I generally really enjoy Julie James' novels but this one really irked me. The "hero" is a rich, sexist jerk who makes really stupid comments that in the Trumpian era just can't be forgiven. Plus, the fact the heroine Payton can FORGIVE and still be in love with him despite what he did (told their boss they slept together when they had not) makes her lose major points with me. I'd like to think this was written in a more innocent time (it was) but still not the right story for me.

Plus, both are lawyers set to defend a Walmart-rescue CEO against a gender discrimination class action lawsuit. Gross. Glad they are making their money, but no thanks.
