First law of magnetism: opposite poles attract.

Single mom Vivian has been burned by love once before, and her job as a divorce lawyer has presented enough evidence to convince her there are no good men left in New York City.

The worst offender is her new neighbor: Dr. Lucas Keller, a couple’s therapist whose piercing blue eyes and flawless dark hair are just as annoying as his bad temper.

But when Luke starts poaching Vivian’s clients by saving their marriages, she makes it her mission to force him out of the building to save her practice. But it’s Luke who gives her the perfect opportunity when he proposes an unexpected bet.

With their offices at stake, Vivian and Luke play the field of love in a fierce battle of wits that quickly turns hot and personal, especially when Vivian’s daughter gets involved. Now, taking down Luke has become more than business for Vivian. It’s become a pleasure—and soon, Vivian and Luke will realize how pointless it is to fight the laws of attraction.

Never has the phrase opposites been so completely apt.  We have the divorce lawyer and the couples counseller, and their outlooks on almost everything seem to differ at least on the surface. 

From their initial meeting which is rather amusing, this keeps up at a pace with them butting heads at every opportunity.  They end up in offices next to each other, it turns out their best friends have just got engaged and are wanting to matchmake. 

In fact they persuade Vivian and Lucas to join the dating agency they used and we are treated to all manner of hideous dates that were of course rather entertaining to the outside observer, or reader! 

The story is told from alternating viewpoints, so we really get to know our two protaganists, and I absolutely loved both of them. And Vivian's teenage daughter Tegan who is rather key to the story and in getting Vivian to see past her first impressions of Lucas. 

This is Camilla Isley at her very best, its funny, its touching, it has threads of a tricky storyline, and the banter and chemistry between to the two leads is rather evident from the beginning and there is even an unusual epilogue! 

It's just a sheer pleasure to read, and like I find with all of this authors books, its a very quick and easy book to read, and I read it in two sittings, and the only time I was parted from it, was while I was asleep! (The hazards of starting a book at 2am).   

This is just so entertaining and I loved it a lot. 

Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
