DisGraced

De: Rose Hartley

Narrado por: Shari Sebbens

Star defense lawyer Grace Cockburn was a lioness in the courtroom – until her life turned into a total mess. Turns out marrying your best friend’s brother and then breaking his heart is not the best career move when both best friend and ex-husband are also very well-liked lawyers in Adelaide’s small legal fraternity. Within weeks, Grace is blacklisted from any decent cases, and reduced to taking dull medical insurance claims. It’s a far cry from the glamorous, high-profile criminal law career she envisioned.

Between the ineffectual hitman (a former client) who keeps chasing her with a hammer, her formidable and disappointed mother (a Supreme Court judge), and Lachlan Lim, the devastatingly handsome prosecutor she can't stop sleeping with, Grace is hardly anyone’s first pick when the trial of the decade needs a brilliant defense lawyer. But through a series of misadventures involving all the other silks in Adelaide (which of course Grace had nothing to do with), pretty soon she’s the best they’ve got.

There’s only one problem with this mostly lucky turn of events – the prosecutor opposite her is none other than Lachlan himself, the man she very definitely has not been falling in love with. How far is Grace willing to go in her fight for justice, love, and the chance to become Adelaide's most notorious legal superstar?

Fun read with a nice blend of law drama and romance

I don’t read in this genre frequently but this was a fun listen. I liked the blend of law drama with a little romance, it was a good balance they kept the story interesting.
