Love and Order follows the last Maquire sibling as he finds his other half. This is labeled as an enemies-to-lovers tale and while it’s set up that way, that’s not the way the story plays out.
Finn is a retired Navy SEAL turned lawyer paired with a fellow attorney to win a big case and potentially make a partner. I enjoyed getting to know both him and Hailey better as we watched them do their best.
This is a basic feel-good story. Finn is truly a good guy and Hailey (while wounded by the past) is a likable, feisty leading lady. The conflict in the story is mainly external and plays out as expected. If you are looking for high drama and angst, this is not the book for you.

Hot to the Touch wraps up the trilogy of books in the Hot in Chicago Rookies group. This time we get to spend time with Sam, the playboy of the friend group at the center of this series. Sam is paired with Cass (Cassie, Cassandra) his brother's sister-in-law as they navigate an incredibly difficult situation.
If you have followed the series, you will remember Sam as he has supported Abby and Jude as they figured things out. Now it's their turn to support him. We get to see a much deeper dive into who Sam is behind the playboy persona here. Ms Meader does an excellent job of peeling back the layers and letting the good guy shine through. As we got to know Sam and Cass, I found myself liking both characters and rooting for them to find a new footing and give themselves the grace they needed to find happiness.
One of the things I appreciated about Hot to the Touch is that Ms Meader avoided the most obvious conflict for Sam and Cass. The issue was hinted at, but more complicated and emotional issues were addressed instead. I felt like that added depth to the story and made me that much more invested in the story.
The secondary cast here is amazing. We see lots of the original Hot in Chicago couples make an appearance along with the other Rookies. Add in Ms Meader's expected spiciness and humor and this is a great conclusion to a fun series.

This is a quick novella-length read in the Hot in Chicago world. The characters are new, so if you are new to Ms Meader then you can slide right into the story.
Loyal Meader readers will get great glimpses of previous main characters. This is a fun series am I am looking forward to more rookie reads.
