wright. Give me your henpecked, your cuckolded, your irreconcilable differences yearning to break free! And if you’re the bad guy in your marriage, that’s cool too. Your green is as good as anyone’s.

Tell that to Trinity Jones. It’s my job to destroy her sister—the soon-to-be ex-wife of my a-hole of a client—and Trinity’s “big sis” instincts are dialed up to the max. I admire that. I admire her. But she won’t stop me from representing my client to the best of my ability.

Not even if my chemistry with Trinity is undeniable. Not even if we can’t keep our hands off each other. Not even if she injects life into a heart assumed to be long dead.
 
Because when faced with a choice between love and duty, the job will always win—or at least that’s what I thought before I met Trinity . . . and suddenly conflict of interest never felt so right.

Ratings and reviews

*sigh* Lucas.... When I first met him in Down with Love, I wanted to know everything about him. A charming Brit, yes please!!! I loved Lucas but who I loved even more, Trinity. She's so amazingly strong and loyal to her family. This book was an interesting spin on enemies to lovers. Lucas represents Trinity's soon to be ex brother in law and even though their chemistry is off the charts, their relationship is totally forbidden. This book was a lot heavier and angsty than I was expecting it to be but this story was fantastic. I loved all of the layers of Lucas and Trinity. There's so much more to him than the charming British funny guy and more to her than the loyal whiskey sommelier. I'm loving this series and I can't wait for the next one!! *This is my voluntary review of an advanced reader copy*

What a great start to this new series from Kate. Always a one click writer for me. And what a crazy tale between a lawyer who needs to win, a liquor slinging expert who takes his fancy and her big sister who is in the midst of a divorce. The soon to be ex's attorney is? You guessed it. We watch this tale unfold with plenty of laughs and I wanted to smack him moments. A great storyline, although a little distracting for me by the sister. Nonetheless a great read. Can't wait for the next book! arc from Loveswept for an honest review

Lucas, considered to be one of the best divorce attorneys around, is relaxing with his coworkers and friends at the local bar when he meets Trinity. Trinity is their sommelier for the evening. Lucas thinks Trinity’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever met, but makes an a** of himself. Trinity, although she thinks he’s handsome and sexy, also thinks he’s a jerk. Although he makes her heart race, family comes first. Her younger sister, niece, and nephew are all she cares about and she doesn’t have time for a relationship. Lucas’ past has had a major impact on his life. It’s the driving force behind his chosen career. Lucas specializes in representing fathers who want custody of their children in a divorce. As a product of a time where women were given custody of their children automatically, Lucas represents fathers who may truly be the better custodial parent. When Trinity approaches him concerning her sister’s divorce, Lucas realizes there’s a conflict of interest. He can’t pursue Trinity as he represents her brother in law. All good things... This novel has all the “feels”. It’s a story about forgiveness, overcoming your past so you can move forward with your future, and tough love. Trinity makes so many sacrifices and is selfless in ALL decisions concerning her family, often to her detriment. She lives for her sister, not herself. Although I believe family is extremely important, I think there’s a point that you have to let go. Trinity has a hard time doing this. Lucas lets his past rule his future decisions. In Trinity he sees a life he’s always wished he could have, but is too stubborn to work for it. Can Lucas and Trinity get out of their heads long enough to pursue happiness? I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.
