I was afraid that Sloane's character was going to be immature. Complete opposite actually. Carter falls hard for her, it takes Sloane a while to trust what they have can be something lasting. I really enjoyed reading, The Divorce Attorney.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book for an honest review.

When Sloane's divorce attorney goes on an unexpected maternity leave, Carter oh so hot Carter with his suspenders, bow tie all wrapped up like a gift steps in. Yes, Sloane's ex is horrible, he cheated on her and insulted her during the final settlement meeting, and at the end Carter gives her his number....oh and did I mention Sloane was wearing her waitress outfit that included a tight corset? Sloane doesn't call him, but he shows up at her restaurant asking why she didn't......they both are at different parts in their life but you just can't help but root for them. I also loved how the author was able to let the reader know that Carter was devoted to Sloane and would not be giving his number to the next divorcee. I just loved Sloane and Carter and was dying for their happily ever after, there was an expected twist that made their love story all the more grand. Loved this book! A new favorite author for me.

Love love love this book!!! It was such a great story that grabs you and doesn’t let you go till the last page. So much humor and passion in all the pages.

One time when I was in my twenties, I went bowling with my then-boyfriend. A guy out with a few of his friends kept watching me bowl, and when they went to leave he came over and gave me his phone number on a piece of paper in front of my boyfriend and said that he would know how to treat me right and to give him a call. At the time I was shocked (and flattered) but ultimately tossed the paper with his phone number. This book reminds me of that time, and makes me wonder what would have happened if I would have taken the risk and called him.

I enjoyed Sloane and Carter's chemistry and banter. I was pleased to see her education and career goals were actually tied into the story (I feel like I read too many books nowadays that mention the main character is going to school but it's basically a throwaway comment that never relates to anything). I didn't anticipate what the break-up problem would be, but it was a good one. An enjoyable read.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

3 1/2 stars! I received an ARC of the Divorce Attorney from Net Galley in exchange for a review. The Divorce Attorney was a cute romance centered around the main character Sloane who meets the man of her dreams who is her divorce lawyer of all people. The book chronicles their whirlwind romance and gets sultry enough to earn an R rating for sure. This was the first book by this author that I’ve read and her writing style was easy to follow and I would read more of her books. If you are into hot and heavy as opposed to slow burn relationships, this book doesn’t disappoint. Also looks like this will be a series with the next book giving us the story of Sloanes friend Harper.

Thank you Netgalley and the author Melanie Munton for this ebook in exchange for an honest review.

"What are you supposed to do when your insanely hot divorce attorney leans over after you’ve signed your divorce papers and seductively whispers in your ear, “Give me a call if you want to know how it feels to be handled by a real man since you were clearly too much woman for him,” before sliding his business card over and walking out the door?" Sloan Williams is going through a lot in her early 20s. Getting a divorce, working on her Master's and dealing with unsavory customers at her job can cause anyone stress. When Sloan meets her new divorce attorney, sparks fly and she is unsure if she should see where the steam with the hotty lawyer goes or if she is in way over her head.

What I liked about this book: Sloan's friends were hilarious and I am looking forward to reading their stories. Her roommate was the most relatable. Sloan's hustle in her very early 20s reminded me of myself and how easy it is to burn out if you don't take time for yourself.

What I did not like about this book: I know that the setting is in South Carolina (I'm from NC born and raised) and I know that Sloan is a History buff and is getting her degree in that field. So it's only natural that the history of beautiful South Carolina would enchant her. But I was completely taken out of the story when she and Carter arrived at a Plantation and it was so romanticized and glamorized. The author did acknowledge that terrible things did happen in the past, but I would have liked it better if that part was a different setting. It just put a bad taste in my mouth. Not to mention complete with the only black character named Hattie who ends up basically being a Mammie troupe. Also when a customer at Sloan's job gets fresh with her and grabs her, Carter walks in right as it happens. Instead of defending her honor, he pretty much objectifies her and Sloan somehow roles with it and thinks it's hot.

I will probably continue on to the next book in the series because I did enjoy the side characters.

Carter is the divorce attorney for sloan. They meet on the day of her divorce and go from there without knowing their link in the past.

This book was not what I was expecting in terms of writing style. The main idea of the novel sounded interesting, but I was unable to relate.

I want to thank Netgalley for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book was amazing! I don’t think I’ve laughed out loud reading a book so much in my life. Sloanes character was so relatable I want her to be my friend! Her friend group was so amazing and supportive o can’t wait to read Harper’s story when it comes out.
The plot and pacing was perfect I wasn’t bored in any way reading this and finished it in one sitting.
Carters character was so sweet o loved seeing his vulnerable side and that twist at the end totally got me and make the story epic.
I think I’ve found a new favourite author and will defiantly be checking out her other books.
I just wish the book was longer.
4 stars.
