In Trouble with Him: A Forbidden Love Contemporary Romance (Berkeley Hills series Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Stacy Travis (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 119 ratings

I should know better than to hook up with the handsome stranger at my best friend’s wedding.

Especially when he runs off mid-kiss like Cinderella at midnight.

Is he a fugitive from justice? A player? Both?

I find out soon enough when he shows up at work—where I was just hired as a law partner defending white collar criminals. Yup, he’s one of them. And he’s depending on me to keep him out of jail.

He’s also just as hot, charming, and tempting as he was the night of the wedding. Talk about forbidden love.

The last thing I should do is get involved with a client, especially one who may be guilty of all kinds of things.

Not the least of which is stealing my heart.


In Trouble with Him is STANDALONE forbidden love romance and is part of the Berkeley Hills series. It is also a crossover novel with the Summer Heat series and features characters from those novels.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Stacy Travis writes charming, spicy romance about bookish, sassy women and the hot alphas who fall for them.

Writing makes her infinitely happy, but that might be the coffee talking. She drinks a LOT of it.

She's worked as a journalist, camp counselor, TV writer, SAT tutor, corporate finance researcher, education technology editor, and non-fiction author. When she's not on a deadline, she's in running shoes complaining that all roads seem to go uphill. Or on the couch with a margarita. Or fangirling at a soccer game.

She's never met a dog she didn't want to hug. And if you have no plans for Thanksgiving, she'll probably invite you to dinner.

Stacy lives in Los Angeles with her husband, two sons, and a poorly-trained rescue dog who hoards socks. And she's serious about the Thanksgiving thing.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this book!

    I did not know what to expect with this one, since I don’t really know this author and there was no description of the plot anywhere that I saw. I took a chance and put it on my kindle, and was really glad I did. This is the story of 2 lonely workaholic people that discover each other at a mutual friend’s wedding, hit it off and ‘almost’ hook up, but don’t. Neither of them even knows the other’s last name, but they both spend an inordinate amount of time thinking of the other one for several weeks until fate intervenes and they meet again in her office (she is an attorney) when he is charged with a white collar crime (he is innocent of course) and she agrees to represent him. It is a unique plot and very well written. Their futile attempts to maintain a professional attorney-client relationship are hilarious. They just can’t do it. The characters were very lovable and relatable. Read it. You won’t be sorry!

    5.0 out of 5 stars When Slow Burn Gets Hot!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2020
    Overall Grade: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 1/2

    One of my favorite parts about writing is the growth of the writer as they generate writing. When I was first introduced to Stacy Travis, I had signed up for an ARC of her first romance book, French Kiss. And while I enjoyed her details of France, I struggled with the chemistry between her hero and heroine in that book. It felt manufactured to me, and my review reflected that. Fast forward to her newest book, In Trouble with Him. What her first book lacked, this book has in spades. Billed as a forbidden romance, Annie is an attorney hired to fight a court case brought against the enigmatic, acutely handsome Finn, a professor who has been accused of insider trading when he consulted with various companies. His talent in understanding the stock market nets him a huge paycheck, and Annie must prove that it is his ability as an economics talent that earned it for him. Unfortunately, Annie and Finn have met previously at a mutual friend’s wedding, and their interest in each other from that moment feels undeniable. However, since Annie is his lawyer, this complicates their want to be a couple. However, their chemistry flies off the page, and you yearn for these two to figure out a way to be together.

    I love how Stacy Travis has grown her ability to generate chemistry for her characters. It is undeniable with Finn and Annie. Along with their chemistry, there is a camaraderie between these two. You absolutely root for them hard, but be prepared for a serious slow burn here. Their banter is their foreplay, and it takes a while for them to finally acknowledge their fire.

    Integrated into this romance is a story that compels you forward too. Travis has carefully woven in ideas about representation for women in the legal world. Annie’s backstory illustrates the difficulties that women endure in finding a job based on their ability, not just their gender. Additionally, Travis points to difficulties in the academic world. When Finn’s job is threatened by a peer, Travis shows the tenuous nature of collegial relationships. There is a competition to achieve and publish that oftentimes muddies relationships with colleagues.

    Beyond that, this story has family. Finn is the only male in a family of independent females. To underscore the pro-woman aspects of this book i.e. Annie’s journey, Finn’s mother and sisters show how to raise a feminist male in a character such as Finn. So interspersed with a book of romance with two characters so suited to each other is a bigger discussion of feminism.

    All of these attributes conspire to offer a story where Finn and Annie’s story feels important. Not only does it challenge our thinking, but it also titillates and plays your heartstrings. Like I said at the beginning of this review, I love the evolution of an author, and, as far as I’m concerned, Stacy Travis’s In Trouble with Him is an indication that she is indeed shooting for the romance stars.

    3.0 out of 5 stars It was okay
    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2020
    I received a free ARC from Hidden Gems for the promise of an honest review.

    It was okay. Annie and Finn's story starts at Nikki's wedding. Nikki is Annie's best friend. They struck up a conversation at the bar and chemistry sizzle between them. They spent the rest of their time at the wedding with each other. Finn leaves abruptly. Annie is confused by is departure and finds out Finn is under house arrest. Annie thinks she has dodged a bullet.

    Come Monday morning, Annie learns Finn is her client and she is to defend him in an insider trading case. They spend hours together and their chemistry still sizzles. Annie fights her attraction and tries to be professional but Finn keeps chipping away at her resolve.

    Besides the court case there is no real drama to this story. It is all about counting down to when Annie and Finn will give in to their feelings. I feel like there is some repetition to the story. Finn comes off as an arrogant genius. The story is good.

    5.0 out of 5 stars From a hot and heavy hookup to a captivating slow burn!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2020
    Annie has been thinking about Finn, the hot stranger she hooked up with at her friend's wedding, all weekend. So when she walks into a meeting at her new job on Monday morning and learns that Finn is the professor she's defending for insider trading, she's awestruck. Meanwhile, Finn can't believe that he's again crossed paths with the fabulous woman he hasn't been able to stop thinking of while under house arrest. Is it fate? Or is a romantic relationship forbidden as attorney and client?

    This story was all kinds of fun. I loved the instant connection between Finn and Annie. I loved how they tried to "get it out of their system" with the in-depth fantasy description that SO didn't work! I loved how he calmed her down when she began to word vomit, and how she made him realize that a life of data and figures without anyone to share it with was a lonely one. These two had so much heat, and so much passion. He is the ultimate sexy nerd, and Annie is a kick-ass lawyer with a huge heart.

    In Trouble With Him is a pretty low-angst story; there is no big drama surrounding Finn and Annie as a couple other than the SEC suit she is representing him in. After that initial wedding hookup, this book turns into a slow-burn romance with lots of date-type client meetings until Finn and Annie finally explode and can't take the sexual tension that's brewing between them any longer.

    Now I totally wish I'd read the Summer of Him duet (Nikki and Chris' story), so I need to go back and check those out while I wait for Finn's sisters to get their series! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
