Now and Again is book two in the Now trilogy.  I must admit that I like it even more than Now and Then, but I am limited to 5 stars.  Layla is a beautiful young attorney trying to make her mark in a prestigious law firm.  She's tired of searching for Mr. Right and has given up on the list of goals written on the sheet of pink Hello Kitty paper that she started in high school.  She's also given up on the hot neighbor from high school after finding out that her younger sister has been dating him behind her back for the last few months.  For the last 6 months she's been licking her wounds, avoiding her family and every male other than her dog Prince.  She's decided that, "One-night stands are like ice cream - great in the moment but full of regret afterwards".Working on a pro bono legal case for Advocates of Hope she is forced to go to the police department to speak to Detective Ben Montrose, who has been ignoring her calls.  Ben is 6'5" of sexy, muscled, intense alpha cop and she's a Type A attorney that believes the bitch factor opens doors. They both want control and are used to getting their way.  When these two get together the sparks fly.  The sexual chemistry is off the charts and the sexual banter is both funny and hot.  They make an agreement that causes them to turn up the heat even more trying to outdo each other. They had me blushing and laughing out loud with their references to magic wands, handcuffs, boxers, batteries, and my favorite, cupcakes...  When she admits that having a filthy mouth is on her "list", Ben sets out to prove that he can get her there without even touching her.  Dayum! He almost had me breaking out my magic wand! *wink*Trust me, you want to read this book, NOW.  I am so looking forward to the final book in the trilogy, it's called Now and Forever and will include both Emma and Layla.  Brenda Rothert is such a talented author, when she weaves her magic I can see, hear, smell, and feel every page.  If I ever get the chance to meet her in person I will go totally fangirl on her.  ❤️
