meader is my go to author these days. her stories are so full of humor and heart. i adored lucas and trinity individually and even moreso together. they weren't cookie cutter and that was very refreshing to read about. i admired the ethical debate at the beginning and how it wasn't even a question to compromise it. and his love of her competence porn was completely adorable. i can't wait to continue reading more of this series and even more by this author.

4.5 Charming Stars!

Ladies, get ready for some British charm headed your way with Lucas Wright. This man can charm the pants off a man-hater. The way he talked was just as pleasurable as the story itself. I can't wait for the audiobook! He's going to be liked by a lot of readers. He was a good mix of charming, alpha, protective and even had a sensitive side. That's not an easy mix to create but Kate Meader did it!

I enjoyed Trinity Jones as well. She had a unique job as a sommelier, her specialty in Whiskey. She was first described doing her job in a leather cat suit and that set the tone of her personality for me. She came off very strong, independent, in control as well as care giver. I think some people relate a strong female as bitchy, but not Trinity. In fact, I think she was too nice sometimes. Being strong and too nice can actually happen.

The banter between Lucas and Trinity was fun. We do get some very serious moments. Both have experienced trauma in their life and that comes out in their story. Overall, I really enjoyed getting to know these two as they got to know each other.

Next book, Grant and Aubrey. After getting small doses of those two in books 1 and 2, I'm anxious for their story. I want them back together!

Lucas is a loud braggart with a certain swagger that sometimes comes across as charm. Trinity is a beautiful whiskey enthusiast who moonlights as her spoiled sister's doormat. Together they form Lunity, a cocktail that starts out boring but has a heady sweet finish.

What appealed: the character development (Lunity definitely gets more likable as the book progresses), Lunity's frank communication style, and most importantly the happy ending.

A fast read with twists that makes you want to keep reading! Likeable characters mixed with just the right amount of villain.

This novel is titled quite appropriately. Lucas and his friends are in a bar when he instantly becomes attracted to the Sommelier.( A fancy word for an individual who does whiskey tasting for a living). Lucas and Trinity have an instant attraction. Trinity has a rule not getting involved with customers that visits the bar she works in but Lucas makes it hard not to. Later we find out why this title of the book says its all. Trinity sister Emily is getting a divorce and Lucas represents her Brother inlaw. So becomes the legal dilema of what happens when they both realize there is an attraction amongst them but cannot take it any further because of the legal ratifications. In this novel we not only get a love story but we find out why Lucas is driven to be the best divorce lawyer he can be and we find out why Trinity allows Emily to take advantage of their sisterly relationship. Full disclosure this book is a part of a series. This novel is the second in it. We meet the previous couple from the first book(Down with Love). I love the camadarie between the love interest their connection with their co-workers and we get to meet the next couple in the next book. Sweet read I love when the heroine is older than the hero and sweet to see an interracial couple without becoming to preachy about their skin differences and upbringing.

A great addition to the Laws of Attraction series by KM. This is the second release. It can be read as a stand-alone however we do get to see the characters from book one, Down with Love.
This has Lucas, the sexy Brit lawyer as our hero and Trinity , our whiskey expert from book one as our heroine. There’s instant attraction between the two and the story is a slow burn till they can’t fight it any longer. I loved them both and their baggage. They were perfect for each other. Not a lot of unnecessary drama which I love and appreciate in my author. Just a great love story of two people falling in love. I can’t wait for the next one. I’m really hoping it’s Grant and Aubrey and they find the way back to each other.
I love Kate Meader and her writing always pulls me in. Strong characters that you love and stories you can’t stop reading till the end. Illegally Yours is highly recommended.

"Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review."

Loved this book very much. It had just enough sweet, sexy romance and the storyline was great! I highly recommend!

The chemistry between Lucas and Trinity is undeniable. But there is one major factor stopping them from exploring it further, Lucas is her brother in laws divorce lawyer. And conflict of interest doesn’t allow him to date Trinity. For how long will they be able to ignore attraction as Hot as theirs.
Illegally yours is a fun read. It is funny, HOT, sweet, and romantic. They both have emotional scars that made them that much more likable to me. A book that was hard to put down and once over left me wanting more. Can’t wait to read Grant and Aubrey’s book.

Kate Meader is quickly becoming a must read romance author for me. Something about her quick witted characters with scorching hot chemistry works. Illegally Yours is no exception to the rule. In it, Lucas is a nonstop ball of British energy who sees Trinity working at a bar. Their chemistry is instant, but Trinity is less than impressed with his frat boy antics. Of course, there's always more to the story and the rest of Lucas's story is a doozy. Then there's the fact that he's also representing Trinity's brother-in-law in her sister's divorce. Nothing about this couple should work but it does. Kinda like the shorts Lucas wears when he's coaching kid's soccer.

While I definitely likes this book better than the first book in this series, it is still not one of my favorites by the author. I loved Trinity. She is the type of heroine I would love to be friends with., and not just because I love whisky. Lucas I did not love as much. He was a little too much for me.. I am not fond of manic, jokey heroes and his over the top personality grated on my nerves. Still the way they met and how their relationship developed despite being on opposite sides of a heated divorce was really interesting. Despite my dislike of Lucas this could have ended up a four star read for me but I found the ending hokey with too much left unsatisfactorily resolved.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Illegally Yours by Kate Meader is Book 2 of the Laws of Attraction series. While part of a series, this story can be read as a standalone.

This was a sweet romance with some definite quirkiness, so much so that I felt it really took away from my enjoyment of the story; I just couldn’t for the life of me take Lucas serious with all his obnoxious and clowning ways. 3 stars.

Please note that an ARC was generously provided in exchange for an honest review of which this is both honest and completely voluntary.

Illegally Yours is the second book in the series and fans will not be disappointed. The chemistry between Trinity and Lucas was a sizzling, slow build that left me wanting more. This book was real and raw and strong and will give you all the feels. 5 chilli peppers of hotness! Thanks Loveswept and NetGalley for the ARC.

Another first author for me. This was a great book. Lucas wright is funny confident and sexy. Trinity is a kick ass woman. Her sister I didn’t care for too much

I love this book. I have never laughed so much in along time while reading a book. The characters are filled with mystery that you hope will come out sooner rather then later. Their is a sadness, but the love, friendship and adoptive family out weighs it all. Not only that but this is one of the few books in which the author has shown growth in major and some minor characters. Most important thing is Lucas and Trinity’s relationship went through so much trial and tribulations, but they never gave up on each other.

I gave it 3 tries and just couldn’t get past the first 2 chapters!

Both the H and h were completely unlikable. I really enjoy Kate Meador and LOVED the first one in the series but could just not get into this one. The H was just incredibly unlikable to the point I just couldn’t keep reading.

Hoping the next one is better!!

Received an arc for an honest review

I love love and this book gave you love of family, love of a significant other, and love of yourself. Adversity, breeds much strength. In finding each other, Trinity and Lucas were forced to face those personal challenges, but were able to do it together. I enjoyed watching them find their way to each other. The romance. The heat. The struggle. Ingredients for a good story.

Illegally Yours by Kate Meader made me reminisce about the the fun of Harry Potter books and the amazing tastes of Scottish whiskeys - neat, of course ;)

Apart from HP and whiskey, you'll also get
- a tough-on-the-outside-goo-on-the-inside hero
- a kick-a** sommelier heroine
- sexy fun and family drama
- a hot scene involving a scrunched together pair of leather pants that somehow reminded me of a scene with Ross in FRIENDS.

The dual 1st POV worked well and the story absolutely worked even though I have not yet read book no. 1 in the series. This book definitely made me wanna read the previous one though and I cannot wait for the third in the series!

P.S. I'm aware that the cover has been changed to the current version and I absolutely agree with the new picture. It's stunning!

P.P.S. I've received an #ARC via #NetGalley. This review is based on my own opinion and thoughts.
#IllegallyYours

A good book to sit back and relax with but unfortunately I just didn't feel any connection to this or any of the characters. Despite the author's great writing, I just didn't resonate with the story. I do want to give kudos to the author for having a POC main character. Overall just not my cup of tea.

Lucas and Trinity find each other on opposite sides of the courtroom as Lucas represents Trinity's sisters soon to be ex-husband. The chemistry between the two is undeniable, Lucas is drawn to her like never before, but he is not going down in the case without a fight. He does not care that his client is an awful person, he just wants the win.

Decisions to win the case or win her heart.

What an awesome, inspirational book by Kate Meader. There were parts in this book my heart was in my throat - while pulling at my heart strings. The story of Trinity Jones and Lucas Wright is more than just a story it's a journey and the author takes you on that with them. Sometimes when the baggage of life gets to much, you need to share it with someone you love.
