My Review:
I love that the heroine is the judge in the title; it defies our usual expectations. I loved the zany antics of the kitten. I even loved most of the best friend’s questionable choices. I also enjoyed the naughty taboo nature of the illegal sex club. I’m just not sure I can suspend my disbelief as far as this story asked me to. I fully believe in both lust and love at first sight, so the chemistry between Sienna and Jake was perfect. And I know first hand that those out of control brain chemicals can make otherwise sane people do some things that seem contrary to their usual natures. I’m just not buying that a strong independent woman would hand over the protection of her career to another person this easily. I know that real life is stranger than fiction. There’re just too many outlandish ideas in this story for it to sit comfortably with me. If there had only been a couple, I probably would have just rolled with it and had fun, ‘cause the story itself is fun; the romance is cute and cheeky. However, the plot falls firmly into Red Queens’s “impossible things” to believe in. But despite the heroes admirable love of bacon, I’m not reading this before breakfast, so that just didn’t happen for me. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.
