I remember buying it because I thought the cover was gorgeous. I didn't even read the blurb. I just assumed it will be a decent second chance romance or something along those lines and, if nothing else, I'll own a pretty looking book.
Boy, was I wrong! And am I ever pissed at myself for not reading this sooner!!
I devoured THE EX in pretty much one sitting. This almost NEVER happens. I am talking "couldn't wait to ditch the New Years Eve party I was at so I could get back home and read some more"!
This riveting, exquisitely written legal thriller grabs you on page one and doesn't let go till the very end. I couldn't get enough of the strong characters and the story line that was full of twists and had me guessing till the very last few pages. Not to mention all the legal jargon that was on point courtesy of author herself being a law professor and ex-Deputy District Attorney, among other things.
I usually have the hardest time finding heroines that leave a lasting impression. This wasn't the case with Olivia Randall. I'd love to read about her more and was over the moon to discover that she has appeared in a couple of more titles of Ms. Burke's that I am off to read ASAP!
There was so much more I wanted to say in my review but, as usual, I can't find all the right words to express everything I feel. And besides, even if I could find the words, I could never put them in coherent enough sentences to do this book justice anyways so I won't even try.
In a nutshell: if you ever picked up a book based on one of my recs in the past and enjoyed it, trust me on this one, OK?
P.S. The ending of this book had me grinning like a loon. You'll get why if/when you read the book.
