  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;When it comes to the laws of attraction...&lt;/b&gt;
Payton Kendall and J.D. Jameson are lawyers who know the meaning of objection. A feminist to the bone, Payton has fought hard to succeed in a profession dominated by men. Born wealthy, privileged, and cocky, J.D. has fought hard to ignore her. Face to face, they&#8217;re perfectly civil. They have to be. For eight years they&#8217;ve kept a safe distance and tolerated each other as co-workers for one reason only: to make partner at the firm.

&lt;b&gt;...there are no rules.&lt;/b&gt;
But all bets are off when they&#8217;re asked to join forces on a major case. At first apprehensive, they begin to appreciate each other&#8217;s dedication to the law&#8212;and the sparks between them quickly turn into attraction. But the increasingly hot connection doesn&#8217;t last long when they discover that only one of them will be named partner. Now it&#8217;s an all out war. And the battle between the sexes is bound to make these lawyers hot under the collar . . .</default_description>

So much time was wasted. JJ did have great bits of humor, a lot of bickering that makes you laugh out loud.

    <body><![CDATA[I’m always nervous when I come off the high of reading an awesome novel and pick up the next story penned by the same author. Will the read be as good? Or, will I be disappointed? And, if I am disappointed what the hell am I going to say when I review the story?<br/><br/>Thankfully, Julie James ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49244951">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the 2nd book by Julie James that I have read, and I am already impatiently waiting for more by her. I thoroughly enjoyed her first two books. She writes books with great characters and interesting story lines. I really liked both the hero, J.D. Jameson, and the heroine, Payton Kendall, in th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48879158">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I definitely enjoyed this book. It wasn't exactly set up like most romances. The characters refrained from jumping in bed. In fact, they fought like cats and dogs for more than half the book. In most romance books, the main characters have a history of fighting but realize they like each other and/o...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67060232">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was just a delightful book that galloped exuberantly to its end! It was a perfect ending in every way. And though obviously, this being a romantic comedy, you grow to expect a certain ending, there were elements of it came as a pleasant surprise. But don't get me wrong--the seeds of the ending ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75408662">more...</a>]]></body>

I loved the characters, they seemed so real, and I loved their little remarks to each other - there was so much sexual tension between them.
