The Lawyer by Marni Mann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’m not the type of girl who picks up a man on a rooftop bar.
Not the kind of girl who lets a man’s hands roam my body, discovering I have no panties on.
Never the girl who has hours’ worth of o’s from a smoking-hot one-night stand.
But Dominick makes it so easy to say yes.
His body, his moves, and his oh-so-wicked tongue have me saying it over and over again.
Yes, please.
Yes, more.
Yes, right there.
He worships every inch of my body, and I’m still sore the next morning when I meet him again.
This time, he’s Mr. Dalton, my sister’s cutthroat entertainment lawyer.
And he has a proposition for me.
He wants to make me famous.
Of course, that means sharing a screen with my wildly jealous sister.
It means giving up my career.
It means the whole world will suddenly know everything about me.
Which presents one catastrophic problem—Dominick doesn’t date famous people.
So, do I take a chance at becoming a Hollywood star, or do I pass up the opportunity to be with the man who gave me a taste of forever?

The heroine: Kendall Roy – A graphic artist who moved to Hollywood to be the personal assistant to her sister who is a reality television start and a diva to boot. While in a meeting with her sister’s entertainment lawyer and agent, Kendall is offered a chance to be on a new and highly anticipated reality show.
The Hero(es): Dominic Dalton – An entertainment lawyer. He has a rule about dating his clients, mostly because he leads a private life and doesn’t want to be in the limelight. He works at a law firm with his brothers, each of them practice a different type of law.
The Story: Kendall and Dominic meet in a bar and have a one night stand, then part ways until they find themselves in the same meeting hours later. Dominic is impressed by Kendall’s beauty and personality and thinks she is a perfect fit for the new reality series that is going to start filming soon and lost a cast member.
The book begins when the Hero and heroine see each other across a crowded bar and exchange some glances, then he sees her later. He basically tells her he wants her and does whatever he can to get what he wants. He tells her she has 10 seconds to decide if she wants him or wants to walk away then starts counting down. I personally would have walked away. She just stands there until he kisses her and tells her to start walking or he will carry her.
At that first meeting, Dominic just seemed way too cocky and high handed and it bothered me how quickly they went from exchanging names to intimate contact, but I guess I shouldn’t be so surprised since she went out to a club without panties, giving easy access. Also his thoughts kept referring to his “tip” and his “crown” which drove me crazy.
I have to say after that first meeting I was about to quit the book but it got much better fairly soon. The intimate scenes were sizzling hot and there were quite a few of them, but there was a good story to go with and some great supporting characters including Charlize who was a fabulous friend, the sister Daisy who makes a good villain, and Dominic’s brothers Ford and Jenner.
The narration was done by Kelsey Navarro and Tim Paige and they both did a great job. Their voices sounded age appropriate for the characters and I love it when there is dual narration. I enjoyed listening to this one and if you like the celebrity trope this was a great book. I liked that the “star” was the heroine.
