Women’s Fiction

Date Published: October 21, 2014

SYNOPSIS:

Taylor Williams didn’t grow up with the loving parents, white picket fence, and a dog. She’s struggled to get where she is and knows that with all she’s endured, life can only get better. At 28 years old, she hails as one of the country’s top divorce lawyers and is ready to slow down and start a family with her husband. The only problem is he shuts her out and has treated her like everything but a wife since the night he came across her and his boss in a compromising situation. In spite of her innocence, she’s determined to make it up to him.

Isaac Warren is bad business; the kind of bad business that requires focus and determination in order to stay alive. It’s also the kind that caused him to shut himself off from serious relationships after the brutal murder of his fiancé three years ago. Now his cold exterior keeps him at bay from everyone except those he considers family and right now that list doesn’t have room for anything more than the occasional tryst and nothing more, especially not with the highly acclaimed lawyer he’s accidentally stumbled upon.

REVIEW:

I love reading a book about a powerful women who made a name for herself even when she was dealt such a shitty card growing up. She proved everyone wrong and become a very successful lawyer that everyone knew. The story line was the same like most books I’ve read but also had it’s own twist to make it unique. I liked Taylor right off the bat and felt protective over her and wanted to see her happy. All of the other characters played great parts in this book and whether they were apart of the good guys or bad guys everyone caught your attention and made you want to know more about them. One thing that did confuse me at the very beginning of the book was Blake. This is Taylors best friend. It’s a girl!! (I love boy names for girls) but when I first read the chapter she is in I thought she was a boy!!! Once I figured it out it I had to laugh! This book will leave you wanting more on the other characters. I would love it if LaShanta wrote about Blake because she ended, well pretty much the whole book was a hot mess! And all of her drama would make for a great book! I give this book 4.5 stars
