Her apartment is barren and she has only one indulgence, a collection of expensive shoes. She devotes almost her whole life to work. Her work life is stressful and the (male) partners who run the firm aren’t sensitive to a woman’s position in such an environment, to say the least.īut Gemma is determined to change the system from the inside and make the firm and the cases it takes on more equitable to women. Gemma was burned once dating another lawyer at a firm where she worked, and her dad, also a lawyer, was a terrible husband and father. Eventually they start having sex but Gemma won’t allow it to become anything more serious. Gemma has an antagonism to Ben because she believes he stole one of her clients almost as soon as he joined the firm, but then they are assigned to work on a work discrimination case together and her attraction to him becomes difficult to resist. Gemma and Ben work in the same law firm and are competing to be made partner–shades of Julie James’s book Practice Makes Perfect, except this one is better. Book three is my favorite, however, so I wanted to write a full-length review for it.
Last week I reviewed the first two books in your series of contemporary romances, The Devils, in one of my “What Janine is Reading” posts.
