Jessica knew injustice. She was attacked by her boss, then when she brought charges, his lawyers turned the tables and accused her of entrapping him. Not only did she lose, she ended up paying HIS lawyer fees AND got slapped with a gag order, and nobody will hire a lawyer with a history of suing their boss. Which is why she's a temp now... barely making ends meet, for she had nowhere else to go. And she can NOT allow any man to get close to her... // Max knew Jessica, his new temp, had been hurt before. He could see the panic in her eyes when he got close to her. He knew that PTSD look from his brother, who came back from the Middle East broken. He wanted her, but knew he had to be careful...
Eh... While Jessica is easy to understand, Max seems to have a split personality, occasional alpha male, often "sensitive guy", sometimes oblivious. And the revenge scene, left to the very end, felt... rather unsatisfying.
Also, the legal situation doesn't make sense. Rape charge is a criminal charge i.e. State vs. Perp. What was described would only work if a) criminal charges are dropped then b) the perp sued HER for defamation in a civil court which are separate actions. 2.5/5
