As soon as I touch down I’m obsessing over red telephone boxes, palaces and all the black cabs. But my favorite place is the tube. It’s wall-to-wall hot British men in suits.
When I’m offered a temporary job working for a barrister, I say, sign me up. On my first commute into work, it’s a total accident when I lose my balance and fall against the most handsome Brit alive. He’s as charming as James Bond and as suave as Mr. Darcy. I want to lick tea from his hard abs and listen to his accent all night long.
Turns out Mr. Handsome is my new boss. And his attitude isn’t as hot as his gorgeous face, broad shoulders and tight ass. He’s brooding, short-tempered and the most arrogant man I’ve ever met.
As we’re fighting, out of nowhere he kisses me. And I’m pretty sure I see fireworks over Big Ben and hear God Save the Queen. I wasn’t looking for the fairytale but I might have found my knight in shining armor.

Review: I liked this book very much. Even if the romance itself is a bit predictable, the insight into the British legal system kept my attention throughout the book, as did Violet's adjustment to working in the UK and in her new particular job.
Still, Violet was a character I had some trouble understanding, as she's not very coherent sometimes. Throughout the book we see Alex making a lot of effort to tame his workaholic tendencies and spend more time with Violet, and it was hard to see her run away the very first time he fails to show up to dinner with her. Yes, it was an important date for her, but it was one time. And instead of talking to him, accepting his apology and working things out, she hops on a plane and disappears from his life. Yes, he's not blameless, but he was trying, so throw him a bone, will you?
Other than that, great romance story and swoon worthy happily ever after. A bit untamed in terms of sex scenes, though, so if that bothers you this book may not be for you (or you may need to skip a few pages here and there).
Happy readings!
