Alex Corrigan is in love with his boss, Judge Lawson Daniels, and thinks those feelings are returned. That assumption is sorely tested two days before the court holiday party they’re organizing together, when the venue calls and cancels, followed by a snafu with the caterer. Alex could handle that, but after an intimate dinner followed by a decidedly unromantic e-mail, he’s left wondering about the future of his employment as well as his relationship with the debonair older man.Law can’t wait to see his clerk again. But Alex is cold and distant in the light of day, and Law doesn’t understand. The party looms in the background, but Law’s excitement is turning to dread. On top of that, someone is sabotaging them, trying to get Alex fired and drive Law off the bench. If there’s any chance for a happy holiday for Alex and Law, they’ll have to find out who.

Alex Corrigan has been pining over his boss, Judge Lawson Daniels, pretty much since he started working with him. He doesn't dare act on his feelings though, since he's the Judge's assistant. The two wind up in close quarters as they try to salvage the Holiday party when one thing after another goes wrong, setting them both on edge. Can they admit their mutual attraction? Or will the series of unfortunate events plaguing the party bleed over into their budding relationship as well. I'm torn with this one. There were things I liked and things, not so much. The story didn't flow well, the waters were choppy. Also, the threat when revealed was a stretch, but then as said threat opened mouth and started speaking, it was ridiculous. I really liked the concept for the story, two men that have been watching each other for a while but due to circumstance, have not acted on it as of yet. The mystery had me intrigued as well until it was revealed. So, good concept, poor presentation. |
Jayce Ellis has three loves: her husband and her two turtles. Hubby loves her back. The turtles she’s not so sure about, but they do love their sports (Bay Area teams FTW!). She still hasn’t figured out why she lives in Northern Virginia, where there’s weather, instead of California, where she’s from and where it’s just… pretty. Jayce spends her days divorcing happily married couples (or so she’s been told), and her nights talking maniacally to herself. Thankfully the recorder catches her rumblings and magically turns them into words on a screen. Painting nails is way easier when you don’t actually have to type, and with well over 500 polishes to get through, there’s a lot of painting going on.
Notwithstanding her no-good, very bad, horrible day job, Jayce seriously believes that true love conquers all. Even Malificent said it. Sure, she was having an epic Mean Girls moment at the time, but she still said it. And she’s right. The only thing Jayce loves more than writing about true love conquering all is hearing from readers who feel the same way. Drop her a line; she’d love to hear from you.
