Attractive Nuisance (Legally in Love Book 1) by Jennifer Gr

[KApples1746]

Camilla Sweeten is a very smart, hardworking, accomplished attorney. She works long hours and doesn’t know the meaning of play. Her boss has a weird sense of fun, and requires the firm to camp outs every year. All attorneys and staff must be present with their significant others and families. One year Camilla was so desperate and embarrassed to go alone she hires some guy she met at the laundromat to pretend to be her boyfriend. This year Camilla has no plans to go whatsoever, then comes good looking, sweet-talking, and charismatic Zane. An attorney that has transferred into their firm and has caught Camilla’s attention, so much so that she stops mid-sentence in the middle of closing arguments when he walks into the room. Ordered to work together to bring down the “Beemer Bandit”, Camilla finds her walls and structured life is beginning to crumble. Zane is going to win this case and her heart if he has any say.

I enjoyed the writing style, but the characters had me extremely annoyed. An accomplished attorney wouldn’t stop mid-sentence and get tongue tied over just the looks of a person in the middle of court. Not only is Zane so good looking that Camilla becomes a tongue-tied idiot, he also can charm the pants off all juries and judges without lifting a finger to research what the case is about. It annoys me that Camilla is so scared of having children at her “old age” that I’m extremely surprised that she’s so ancient at the age of 27. I would be expecting that fear with someone in their late 30’s not there 20’s. What grown man changes jobs just to get the chance to meet a woman? I just couldn’t enjoy this book. I know it’s not reality and it’s a work of fiction, but I just couldn’t believe the characters and their actions.
