I finished it.
Blurb:
An office attraction becomes something more when they're off the clock in this delightful romantic comedy by the USA Today bestselling author of Not the Girl You Marry.
State attorney Bridget Nolan is successful in all aspects of her life--except romance. After breaking up with her longtime boyfriend, she's been slow to reenter the dating scene. To be honest, she has more important things to do like putting bad guys behind bars. But with her brother's wedding right around the corner, she suddenly needs a date and fast. Lucky for Bridget, the legal intern is almost done with his program.
Matt Kido is dumbstruck by Bridget--total love at first sight--but there's one problem. She's totally off-limits while she's his boss. But the moment he no longer reports to her, Matt asks her on a date. An impulsive decision takes them to Las Vegas where, as the saying goes, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
Unless you put a ring on it.

The Review: 2 Stars
If you are wondering why the intro to this review only has 3 words you can stop now. It only has 3 words because that was all I could come up with.
The book wasn't so bad that I couldn't finish it. But I did not love it enough to have much more than that to say about it either.
Honestly I don't know why I finished it. It was so... Mediocre. Average. Boring.
It wasn't bad. But it wasn't good. There was nothing in its 323 pages to make it special.
Chris, the ex boyfriend, took more page space than most characters. How many times can you tell the same break up story? About half way through the book I started skipping every time his name was mentioned. It got repetitive.
Bridget is meant to be this strong, independent, and powerful lawyer. Yet, we get to see her in action once, with a perv judge. How disappointing...
Matt was ok. If you like your nice guys he is it. There is nothing bad about him, but nothing exciting either. He is just a nice guy. Forgettable.
There is also an issue with abortion. Some books readers will rally behind it. Some will cringe or even hate it. And some, like me, will find it unnecessary. It was uncomfortable to read. I pass.
And last but not least, it was like reading 3 bad soap operas at once. There is the evil mother, the evil ex girlfriend, the evil ex boyfriend, the awkward family, the unnecessary plot twist...
The book as a whole was dull.
I can't say I recommend this one. That being said, there is a book for everyone, and many out there are loving it. Maybe read some of those reviews before taking my word for it.
