New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando returns with a brand new series about a brigade of lawyers who, despite being bad boys at heart, always end up just on the right side of the law.
Katerina Dawson knows exactly what she wants from life. And as the new associate at the top law firm in the city, she’s ready to live out her dreams of becoming a criminal lawyer. But going on coffee runs and babysitting kids during the day was definitely not what she had in mind. She knows that anyone else would kill to be in her shoes, but she has to draw the line somewhere. That’s easier said than done, though, when Kat has to confront her handsome boss…
Tristan Channing and Jaxon Bentley run a successful law firm together and the two partners couldn’t be busier right now. When Jaxon suddenly takes a leave of absence, Tristan begrudgingly assumes responsibility of the new associate, the hotnew associate, who has curves for days. Needing to keep his distance from her, Tristan sends Kat on needless errands and has her doing work even an intern wouldn’t touch, like picking up his kids. But his plan backfires when he sees his children grow attached to Kat and sees her getting comfortable in his home. It triggers something deep within him, and it feels right to have her there. Will Tristan be able to keep his work and personal lives separate, or will he find that his heart holds the final verdict?

4 Stars
I am a huge fan of Chantal Fernando's writing, I have several of her signed paper backs adorning my shelves, so I was very excited to be given the opportunity to read an advanced copy of Breaking The Contract.
Breaking the Contract is Katerina and Tristan's story, it's a fast paced, quick read around novella length, but that hasn't affected Ms Fernando's ability to tell an engaging and entertaining story with well developed characters.
Tristan piqued my interest from the get go, he's a single father, he tends to be a bit cocky and arrogant but hey that's half the appeal. I found him to be quite intriguing.
Katerina on the other hand is pretty much what you see is what you get. She's feisty, intelligent, hard working, driven, head strong and affectionate.
I loved the chemistry between this pair, that is completely undeniable, but also the fun, flirty, and witty banter that is shared between the various characters.
Generally I can't say that I am a fan of novella length reads, as they lack the depth and complexity you get with a full length read, and I did want more of this couple. I am so looking forward to reading more of the Conflict of Interest series, and hope we get more of Katerina and Tristan along the way!
