First law of magnetism: opposite poles attract.
Single mom Vivian has been burned by love once before, and her job as a divorce lawyer has presented enough evidence to convince her there are no good men left in New York City.
The worst offender is her new neighbor: Dr. Lucas Keller, a couple's therapist whose piercing blue eyes and flawless dark hair are just as annoying as his bad temper.
But when Luke starts poaching Vivian's clients by saving their marriages, she makes it her mission to force him out of the building to save her practice. But it's Luke who gives her the perfect opportunity when he proposes an unexpected bet.
With their offices at stake, Vivian and Luke play the field of love in a fierce battle of wits that quickly turns hot and personal, especially when Vivian's daughter gets involved. Now, taking down Luke has become more than business for Vivian. It's become a pleasure—and soon, Vivian and Luke will realize how pointless it is to fight the laws of attraction.
This book was really cute. The interactions between the main characters were interesting. I liked how they each grew through their dealings, becoming less combative and growing together. I especially loved the relationship Luke had with Tegan, Vivian's daughter. As far as the outlandish dates and the dating service itself, they brought a lot of humor to the book, but I don't know how much it helped the actual plot. Book two in the series is already out, but I still need to grab it. I would be curious as to whether this dating service, or several of the side characters, make it to the rest of the series.
Told in dual narrative, chapters in Vivian's point of view and Luke's, the audio made the already smooth flow of the story more interesting. I felt like the narrator did a great job. The book itself was a fun, fast read.
As far as adult content goes, there is some drinking (underaged), language and mild sexual content. Trigger warning- emotionally abusive ex.
The book is out! Have you read it?
