I’m not the type of girl who picks up a man on a rooftop bar. Not the kind of girl who lets a man’s hands roam my body, discovering I have no panties on. Never the girl who has hours’ worth of o’s from a smoking-hot one-night stand. But Dominick makes it so easy to say yes. His body, his moves, and his oh-so-wicked tongue have me saying it over and over again. Yes, please. Yes, more. Yes, right there. He worships every inch of my body, and I’m still sore the next morning when I meet him again. This time, he’s Mr. Dalton, my sister’s cutthroat entertainment lawyer. And he has a proposition for me. He wants to make me famous. Of course, that means sharing a screen with my wildly jealous sister. It means giving up my career. It means the whole world will suddenly know everything about me. Which presents one catastrophic problem—Dominick doesn’t date famous people. So, do I take a chance at becoming a Hollywood star, or do I pass up the opportunity to be with the man who gave me a taste of forever?

After a bit of a rough start, where I just had to get used to the ‘male talk’ a bit, I soon was addicted to this read. We read about Dominick, an acclaimed lifelong bachelor who is used to spending only one night with a woman. And these women are never his clients. But from the moment he lays eyes on Kendall, things change for him. Kendall is unlike any woman he has met, and somehow he can’t stop thinking of her.

Kendall has moved to L.A. to work for her sister. She isn’t looking for love or anything other than a fun evening. But when she meets Dominick, all she wants to do is be with him. But Kendall isn’t the one night stand kind of girl, and Dominick isn’t the relationship kind of guy. But there is an attraction between them that can’t be denied, and soon sparks are flying of the pages.

The setting of this book is the Hollywood scene. This is something I have always loved to read about in a romance novel. There is just something magical about reading about the Hollywood life. And in ‘The Lawyer’ we definitely read about the down side of Hollywood life. Combine that with some very sexy, romantic, intense writing and you have a great book which I couldn’t put down.

The two main characters, where very different from each other, but I still loved them both. Kendall was just this kind, sweet, hardworking girl who had a big heart. And Dominick, although very tough on the outside, got super sweet and romantic with Kendall. It definitely made me swoon.

This being a Erotic Romance, there where a lot of steamy moments. I could have done with a bit less of those, but in the end it worked for this story. They were fun, don’t get me wrong. But there where a lot of these moments.. and I don’t really am a fan of the language Dominick used at times. Luckily, I loved the story enough to look past that bit.

‘The Lawyer’ is a very sexy, romantic book that I loved from the beginning. And I definitely will need to read about these other Dalton brothers as well.
