Working as a secretary isn’t the dream, but it’s all I have going for me. A new job in a new city was my chance at a fresh start–and I needed this opportunity to get my foot in the door.Croft, Sloan, Parker, and Croft is an elite law firm with a reputation that can’t be disputed. Though, I didn’t expect I’d be working for a man as tempting as Dane Croft. I also never thought a single file … file crossing my desk could change my life in ways I never imagined.
I was just a secretary–until that first threat.
I was just his secretary–until the Bridgewater Case.
Falling for my boss was never the plan…
But sometimes, the best things in life aren’t penciled in.

R.C. Martin is one of those writers, whose books I wish more readers would discover and read, because she’s a great writer who really knows how to write a wonderful story. ‘The bridgewater case’ is another story of her that I really adored and enjoyed.
Sigourney (nickname Sally) Salenger’s big dream has always been to become a lawyer and she was so close to it but anxiety by the bar exam made that she had to put her dream on hold.
In the meanwhile she start a new job as a secretary for the lawyer Dane Croft. Someone who has a reputation for being a good and ambitious lawyer. Both are surprised when they meet the other for the first time. They didn’t expect the other to be so young and they certainly didn’t expect to feel an attraction to the other. But they both have a lot to prove to themselves and to others so they decide to ignore the attraction and to act professional. And that works very well in the beginning but the more time they spend together and the more they get to know each other, the harder it is to ignore the intense attraction. And then something bad happens what makes that Dane wants to protect Sigourney and one way to do that is to stay close to her all the time. Because Sigourney is his and Dane will do anything he can to protect her, even if he has to break his own rules to do that.
I love this story. I really enjoyed the interaction between Dane and Sigourney. They are both wonderful characters. Dane is a guy who knows what he wants. But one of the many things that I loved about him is that he believes in Sigourney talents and he supports her. That fact that he isn’t a manwhore is another big plus for me. It was a relief after reading so many stories about manwhores. I really appreciate that both characters respected each other intelligence and ambitions. I found them a fantastic couple.
The story is told from both POV’s. The sex scenes are steamy and I liked the little suspense in the story. I’m really happy that I read this story.
4.5 Perfect Counsel Stars
I love Dane & Sally ~ they are both strong, intelligent, ambitious yet down-to-earth people that jump hurdles to go for what they want. The suspense kept me turning the pages, the character development made me connect with the story and the perfect balance of sexy made for an AMAZING read. I enjoy a good Lawyer read and this one delivered – my heart felt for Janet and I admire Dane & Sally tenacity to find the information, given the circumstances. I adore the relationship that Sally had with her sister, Elle and the emails…SUPERB!
I cannot say enough GOOD things about this book ~ PICK IT UP!
I love Ms Martin’s books and couldn’t wait to read The Bridgwater Case. I was blown away and this is my favourite book of hers to date! I was glued to my kindle and read it at every available opportunity.
I have a soft spot for men in suits so Dane is… 100% perfection and all mine!! I adored him! He is sexy, bossy when needed and bossy when not but didn’t come across that way, if you get what I mean!
I loved Sally too and she was his equal in more ways than one!
This is a book you will not be dissapointed reading! It deserves way more than 5 stars! Thank you Ms Martin, I absolutely loved it!!!
Ms. Martin’s books has never disappointed me and this book was no exception. Sally moves to a different state to get a fresh start after failing the bar exam. Dane is one of the partners at a law firm that Sally goes to work for as his secretary. Soon their relationship becomes more than just boss/secretary. Dane is the perfect boyfriend that any woman can ask for. I just love this story, I love Sally and Dane, they are so perfect together.
