![]() ![]() His legal career inspired his fiction, however, with his first radio play, The Dock Brief (1957) dealing with the subject of an ageing barrister who is asked to defend a man accused of murdering his wife. John Mortimer started writing before he became a barrister. A lifelong champion of free speech, he has argued for the defence in some of the most famous obscenity trials in Britain, including the one brought against the underground magazine Oz for its notorious 'School Kids' issue. ![]() In 1966 he became a Queen's Counsel, and he continued to work as a barrister until 1979. At first he followed his father and specialised in divorce cases, but he soon switched to criminal law, as he maintained that murderers and the like were nicer to work with than divorcing spouses. On finishing his degree, he was called to the Bar in 1948 and entered his father's chambers. Schooled at Harrow, Mortimer went on to study law at Brasenose College, Oxford. His father was a successful divorce lawyer, and was to be a considerable influence on his son's life. ![]()

![]() But alas, this book truly is just as terrible, if not worse, than the novella. I will say that Laurelin Paige writes an addictive story and I flew through this book. I wanted that book to be a fluke and for this book to be better. It’s not like the prequel novella, Dirty Filthy Rich Boys, wasn’t without its problems. I just want to express that my deepest regret is that I even read this book. Especially when I know how much I’ll like it. I’ve been down this road before, and I know all the dirty, filthy ways Donovan will try and wreck me.īut it’s hard to resist. I knew poor scholarship girls like me didn’t stand a chance against guys like Weston King and Donovan Kincaid, but I was in love with his world, their world, of parties and sex and power. I knew what I wanted-I knew who I wanted-until one night, their world tried to bite me back and Donovan saved me. He saved me, and then Weston finally noticed me, and I finally learned what it was to be in their world. ![]() I didn’t know he was filthy. Truth be told, I was only trying to get his best friend to notice me. ![]() When I met Donovan Kincaid, I knew he was rich. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rachel’s made a career out of always a bridesmaid…but perhaps there’s a chance for her own trip down the aisle?
