I enjoyed reading this lawyer age gap book. It started as a one night stand, Kelly's first time with a woman, and then the next morning they end up at the same office. Kelly is a darling even if also she comes with a baggage, but Jillian with a bad divorce behind her is a really struggling with the thought of going for something more than a casual fling especially with someone so much younger than her. The extra complication that they work at the same office makes their romance even more of a challenge. After a lot of hot sex their feelings develop more and more but of course a lot of hick-ups on the way until they HEA. As a conclusion this is a nice light fun office romance read.

This book was good.

It follows Kelly, a lawyer stuck in Big Law, and Jillian, her no-nonsense boss, who accidentally hook up before realizing they’ll be working together. Sparks fly, and though they try to keep things casual, their feelings gets in the way.

I really enjoyed how Jillian’s soft spot for Kelly show up pretty quickly even if she does everything to avoid it. But also how she’s speaking her mind without caring for the world’s opinion.

Kelly was such a nice character, definitely my favorite surprisingly for me. She’s got a sensible past but doesn’t let it bring her down which is very inspiring.

Now, on the why it’s only gonna be a 4 stars for me. Jillian’s words and actions gave me whiplash many times during this book that made me resent her a little bit and doubt of the authenticity of her feelings for Kelly.

But even considering this little bump during my reading, I’d still recommend this book if you like a sweet office romance between lawyers.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for providing me with an ARC.

L-O-V-E-D this SO much! Hot lawyers in heels—yes please!

I devoured the book in an evening, which I rarely do, but debut author Cassidy Kane’s Writ of Love starts with a spicy bang and then… well, continues the sparks n fizzles to create a delicious office, boss–employee, age-gap romance that sparkles and radiates.

There may not be anything earth-shatteringly original here; indeed, if you enjoyed Morgan Adams’ View from the Top, published last spring, you’ll find similar notes and fizz here. Ms. Crane employs the hot-lesbian-lawyers-who-can’t resist-each-other tropes very well. Both the leads are very likable and you’ll find yourself rooting for both of them, for sure.

This is an easy, low angst read with flowing prose, super characters, and hot scenes. All of which combine very well to make Writ of Love an accomplished debut with not a wasted word throughout. My fave debut this year!

Thanks to the author, the publisher Bold Strokes Books, and to NetGalley for this ARC.

A smart, sizzling office romance that dives into the high-stakes world of Big Law, where ambition and desire collide. Kelly Lattimore is a determined young attorney about to start a new job. A one night stand before the big day couldn’t hurt. The last thing she expects is for her one-night stand to turn out to be her new boss, the formidable and stunning Jillian Briggs. And so, things get complicated fast. As they attempt to keep their relationship purely physical, deeper feelings begin to surface, testing both women’s boundaries and resolve. Fans of workplace romances will find it hard to put down!
