Laws of Attraction by N.M. Silber
review by Wendy
4 stars
Gabrielle Ginsberg works for the public defenders office. She sees an array of characters that she has the unfortunate task of defending.
For the last 6 months she has been lusting for the handsome and charming Prosecutor Braden Pierce.
Braden is known in their circles as being a player. Even though Gabby is attracted to Braden, she’s been down that path before and won’t be a one night stand. Once their friends get together and start negotiations on their behalves, they start making plans.
I started out really enjoying this story. I really felt the chemistry and sexual tension between these two. Once they start dating, the hotness ensues. I laughed out loud a few times, and hot and bothered other times. I loved their friends. I thought in the end that their relationship moved a little fast, but I can suspend that reality. The thing that prevented this from being a five star was actually the subplot, the suspense, the climatic problem, whatever you want to call it. I found the Nancy Drew and the Hardy boys “investigation” unbelievable and irresponsible for someone who is suppose to be so smart. It lacked…well suspense. We are left with a cliffhanger at the end, and I will probably read the next installment for the people in the story, but I could honestly care less about the “who-dunnit”
Favorite quotes;
“Well, I might be interested, but only if it was like a real dating thing and not just a one nighter with a meal plan”
“I’m sorry, but I just don’t want to stand in line at anybody’s bedroom door. I was an only child. I never learned to share nicely. “
