Legal secretary Charlotte Evans has a sassy encounter with
her boss Jake Hamilton at a coffee shop. But he's the boss,
which makes him off limits. Not to mention that he's a
known womanizer.
Jake has never been drawn to a woman as he is to Charlotte.
He's not trying to invite a sexual harassment claim, but the
chemistry between them is too much to ignore. He finds himself
doing and saying things he would never otherwise do because
snaring this determined lady requires him to break all his
rules.
CASE FOR SEDUCTION is the first book in The Hamiltons Laws
of Love mini-series. Ann Christopher, whose romances are
always smart, romantic and fun, doesn't disappoint.
Charlotte and Jake make a great match. Charlotte is both
legal secretary and law student, more than up to the task of
locking horns with Jake Hamilton. She's also a single
mother so her decisions are often driven by what's right for
her toddler son, Harry. Jake, one of a family of wealthy
Hamilton lawyers, ultimately wants more to his life than
money can buy. He's got a diva of a mother, one who might
remind readers of Diahann Caroll's Dynasty character,
Dominique Devereaux. Then there's Charlotte's ex-boyfriend
and Harry's father, a surgical resident not unlike Eriq
LaSalle's Dr. Benton on another popular television series,
ER.
Along with providing a fast-paced yet satisfying read,
Christopher does an excellent job of developing her
characters and giving enough of a peek into a few of the
other Hamilton kin to whet readers' appetites for the books
to come.
Too late, since Charlotte Evans has been secretly head over
heels for Jake Hamilton ever since she started working at
his family's renowned Philadelphia law firm. She's too smart
to expect the die-hard bachelor to suddenly turn into Mr.
Right, until he starts putting the moves—on her!
Jake's prowess is legendary—in and out of the courtroom.
He's never met a woman he couldn't seduce, except Charlotte
Evans. Jake's lovely assistant may be the only female on the
planet who sees past his playboy facade. And now Jake wants
forever with the one woman he can't have. Because when it
comes to love, some laws are made to be broken.
