THE LAW OF ATTRACTION and THE HOME COURT ADVANTAGE, the first two books in the Lawyers in Love series, are two of the most hilarious books that I have read in a very long time. N.M. Silber took a career that is usually the butt of many jokes and crafted a storyline that is funny, sexy and interesting.Holy hilarity! I haven’t laughed this hard in a very long time. It is a story about two lawyers who are adversaries in the courtroom with an insane attraction and a great group of friends. They read like a movie and I loved every minute of the crazy, sexy, funny storylines.Here is what is so great about these books. First, they show the ridiculous side of being a lawyer. Sure people think being a lawyer is glamorous but what they don’t know is that lawyers who are in court every day deal with pretty ludicrous cases and this is the first book that I’ve read that really showed that!Since Gabrielle is a public defender (definition: court-appointed attorney for criminal defendants), she is in court pretty much every day defending people that belong on the Jerry Springer Show. These scenes bring most of the comedy in the books – from a man who steals enough food to have a wine & cheese party in his pants to the woman who assaulted her boyfriend after he didn’t bring her to orgasm!Second, the sexual tension and chemistry between Gabrielle and Braden is off the charts hot! As the reader, I got to see their relationship from beginning – from their initial negotiation to start dating to when they fell in love and to when the lived happily ever after. I have to admit, they do end up being sickly cute with one another, but their sexy time is well worth it. I loved these two together and how absolutely perfect they were for one another.Third, the chemistry between their core group of friends is both comforting and hysterical. Some of the best scenes in both books take place when all of them are together. They get into some absolutely insane situations – yes some are out there and a little off the wall – but either way they will make you laugh so hard your belly hurts. While reading these scenes it reminded me of an episode of “Friends.”Lastly, the writing was addicting. Because it was so funny, I didn’t want to put this book down. There was a permanent smile on my face. In addition, I loved the way the author interwove Gabrielle’s legal career with the romance with the friendships and with the mystery that follows the characters throughout both books.These are the first two books in the Lawyers In Love series – it is Gabrielle and Braden’s complete story. There are other books in the series; however they will be about other couples. I highly recommend you read these if you want a good laugh and a very sexy read!
