b>Rating: ★★✬☆☆ (2.5/5 Stars) Title: Ms. Lawyer Author(s): Lea Coll Character(s): ― Emma Ryan: Brown, Blue Eyed ― Luke Hudson: Brown, Brown Eyed Setting: Chestertown, Maryland Tag(s): Romance, Contemporary Content Rating: R POV: First Person (Heroine) Smexy Level: Hot Favorite Quote(s): ― “None of that matters if I don’t have you.” Overall Opinion: For the next three months, the new public defender Emma moves into the small town of Chestertown where she comes across Luke, the police officer who challenges her at every turn. Their relationship heats up but what will they do when someone threatens to tear them apart? Lea Coll's “Ms. Lawyer” falls into the mediocre category. I liked the overall premise of the story which I was drawn to when reading the blurb but ultimately it fell flat. Emma and Luke lacked depth, there was no excitement leading up to the built-up of the conclusion of the novel and I frankly was done and over this half way through. Nothing particularly stood out and overall writing left much to desire. Basically “Ms. Lawyer” shall remained unmemorable by my standards. I appreciate the ARC and the time the author took to write this but to say the least, this just wasn't for me.
