Jules Court, author of Hot in the City, returns with a brand-new contemporary romance novella full of sparkling wit and personality.
Defense attorney Erin Rafferty has to be tougher than her male colleagues to prove herself in the courtroom. A pit bull in a teacup-poodle package, her hard-earned hard-ass persona isn't easily undone. But one man has proved himself capable.
Rugged, tattooed Detective Cruz is honest, solid—and his testimony on a past case devastated Erin’s career. When a blind date has their paths crossing again, she has no intention of consorting with the enemy, even if her loss wasn't entirely his fault. Then she gets close enough to him to feel the sparks, and even Erin can't bring herself to object.
Undercover cop Daniel Cruz never dreamed he’d see that sexy lawyer ever again. She’s just the shot of adrenaline he needs after being lost and alone too long in a job that's beginning to get the best of him. However, getting the cautious Erin to trust in something more than a series of hot trysts isn’t easy. And with a new case threatening to put them right back where they started, this time their future together could be on trial, too.

Enticing the Enemy is the second novella that I have read by Jules Court. Just like the first one, Hot in the City, it focuses on a member of the Boston Police Department and a sexy love interest. Detective Danny Cruz and defense attorney Erin Rafferty can’t stand each other. That disdain intensifies after Erin tries to discredit Danny on the stand during a trial. What happens next is out of character for both of them.
Erin slaps Danny at a bar. Danny kisses Erin. Everything catches fire from there. It turns out that their love/hate relationship is a big turn on and they can’t seem to avoid getting closer to each other until they end up between the sheets. Unfortunately, they both have serious emotional baggage that threatens to prevent their relationship from moving forward. In addition, a new case that has Erin questioning her ambitions and her ethics will change everything. Enticing the Enemy was good and provided some entertainment although it was very short. Erin and Danny definitely had chemistry and I hoped for their happily ever after.

I was thinking what a cute cover but oh nope. Thanks for the heads up on her slapping him. I cannot stand that in a romance book.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't warranted. She apologized, but still.
