It probably goes back to when I was a teenager and my way of coping with feeling different from every one else was to pretend I was above the hype.
It’s because I can be stubborn and foolishly snobbish when it comes to books (or movies or TV series) that everyone seems to love.
This ice queen / age gap / workplace erotic romance was my first book by this author, and this time I know why. Every time Laurie asked Diana if she’s okay, my heart sighed. So obviously the sex was steamy – and not repetitive, which is in itself remarkable when there’s so much of it – but what really got to me were the tender gestures, as reluctant as they were. Which in a way makes the sex even hotter since it’s desperate. It also inadvertently prevents them from talking about what they really want and feel. But before that, the two women agree on some sort of arrangement that is supposed to protect Laurie from feeling used by her boss (and from getting her heart broken) and Diana from taking responsibility for her actions and admitting she might be gay (she’s married to a man and all that). Diana is so deep into the closet that acknowledging her attraction to Laurie kinda feels like the end of the world, and then feelings get into play and it gets even worse.
She doesn’t seem like the right fit for the job but Diana soon learns that where Laurie is concerned, what seems wise might not actually be wise. Laurie Holcombe is a sociology student from Zebulon, Georgia, hoping to get to law school while paying her bills. Not that I have anything against fanfic but this is so well-written that it doesn’t need any visual aid.ĭiana Parker is a hotshot lawyer in Atlanta looking for an assistant. I wish I hadn’t known this was based on The Devil Wears Prada fanfic, because it took me a while to get the images from the movie out of my mind and let new ones appear.
