This book introduced me to the world of romance novels. Needless to say Maureen Smith instantly became one of my most favorite authors of all time. I love, love, love A Legal Affair! I've read it so many times and yet I still feel breathless and walk around thinking "I want a man like that" after reading it. She nailed it for the ladies who love a man with that intense quiet sexy as hell confidence. A true gentlemen indeed.
The story takes place in San Antonio, Texas. Maureen Smith describes this place so well that we can imagine ourselves walking downtown hand-in-hand swooning. The main characters are Daniela Roarke and Caleb Thorn. Daniela and her brothers own a private investigative agency. Caleb is a law professor. Daniela's job is to go undercover as a law student and befriend Caleb to gather information on his father.
The chemistry between the two started before they even laid eyes on each other. Daniela was instantly attracted to the sound of the man's voice as she was walking towards the lecture room. But the moment they did see eachother the attraction was instant. Maureen Smith described the moment perfectly. The run-ins they have with eachother in the beginning is just bone melting. Caleb has this cool quiet demeanor but its his eyes that give away the want and passion he's trying his best to hide. Things come to a head at the art gallery after Caleb sees an old friend flirting with Daniela. The two have words that turns into an explosive kiss.
The time the two spend together is fun and romantic plus the sex is jaw dropping, seat squirming, "I want me a Caleb" HOT! The scene at his dad's home was so romantic and intimate. The way Caleb is with Daniella; the way he talks and looks at her is so touching. He openly shows his love and affection for her. What woman doesn't crave that?!?
The scene when Caleb finds out Daniella's true identity was just heartbreaking. I was crying with Daniella. But over time Caleb realized after having a heart-to-hear with his father that Daniella was the only woman he will ever love. So Caleb went and got his woman!
I encourage everyone to read this book and if you don't love it as much as I do then we seriously have to get your romance meter checked. This book is hot, hot, hot!
