A tenacious,
resilient female judge must find a way to work with her carefree clerk as they
find themselves in danger when a fugitive sets his sights on revenge in the
third book in New York Times bestselling author Chantal
Fernando’s sexy and thrilling Conflict of Interest Series.
Trinity Williams, known as “Medusa” for her stony expressions and unyielding reputation, constantly has her guard up—how else is the youngest female judge in the country supposed to survive in such a male-dominated profession? She made the decision long ago that laughter and a carefree attitude have no business in a courtroom and achieving her professional goals is the only thing she has left. It’s just her luck that her new law clerk, Callum Hopkins, believes the exact opposite.
Callum Hopkins thinks that nothing should ever be too serious in life—why can’t he mix business with pleasure? When he first starts working for his hot new boss, they clash at every turn. He makes it his mission to get Judge Williams to see things his way for once.
But when Callum finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time as an escaped convict comes after Trinity, he realizes it’s not all fun and games anymore. Now in witness protection together until the authorities can catch the fugitive, this unlikely pair must learn to trust one another and work together to stay alive. Far away from the courtroom, Trinity and Callum are suddenly free to stop butting heads, and stop fighting the growing attraction between them.
With suspense and plenty of chemistry, Approaching the Bench proves once again that “Chantal Fernando knows how to draw you in and keep you hooked” (Booklist).

**** MY REVIEW ****
**** MY REVIEW ****
The third book in the Conflict of Interest series by
Chantal Fernando,Approaching the Bench, is much
like the previous books in this series- full of action and intrigue with a huge
helping of sizzling passion. Trinity and
Callum make a great couple in this book, with her being the boss and him
just starting out in his career. Callum is a guy who sees
the glass half full while Trinity is the glass half empty type of gal. Callum
knows he's attracted to Trinity, and doesn't have a problem admitting it from
the start. I liked Trinity and I loved how she knew there was this intense
sexual attraction for her younger colleague yet she couldn’t act on it because
he was her law clerk and she is in a position of power. She really had this
deep attraction for him, this intense feeling for him but had to hid her
feelings because of her job and because she didn’t want to at first face the
feelings this younger man was causing in her. (Note, Trinity is only 6 years
older than Callum.) And this wouldn’t be a Chantal Fernando book without an
element of danger which this story does have. Do Trinity and Callum get to have
their HEA? Only way to find out is by reading this fantastic read.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *****
“I received an
advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."
