When it comes to the matters raised before him in his courtroom, Judge Andreas Kendrick has no problem demanding order in his court. When it comes to Kennedy Glory, well known and respected attorney who is making a name for herself in Washington, D.C., his robe and gavel holds no power. In fact, Kennedy holds the power and does as she pleases.

Kennedy is at the top of her game, holding a Juris Doctorate from Stanford University, partner at a top law firm in Washington, D.C., and is on a hot streak with a winning record before the Court. Maintaining a solid career and a great sex life has always been in the forefront of Kennedy's mind. Having both laid before her, Kennedy sees no need to allow others to put her in a box, or live by anyone else’s standards.

The one thing Kennedy can’t deny; is how Andreas commands her body. The way he reads her every desire and lights her skin ablaze, always has Kennedy weak in the knees, ready to give into his demands.

Will Andreas and Kennedy get what they want and need from one another and be able to live by their own standards? Or will everything fall apart right in front of their eyes? 

Take this erotic ride with them and find out.

Great Story
I finally had some time to read this book. This story was very intriguing with every page turn. I couldn't put it down. Shay does a great job describing the characters and their relationships. So steamy! I almost fell out of chair towards the end #plottwist. Excellent book. (I wanted to punch Crumm in the face)

This was just what the doctor ordered. If you're look for a quick read I highly recommend. The way Andreas loved Kenni was book bae worthy. A secret relationship courtroom romance this played out so well. This book is a good palate cleanser, I will say I wish there was a epilogue wanted see Crumm's downfall and reaction to the news. Overall it did what it was supposed to do!

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting twist
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2023

I really liked this book and understood that it was a novella before reeading it, but it didn’t provide closure and felt incomplete. If it at least told what happened with the other attorney, like did he appeal, get reprimanded, fired, etc etc and what happened with her career in the aftermath, it would’ve been perfect. I loved the interesting twist of the true status of their relationship (won’t say it because of spoiler alert). I also loved their energy with each other. Overall, a really fun, quick book to read; it just needed closure

Ms Exa Sherie great penmanship you did your thang as an author. I will be following you. This novella was definitely contained erotic moments and a lot of passion and love. I loved Attroney Kennedy and Judge Kendrick’s unity as a couple love conquers all. You gave us racism and karma in this novella but you also gave us justice thank you for this amazing story.

Attorney Kennedy Glory is a boss. She’s a top graduate of Stanford University and kicks ass in the courtroom. She is succeeding in her professional life as the only African American and the third female to make partner at a prestigious law firm in DC. The same can be said about her personal life, except Kennedy decides to keep her heated relationship with THEE SEXY Judge Andreas Kendrick a secret. Andres is everything y’all. I swooned at his patience and the way he unequivocally loves and supports Kennedy. What I enjoyed most about this story was the way the author addressed the issues Black women face in their professional and personal life. She describes the hate and racism that comes with success and how tough society can be towards women when they’re dating a successful/rich man. I respected Kennedy’s decision to keep her relationship a secret. However, due to the circumstances, I don’t think I would have kept the secret as long as she did. I literally devoured this book. It was steamy, entertaining, unputdownable and it also came with an unexpected twist. The author was so detailed when writing the steamy scenes, I started to regret my decision to read at work LOL! Kennedy and Andreas literally burned up the pages. Overall, this book and its message was a huge hit for me. This is my third book by this author and I am eager to read more of her work.

It was a good short read. Starting out, it was heavy in the action but didn’t have much of a story line but then the plot twist came. It was a good an unexpected plot twist, which brought some anticipation to the story.
