My list of books to read and review on NetGalley is currently over 170 books. Do you realize how long this will take me to read?! I average 1-2 books read a week. At this rate I'm going to need at least a couple years!

I've decided to start my catch up with books published chronologically, starting with the oldest publishing. The next on my list was If I Never Met You by Mhain McFarlane. It's been a while since I requested this book, so I couldn't remember why I had chosen it.

This book, even though it's a bit cliché, was more than I expected it to be. As a quick summary, Laurie is a top criminal attorney for a prestigious law firm. Her boyfriend of 18 years, Dan, who is a fellow attorney at the same firm, dumps her for another attorney who works at another law firm and they become pregnant.

Laurie gets stuck in an elevator with Jamie Carter, the GQ and sexy fellow attorney for hours. They end up going out for a night cap where they decide to create a faux-relationship. Jamie needs to be practically married before Christmas to be considered as partner while Laurie wants to make Dan jealous. Laurie and Jamie become fast friends and have loads in common and they learn so much about themselves in the process.

Will Laurie and Jamie be able to achieve their goals that they intended? You'll need to read the book to find out because I'm not sharing that part. I will share that I give this book 5 out of 5 tiaras! I absolutely couldn't get this book off my mind and stayed up past midnight to finish reading! Thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins for access to this book!
