This HaBO comes from Ciara, who is looking for this contemporary romance:
I’m desperately trying to remember a book I read in my early teens where the hero drove a black Bentley and I believe he was a lawyer. I think him and the heroine were trying to solve a case.
Also I think the title had something to do with law and there might have been a P in it. I think it also was a class difference theme.
That’s the most I can remember, hopefully someone can help me out! Hoping it can be found before I lose my mind!!
Any suggestions?
Paradise by Judith McNaught maybe? The hero drove a Bentley. And they were trying to figure out who was placing bombs in the heroine’s stores, and there was a class difference theme. Hero wasn’t a lawyer though.
Not the book, but Richard drove a Bentley in Mary Stewart’s Madam Will You Talk? Great car chase across Provence.
Paradise is an amazing book,but I don’t think it’s the one in question. The hero, Matt, didn’t really drive anything. He had a very memorable driver/bodyguard named Joe and the running joke was what a crazy driver Joe was. And neither Matt nor the heroine, Meredith, were really involved with trying to solve the bombing mystery, which only shows up in the final act. It’s a massive (700+ pages), heart-wrenching book that is totally worth reading if you’ve got the time and the tissues.
Practice makes Perfect by Julie James.
JD Jameson is the Bentley driving lawyer who is unwittingly put in competition with the the heroine Payton Kendall because only one of them can make partner at the law firm.
The class discrimination was really only that he came from legal loyalty – his father was a famous judge/lawyer while she had been raised by a single mother who was described as a bit of a hippie.
I miss Julie James – anyone know if she’s working on anything?
I also came to suggest Practice Makes Perfect by Julie James
