He’s the ruthless lawyer with a not-so-little black book, and one simple rule as unyielding as his heart:
Nothing more than a month.
She’s the doctoral student helping to raise his niece. His brother’s best friend.
And the valium for his soul he had no business wanting.
To be fair, she did ask him for advice–on what she could do to stop being ‘the nice girl’ for a little bit. All he did … for a little bit. All he did was answer truthfully:
”Try something new that excites you.”
…Preferably him.
”A fast-paced, heartfelt, and fun read!” — #1 NYT Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely
”This book gave me one of the worst (or best) book hangovers I’ve had in a LONG time. I absolutely LOVED it.” — Mama’s Reading Break

NOTE TO READERS: This is Book #1 in a three-part 600-pg SERIAL (also available as a bundled box set). Each book in the trilogy has a separate story arc in the greater love triangle, and need to be read in order.

my favourite book
Fun book. Spent all of the day reading it.
I really enjoyed the witty banter/comebacks between the characters and their fun, sexy times together. I also really appreciate the note from the author reminding the reader that this is the first book in the series, that they must be read in order and that if you don’t like cliff hangers – she provides info on subsequent books or ordering them …
What a beautiful story. Abby and Conner have been in each other’s lives for the past decade, though mostly in passing. Abby is best friend’s with Brian, Conner’s younger brother and has been helping him with his daughter while he dealt with his wife’s illness and unfortunate death. She’s the good girl with an exceptionally bad experience in her …
I enjoyed this book although I found it a bit confusing to start with I very soon got into it. Your faced with a man Connor who doesn’t know how to love yet he falls for women Abby who has been helping his widowed brother and daughters for years. But he only dates women for 1 month, then he goes no notes, no gifts and no goodbyes. Conner persuades …
Disclaimer right away, this one ends with a “look over your shoulder” WHAT! and that is okay because I am assured it picks up right away with book 2 so don’t start this unless you have all 3 books.
Abby is just too sweet for her own good. She is best friends with one brother who is the all-around good guy who has stood by his dying wife for …
The moment that Connor Sullivan spots his brother Brian walking through the door with a heavenly beauty on his arm he is intrigued; not only because his brother hasn’t dated in forever and bringing a date to one of his functions seems so out of character for him; but also because the woman on his arm has an undeniable magnetic pull that he just …
Enjoyable, quick read!
Absolutely loved this story! Violet Duke pulls you in through her characters and their interactions! Was not crazy about Abby and I really disliked how Connor only ever committed to 1 month. I enjoyed the banter between these 2 characters. I laughed! I cried! And I kept hoping they would figure out they belong together! …
Wonderful
This book starts off a great trilogy of finding love. Conner is the high power attorney that has never had anything more than a girlfriend for more than one month at a time. Abby is working on getting her dissertation finished and is best friends to Conner’s brother Ben. The twist and turns are great.
This is part one in a three part serial and as such it ends on a cliffhanger. A well written storyline, complex characters and plenty of emotions are brought together into an engaging read. I thought the chemistry between Connor and Abby was steamy and I really liked them together. I do have to say this: Even with being a serial, I am surprised at …
Very well done. Great characters, H, h and villain. Great witty banter. Awesome passion, and romance. A great read staring book two ASAP.
This is the first book in this series, more likely considered a serial. Be warned there is a cliffhanger, as the author clearly states in the book blurb. Abby and Connor’s chemistry is amazing, and they seem like such a great fit. But with that cliffhanger in there, you just really don’t know what will happen. To me, that’s part of the mystery and …
Great reading for a romance book
I really liked this book! I really liked where they were going as a couple but then they do a weird kind of twist at the very end. I didn’t like that twist.
Part 1 of a series. Not a HEA. Hard to put down.
