Sawyer Bennett is a very skillful writer and this book is well written, well plotted, and of course hot-- I liked it better, actually, than Ryker, her hockey romance novel out at the same time because the characters were more interesting and more unusual. Here Leary is an ambitious and high achieving lawyer who is perfectly comfortable using seduction to win cases but she's not a shark, surprisingly. In fact, she's played as the softy in this book, the one with high moral standards about "doing the right thing." It's a contradiction that isn't really explored fully but it still makes the book memorable and engaging. Her angst about Reeve's ethics is a bit overdone, maybe (because surely a professional like her would understand his position?) but it makes for sexy high drama. Recommended for readers who like alpha female heroines--
