I liked the writing but the premise was a bit played out of me. In this type of genre you have be way above the rest. Don’t get me wrong, I liked it, it just didn’t have the “wow” factor for me.
It’s a long story but it felt like it had a bit more detail than I necessary, I found myself drifting a couple of times. This is book three in the series, though I haven’t read the other two, yet. The characters were good and I had the chance to get to know them. I loved how they went back and forth; both Rex and Charlotte have a cutting wit.
Charlotte had all the confidence in the world. I loved how she stood up to the judge that had called her in her chambers. She didn’t however have a lot of confidence in herself as a woman. It was enjoyable to watch her grow into a stronger woman outside the courtroom.
There are a couple of tense moments, a bit of a mystery, and some lovely sexy playtime. All around it was a good read.
