Review: THE LAWYER’S QUANDARY by Andrew Grey
Fiction, Contemporary Romance, M/M
4****
Blurb: Two people walk into his office and change everything.
Greg Lampeter hung out a shingle after years at a large law firm and is beginning to have some success. When a new client walks through his door, he’s intrigued by the case and the cause it represents and agrees to take it on principal. What he doesn’t expect is the man with him to capture his attention so completely. Assistant swimming coach Mark Baker only came to the appointment as moral support for his friend, Steven. He doesn’t expect the lawyer to be so understanding and supportive, and he certainly doesn’t expect the spark of attraction that pulls at him almost from the moment they shake hands. Both men are determined to remain professional for Steven’s sake, for the help he needs in dealing with the college and a serious issue with one of the assistant Lacrosse coaches. As facts come to light, it’s clear that Greg is going to have to walk a close line to ensure that Steven gets the justice he deserves, and to protect Mark and their budding relationship from becoming collateral damage.
THOUGHTS: At only 105 pages, this is a quick read, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a good read! Mr. Grey does not disappoint with his romances. The characters are realistic, the settings well-done, and the heat and connection between the two men is electric.
In this story, Greg is a lawyer who takes on a case for an athlete about an abusive coach. The topic is one that’s been getting a lot of interest in the last few years. In addition to the case, Greg is also intrigued by the man who is helping the college athlete – Mark. The two form a fast friendship that deepens as the story develops. By the end, we know there’s going to be a HEA for these two men (and a winning case for Greg). A satisfying ending all around.
