I blink. “Arrested?” It has to be a mistake. Ben is too smart for that. “He hit some guy at the party,” she says, “and the guy is a friend of Fields’. He won’t even explain why he did it. All hell is breaking loose.” I stare at her, speechless." Technicalities aside, both Samantha Brentmoor and Elizabeth O'Roark made it into my list of favorites, this week, and The Devils series is hands down becoming one of my favorites.

No details on heroines sexual history except her last relationship ended approx 5 years before this book. Not much of details on hero's except he dates and sleeps around (not as much as the first hero in the first book tho). But he was supposedly in love with her for two years and was still dating/sleeping with ows. No deets if heroine was except she never dates.Ben-Stealer of Clients, Evicter of Homeless Women, Nemesis. Sitting across from me every damn Monday with his lovely, smug smile and his too-perfect teeth, the living symbol of everything I hate. Even once the tension snaps and things get a little more physical, the always present anger and "hatred" toward each other doesn't disappear right away. But when they start spending more time together, Ben and Gemma both realize how wrong they may have been about each other.

The plot wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be, but it was okay. There was some subplot about a case they were working on together, a rivalry to become a partner at the company they worked for and some short chapters about her ex partner which was a total douchebag. A big part of this plot was Gemma's experience as a female attorney in a very male dominated work space. So there is a lot about her personal journey dealing with sexual harassment, being overlooked for promotions, etc. I loved Ben's protectiveness but overall understanding that she can stand on her own two feet.Give it a talented writer such as O'Roark and make it more sophisticated and with two likeable main characters instead of minus one.

Separation: Very small They are separated very shortly (a day?), but there was no mention or suggestion of other partners during this time. Mom, how the hell did you meet Ben?” “I heard someone outside this morning, so I went to the window and there he was, shoveling my path, wearing a suit." I loved their banter so much. It had me smiling throughout the whole book. The tension was so delicious and I couldn’t wait for them to finally act on their attraction 🤭. When they finally did, it was AMAZING 😮‍💨. There were several options that could have been pursued in which she could have had more agency but... none of those happened. The hero is the one who saves her. In pretty much every aspect. Not one SINGLE thing she does helps herself.audiobook) I have mixed feelings. I loved this book a whole lot, until the very end. Warning, it’ll get a bit spoilery near the end, but I can’t explain my feelings without those little spoilers. Only you would try to make that sound like a flaw,” he mutters. “What a fun night out you must be.” I caught myself screaming, crying, sweating, the best banter I've read in MONTHS, the best sex scenes, the BEST DIRTY TALK. The heroine had a lot of talk about the changes she was going to make and her goals to join the "boys club" and make a change. She fully believes she can only make a change by being a partner at this law firm that has NO interest in her attaining that place. In fact, they want her to service certain clients who want that from me. Incredible, inspirational, original, never done before, characters that haven't left my mind IN DAYS and I have finished this book a week ago. I still can't stop thinking about them, about this story, about their connection, about the ending.
