Katerina Dawson knows exactly what she wants from life. And as the new associate at the top law firm in the city, she’s ready to live out her dreams of becoming a criminal lawyer. But going on coffee runs and babysitting kids during the day was definitely not what she had in mind. She knows that anyone else would kill to be in her shoes, but she has to draw the line somewhere. That’s easier said than done, though, when Kat has to confront her handsome boss…Tristan Channing and Jaxon Bentley run a successful law firm together and the two partners couldn’t be busier right now. When Jaxon suddenly takes a leave of absence, Tristan begrudgingly assumes responsibility of the new associate, the hot new associate, who has curves for days. Needing to keep his distance from her, Tristan sends Kat on needless errands and has her doing work even an intern wouldn’t touch, like picking up his kids. But his plan backfires when he sees his children grow attached to Kat and sees her getting comfortable in his home. It triggers something deep within him, and it feels right to have her there. Will Tristan be able to keep his work and personal lives separate, or will he find that his heart holds the final verdict?
4 Easy Read Stars
Breaching the Contract is a standalone and is part of the
Conflict of Interest Series by Chantal Fernando. I’ve only read Chantal’s MC
and heavier books, so I was curious to see how her lighter works would be.
I woke up at 3AM and I couldn’t sleep and decided to give
this book a go. To my surprise, it hit all the right notes. I was engaged, it
was light, there was a single dad (and everyone knows I love a good single
parent book) and it was really easy to read. I read it in two hours in the dead
of the night and I’m so glad I picked up this book.
I love a good office romance read and this one is a good
enemy to lovers one. Kate works for a law firm. Tristan is one of the managing
partners of the firm. I’m a fan of lawyer books and I was a little disappointed
that there wasn’t a lot of lawyer speak. I get it, it’s kind of hard to navigate
through that world, but I was looking for hardcore action. However, the tension
between Kate and Tristan was really good.
I liked that Kate works hard and wants to make something of
herself and I like Tristan because he was a hard boss that made Kate do simple
tasks like get his coffee. I’m not too
sure how accurate the book is, it’s hard to believe that a girl would be
working on cases with a partner right out of law school and it’s hard to
believe the firm only has like 4 employees, I really do hope the future books
will add more associates and there’s a little more world building.
The book is super short and sweet and I couldn’t ask for
anything more. I love simple reads that hit all the right spots. I can
understand how there wasn’t much lawyer talk and super deep character development.
I felt like you got just enough of the characters to be sucked into the story,
but not bored with anything too fluffy.
I love the little kids and I’m happy they were good kids. I’m
never a fan of the bratty kids. I’m not too sure how accurate that Tristan
would be 30-ish with his kids. The age was never mentioned, but it would mean
he would have to have them around law school. I think it’s because my brother
in law is a lawyer and all the partners at his firm are old farts.
Overall, I’m all for the light-hearted books (usually it’s
not my cuppa) but this one was pretty good.
