What I Loved

This is probably my favorite book from Lana Ferguson! You can expect laughs, spice, and little bit of hard hitting drama from her books, and Overruled has been my favorite balance of the three elements. Ezra was an absolute cinnamon roll (when he wasn’t in the court room!) and I was invested in his family drama. Danica had her own emotional issues that added to the plot.

• He falls first-always a favorite!
• I loved their banter — witty, flirty, and fast-paced.
• The family drama for both main characters was interesting and added another layer to the plot.

What Didn’t Quite Work for Me

My main complaint was the length of the story. I’m not generally a fan of romance or thriller books longer than 325-350 pages. It plot is fast paced though so it does go by pretty quickly.

• Danica was a little annoying at first but she has great character development.
• Although I did enjoy the family drama, I will admit sometimes it took away from the romance plot of the book.
• I would have loved a flash back chapter of Danica and Ezra meeting for the first time from both their POVs.

Overall Thoughts

Overruled was a delightful rom-com with a touch of family drama. This would be an excellent beach or pool read this summer because it is a fast-paced book with spicy time. I will definitely be adding this book to my collection and look forward to more releases from Lana Ferguson.
