Holding out for a hero?

Eh, not so much. Felicity Hart doesn’t have the time or inclination for love. She’s too busy working her butt off to complete her Master’s Degree. So what is she doing at a Halloween party dressed like a Cinderella-wanna-be when she could be home studying?—or better yet, sleeping. Oh, God, yes. Sleeping Beauty had the best idea.

What’s the worst that could happen if she catches a quick nap in the host’s bedroom? Well… Caught by the panty-dropping homeowner, Jared, her first instinct—aside from dying of embarrassment—is to run, but her sexy prince convinces her there’s no need to rush off into the night. There’s plenty of room in his bed for two.

When she wakes up the next morning wrapped around him like a vine on Rapunzel’s tower, it’s not just her shoe she leaves behind, but her whole dress—and maybe, just maybe, a tiny sliver of her heart. With a little help from friends, Jared tracks down his runaway princess so he can return her dress. Over lunch they discover have much more in common than just sexual attraction. Jared might be a workaholic attorney, but his fun side is ready and willing to play…in the hot tub, in the shower…He’s the kind of man Felicity never thought existed: A damn good man with a bad boy’s soul.
But can a fairy tale romance survive when the pressures of real life interfere? Or is happily-ever-after just make-believe?

Readers will love this sexy new series with sophisticated, bad boy heroes and intelligent, independent heroines...Welcome to Ever After where true love and your perfect prince charming are just around the corner!

I loved this sweet story by Lauren Smith

Reviewed in Australia on 14 March 2017

I loved this sweet story by Lauren Smith; it was a touching story that made me both smile and teary, sometimes at the same time. I haven’t read anything by Lauren Smith before but I love her writing style and the real life feel of this book.

Jared is so sweet, a really good guy. He’s a workaholic lawyer hoping to make partner. With his life is on track, everything working out as planned, there’s no time for a relationship……but life is full of surprises. Her name is Felicity, she’s sweet, innocent, never been in a relationship. She’s very independent, still in college working towards a career and job opportunity she’s dreamed about; they are so cute together! Their first meeting still makes me smile.

Neither of them planned for a relationship at this time but not everything in life can be planned, as they quickly find out. It is such a real story in that way, the ups and downs, and a few obstacles to throw them course. I enjoyed their journey as they discover their feelings and try to figure out if they can and if so how they make this new relationship fit into their independent future plans.

This is the first book in the Ever After series and I’m looking forward to book two. I can’t wait to read more from this author and I’m hoping to reconnect with these characters and some other favorites, Thad and Angelo. I would love to read Layla and Tanner’s story too please.

Contemporary take on Cinderella

Reviewed in Canada on 17 March 2017

LEGALLY CHARMING features two workaholics, one an alpha-lawyer who doesn't see himself as a Knight in Shining Armor, but his caring and nurturing brings out the Prince in him, and the other, a goal-driven young woman who accepts her economic and living situation, making the best of it, and doesn't see herself as a Princess, but feels like one when in the arms of her Prince.

This is a well-written, enjoyable quick read, with interesting primary and secondary characters in fun situations, with a big dollop romance, a bit of angst, lots of passion, sweetness, sexiness and fairy tale elements in a contemporary setting, and exciting city locale.

Instant attraction and instant love are featured with a few conflicts to disrupt the love. The hero and heroine meet in an usual way and from there the reader is whisked into a birdseye view of their roller coaster ride of love, career and serious decisions as they venture on their romantic journey.

Fairy Tale with a Legal spin

Reviewed in the United States on 14 March 2017

I was sent an ARC by the author/publisher to fairly review.
The chemistry between Felicity and Jared is both adorable and electrifying. Felicity is all kinds of innocent, whereas Jared is older than his age. Yet somehow they make the idea of falling in love with an opposite not only feel plausible, but idyllic.
I loved how the doubts and problems that the relationship faces are discussed every step of the way. At no time is the reader left asking whether that situation really would have worked in the real world, but on the flip side the story still does feel heady and romantic.
As always, my love for secondary characters must be addressed, and the author did a fabulous job developing not just characters for future books, but also characters that are clearly meant to support the main players as the series continues.
I can’t wait for the next book in this series. Well played!

Absolutely Loved Jared and Felicity's story. Sweet, developed and wonderfully written. I loved their connection and passion right from the start. I loved their chemistry. The secondary characters within this story were fantastic and supportive. I loved that this book was just a sweet romantic read like all the others by this author I was drawn in from the first page until the last. I loved the twists and passion behind Jared's character and what he wanted out of life but also what he wanted for Felicity. I won't give too much away but the ending...aww swoon. Absolutely epic read.

This book was a joy to read! Highly recommended!

Reviewed in the United States on 8 April 2017

I loved this book for a lot of reasons. After reading a handful of harsh, gritty, and difficult books, this book was a welcome reprieve. This book has a hopeful tone, the characters are generally upbeat, and no major catastrophe befalls anyone. There's plenty of bumps along the road to HEA, but no major angst.

Felicity is an art history grad student employed part time at a gallery. Money is tight for her, but she's got her end goal in sight and she's working towards it. Jared is an ambitious attorney with nothing on his radar except work and more work.

After the cutest meet-cute ever, Felicity and Jared are each aware of the strong chemistry between them. Felicity battles a moderate case of the not-good-enoughs because her background is modest and small-town compared to Jared's wealthy family, while Jared struggles with balancing his professional obligations with his new passion for Felicity.

Jared, it could be argued, is too perfect. He's handsome and successful and charming. He stands up for his girl, loves his family, and performs like a stallion in the sack. He's gentle and sweet, but still just the right amount of dominant when it's naughty time. But I say he's just the right amount of perfect. He's book-boyfriend perfect, and I'm putting in my dibs. (#Ilickeditsoitsmine)

The supporting characters - Felicity's bff Layla, her employer Sabine, Jared's friends Thad and Anthony, their families - are all a lot of fun too and add humor and pathos and magic throughout the story. Can't wait to read the promised follow-ups about Thad and Anthony and their true loves!

Legally Charming- Jared's my new book boyfriend! Well Done, Lauren Smith!!

Reviewed in the United States on 26 May 2017

Verified Purchase

Legally Charming introduces Lauren Smith's Ever After series and Felicity and Jared. Jared is an up and coming attorney from a well-to-do family, while Felicity is a graduate student from a distinctly working-class family. Numerous hurdles, including Jared's high-powered boss and Felicity's own insecurities, make for a few bumps along the path to happiness.
Both Felicity and Jared are such likable characters that I was in their corner from page 1. I also enjoyed seeing the romance from both Jared and Felicity's perspectives as their decisions are influenced by careers and career goals as their relationship develops.
A quick read which made me giggle and also shed a few tears, Legally Charming is firmly on my keeper shelf and I am looking forward to getting to getting better acquainted with the background characters as this series progresses.

A present day fairy tale with a successful lawyer meeting a struggling art major finishing her master degree and their challenges along the bumpy road to relationship nirvanha. Well written, well plotted and relatable characters had me easily rating four stars even though it was a bit too perfect. But, it is a fairy tale and I really like fairy tales and HEAs. So if you believe in love and good people, then you will enjoy this pleasurable read.

3 Cute Stars

Legally Charming (Ever After #1) by Lauren Smith
3 stars!!!

“Sometimes a girl wants to know if a man will fight for her. So if you want her bad enough, fight for her.”

Lauren Smith is a new to me author and I was drawn to this book because of “Legal” being in the title. I do love books set in that domain and hot lawyers are definitely easy to read about. Legally Charming is a book I enjoyed, it was what I deem an “easy read,” everything was nice, sweet with a little angst and a lot of insta love.

Felicity Hart was a likeable character in so far as she was sweet, innocent and naïve, but for me the damsel in distress act did get a little old after a while. For someone extremely intelligent, I found her very flaky and she was just a little too wet for me to warm up to. Felicity was very insecure about herself, especially her curves, and she couldn’t see the beautiful woman underneath despite who and how many times people told her otherwise. Felicity was however extremely independent which was a fantastic trait, even if rather annoying at times when you just wanted her to accept help when she really needed it. Overall though, I liked her.

Jared Redmond was your typical red blooded, alpha lawyer. Jared worked all the hour’s god sends to further his career and hopefully make partner in the firm that is owned by his ex-girlfriend’s father (cue drama). He wasn’t a defender or prosecutor but worked in real estate law which is apparently just as demanding. Jared had no time for romance or relationships, his work ethic had only one track, focus, focus, focus. Jared was extremely good at his job and that is the way he wanted it to stay or at least did until he wandered in on a sleeping Felicity in his bed.

“…You don’t walk away from the chemistry we have. When I touch you? It makes my entire body burn. I’ve never felt that way about anyone else.”

Legally Charming was the proverbial player to love sick puppy story line and was predictable, the little plot twist I could see coming a mile away and the ex-girlfriend drama was a foregone conclusion, but for an easy read this was perfect. Personally, I would have liked a little more depth to the characters but Lauren Smith surprised me when my eyes were leaking at one point so the emotional connection I crave was there. I was curled up on my sofa reading away without a care in the world, this was a great lazy weekend read.
