I loved this book… which is why I was very disappointed when the conflict was “solved” so easily and lowkey brushed past. We are waiting for this secret to come out that Rachel has been holding onto. There’s obviously conflict of interest with Ana and Rachel. But the way they solved it? I didn’t feel like it was realistic and it felt like both women were like, “Okay, that’s over, everything is kosher now(pun intended?). It honestly prevented me from giving it 5 stars. The ending seems so rushed.

But other than that, I loved both characters! I loved learning about Jewish culture and loved how the author portrayed it. Both MCs are fleshed out, in depth characters. The author had a good balance of humor and seriousness.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!

This was a fun and engaging read with a great mix of romance and legal drama. Ana Mendez is a strong, determined character you really root for, and Rachel Cohen brings both charm and vulnerability. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the twist of them being on opposite sides of a case adds a lot of tension and excitement. The story moves at a good pace and kept me hooked. A satisfying and heartfelt story that I really enjoyed. Four stars!

what happens when the one night stand is the woman you are forcing to take the stand? ermm hello this was promising and delivered that promise.
weve got a lawyer and a doctor. both different in every way. but theres an interest and a night together. oh, but the next day that lawyer and that doctor arent at all one the same side.
they try to avoid each other but this conflict is definitely of interest. but there is the law involved and is someone keeping something more from the other.
the banters and spice was ramped up to the next level and this story is not going to shy away from that s be ready.
an enjoyable read and a good plot. its feisty and strong just like our characters. and you know there will have to come a explosion over what they are doing but your never sure quite when or how and just what comes next.

When your one-night stand turns out to be the surgeon that you subpoenaed for a malpractice lawsuit.

Ana, an unappreciated lawyer, has been passed up for promotion to her male colleagues yet again. A malpractice lawsuit win could be what she needs to finally get the promotion she’s worked so hard for. Rachel, a cardiac surgeon who goes above and beyond for her patients, is subpoenaed to testify in a malpractice lawsuit. Arriving at the law firm for her deposition, Rachel discovers that the lawyer for the family who filed the lawsuit is Ana Mendez. As in Ana, her one-night stand.

I was excited to get my hands on this one! I loved that Ana and Rachel were so different from each other in personalities, looks, backgrounds, and religions. The differences made them unique and interesting to me. The banter was well-written, and I loved how feisty they were towards each other in the beginning. Was the dirty talk unexpected? Very much so. I was not prepared for that or for how hot things had gotten. And while I did enjoy the spice, I would’ve liked for there to have been more communication about the conflict too. The references to The Golden Girls and The Sims? Oh, I totally geeked out over that! Overall, it was a good sapphic romance that I’m sure others will enjoy.  


I’d like to thank NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for giving me an arc. This is my voluntary review.

I was intrigued by the whole start of the book where a hot lawyer and a hot doctor hook-up for a one-night stand and think they will never meet again but so wrong they were. The very next day they encounter each other when the doctor Rachel arrives at a deposition led by the lawyer Ana. Then we have the whole forbidden romance which I love. They try to avoid each other for a while because of ethical reasons but when they meet a few more times they cannot resist, and they are so right and hot together. It is still a struggle regarding how to handle the forbidden part of the story as well as the fact that Rachel may hide something regarding the deposition.

This is all going very well and I like the tension between them and how they get to know each other. They finally focus one something else besides their respective careers. But it is aiming for a crash at some point and unfortunately that and the resolution is coming a bit late for my taste and thus the growth of their romance as well as epilogue is a bit short. I do however recommend this enjoyable read.
