GRR Reviews Bittersweets - Terry and Alex by Suzanne Jenkins

Bittersweets: Terry and Alex managed to set up a triangle that worked with an "evil guy" that's really not that evil.

Terry Kovac, a junior lawyer but well on her way to partnership, had had enough of her ER Doc BF Arvin's immaturity. Arvin is "nice" to be around, but he's nothing really special, and he's just petulant when Terry disagrees with him or called him out on his hypocrisy when he had 10 girls "they're just my friends" at his house party. But with no other prospects, Terry kept Arvin around... until a new law clerk was assigned to her, Alex Hawthorne. Alex is handsome, charming, and after a couple tequila shots and a hot one-night stand, a VERY good lover. Tery and Alex agreed to see each other again... and they can't stop. But there is an anti-fraternization policy at work. They kept it quiet, but when they were exposed, Terry and Alex have to decide whether their love is worth risking their career over...

The book didn't get a 5/5 rating because the ending is a trope: Terry made the better choice, at least for her. You can guess where the story went for the ending. There was no twist.
