Elliott James is a control freak. After being told she was nothing special by her ex, Baker Williams, she’s spent the last eight years proving him wrong. She’s built a life she loves— prominent attorney, partner at her firm, a luxurious penthouse, and the best friends a girl could ask for. After a harrowing encounter last year, she’s determined to get her life back on track. She’s succeeding, until a case brings her face to face with the one man that’s ever made her want to lose control.
Baker Williams started with nothing but determination to make a better life for himself. He’s built an empire he’s proud of, by acquiring companies and working his way up. So when a rogue employee threatens to bring his kingdom tumbling down, he hires the best to defend his case. His only fault is not realizing that the best is Elliott James, and she’s ready to remind him of all the damage he did years ago.
Eight years ago, Elliott and Baker were matches and gasoline. Explosive and hot. Back then, they both walked away burned. When they’re forced to work together long after the flames have died down, they discover they’re just as combustible as ever. Now, they have to figure out how to save each other without their spark burning down everything they’ve worked so hard for in the process.
Pride & Persuasion is available for purchase:
Not going to lie, the title of this novel was the big draw for me to pick it up! I'm a sucker for anything Pride & Prejudice-esque. Elliott and Baker were not expected to be thrown back together. If anything, they've been avoiding each other since their fiery breakup almost a decade ago. To their dismay, they both have to suck it up and work together like professionals. Of course, to be expected, all the unresolved feelings come back up when they get thrown together and the chemistry is just off the wall from then forward. The writing was captivating, as were the characters. This was an explosive love/hate/love dynamic that kept me turning pages. Haven't loved a couple so much in a long time.
