I always find the theme of one-night stands that develop into something more because neither of them can forget their night very entertaining.
Of course, it's not easy, and work gets in the way, but it's actually not as dramatic as I expected.
There was quite a bit of tension at the beginning, which wasn't nice at all, and I thought it would be difficult for the two of them to get together.
However, Morgen Adams found a rather gentle way to resolve the whole thing. The chemistry between the two ladies is tremendous and hot, and I love the flirtatious banter between them!
Various characters from family and friends, both of Cuban and Jewish descent, added a lovely and sometimes really funny element to this beautiful romance.
One small downside is that the actual conflict of interest wasn't that difficult to resolve and offered little challenge... but that's just my opinion.
Overall, I really enjoyed the book, and I thank Bold Strokes Books and the Author very much for the ARC!

A hot read with witty banter and a good story
This was a very enjoyable read by newbie author Morgan Adams. It combines - very well executed - several popular tropes and the witty banter carries the story through.
Sexy lawyer Ana Mendez spends a hot night with cardiac surgeon Dr. Rachel Cohen only to discover the next morning that she is a witness in one of her litigation cases. Oh, the conflict of interest! I loved the chemistry and how this taboo attraction plays out throughout the book.

There is a large helping of their Jewish and Cuban families and a needy cat. I cheered for Ana whose law firm was a cesspool of old boys doing their thing.
There is another romance on the horizon and I look forward to another book of Morgan Adams in the future.

I received an ARC via netgalley. The review is left voluntarily.

Rachel is cardiac surgeon who been serve legal papers to testify in legal deposition regarding a horrible surgery performed by a senior surgeon that she observed as an intern that she can never forget. She heads to a bar to let loose some stress where she meets Ana and had one night of passion. Ana is senior lawyer who works hard to get a promotion she believes this case she leading may get it but what she didn’t know the hook up she had one night is person she has to question. As they navigate this they know it’s a conflict of interest but pull they feel is hard to ignore as they give in. I enjoy it the forbidden love felt organic love their banter chemistry was on point.


I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

This was quite an enjoyable book about a relationship between two intelligent, career-minded women. Ana Mendez is a senior associate lawyer from a Catholic Cuban family who reside in a small town outside of Miami. Ana now lives in New York City and is hoping to get promoted to of counsel position within her law firm.

Rachel Cohen is a cardiac surgeon from New York City who maintains a close relationship with her local Jewish family. She routinely visits with them most Friday nights when she is not at the hospital. Rachel is concerned about a legal deposition that she must participate in regarding a botched surgery performed by a senior surgeon that she observed as an intern. One night she heads to a bar in the city to relieve some stress and she meets Ana. They have a one-night stand that neither can get out of their minds. A short time later when Rachel attends the deposition appointment she is surprised to see that Ana is attorney overseeing the deposition.

There were several positives from my perspective about this story. It included women of differing multi-cultural backgrounds, different religions, differing professions, who get along quite well. The reader was able to learn a multitude of things about these aspects of their backgrounds. On another note, even after they discovered their one-night stand could lead to a conflict of interest they weren't able to stay away from each other for too long. They agreed to keep their distance physically and that lead to creative ways for them to get to know each other. It also lead to creative ways for the sizzling sparks to fly before their next in-person encounter.

Although the conflict was quickly wrapped up in the end, the book was a wonderful, spicy read.

I received an ARC from Bold Strokes Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed View From The Top, so I was very excited to receive this ARC of its sequel. I'm happy to say it was just as good as the first.

The two main characters are well written and fleshed out with their own friends, families, ambitions, etc. I particularly liked the inclusion of Rachel and Ana's Jewish and Cuban cultures.

In terms of the romance, it's both sweet and spicy. There's clear feelings on both sides and lots of time spent with our two main characters flirting and bantering, which is something I really enjoy in my romance novels. There's also quite a few sex scenes adding that spicier element.

As far as plot, I loved the messiness of the conflict of interest in Ana's workplace. You could really feel the stress and tension of the situation, and it only built as both parties continued to ignore it. My only wish was that there was more "conflict" in the conflict of interest. Things seemed to wrap up almost a little too nicely, and I think there could have been a lot more explored there in terms of consequences and character growth as a result.

Overall, however, I blew through this one and enjoyed Ana and Rachel's story quite a bit. 4.4/5 stars.

Ever since View From The Top, I’ve been so curious about senior associate Ana Mendez and hoped that she would get her HEA. Let me tell you, A Conflict of Interest does not disappoint.

Ana Mendez, senior associate at Byron & Browning has been logging long hours to make it, to finally get the promotion she deserves. Her medical malpractice case might just be the ticket to her success, for her very male partners to notice her accomplishments. However, life has a funny way of getting in the way. A very hot one night stand leads to an unexpected encounter, the stunning red head she brought home from the bar, is the final doctor Ana needs to interview for her case.

Dr. Rachel Cohen, cardiac surgeon, was only a resident when a patient died at the hands of another surgeon. A night that she will never forget and to make matters worse, she’s served legal papers to testify. Even though it would be in both parties best interest to stay away from one another, the pull is too strong to keep denying.

I absolutely loved this story. I am a sucker for forbidden romances. The chemistry between Ana and Rachel was undeniable. Their banter was so light and funny which had me grasping for more. I honestly could not put this book down. The development of their relationship and the pace truly felt organic, even with a dark cloud looming above them. Morgan has a way of crafting strong and sexy independent women, that makes you want more. But it’s the quiet cozy moments intertwined with vulnerability that makes it hard to not fall in love with her characters.

A Conflict of Interest is a steamy, low angst, kicking my feet giddy, kind of romance. It’s an easy read that will leave you feeling satisfied. I’m excited to see what comes next from Morgan Adams. I am incredibly appreciative of the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book has an insanely electrifying energy!!! Just the combination: a cardio surgeon and a lawyer??? I mean, hello??? Phew, I knew from the blurb that this book was going to be good, but this good?

Ana has an important trial ahead of her. One she's been working on for years. But there has to be a bit of fun, right? She meets Rachel, a doctor who is married to her job, in a bar. Sparks fly and they end up in bed together. But when Rachel suddenly turns up at Ana's office a few days later and it turns out that Rachel is one of the doctors she has to interrogate, chaos breaks out in the life of the otherwise determined lawyer.

I devoured this book. The chemistry was amazing!!! The fact that their relationship was forbidden made the tension very high. And on top of that, a secret that wasn't revealed for a long time kept me reading. The danger of everything being exposed hung over them like the sword of Damocles. On the one hand, of course, there was this incredible attraction and on the other this vulnerability. Simply a great combination! The way they managed to communicate with each other and forget everything was really beautiful.

I’d love to give this book 5 stars, but the drama in the last act... well, I found it too easily resolved. I mean, the tension grew and grew, then the drama came and a few pages later it was already over. That was partly incomprehensible to me, as there was a lot at stake, at least for Ana.

Nevertheless, it was a great, beautiful book with hot, spicy scenes that I really enjoyed! This will definitely not be the last book I read by Morgan Adams.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me an ARC.

A Conflict of Interest by Morgan Adams is a fun, quick, and easy read. It follows attorney Ana Mendez as she navigates a medical malpractice case involving cardiac surgeon Dr. Rachel Cohen, who is expected to testify about a past operation that ended in a patient’s death. While the legal case is central to the plot, I appreciated that it wasn’t an overwhelming source of angst. The conflict added depth without overshadowing the story, allowing the focus to remain on the building romance between Ana and Rachel.

What I appreciated most about this book was the rich representation of both Jewish and Cuban cultures. In many romance novels, cultural or religious identities are briefly mentioned but not deeply woven into the story. That’s not the case here. Rachel’s Jewish heritage is explored with care and authenticity. You get a real sense of how her faith and traditions shape her life. Ana’s Cuban background is equally meaningful, offering insight into her drive to succeed and her connection to family and community. From Shabbat dinners to sharing language and stories, the mutual curiosity and respect Ana and Rachel show for each other’s cultures was genuinely heartwarming.

That said, it did take a little time for me to feel fully invested in their relationship. After their initial meeting at a bar, they head back to Ana’s for what they both describe as “the best sex of their lives,” but as a reader, I didn’t quite feel that intensity. The scene was mostly fade-to-black, which would have been fine if the rest of the book followed suit, but later scenes were much more explicit. I found myself wishing there had been more emotional or physical tension in that first encounter to help sell the immediate chemistry. For me, the connection between Ana and Rachel developed more convincingly over time than it did at the outset.

Overall, A Conflict of Interest was an enjoyable read with a thoughtful blend of romance, culture, and legal drama. I loved seeing two strong, complex women learning about and embracing each other’s worlds, and I’ll definitely keep an eye out for more from Morgan Adams (secretly hoping for a Charlotte/Stella story next!).

This book was good.

The writing is solid, and the fast pace makes it an easy and enjoyable read. The chapters are not too long—something I really appreciate.

The relationship between the main characters was cute. At the beginning, it felt like it took them a while to fully commit, but the wait was worth it. I loved how they found their balance by the end. The mix of fun and drama was just perfect.

If you're looking for a quick and enjoyable read, this is the book for you.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this book

rachel is a surgeon
ana is a lawyer

their one night stand was amazing, rachel never expected to see ana again....so her shock at walking into the office for the deposition and seeing ana there was horrifying

ana was equally shocked and thankfully the deposition was cancelled due to a car accident

but now that ana and rachel had connected again they each fell the pull of each others attraction....

ohhh man what a storyline nerve wracking times ahead due to that deposition

cant wait to read whats next from this author

This book was good.

The writing was engaging, and the pacing of the whole book was well executed. I loved the short chapters.

Rachel and Ana's relationship was fun to read about. They are complete opposites, and I enjoyed their playful banter. Ana is a sweet yet determined character with strong confidence, while Rachel is a genuine sweetheart who always tries to help others because of her hidden past.

I also liked learning more about Jewish culture, it was a nice addition to the story. The only reason this wasn’t a 5 star read for me was the occasional info dumping, which I felt wasn’t always necessary.

Overall, if you're looking for a spicy romance between a doctor and a lawyer with great writing, you might enjoy this one as much as I did.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I never get tired of reading books where the characters have a one-night stand but end up meeting each other again in something work-related. Needless to say, I had a great time reading A Conflict of Interest.
The chemistry between Ana and Rachel is off the charts, with a good level of spice, and seeing them clash was very entertaining. Their relationship is also sweet and well-paced, even if it was a quick read.
The lawsuit, how it explores medical malpractice, and Rachel’s involvement add more stakes, which I really appreciated. I also really like the contrast between Ana and her Cuban Catholic roots on one side and Rachel and her Jewish roots on the other.

I enjoyed this book, my first by this author. The MC’s were well described, and their relationship was wonderful. The secondary characters were a nice addition to the story. There were some very nice steamy scenes, which is always a plus. Well done.

I loved this book… which is why I was very disappointed when the conflict was “solved” so easily and lowkey brushed past. We are waiting for this secret to come out that Rachel has been holding onto. There’s obviously conflict of interest with Ana and Rachel. But the way they solved it? I didn’t feel like it was realistic and it felt like both women were like, “Okay, that’s over, everything is kosher now(pun intended?). It honestly prevented me from giving it 5 stars. The ending seems so rushed.

But other than that, I loved both characters! I loved learning about Jewish culture and loved how the author portrayed it. Both MCs are fleshed out, in depth characters. The author had a good balance of humor and seriousness.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!

This was a fun and engaging read with a great mix of romance and legal drama. Ana Mendez is a strong, determined character you really root for, and Rachel Cohen brings both charm and vulnerability. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the twist of them being on opposite sides of a case adds a lot of tension and excitement. The story moves at a good pace and kept me hooked. A satisfying and heartfelt story that I really enjoyed. Four stars!

what happens when the one night stand is the woman you are forcing to take the stand? ermm hello this was promising and delivered that promise.
weve got a lawyer and a doctor. both different in every way. but theres an interest and a night together. oh, but the next day that lawyer and that doctor arent at all one the same side.
they try to avoid each other but this conflict is definitely of interest. but there is the law involved and is someone keeping something more from the other.
the banters and spice was ramped up to the next level and this story is not going to shy away from that s be ready.
an enjoyable read and a good plot. its feisty and strong just like our characters. and you know there will have to come a explosion over what they are doing but your never sure quite when or how and just what comes next.

When your one-night stand turns out to be the surgeon that you subpoenaed for a malpractice lawsuit.

Ana, an unappreciated lawyer, has been passed up for promotion to her male colleagues yet again. A malpractice lawsuit win could be what she needs to finally get the promotion she’s worked so hard for. Rachel, a cardiac surgeon who goes above and beyond for her patients, is subpoenaed to testify in a malpractice lawsuit. Arriving at the law firm for her deposition, Rachel discovers that the lawyer for the family who filed the lawsuit is Ana Mendez. As in Ana, her one-night stand.

I was excited to get my hands on this one! I loved that Ana and Rachel were so different from each other in personalities, looks, backgrounds, and religions. The differences made them unique and interesting to me. The banter was well-written, and I loved how feisty they were towards each other in the beginning. Was the dirty talk unexpected? Very much so. I was not prepared for that or for how hot things had gotten. And while I did enjoy the spice, I would’ve liked for there to have been more communication about the conflict too. The references to The Golden Girls and The Sims? Oh, I totally geeked out over that! Overall, it was a good sapphic romance that I’m sure others will enjoy.  


I’d like to thank NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for giving me an arc. This is my voluntary review.

I was intrigued by the whole start of the book where a hot lawyer and a hot doctor hook-up for a one-night stand and think they will never meet again but so wrong they were. The very next day they encounter each other when the doctor Rachel arrives at a deposition led by the lawyer Ana. Then we have the whole forbidden romance which I love. They try to avoid each other for a while because of ethical reasons but when they meet a few more times they cannot resist, and they are so right and hot together. It is still a struggle regarding how to handle the forbidden part of the story as well as the fact that Rachel may hide something regarding the deposition.

This is all going very well and I like the tension between them and how they get to know each other. They finally focus one something else besides their respective careers. But it is aiming for a crash at some point and unfortunately that and the resolution is coming a bit late for my taste and thus the growth of their romance as well as epilogue is a bit short. I do however recommend this enjoyable read.
