Blackjack and Moonlight's story was heart touching romantic read. Blackjack made me think of a gallant knight in a judge's robe. The way the two of them met was hilarious and funny. I'm sure it's met to be romantic too but as cynic as I am like Elise, I found it a little bothering that he fell in love with her at first sight. But then, there's no proof that it's not possible in real life so I don't really know what to feel about it. For a hero though, Jack was bemusing. It's as though he was born in the wrong era but that alone made him swoon worthy and lovable.Elise on the other hand was a force to reckon with. Brilliant lawyer and love cynic, I actually found myself excited on what Jack will do to turn the tables around. Though I must say that the pace was a little bit slow for me. Or maybe I'm just dying to know how Jack will make Elise fall in love with him that I felt that the story was going a bit slow.The plot itself however was really good. For once, it's nice to see a man doing all the effort to actually have the woman fell for him. It's almost always, 'I'm into the sex not romance kind of guy' heroes that heroine needed to tame and change their mind so now that the wheel is reversed, I must say I really enjoyed reading the book.  I don't think that the courtroom will ever be the same again for me after reading Jack and Elise' story.
