Opposing Briefs by Ian Finn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Yesterday I finished reading Opposing Briefs by Ian Finn. It's a male/male romance, featuring enemies-to-lovers Logan Daniels and Andrew Patterson.

Logan works for the DA's office, and he's often in court opposite Andrew, a high-profile defense attorney. He doesn't like Andrew, but he can't help being attracted to him. Never mind that Andrew is straight...and married. As for Andrew, he's always done what's expected of him, from marrying the pretty girl to becoming an attorney. He shouldn't be attracted to Logan, but he can't stop thinking about him. When Logan and Andrew begin training together for the NYC marathon, they find that they have more in common than they'd thought. As attraction between them blossoms, Andrew has to decide if pursuing a relationship with Logan is worth the inevitable fallout.

The story was told in first person pov, but it alternated between Logan and Andrew. I liked it in this instance, because it allowed the reader to get inside each man's head. I couldn't help but feel sorry for Andrew, basically living his life for everyone but himself. Secondary characters were likable, as well, with the exception of Andrew's wife and his boss. What horrid excuses for humans!

Favorite line: "If I ever start collecting cats, just shoot me and put me out of my misery."

A few, minor things did bother me...( Cut for spoilers )

Eh, all minor, and none of them detracted from the overall story. Good book, four stars.

I'll promote it any way...

This looked like fun, and I tried to join the reindeer games, but it marked my comment as 'Spam'. I hope the rest of you join in and have fun; I'll just be sitting here, all alone, with my THOUSANDS OF BOOKS!
