From the New York Times bestselling author of It Happened One Wedding comes a novel about a man and a woman whose summer is about to get very, very hot... Divorce lawyer Victoria Slade has seen enough unhappy endings to swear off marriage forever. That doesn't mean she's opposed to casual dating—just not with her cocky new neighbor, who is as gorgeous and tempting as he is off-limits. But once she agrees to take on his sister's case, she's as determined to win as ever—even if that means teaming up with Ford... Investigative journalist Ford Dixon is bent on finding the man who got his sister pregnant and left her high and dry. He's willing to partner with Victoria, despite the fact that the beautiful brunette gets under his skin like no other woman. He might not be looking to settle down, but there's no denying the scorching attraction between them. Still, the more time he spends with Victoria, the more he realizes that the one woman as skeptical about love as he is might be the only woman he could really fall for... “If you need a great read to throw in your beach bag, make sure Suddenly One Summer is one of your choices.”—USA Today

Victoria Slade: Oh, I'm a classic Julie James' damsel-in-distress but really I'm a strong, capable, dedicated, witty, funny, sexy, smart and elegant woman. And I have mommy issues, I have panic disorder. Oh, and I think my neighbor is a jerk, but he's oh-so-hot and yummy! Definitely gonna bang him.
Ford Dixon: I'm good-looking, I'm smart, I work hard, I'm a chick-magnet. I have daddy issues. I think my neighbor sucks, but she's damn fine. Definitely gonna bang her.
I blame Smart Bitches, Trashy Books for my current fascination with romance novels. This author has been repeatedly recommended on the DBSA podcast so I decided to give it a shot. High powered lawyer living in Wicker Park and visiting coffeshops I've been to... so it was fun that way. I liked how it ended too.
I'd give it 2.5 chili peppers for spice. It had some good spice but not a ton.
