Desciption
He's Playing GamesThough Rylann Pierce tried to fight the sparks she felt for billionaire heir Kyle Rhodes the night they met, their sizzling chemistry was undeniable. But after being stood up on their first date, Rylann never expected to see him again. So when she finds herself face-to-face with Kyle in a courthouse nine years later, she's stunned. More troubling to the beautiful assistant U.S. attorney is that she's still wildly attracted to him.But She's Making The RulesJust released from prison, Kyle Rhodes isn't thrilled to be the star witness in a high-profile criminal case—but when Rylann comes knocking at his door, he finds she may be the one lawyer he can't say no to. Still as gorgeous and sharp-tongued as ever, she lays down the law: she doesn't mix business with pleasure. But Kyle won't give up on something he wants—and what he wants is the one woman he's never forgotten.
Review
I liked the characters well enough and the storyline was actually pretty fun. But the DIALOGUE. So horrible.She's sassy. He just keeps repeating that she's so sassy. But she's not actually sassy. She just sort of didn't fall all over herself to sleep with him right away. That's it. She's actually not all that amazing personality-wise. Regardless, what adult calls another adult sassy? Much less over and over? I guess billionaires fantasize about sassy women or something. <--did I mention he's a billionaire?Because he is. You know, just casually. It doesn't play into the story much, other than he doesn't have to eat Ramen noodles and he has one of those idiotic cars with doors that open upward like it has wings. Because those don't look pretentious and stupid as fuck or anything. Plus, I don't know, it's like we're supposed to think he's hard because he's an ex-con. Ok. He was in prison for 6 months. For HACKING TWITTER. And there's this one scene where he 'scares' these young hackers with his dweeby prison stories. Ahahaha!Get outta here. 6 months for hacking Twitter does not a tough guy make.And she asked him if he worked out every day while he was in prison to explain his nice body. <--stop it. just stop it.So.Supposedly, he's this brilliant computer genius, heir to a billion-dollar fortune, a tough ex-con, and still pining over her from the ONE time they met in a bar back in college and he walked her home. Also.Assistant District Attorney. <--we get it. It's your job title.There was really no need for that full title to be repeated ad nauseam throughout the book.He thought she was a great Assistant District Attorney.She loved her job as an Assistant District Attorney.He realized he was talking to the Assistant District Attorney.Sorry, I have to take this call because I'm an Assistant District Attorney.Jesus Christ, cut it out! And all the lawyer puns? Ohmyfuckinggod. Lawyers don't sit around making references like I'll plead the 5th to their other lawyer friends. I used to love Julie James but this...? The dialogue was ridonkulously cheesy and just killed what could have been a cute story for me.I listened to the audiobook and it did nothing to alleviate the pain of getting through this one. Blech.
