“…sometimes the only way to get something good is to take a few risks.”

Party of Two is a story about risks and rewards (and also a great multiracial, opposites attract, he-falls-first-instalove, third act breakup, HEA romance)!

I loved Olivia so much, and as a fellow woman in the legal industry, really related to her cautious, well planned, prepared-and-polished personality. Her realities and challenges as a Black female lawyer, and in the public eye, were illustrated well, and I felt the challenges of being in a multiracial relationship (different backgrounds; financial privilege; racism in personal, professional and criminal justice settings; white privilege) were presented thoughtfully and with care.

There is some spice in this one! I give it 3.5/5 for some open door scenes. 

Ultimately, this is a story of choosing love: despite the challenges, despite being very different people, despite having to work at it, despite the risks!

Out of the series, this one I feel has been the weakest out of them all. I'm still glad I read it, but it's definitely weaker than the others.

When Olivia Monroe, attorney, moves from NYC to LA she unknowingly meets and flirts with Senator Max Powell. They are very attracted to each other but they are looking for different types of relationships. When they finally meet again and begin dating there’s a real chemistry, but will that outweigh their differences? The author didn’t really dig deeply into conflicts like the press and covered more about their dates. This was a pleasant romance with vey sweet characters.

Fun, quick read with some actual substance. Opposites attract.
