review 1: So I did something that I rarely do these days when I am purchasing the book - I decided to try completely new to me author without reviews or recommendations. I mean, I was eyeing his first book but reviews completely discouraged me in the past, so when I saw he wrote a new one and about lawyers, I decided to actually give this one a chance.Clearly this book was not for me. Okay, the beginning was entertaining - completely unbelievable in the eye rolling kind of way, but entertaining as in some of romantic comedies of the 80s/90s. Seriously, an unknown extra intern at law firm? Right.But when our characters meet - oh dear. Of course instant attraction hits them over the head. I hated you, now I love you comes way too fast for my taste. The owner of the law firm doing all ... moreof this for the intern? Made him look like controlling, Sean accepting all these things even though he really disliked his boss? Made Sean look like a "plot zombie" (not my term, but I am sure you can figure out what that means) and kind of crazy to me. You really distrust and dislike this man, yeah Sean? But you accept his orders for you to get out of your apartment and for him to order a new one and buy furniture for you all in the same breath pretty much?And let's not forget about what counted for the reason for break up between them, somebody please make me feel like I have not read those pages.And let's not forget Brittany - not just evil, but completely irrational one.One last question - why does almost every character in this book needs his own POV? Why? It gave me a headache.
review 2: 2 stars. This started out good for me, but lost me along the way. I just couldn't understand the actions of the characters. Coleman was too domineering (and not in the fun way) and Sean just kept going back and forth. One scene he can't wait to be away from Coleman and be alone and in the next they are having drinks and he's getting drunk with him. (huh?) Did have a great cover, unfortunately I can't really recommend this one. less

Meh. There was a decent premise but the execution of the story left a lot to be desired.
