When I first started reading this, my first thought was that the innuendo was super obvious, and it began right away. I wondered if there would be any kind of slow build and I was a little disappointed. However, my opinion did change as I read the more of the book and the flirtation of "I like you"/"You annoy me"/"We can't do this..."/"We are totally doing this..." was fun to watch unfold between Lucas and Trinity. What a fiery chemistry!The character development was nicely done, and I found myself thinking that I'd be interested in reading the next book in the series. I am curious to see how characters from this book show up in the next book (if they do at all). I am a little disappointed that I didn't realize this was Book #2, but not so much that I will go backwards to read the first book; this was easily read as a stand alone story. #IllegallyYours Thanks #Netgalley for the chance to read this for honest review.

She was his whiskey woman that would make him willing to take the next step when his life was focused on lives that no longer together. Being a young British divorce attorney set him apart and his ability to filter what he was saying was a definite plus. Trinity would help bring him the needs he long neglected. He would provide her a measure of peace when her life seems to be going nowhere.

I thought it was cute. Whiskey Sommelier, Trinity Jones is a black woman who doesn't fit the look of what a whiskey sommelier should look like in a white male environment. Lucas a divorce attorney and white Brit finds the feisty Trinity sexy. Trinity who is a giver and whom her family, more specifically her white younger sister continues takes are disfunctional like any other family. A lot of fun moments and serious situations as well. Enjoyed it and will look for other books from this author.

This author has set a high bar. Engaging plot and steamy relationships. This novel meets that level. The relationship between Trinity and Lucas was fun, hot and entertaining. The characters were really well developed. The story was funny and heart warming. A great book to curl up and enjoy on a chilly Saturday!

Love, loved, love this book! Can’t wait to read more from this author and see what happens next for these characters.

Where this one begins is vastly different from how it ends, and that’s a good thing. As soon as I received an ARC of Illegally Yours, I dived right in. After the first chapter, I had some serious regret. The hero was a jerk — cocky, even though he was hot enough to back it up, it was off-putting all the same. I shelved the read. I figured I’d suck it up and finish it eventually so I could give the review I agreed to provide.

Honestly, when I finally picked the book up again, I didn’t have high hopes. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised. This book has a lot of heart! It’s about as sad as it is sexy, so if you don’t mind some personal tragedy to go along with your romance, this read isn’t a bad bet. Just remember that the Lucas you first meet is an imposter; don’t give up on him.

I received an ARC of this book, from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for a fair and honest review.

My favorite thing about Illegal Attraction by Kate Meader is that Lucas finds Trinity’s competence so sexy. I need a Lucas in my life. The first person POV might be off putting to some, but keep reading. Meader seamlessly switches from Lucas to Trinity’s POV and there is never a question who’s speaking. The back and forth makes the novel richer and much more fun to read. Both Lucas and Trinity have hidden depths that you are just going to have to read the book to discover.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this novel.

The premise of "Illegally Yours" was fun: divorce lawyer falls for his client's sister-in-law. While the book was entertaining, the execution fell a bit short for me. They way Lucas and Trinity met and became attracted to each other felt too fast-paced and overwrought. I think the story had enough potential to shine with more subtlety in the humor and a smoother pace.

I wanted to love this one but unfortunately I only thought it was ok. Trinity drove me crazy and Lucas just felt weak. The potential was there but honestly I got bored and barely finished.

This turned out to be a really good story! I'm not going to lie, I was a little skeptical at first. I thought it was going to be a very slow book but I was way wrong!

Yes, it started out rough (for me anyway) but I really enjoyed the hell out of it!

I really wanted to throat punch Brian and Emily, though. For real.

Kate Meader did an awesome job of keeping me hooked till the end. I was so ecstatic the publisher, Kate,and netgalley gave me a chance to read this book. This story is a moder age romance with some serious heat. What an awesome story following some sad events making people grow up before they could truly enjoy their childhood, but they come back fight in the end.

Hot light romance. Chemistry can play with original plans. Sexy banter makes the books fun and interesting.

What happens when you fall for someone you aren’t suppose to. Just when you think you got this book figured out you really don’t. I love that it should emotion and it made me laugh. I actually recommend this one to my sister.

Thank you to NetGalley for facilitating this title.

After reading "Down with Love", the first title in this series, I was excited to see read Lucas story.

Lucas is the third partner in this divorce lawyer group. He is British born, witty and charming, with a drop your panties posh accent. Things used to mask the pain he carries around. He's the product of a broken marriage, raised by a hippie mother, who never cared much for his well being. He feels especially responsible for Lizzie, his twin sister, who has been in a vegetative state ever since a florest fire when they were 13.

He meets Trinity, a whiskey connoisseur and their attraction is instant... Except for the fact he is representing Trnity's brother-in-law in his divorce from her sister. Will they be able to get over the family drama?

Overall, a very entertaining read, and I am already looking forward for Grant's story.

Laws of Attraction #2, Another good read from Kate Meader. The mischievous Brit, Lucas Wright, meets his match with whiskey sommelier, Trinity Jones. (I love that she was named for Trinity from The Matrix, my daughter was almost Trinity for the same reason) Told in the alternating first person POV you get an interesting look at both their worlds as they collide.



Lust at first sight and Lucas' smart mouth doesn't help matters in showing off although she seems immune to his charm. Trinity is use to his type but is impressed when he actually sticks around afterwards to apologize for his behaviour. Trinity should know better but she actually likes the guy, even after she finds out he's representing her horrible brother-in-law she keeps running into him and he keeps proving he's a better man than she thinks. For one he coaches her nephew's soccer team, he's more than willing to step up and help out when she gets sick and when the chips are down he's willing to do the right thing. But unfortunately the biggest obstacle isn't the fact that he's her brother-in-law's lawyer.



Both Trinity and Lucas have baggage they need to deal with, Trinity is way over protective of her sister always putting her sister first even it if meant hurting herself. Lucas has a past he doesn't talk about, the people closest to him know of his twin sister and her situation but he doesn't talk about his mom or his childhood. Trinity is one of the few who know the guilt he carries. The chemistry between the two of them is undeniable and strong. As much as they tried to keep it under control and not cross the ethical line Lucas received some sage advice from a friend that had him throw caution to the wind. Their relationship is pretty steamy and Lucas is capable of doing some pretty sweet gestures.



Overall, it was a good read. It caught me off guard the age difference but Lucas, when he's not being a jokester, is very mature for his age and is far more intelligent for his year. This was a nice heartfelt romance with plenty of humor to keep it from being to somber. Can't wait for the next one.

What I like a lot about Kate Meader is the way she uses humor in her books. The steamy sex is good as always but this is a treat watching them grow together.

This was my first Kate Meader and I loved the writing, the characters, their flaws and strengths. My least favoritwas Emily's soon to be ex-husband Brian. But I really didn't like Emily either. Trinity loves her sister. Trinity is the strong one. Emily seemed to know how to just let her sister handle things for her. Trinity is conflicted and feels guilty when she's happy with Lucas. loved these two. I wanted the jerks to get out of their way. Lucas goes back and forth to London fairly often. He's a reliable guy.

Great story.

I devoured this book in a sitting. Hadn’t planned on it, but from the very first page Illegally Yours had me. I fell under the spell of Lucas Wright and Trinity Jones’ chemistry and they fast became one of my favorite couples in the Meader-verse.

Illegally Yours struck my heart in the most personal of ways, from a certain boy wizard to just how devoted these characters are to those that they love the most. Their feelings are not halfway, they are soul deep and unconditional.

I have honestly lost count of the number of times that I have come back to this book since my first reading. The pull of Kate Meader’s writing is that strong, from the turn of a phrase, to the way she captures emotions — the first flashes of attraction to the pure awfulness of a relationship gone plain nasty - you are experiencing them first hand and it is amazing.

Happy reading.

Love the story of Lucas and Trinity. Trinity has always looked after her sister no matter what and she is determined to do that through her nasty divorce. Then she meets Lucas, the attorney for her sister's husband and everything changes. There are many obstacles to their relationship including ethics and a whole lot of baggage on both sides. But the story of the journey through those problems is sweet and inspiring. Really enjoyed this book. Have been a fan of Kate Meader`s writing for a while and she never disappoints.

I got a free copy of this book through NetGalley. At first, I wasn't too sure I liked it. I really didn't care for Lucas — I thought he was going to be a smart-ass, irritating, rich guy. Then, I was floored by what may be the best seduction scene I have ever read, and it ended with him walking away without even kissing Trinity!

The relationship between Trinity and Lucas, told in alternating first person POV, is an unusual and memorable one, intense and epic. There's something timeless and inevitable about the two of them, as if they were made only for one another. The language used by the author is poetic and evocative and it drew me into the lives of these characters with a ferocity I could not resist.

Some of the words used were so memorable, it would be a shame if there were editorial changes that might diminish their impact. Though NetGalley specifies quotes should not be used in reviews without first verifying the final copy, I'm taking a chance because there are some that would be criminal to remove. For example, I can't think of a better way to say, “Her hair is a hullabaloo, a minitantrum on her head.” I love how Lucas claims to be “a sucker for competence porn,” and when Trinity's friend tells her that “secrets have a way of bubbling to the surface like a bloated, fish-ravaged body.” This same friend compares her situation with Lucas to “Pride and Prejudice crossed with legal ethics.”

The depth of feeling conveyed through the words and actions of these characters is impressive, a testament to the skill of the author. I appreciated that the drama and tension between them was realistic and never felt contrived. The love that developed between them felt organic and genuine. I could go on praising this book, but the bottom line is that I loved it and highly recommend it!
