Editoral Review
Mitigation by Sawyer Bennett: Review
Sawyer Bennett’s Mitigation is a steamy and emotional romance novella that will make readers swoon, laugh, and fall in love with the main characters. Published on February 19, 2014, this book is a part of the Legal Affairs series and combines elements of contemporary romance with the legal drama genre.
The novella is fast-paced and engaging, with a relatable and endearing protagonist and a romantic partner who oozes charisma and passion. The story revolves around a young and ambitious lawyer, McKayla Dawson, who is determined to make a name for herself in the legal world.
She gets a chance to shine when she is assigned to work on a high-profile case with the firm’s star attorney, Matt Connover. Sparks fly between the two immediately, and as they work together, they find themselves drawn to each other’s energy, intelligence, and wit.
Despite their initial reluctance to pursue a romantic relationship, the two finds it impossible to resist their mutual attraction. The setting of the novella is contemporary New York City, and the author vividly describes the glamorous and high-pressure world of big law firms.
The dialogue is witty and sharp, and the writing is easy to read, making the story accessible to a wide range of readers. The book also has some historical significance, as it explores gender dynamics and power imbalances in the workplace.
Through the character of McKayla, the author highlights the challenges that women face in traditionally male-dominated fields and how they are often forced to put in more effort and time to prove themselves. The novella also examines the ethical dilemmas that lawyers face when representing clients who are guilty or unethical.
However, Mitigation, like any book, has some flaws. One of the limitations of the novella is its length.
As a novella, it is much shorter than the average romance novel, and thus, the character development and pacing are somewhat rushed. Some readers may also find that the story relies too heavily on predictable romance tropes and cliches.
Despite these limitations, Mitigation is a well-written and entertaining romance novella that will appeal to fans of the genre. The chemistry between Matt and McKayla is sizzling, and the author does an excellent job of capturing the tension, passion, and lust that exists between them.
Bennett is a talented writer who has a gift for crafting believable and relatable characters, and her ability to make readers care about the characters is one of the book’s strengths. To conclude, I would recommend Mitigation to anyone looking for a quick and enjoyable romance read that combines legal drama with the contemporary genre.
While it’s not a groundbreaking novel, it’s certainly a well-crafted and engaging story that will leave readers satisfied. I would give it a rating of 3.5 out of 5 and recommend it to those who enjoy contemporary romance and legal thrillers.
