5 Smooches!
Synopsis
Jada McLean is about to get married in nine days, when she walks in on her fiancé in a little more than a compromising position. Days later, she’s on a trip that she intends to be relaxing and a prelude to her fresh start, when she runs into the rude, obnoxious, but gorgeous Jonathan Kole.
Jonathan Kole is San Francisco’s newest District Attorney. When he finds himself deeply attracted to a stunning beauty, he has no idea that she’s about to get into BIG trouble with the law—and he’ll be the one presiding over her trial. To make matters worse, his father is the lawyer representing her in the high-profile case.
When a series of events force them together over New Year’s weekend, Jonathan’s feelings and ethics will come into question, while Jada comes to terms with the fact that she is falling for the man that will be responsible for attempting to put her behind bars… Little do they know, they’re both about to fall into a whirlwind so deep, it will send both their lives spiraling out of control.
Review
Wow! I just put this book down and I think I might need some time to recover! Love, Lies & the D.A. is an extremely fast passed story that had me hooked from the very first page! Sorry for all the exclamation points but it’s just necessary! We’re first introduced to Jada; she is a super savvy business woman with confidence to spare. This is no damsel in distress! From the first chapter on Jada is dealt some pretty crappy hands and despite it all she holds her head high and is prepared to fight.
When we are first introduced to Jonathan he comes off as an entitled, rich asshole! Even so there is a definite spark between these two and fight as they may it is not going away! Jonathan is the newly appointed San Francisco D.A. and very career focused, but once he meets Jada that focus drifts a bit 😉
There is a nice slow build up with this relationship, no instalove and no jumping into bed the first time they meet but oh boy is it worth the wait! Rebecca Rohman can write a very beautiful and erotic sex scene! These two characters were great together and I loved the fact that there wasn’t much in the way of unnecessary relationship angst. The mystery in the story kept me guessing the whole way through and some parts were extremely raw and emotional. There were many scenes in this book that had me literally in tears and at one point I was sick to my stomach it was so gut wrenching.
Overall this was an awesome(and long) book that kept my attention the entire way through. Definitely one to pick up!
