4.5 stars!!!

ARC RECEIVED FOR AN HONEST REVIEW

I completely adore the Lawyers In Love series, have from the minute I picked up the first book, The Law of Attraction.

And Legal Briefs is another great chapter in this series. The characters do cross over from the first 2 books, but you could read this as a standalone. But why would you want to do that and miss all the hi jinx and hilarity of the first two books?

Lily Adler is a trained lawyer, but works as a law librarian by day, sexy romance writer by night. Adam Roth is an assistant District Attorney.

They have known each other since they were in nappies, and they have been butting heads for just as long - since the "glitter" and the "fruit roll up" incidents . But they say it is a very fine line between love and hate, and this pair have been toeing that line for ooooh about 20 years!!

I have been impatiently waiting for Lily and Adam's story since they became a bigger part of the series in book 2.

I can't get enough of their banter. It is smart, it is sassy, sometimes I could not help but snort-laugh as I read. There is one particular discussion about tic tacs that just had me in tears of laughter!!

There is an undercurrent to all of their interactions, and you could cut the sexual tension with a butter knife!

I love love love the rest of their group of friends (who we have all met previously). And I love that all of their friends know how Lily and Adam feel about each other and are just waiting for them to get their act together.

And when they get together, damn do things steam up!! Hot Hot Hot!!! And some of the sexy talk is just hilarious

"Adam! God damn it! Will you f&^k me already?!"
"Very nice Ms. Romance Novelist." He laughed as he stood up.
"Fine. Will you thrust your turgid manroot into my dewy petals?"

I love that we get more of the "Scooby Gang" as I have come to know them. Gab and Braden, Jess and Cam, Bruce, Mark. These are the kind of friends we all need (and I want to be part of the gang!!) They are each others fiercest supporters, but they are also the ones who will give each other the most grief (in that way you can only be with your closest friends).

Then we have the residents in Lily's apartment building. What a motley crew that lot are, all with their bizarre perks that keep us intrigued as well as amused. And don't get me started on Adam's mother and older sisters! These ladies are relentless!!!

Ms Silber has created a series that just keeps getting better and better. As we get more involved with these lawyer's lives, I just want to learn more and more. There is plenty of love and laughs, and I can't wait for the next book (and the novellas in between!)
