Law Maker

Invisibility has been Clara’s go-to survival skill since childhood. So she hides behind her thick glasses and heavy fringe, working as a teaching assistant at the exclusive Molton Prep, happy with her seven-year-old pupils and avoiding their posh parents. Her one secret indulgence? Watching the gorgeous but wildly intimidating Lord Rafe Sterling sweep into school to collect his son.

Her crush on him is ridiculous. Lord Sterling is way older than her, aristocratic, terrifying, and tipped to be one of the UK’s youngest judges. Even if she did stand a chance, a girl with a background like hers should avoid him at all costs.

Rafe can’t believe the school has the balls to tell him he can’t meet the Miss Clara who told his son his brain “works differently”. Nobody refuses a meeting with Lord Sterling. But when he bulldozes his way past the rules to confront her, he’s shocked by how much the shy, mousy woman affects him. She might be too scared to make eye contact, but when it comes to defending his son, she’s surprisingly fierce. And after he convinces her to work as his son’s tutor and she gradually stops flinching in his presence, his obsession with her only grows.

As a rule, he gets what he wants, and Rafe wants Clara very badly. But he should be careful what he wishes for, because Clara Morris is not who she says she is. In his arrogance, he pushes her away, not realising that her fear runs deeper than simple shyness, not seeing the danger she’s in until it’s too late…

LAW MAKER is an opposites-attract, billionaire, age-gap, single-dad contemporary romance, perfect for fans of intense, protective heroes and heroines overcoming trauma to find their happily-ever-after.

Beautifully emotional

Susie Tate's stories keep getting better and better. Clara and Rafe's story was an emotional ride. Both narrators did an amazing job.

Fantastic!

This was so well written and performed. The trauma, the emotions, the numbness, the helplessness, the survival; all if it was so well done!
Excellent!

Heartbreakingly beautiful

At this point I think Susie is just setting out to break our hearts from the jump.

I kid, but for real...Clara's family was absolute trash. This made me think the movie Matilda, with Clara being Ms. Honey. Our girl had a horrible life and survived to find security and safety...for her trash family to find a way to try and rip it all away.

Then there's Rafe aka Mr. GrUmPy Pants. When he enters the chat, with his arrogance and swagger.... LORDAMERCY, no wonder Clara watches him from behind the cubbies...at a safe distance.

I also have to say I totally reached out to Susie and said we may need a second gen, because little Margot and Ozzie give me LIFE!

Man, as if everything with the main characters didn't break us, the scene with Clara's mom. Where she had been so beaten down, she didn't know how to function. 😭😭😭

As always Shane East and Zara Hampton-Brown have a Phenomenal performance, worthy of all the awards.

Enjoyable listen

I liked the book and enjoyed listening to it but, if you are going to name a series “Aristocrats of London” you should research how to properly address these people. This is not the first book from this author with the same mistakes and, it’s unbelievable to me that not one person reviewing this book before publishing it, said something about it.

Did not disappoint!

Susie Tate you made me ugly cry again! The performances spoils me from all other audio book performers. This story is so good and heartbreaking.
