“First book in the Casella Cousins series. Funny, attractive and hot. Just as the blurb said it was an enemies-to-lovers story. Hayley and Paul really knew how to make a fight laughable. Hayley is a persecutor and Paul is a defense attorney. Every time they are together the attraction seemed explosive but as much as they fought to resist the pull the spark was undeniable. Family issues behind them and a constant drag for trouble. Wonderful story indeed! I’m looking forward for more the next installments.”
This is the 1st in a new series about the Casella cousins’ novellas and is Hayley and Pauls story. These two are used to butting heads in the court room as Hayley is assistant DA and Paul is a Defence attorney. Paul is working towards partner in the prestigious law firm he works at and is determined nothing in going to stand in his way despite the sizzling chemistry between him and Hayley. These two both have family dramas to overcome. This is a well written story which is heartfelt and entertaining, and I look forward to reading more in this series. I recommend this for all readers.
4 star Review Hayley by Kathryn Shay
Kathryn Shay is a new author to me and how I have not come across her books before, I have absolutely no idea. This is book one in her latest series and I was excited to jump in. The writing was strong, with characters that were easy to relate to and a story line that you cannot help but become invested in.
The chemistry and connection between Hayley Casella and Paul Covington is electric and you could almost feel the tension as it increased between them, both in and out of the court room. Both are successful opposing attorneys, each determined to win and as they pit themselves against one another, sparks soon fly.
Both Hayley and Paul have family issues which will create problems for them, however if they both take a chance then maybe they will find that love can overcome anything that life throws at you. .
This is an entertaining read that ticked the boxes for me and I am excited to see what Ms.Shay has in store for the series.
I love Katherine Shays books and this one sure didn’t disappoint me! It’s the story of an ADA and a lawyer who prove that love and hate are two sides of the same coin. Both have unresolved family issues which cause problems between them but love does conquer all! I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
Haley and Paul are opposing attorneys who both love to win. Their sparring in court causes fireworks for them. They are both from completely different backgrounds but that doesn’t stop them from seeing how their relationship might go.
This is a well written and entertaining story with likeable characters and an interesting storyline which I thoroughly enjoyed.
