Emma left her
career in corporate law to pursue her passion for criminal defense, but she
can’t seem to catch a break. So when she lands an interview at a small law
firm, she’s more than thrilled. But she has no idea what she’s in for.
Turns out it’s not
just any law firm, and Henry—her new boss—isn’t exactly, well…human.
Apparently he
drinks blood instead of coffee, and his client list consists of creatures that
go bump in the night.
But, the way Emma sees it, if she can get through law school, she can handle a few
pothead werewolves and shoplifting witches. So she stays. There’s just one
thing she didn’t count on, and that’s catching feelings for her new vampire boss. Henry and his
fangs become a temptation too hard to ignore, and no matter how hard she tries, she
still falls for him. Problem is,
everyone knows office romances have the tendency to crash and burn. But when
your boss is a bloodsucking lawyer, odds are it’s a disaster waiting to happen.

Excerpt:
Copyright @ Nadia Diament 2019
It never hurt to have someone owe you a favor.
Emma walked away from them with a smirk. “Come
on, you don’t want to be late.”
The two men scurried after her and slipped
into one of the elevators just in time for the doors to promptly close behind
them. The sunburned lawyer jabbed the button for the third floor and adjusted
his bag on his shoulder.
“Thank you. I really appreciate it.” The
sincerity in his voice made her look up in time to see him smile.
Emma returned the gesture but blinked in
surprise when she realized that even with the sunburn, the dude in a suit was
attractive. Not just Tucson attractive, but legitimately attractive. She’d been
too distracted earlier to take a proper look. Deep blue eyes and artfully
tousled brown hair. Given the sunburn, he was obviously pale, but she couldn’t
exactly judge when she worked in an office all day and hadn’t had a proper tan
since college.
He was tall and lean, and a three-piece
charcoal suit accentuated his form with grace. As a lawyer, she should’ve been
immune to the precision of a tailored suit by now, but he wore his so damn
well. She’d been deprived since moving back to Tucson, whose general population
relied on a steady supply of t-shirts and shorts. She had to admit, though,
that she would happily take Tucson’s casual vibe; Phoenix’s conservative
concrete jungle had worn her out.
The elevator pinged as the doors slid open, startling
Emma out of her reverie. Now was not the time to be checking this guy out. She
would do him this favor, then see if he had connections at any criminal defense
firms. But nothing else—no personal stuff. She needed a steady paycheck before
she could get lost in the mire of dating. Her student loan bills routinely gave
her heart palpitations.
They hurried through the courthouse and
finally tracked down the right room. As Emma approached, she realized she
didn’t know the dude in the suit’s name.
She extended her hand for him to shake. “I’m
Emma, by the way.”
“Henry.” His grip was firm, confident, and
warm.
Emma didn’t put much stock in the notion that
a handshake defined a person, but she could definitely appreciate the feel of
his. She was reluctant to let go, but eventually did, bound by lame societal
expectations and all that.
Apparently oblivious to her inappropriate
staring, he fished through the inner pocket of his suit for a business card and
a fountain pen. He scrawled something on the back, waved it dry, and handed the
card to her. “My cell phone number.”
Emma ran her fingers back and forth across the
textured linen paper. Mercifully, Wendell kept her from saying or doing
something stupid—like asking Henry out for drinks.
“Er, yes. Nice to meet you, Ms. Emma. Can we
go in now?”
“Of course,” she said with an encouraging
smile.
Emma pulled the door open for Henry’s client
and slipped inside after him. As the door started to shut, she turned back to
look at Henry. Warmth suffused her when he pressed his hands together in prayer
and mouthed a single word to her:
Lifesaver.
Book Review
This was my first read by this author. I was intrigued by the title. I love a good paranormal romance and to have a vampy lawyer as the lead in this romance had me all in to participate. Henry in all his vampy goodness is overworked and not the most personable regardless of your species. He is serious need of help with his practice taking off thanks to the Tucson Underworld. The thought of an entire para-world had me excited and the author did not disappoint on this front -werewolves, ghost, witches to name a few that will sprinkle this colorful cast. (Sidenote: The vampires are in Tuscon aka sun central. I know. I know. That was my thought too. Flame city in at any moment.) Enter the sole human that will be a part of this organization, Emma.
Emma with issues of her own wants/ needs to return to Tucson to be more present for her family and spend more time with her older sister. The fun comes in seeing how Emma will handle finding out that her new boss is not quite human and once the lines of professional and personal are blurred the reader is in for some cute romantic fun.
Emma was not the most likable heroine nor was Henry as dominant and self-assured as I would think a supernatural in his position should have been. But, these two worked somehow for each other. I think the author did a good job of setting up this new series by providing a solidly structured plot, two developed characters to introduce us to the Tucson underworld, coupled with a very interesting cast of characters. While I would have liked the pace to be a bit quicker and the story shortened by 75 pages or so, I understand that setting up this new world takes time and deserves to be delivered expertly, which this author did. I think she is off to a solid start.
