The premise of this book, picking up a stranger and having a wild night of passion only to find out the next day who they really are, had me hooked. After reading this book, I can say this is a trope I would love to see more of.I really enjoyed Brad and Cassie. The sexual tension from the start and they way they both grew over the course of the book had me hooked. Yes there were times I wanted to smack one or there other, but you aren't always meant to love every minute of the characters. I liked  how Cassie was willing to explore another side of herself and that Brad started seeing a different side to himself, one that wasn't all work related.This book also showed a different angle to the current trend of BDSM in books. It was only light, but some people might not like it. If you don't like reading about dominance and submitting, then try another book.  It's an theme throughout the whole story.When lawyer Cassie is stood up for a blind date, she never expected to find a replacement in the bar but when she encounters a hot stranger at said bar, the sparks fly and she decides to let go and takes him home. All bets are off, no names are to be exchanged and they have a hot night together exploring that passion with the understanding they are going their separate ways after.Little did they expect to come face to face with each other the next day. Talk about awkward. But this is exactly what happens when Brad Steele, lawyer, walks into the office of his co-counsel in a ugly divorce case. They've never met in person, they have only spoken via email and phone so neither knew that the hookup from the night before just made this case more ugly.When the sizzle starts to flare again, neither can walk away and since they are not opposing council, they decide to let the sparks fly for the week that Brad will be there. And boy does it. With each other they can be as free sexually as they like. Cassie who is ready to shed her sensible persona and indulge in the freeing passion that submitting releases and Brad who is fighting to make partner but is also more than happy to show Cassie the ropes of this new aspect of her life.But what happens when passion causes Brad to go too far or when a change in their case makes it harder for them to be together ? Can they overcome these obstacles to find happiness or will they let what is expected of them, who they really need to be stop and distance tear them apart ?This is the first book by this author I've read and it won't be the last. I liked this couple and what they go through and really enjoyed this book right through to the epilogue. I loved the scene towards the end in the conference room. The way Brad just blurts something out had me laughing out loud. I hope we get more from this author from this Brazen line.This book was supplied by the publisher for an honest review.
