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…

我的評比:4葉

Victoria 是專精離婚案件的律師,擁有自己的事務所,一日因住宅發生竊賊入侵,讓她心生恐懼,無法再居住於該屋,新屋交屋前,只能短期租房,做了報社記者Ford的隔牆鄰居。後來義務性接了Ford 妹妹,單親媽媽Nicole的親權案件,兩人共同合作,因而發展出一段糾纏不清的關係…

注意到上面沒有用”愛情”來描述主角間的互動嗎? 雖然Victoria 與Ford間床戲是夠辣了,但感情描寫相當薄弱,並未讓人感受到有滋滋作響的火花,兩人都因過去的創傷經歷,懼怕承諾,只願維持肉體關係,雙方間缺乏信任,以往在JJ書裡主角的職業都能彰顯他們的聰慧傑出,但這本兩人工作上的成功,並不代表感情智商也高,總是看到自以為是的猜忌、誤會。倒是副線: Nicole與小孩父親要如何安排扶養小孩的劇情很吸引人,可惜最後並沒有很具體的細節交待。佔了相當篇幅的恐慌症,是否能引起本地外曼讀者的共鳴,也是個疑問。

這本可單獨閱讀,非FBI/US Attorney系列,唯一的連結是「愛,無從抗拒」女主角Brooke是男主角Ford 的麻吉。JJ 在本書俚語成語的使用比以往來的頻繁,有點不習慣。整體而言是可看可不看的一本書,給三葉半。
