"She needs to recognize that this path has one destination. Me and Trinity sittin' in a tree. F-U-C . . . You get the idea."

So sue me, I like #ForbiddenRomance and Illegally Yours fits the bill. Imagine the disappointment of discovering the woman that you're in lust with is the sister of your client and off-limits. Seems doable though, right? Well, not if fate keeps throwing you together time and again and she feels the same way. So, then the solution would be to just ride it out, keeping your hands to yourselves until the divorce is final and the asshole is no longer a client. Sounds like a plan, huh? "Just thinking of all the things I plan to do to you once the obstacles are out of the way. All the dirty things." Well, you know what they say about the best laid plans...

It was fun being inside Trinity's head, especially when she's thinking about the #HottieBrit and decides that "I'll let it buoy me and fuel a few British-accented fantasies later." Yup, I knew that eventually those fantasies would turn into reality and I couldn't wait. I found myself giggle-snorting more than once as I got an education on sexily accented slang and curse words. I also found my heartstrings being pulled more than once when I discovered why said HB chose to be a divorce attorney.

I'm enjoying the Laws of Attraction series, but I do have to point out that there's not much legal stuff included in the story. Unfortunately, the sexy divorce lawyers did not need my help with strategy or information gathering and there are no objections or badgering of witnesses. But there are a great group of friends that have each other's backs and a specific couple that I'm very excited to read about next. The author has been teasing me from the beginning about them and I'm beyond intrigued to discover their secrets. The line forms here...

This is the second book in Kate Meader's Law of Attaction series. I enjoyed the first book but found this second book to be somewhat "over the top". I couldn't get into the relationship between Lucas and Trinity. Lucas seemed to be a caricature and Trinity seemed to be underwhelming...overall, I was disappointed with this one.

So our lovable divorce lawyers are back. This is the second in this series, we now have Lucas story. Lucas new love interest Trinity Jones whom he officially met at a liquor tasting and who he was attracted to but ends up being a conflict of interest because he is representing her brother in law, meaning he is going to brutalize her sister. When he find this out he is besides himself and looking for ways out of this and ends up having his friends ex Aubrey to represent her. I can't wait for Aubrey's story, that one has me counting down..Anyhoo we also get to read about our original couple Max and Charlie..Enjoy!

Illegally Yours was entirely disjointed. The characters, be they main or supporting, randomly appear at the same place at the right time, and carry on tedious conversations that are trying way too hard to be witty, exotic and clever. Trinity, the female lead, was incredibly annoying. Every time she would have a negative thought about her one-dimensional, lifeblood-draining sister Emily, she would immediately follow it up with how much she loves and needs to be there for her. I thought Lucas’ character was trying too hard to be whimsical and original. I never understood the defining moment of Lucas’ and Trinity’s love; especially as it seemed Lucas instantly (i.e. randomly) falls in love with Trinity at first sight. Everything was too over the top and dramatic for what I thought was going to be a true sleeping-with-the-enemy novel without the OTT clichés and big secret reveals towards the end of the story. My disappointment could not be contained with Kate Meader’s new addition to the Laws of Attraction series. Hopefully the lead-on to the third book will bring back the original writing style Meader is typically known for.

Kate Meader is a new author to me and I’m so excited that I got to read this book! I really enjoyed Lucas and Trinity’s story in Illegally Yours. I liked this book so much that I went back purchased the book before this one in the series. Kate does a great job of telling the story of Trinity who is the woman that is always trying to be the helper of the people around her. She’s the strong woman who always there to help out. She’s trying to help her younger sister who’s going through a divorce from an awful man and she is helping with her demon niece and sweet nephew. Trinity is a master sommelier of whiskey. She meets Lucas during one of whiskey tastings. Lucas is a young hot shot know it all lawyer. Lucas is the kind of guy who is always kind to others and is fun to be around. He knows how to put smiles on faces. Can he put a smile on the lovely Trinity’s face though? He falls for her and yet he can’t seem to get it right. They both have a history and lots of baggage to carry. Can they put it all behind them and find love? There are so many funny moments in this unique love story. Trinity is such a charismatic woman that it’s hard not to love her character. Kate Meader does a great job writing a funny hot British lawyer who is super nerdy and caring. Loved all the extra characters in this book and I had to get the previous book to know more about them. I can’t wait until the next one. Definitely a great five star read!

Sorry I cannot review this book as I did not finish it. Could not keep reading after 1 chapter. The editing of the book or the format just did not work for me.
