Wren Bishop works for a high profile law firm and as part of their pro bono initiative Wren is being loaned out to the public defenders office for a few months. As luck would have it she will be defending a major case against the prosecutions top lawyer Lennox Roy. Lennox has a reputation of taking no prisoners in the courtroom. In her bedroom Lennox has a no defence counsellor rule as she was burned badly once before. This will be tested as sparks fly from their first meeting.
Trial by Fire is an expected commodity from Taite. Slow burn romance with consistently good writing and stand out characters in the legal world is her trademark. She works in a mystery though it is a side plot but the outcome has a major impact to the characters.
If you are already a fan or new to Carsen Taite you will most assuredly be entertained by Trail by Fire.

I received a free ARC from NetGalley and the publisher for my honest review.

In the last few years I become very into lawyer romance books. its interesting and for some reason lots of them are really well developed. this book is no different, its well written, enjoyable, not rushed and very well developed.

I don't recommend skipping this one.

Trial by Fire
What a great story. Wren Bishop a lawyer is on loan to the district attorney's office for several months. Lennox Roy is a high profile lawyer working in the prosecutors office. Their paths are about to collide.
They will be working on opposites sides of an arson case. Wren believes the detective working it didn't look at any other suspects then the one she's defending and Lennox tends to depend too much on what the detectives bring to her.

This is going to a rough ride. But along the way they find they like spending time together but circumstances are not in their favor. Wren's law firm wants to pull her to come back into the office early but she needs to follow this case until the end.

Lennox has her own demons that keep pulling her away from finding happiness.

Will these two be able to find some middle ground and build a relationship?

I have read many Carsen Taite books and have enjoyed all of them, this is no exception. I highly recommend this law/romance.
Thank you NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for the advanced copy.

Carsen Taite hits another homerun with Trial By Fire. Her courtroom dramas with love on the side are fun books. Wren and Lennox are made for each other.

Another good read from Carsen Taite. Two lawyers on opposite sides. One with some baggage but fortunately not too onerous. Storyline takes you through their original slightly acrimonious meeting to their final HEA (with some disagreements about the trial they are both involved in along the way).
