    About this ebook

    There are only two things Sophie Reid doesn’t do: lawyers and sex. When sexy lawyer Ryan Becker stumbles into her life, her first two thoughts are “no,” and “definitely no.” After Sophie and Ryan rescue a dog from certain death on the Hollywood Freeway, they share one smoldering kiss. Sophie knows a potential train wreck when she sees it and leaves the dog and Ryan at the pound knowing she’ll never see either of them again.

    Poor kid turned corporate attorney, Ryan vowed he’d get an education, succeed, and be welcomed in the front door of the most stately homes in Beverly Hills. Now that his career is on an upward trajectory, he is ready to settle down. Unfortunately, the women he has been meeting haven’t set his heart racing. Enter: Sophie.

    A master of persuasion by profession, Ryan convinces Sophie to pursue their undeniable mutual attraction. But Ryan’s quest to be a success at the very occupation she reviles rankles her.

    When a Hollywood union strikes, Ryan and Sophie find themselves on opposite sides of the bargaining table. Can their sparks in the bedroom overcome their standoff in the boardroom?

    • 4/5
      This delightful story was a gift to me from the author through Library Thing. I had no idea what to expect and thoroughly enjoyed the story of Ryan the upwardly mobile lawyer and Sophie the makeup artist who left her wealthy parents behind to be a bit of a rebel. The story starts with a dog chase on the freeway, moves to adoption of the dog and then becomes a romance with Sophie and Ryan eventually on opposite sides of a bargaining table during a labor dispute. How love overcomes all and how Ryan and Sophie learn more about themselves throughout this book make it a keeper.
    • 3/5
      Ryan & Sophie met during a traffic shut down of an expressway caused by a run-away dog. The believable and engaging characters struggled with real life situations/issues associated with relationships. They were able to work through and resolve their problems and ended up together.
    • 2/5
      This was a fair book. The dog Sasha was adorable. . .she should have been the main character.
    • 5/5
      a fun easy read. i loved the chemistry between the main characters.
