Just the Sexiest Man Alive
Julie James
Berkley, Oct 2008, $7.99
ISBN: 9780425224205
Chicago based attorney Taylor Donovan is the coolest under fire lawyer known on the planet; whether it is penis harassment or penal coding she never loses it; to her they are the same and for that matter she never loses a case. The only people who can get inside to Taylor is her beloved parents, who sacrificed so much for her to be come a lawyer; she vows to never let them down.
Her firm Gray & Dallas sent her to Los Angeles to litigate a sexual harassment case. Her temporary L.A. boss Sam Blakely asks her to do him a favor as the best litigator in the firm. He wants her to train People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" Jason Andrews for his role as a lawyer in a film. Sam also warns her not to go starry eyed over the hunk; she learned from childhood that “There’s no crying in baseball” (A League of their Own) or in life. When they meet Jason turns on the charm, but strikes out as Taylor rejects his seductive endeavors. The more she refuses him, the more he wants her. As each begins to fall in love, two buried gentler souls surface.
This engaging mixing of Hollywood and litigation is a fun enjoyable contemporary romance. The lead couple is a strong casting of individuals who at first seem so different yet as the audience get to know both of them, they share much the same attitude on life. Although the plot is somewhat limited fans will relish this superb relationship drama starring a pair of “drop-outs”.
