Ajay is Hem’s brother and Raj is Mina’s best friend and their interactions in the previous book, while brief, laid the foundation for this story. Raj has a marriage of convenience that is ending at the beginning of the book and she is looking to make changes in both her business and personal life. Ajay is the future CEO of Bharat, his family business, but that is jeopardy by both internal and outside forces. When they come together, the chemistry is explosive!
Nisha Sharma has done such an amazing job of crafting believable, flawed, and still amazingly describable characters in The Legal Affair. Raj is especially my favorite. She is the tough as nails CEO who built her business from the ground up, and seems to have a heart of ice. However, underneath that tough exterior is a woman who has been burned by her family in the past and now her soon to be ex husband. She doesn’t want to be vulnerable to Ajay but he slowly strips off her layers. Plus who can’t help but love a heroine who is tough and yet has a soft side for dogs! Ajay portrays the confident business man on the outside, but inside is concerned that he is making the wrong choices for his family business. The problems with Bharat have shaken Ajay’s confidence in himself and I loved watching Raj support him through that. In addition to all the workplace drama, this book is so freaking sexy! Both Raj and Ajay know what they want in the bedroom and those scenes are steam up the screen of my Kindle hot!
I loved this story and Nisha left me desperately waiting for the final book in the trilogy by dropping hints about the third brother, Zail and his heroine. Overall, I highly recommend The Legal Affair! Check it out now and consider ordering it from an indie bookstore!

Jules and Jake were the most adorable couple! Throughout the book, you forgot how young they are because they both had to grow up so fast! Jake's relaJules and Jake were the most adorable couple! Throughout the book, you forgot how young they are because they both had to grow up so fast! Jake's relationship with his daughter was adorable and I liked that he wasn't afraid to trust Jules with her. Love Hard might be up there with Rock Hard for my favorite Nalini Singh contemporary!

I don’t read as many historical romances as I used to but the ones I’ve read recently have been truly excellent. And that includes both Would I Lie toI don’t read as many historical romances as I used to but the ones I’ve read recently have been truly excellent. And that includes both Would I Lie to the Duke and the previous book in the series, My Fake Rake. I will admit, I’m not the biggest fan of books where the hero/heroine are lying about something big that you know will come out and have the potential to wreck everything. That being said, Eva Leigh handles Jess’s false identity and Noel final reaction to it beautifully and realistically. Jess feels like she has the weight of the world on her. She wants to be the one to fix her family’s business and stumbles into a fake identity along the way.
Noel immediately knows that he wants Jess. The attraction between them is burning. But even from their first meeting, it’s Jess’s intelligent mind that draws him like a moth to a flame. Noel, despite being the powerful duke, is not the traditional historical alpha.
"It should have been wrong or strange to issue commands to him. The difference in their true stations was impossibly wide, never to be breached. But having him serve her felt right, in a profound sense that even now she was coming to understand. Because he yielded his power to her, trusting her with it, and even as that yielding filled her with humility, she was emboldened, too. He believed in her. He recognized her power." Would I Lie to the Duke by Eva Leigh, Chapter 11
I loved the sexually submissive duke that Noel is and it is so authentic to the relationship between Noel and Jess. They really work together as a couple and, both inside the bedroom and out. Noel is able to let go of the weight and expectations of being a duke and fall into Jess. Jess is able to be in charge in this situation without the pressures of her family business. They are two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly. The relationship between Noel and Jess is really what drives the book and helps me overcome with discomfort with the secret identity plot.
This is an unique spin on the traditional historical romances and I’m so happy with the direction the genre is moving. This is one of the most beautifully crafted historical romances I’ve ever read and I’m just enamored by it and can’t recommend it enough!

She writes with some evocative and imaginative language. Her writing style and imagery reminds me of the sweeping tales from old school romance writers like Virginia Henley but without the craziness and cringe-worthy plots. When The Earl Met His Match is a complex story. Phoebe, the heroine, is headstrong and sometimes acts without thinking, which ends her in trouble and on the doorstep of Hugh, the hero. Hugh is mute and a soon to be Earl who needs to marry. He has been writing with Phoebe but is in for a shock when she shows up unannounced with a serious issue that requires his help and hand in marriage. I’m a fan of marriage stories where the heroine and hero have to work out their issues and attraction to each other while already being bond. Hugh doesn’t want to fall in love and the passionate Phoebe is a risk to that desire. Both are seriously influenced by their past and need to work to overcome that. But when they do give in to their passion and eventual love, it is so beautiful and enduring!
