THE STORY:After the initial shock of discovering Matt is her new boss, Mac starts to settle into her new job. However working around Matt is proving to be quite the distraction and seeing each other everyday is making it difficult to deny their mutual attraction.What's really great to see is that the legal storyline is also developing nicely. It reminds me a lot of The Good Wife with the forbidden office romance mixed with an exciting legal story line! Watching Mac put so much passion into working this case was great and I'm hoping we get to see her battle it out in the court room.THE CHARACTERS:I love Mac, but I felt she let herself be used a little by Matt. She can't resist his charms and although she knows she shouldn't pursue anything with him, she can't deny her attraction. However I absolutely LOVED that she does eventually stand up for herself and demand some respect - that was awesome to see!Matt started to show more emotion in this episode, in particular his possessive streak. Although he makes it clear he doesn't do relationships, he can't stand the idea of any other man touching Mac. It's clear something has happened to make him so against relationships, but that's still unknown, which give Matt an air of mysteryTHE ROMANCE:Mac & Matt try to suppress their feelings, but that doesn't last long before they're tearing at each other's clothes. However their arrangement is more of a 'friends with benefits' type of situation at this point and although Mac tries to convince herself she's okay it, she soon starts to feel a little used. The attraction between them is growing and it's going to be interesting to see if Matt can overcome his commitment issues before it's too late.THE WRITING:When reading the legal aspect of this story, it's clear that Sawyer knows what she's talking about. The court case is not just filler until the next romantic scene, it's a well developed part of the story, and I'm really enjoying it as much as the romance!FINAL WORD:This is guilty pleasure reading at it's best! With a sexy romance and and plenty of legal drama, this an addictive series that you be able to enough of!CONTENT:Sexuality: medium-strong / several descriptive sex scenesViolence: noneLanguage: mediumDrugs & alcohol: mildMore reviews at thereadingrealmblog.blogspot.com.au
