Our Review:
Reviewed by Donna ~ 3 stars
***ARC received for an honest review***
“Sometimes a girl wants to know
if a man will fight for her. So if you want her bad enough, fight for her.”
Lauren Smith is a new to me author and I was drawn to this
book because of “Legal” being in the title. I do love books set in that domain
and hot lawyers are definitely easy to read about. Legally Charming is a book I
enjoyed, it was what I deem an “easy read,” everything was nice, sweet with a
little angst and a lot of insta love.
Felicity Hart was a likeable character in so far as she was
sweet, innocent and naïve, but for me the damsel in distress act did get a
little old after a while. For someone extremely intelligent, I found her very
flaky and she was just a little too wet for me to warm up to. Felicity was very
insecure about herself, especially her curves, and she couldn’t see the
beautiful woman underneath despite who and how many times people told her
otherwise. Felicity was however extremely independent which was a fantastic
trait, even if rather annoying at times when you just wanted her to accept help
when she really needed it. Overall though, I liked her.
Jared Redmond was your typical red blooded, alpha lawyer.
Jared worked all the hour’s god sends to further his career and hopefully make
partner in the firm that is owned by his ex-girlfriend’s father (cue drama). He
wasn’t a defender or prosecutor but worked in real estate law which is
apparently just as demanding. Jared had no time for romance or relationships,
his work ethic had only one track, focus, focus, focus. Jared was extremely
good at his job and that is the way he wanted it to stay or at least did until
he wandered in on a sleeping Felicity in his bed.
“…You don’t walk away from the
chemistry we have. When I touch you? It makes my entire body burn. I’ve never
felt that way about anyone else.”
Legally Charming was the proverbial player to love sick
puppy story line and was predictable, the little plot twist I could see coming
a mile away and the ex-girlfriend drama was a foregone conclusion, but for an
easy read this was perfect. Personally, I would have liked a little more depth
to the characters but Lauren Smith surprised me when my eyes were leaking at
one point so the emotional connection I crave was there. I was curled up on my
sofa reading away without a care in the world, this was a great lazy weekend
read.
