"A humorous contemporary romance"
Thirty-years old Cara Adams knows with her track record
and as the most senior associate, she is next in line for
partnership at the Detroit suburban law firm of
Saperstein, Underwood, Clark and Kielman. Cara has
followed her thirteen rules for success and believes she
has earned the privilege due to hard successful work. However, the office relationships tilt when her law school
enemy Mark Morgan returns to town as competition at her
law firm. Deep in her gut, Cara knows she lusts for Mark,
but refuses to repeat her "dumbing" down performance she
did at law school to attract him. Though they work
together on a critical case, Mark and Cara struggle to
ignore their attraction that is stronger than ever. She
rejects what is blossoming into love because she does not
trust him and he says no because he does not trust
relationships after observing his parents. Of course Cara
also has rule number fourteen to consider: "Follow your
heart". Fans of humorous contemporary romance with two
delightfully intelligent lead protagonists will enjoy this
replay tale. The story line contains
interesting "truisms' on single life in the city
especially in a law firm, but it is the conflict between
Mark and Cara that makes the plot move. Sub-genre fans
and the residents of Mount Olympus will enjoy this
charming story. Harriet Klausner
