    I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it. This was a completely enjoyable story. I was drawn into the Casella cousins from the book, "Take Me Back, Hidden Cove Firefighters #9", featuring Rafe Casella. Hayley Casella is an ADA with the City of New York. She prosecutes alleged criminals that defense attorney Paul Covington defends. The two strike sparks off of each other and it shows in court. A judge has had it with the two and sentences them both to a night in jail for contempt. How these two deal with each other is a story that kept me glued to my e-reader. Having a glimpse into each of the characters' thoughts, really helped me to understand their actions and speech so much better. It was almost like I was right there with them. I adored this story and look forward to the rest of the Casella cousins! This story is a sexy one. The author does a great job of leading the characters into the scene without being overly graphic. That being said, I would only recommend this to anyone over the age of 18.

    “Hayley” is a wonderful introduction to Kathryn Shay’s new Casella Cousins series. I was immediately drawn into the story about Hayley Casella and her courtroom antics with defense attorney Paul Covington. While opposing each other in court an underlying volcano is ready to erupt. And erupt, it does!!! These characters share more than just their professions and the story unfolds revealing secrets and sorrows each holds close to the heart. A refreshing romance with bits of past characters is beautifully presented by Kathryn Shay in this 5 Star read.

    HAYLEY...Kathryn Shay The judges cringe when they find both Hayley and Paul in their courtroom. Contempt charges rarely happened against lawyers, they got one another in trouble, when together. The courtroom drama continued and giving them a night in jail, compliments of the judge’s warning of what would happen. Their immediate bosses understood what happened, others in their office didn’t and thought they should be dismissed. Even Hayley had her mother’s disapproval and words that she was like her father. A delightful comedy of two grown successful lawyers acting like teenagers, when they work together. Instead of a parent saying play nice, they had a judge. Delightful to read, and still chuckling at the two of them Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

    ARC for honest review with no compensation 4.5 stars Hayley is book 1 in the Casella Cousins series by Kathryn Shay an another good book by this author. Hayley and Paul are two attorneys on opposing sides of the table, get under each other’s skin but sparks fly too. When they end up in jail together they discover they have a lot in common but it seems that obstacles out side of court could be issues too... Family dynamics, forgiveness, attraction and a fine line between love and hate are just some of the things happening but will they find a way to over come the obstacles or will they remain adversaries??

  • Loved this book

    This is the first book of the Casella cousins. There is good character development and family history. In the story, Haley and Paul have to overcome painful past family problems before they can find their own happiness. They are both lawyers who have often argued in court against each other. They have great chemistry and are a good match both in court and in their personal lives. I enjoy reading books that include interaction with other family members. I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series.

  • MUST READ!!!

    I love Katherine Shays books and this one sure didn’t disappoint me! It’s the story of an ADA and a lawyer who prove that love and hate are two sides of the same coin. Both have unresolved family issues which cause problems between them but love does conquer all! I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
