GRR Reviews The Law of Attraction (Lawyers in Love) by N.M. Silber

The Law of Attraction could have been excellent rom-com, except this is only one part of the series, and ends in a cliffhanger, Furthermore, the characters felt very... cliche.

Gabrielle is a public defender, and Branden is an assistant DA. Their jobs may collide, but they are well acquainted with each other... in and out of court (and bed). They want to take their relationship to the next level, but that couldn't work when they are technically on opposite sides of the court system... so they keep putting it off until their love/lust started to affect their performance. Add to the various criminals and judges they had to deal with, and the journey toward love is never a straight line... and often, uproariously funny line.

If you like the rom-com style of writing, you should like this fine, but the characters really did feel like cliches, basically romance archetypes, and are not that deep. It felt a bit like "The Office" or "Silicon Valley", even with a dash of "Dilbert", albeit, with lawyers.
