Letting go might be the key that unlocks her pleasure…Attorney Cassie Blaire has spent most of her life living by rules. Rules that keep her life sensible, and on the right path. But five years after losing her husband, Cassie is saying sayonara to “sensible.” And it starts now—with indulging a need she’s long denied.When he arrives in Colorado, all Brad Steele wants is a scotch before he has to play nice in the first face-to-face meeting with his co-counsel in an ugly divorce case. But instead, he finds her—a lush, inviting stranger whose dark eyes invite him to sin...and thirst turns into a raw, undeniable hunger.Now Cassie is initiated into a world that has nothing to do with being sensible, and everything to do with sensuality. Under Brad’s guiding touch, she’s receiving an education in desire—one that breaks all of the old rules, and explores tantalizing new ones. And once she learns that her naughty one-nighter is her arrogant co-counsel, all of her objections will be sustained...Review:Another enjoyable read by Tori St. Claire!Two strangers meet in a bar and after a night mild submission, they find out that they are co-counsel for a divorce case.  Cassie and Brad are our main characters.  Cassie has been widowed for two years and she is standing up for herself after being stifled by her dead husband.  I liked that Cassie put herself out there even at the risk of being hurt and finally standing up for what she wanted and needed.  Brad is a New York, playboy, lawyer who is influenced by his fathers philandering ways.  Brad is such a great guy, even though they never exchange names that first night, he goes out of his way to give Cassie what she needs and take care of her.  Both of these people have lots of emotional baggage to overcome to get their HEA.  It was enjoyable to read their struggles and their love story unfold.I have been engrossed in Ms. St. Claire's other works and I enjoy her writing style.  This story even at 250+ pages was a quick pleasurable read.  Now, this is mild submission in this book, nothing heavy.  Some of the language used seems a little cliche or old fashioned, at least in the intimate scenes, but for me it does not detract from the story Cassie and Brad.  And I will continue to seek out more stories from Tori St. Claire!4 StarsI received a copy of this book from Publisher in exchange for an honest review.
