Synopsis:
Gabrielle Ginsberg spends her daylight hours going toe to toe with Braden Pierce, a ridiculously handsome assistant district attorney for the Philadelphia criminal court system. However, sometimes life as a public defender can reach embarrassing lows. Especially when Gabrielle is forced to spin creative tales in support of her clients’ criminal activity while running the risk of being laughed out of the courtroom, all in front of her crush. After acting completely out of character at a dive bar frequented by her fellow colleagues, Gabrielle scores a date with Mr. Hot Prosecutor who appears to share a mutual attraction.
Quick Byte:
The Law of Attraction is a light-hearted romp in and out of the courtroom that will have the reader laughing out loud. There was one scene in particular, involving a chihuahua name Bruno that had me practically in stitches. Unfortunately, I enjoyed the build-up more than the actual relationship between Gabrielle and Braden. Things progressed rather quickly for my personal taste and lacked a genuine appeal at times. However, Ms. Silber does a great job of keeping the humor consistent and the reader engaged throughout. Gabrielle is funny and I found her character interesting and likable.
Tavia Gilbert is probably my favorite part of this audiobook. She is such an accomplished narrator and she never fails to keep me entertained. There were even moments when I needed to roll up my car windows at traffic stops, not wanting neighboring drivers to hear just how convincing she was during the particularly hot parts.
All in all, I enjoyed The Law of Attraction and would recommend to a reader looking for a romance that is both fun and light. Please be aware, the first two books in the Lawyers in Love series lead into one another with book one ending on a bit of a cliff-hanger.
