I received a complimentary copy of this book as a part of a book tour in exchange for a fair and honest review.  I did not receive any additional compensation for my opinion of the reading material provided.Two lawyers deeply attracted to each other, a father's secret documents, and the rule of government versus one's personal privacy are all key elements in Anna Well's Trust Me.  Well developed characters, scintillating dialogue, and plenty of chemistry kept me turning the pages to discover what was going to happen next.  I enjoyed the mystery and found the timing of Ms. Well's topic apropos.Young and attractive, Alaina Simmons is kept busy with her career as an attorney.  While her real life and legal cases aren't as exciting as the attorney's on TV, Alaina is satisfied with what she does.  It just doesn't leave her much time for a personal life.  Meeting an attractive man by "accident" at the drugstore is a surprise, discovering he's her morning appointment and is the opposing counsel on a personal case .......not so much.Donovan Prentiss knows everything there is to know about Alaina Simmons.  He just didn't' realize she would be more beautiful, and intriguing, in person.  Unable to resist the temptation, Donovan flirts with Alaina during a "chance" meeting.  He just didn't count on her ability to resist his charms or her determination to keep the FBI away from her father's personal documents.The scenes between Alaina and Donovan are full of lively dialogue and plenty of emotional and physical chemistry.  While deeply attracted to each other, they are both determined to prove they are right in their opposing beliefs and Donovan has the added pressure of needing to prove Alaina is not a traitor to the country.  Ms. Wells does a good job developing them both as individual characters and developing their romance.  Though I will admit that there were times I wanted to smack Donovan upside the head for all of his "lies" or "omissions" and I also occasionally wanted to hit Alaina for denying they had a real relationship.Will Alaina be able to prove her father is innocent of what the FBI is accusing him off?  Will Donovan's career and his devotion to his job ruin what could be the love of his life?  You'll have to read Trust Me to find out.  I enjoyed it and I think you will too.
