Review: Law & Disorder by Liv Arnold
Book Description
Lawyer Juliet Jackson has come head to head with Sergeant Jesse Burns on numerous occasions in court. He is provoking. Pigheaded. Punch-worthy. They don't get along. Not one little bit. The unfortunate fact he's also her next-door neighbor brings her loathing off the charts. But when Juliet's caught locked outside her home in nothing but a skimpy towel, she must swallow her pride and turn to Jesse for help. She doesn't expect the explosive chemistry between them and can't help but wonder if Jesse's as demanding in the bedroom as he is in the courtroom.
My Review
Juliet and Jesse have been at odds in the courtroom on more than one case. They don't like each other at all. He's a cop and she's a lawyer and the book opens to him on the witness stand while she cross examines him and she doesn't like anything he says.
At home after a shower and wrapped in a towel Juliet gets locked out of her house because of her dog. She falls down into a shrub when she tries to get through a window that won't budge. Her towel falls down and that's when Jesse shows up from work to go to his house next door, he gets a little surprise. They didn't get along but Jesse offers to help get her door open.
Once inside the sparks fly and they find themselves drawn to one another as one thing leads to another.
This was a really short story/novella of just 24 pages. I would have liked it more if there had a little more story to it but it was a fun little romp.
I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
Disclosure: I received this book free from NetGalley but all opinions and thoughts are my own.

What an embarrassing predicament to find oneself in!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be mortifying.
DeleteI love that you review books so regularly. I fail on that front tooooo often.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I read a lot so I figured I might as well let others know about them too.
Delete24 pages is insanely short book but I'd read it, lol.
ReplyDeleteIt was short but it was fun. It just needed a little more story.
DeleteA short story short on story, oops!
ReplyDeleteYes exactly.
DeleteThat is pretty short and it sounds like it could've been a bit longer. But sometimes it is nice to pick up a short read.
ReplyDeleteI was in the mood for something short and this fit the bill but it could have had a little more story to it.
DeleteIt sounds like it could have been expanded but if you enjoyed it, the author succeeded.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't bad but it did need more story.
DeleteGood review
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThis does sound like fun! Too bad it wasn't just a bit longer.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun.
DeleteI'm not crazy about short stories but glad you enjoyed this one.
ReplyDeleteI'm not usually either.
DeleteThat's like one of those nightmares that one gets now and then for the worst-case scenario of embarrassments. LOL
ReplyDeleteSounds like it had decent development for such a short piece.
LOL That would be a nightmare.
DeleteWow that is short!
ReplyDeleteYeah it sure was.
