Taylor’s Law is a standalone novel by Jennifer Raines. This is the first book that i have read of hers and I have to say I really enjoyed it. The plot was original – I have not read another book like it. Though maybe a little predictable, I enjoyed the twists and turns that happened throughout. Ella only wants the best for her niece. After losing her sister, Ella will do anything to keep her niece safe and with her. However, Jake has received word that his cousin is the baby’s father. Meaning it is likely going to be a fight for the baby. Will Ella be able to stand her ground? Or will Jake be the best of the best to win the case? Or will mutual attraction make this situation incredibly messy?! I think you get the idea. This was a fast read and a great book.

This contemporary romance really blew me out of the water. Personally I love contemporary romances, but If they aren’t your cup of tea, I would personally recommend giving this one a go. Full of romance, secrets, lies and more this one has enough twists and turns to keep anyone on the edge of their seats. The characters are very well developed and realistic, the plot is intriguing, and the cover is just flat out clever. So if your looking for a great new read then look this one up today.

This read was heartwarming all in all. I enjoyed the character connections, the feelings that were associated with it, and how everyone seemed to bounce off one another. Enjoyed the use that was seen a lot as I read, of the importance of family and love. That was meaningful to me.
I loved the bond between Ellsa and Tessa. Though she was not her blood mother, Ella would do anything for Tessa. Things happen and they are threatened to be ripped apart. Ella did not give up whatsoever, She fought for the one thing she cared about more than anything. Even when someone throws a card into the pile that puts a wrench in most things, she stayed true to her ground. The essence of family was very strong in this read, I felt a lot as I read, and I am very thankful I got to enjoy such a good book.
The book was a good and fast read. I was very much hooked. The book flowed very nicely as well. I could not put this one down. Highly recommend this must read book, not one to be passed up.

This was an enjoyable and engaging read, which had me hooked from start to finish. Following the death of her sister, Ella Anderson is raising her niece, Tessa as requested, and although she is struggling money wise she’s happy bringing up her adored niece. So when she receives a summons from a legal Goliath, on behalf of a wealthy stranger who is claiming paternity and, potentially wants custody of Tessa, she is shocked. Lawyer Jake Taylor, is looking after his aunt and uncles interests, having received a letter from a women claiming that his cousin has a daughter, Tessa. When Ella, the child’s aunt turns up in his office Jake thinks the case is suspicious. Although Jake and Ella have divided loyalties, neither can deny the growing attraction between them. However, the case is full of secrets and lies, and Ella is not sure that she can trust Jake to make the right decision regarding her having custody of Tessa. This was a heartwarming romance full of drama, which took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it. The storyline is gripping and had me happily turning the pages. The characters and the setting are all brought to life by the descriptive narrative, which made me feel immersed in the story. I definitely recommend this novel.

Unsure of whether this child is really their grandchild or someone trying to con them he heads into war to find out the truth. What he doesn’t expect is to run into Ella. He knows her love for the child is real but a part of him can’t help thinking she is behind the lie, if it is a lie. What happens next is a rollercoaster so emotions run high and secrets and lies slowly come out in the open. When torn between doing what is right by Tessa and doing what his aunty and uncle want which side will Jake choose?

Ella seems to be the most tenacious character I’ve read about in a while. She’s just lost her sister, Chrissy, after a two-year-long battle with cancer, during which Ella was the primary caretaker for both her sister and Chrissy’s daughter, Tessa. Returning back to her apartment following the funeral, she’s faced with an unexpected letter declaring an appointment Chrissy had at a Taylor’s Law Firm, the same firm that helped a greedy corporation swindle her family out of some of their farm’s acreage several years ago. This time, the family faces the threat of a custody battle over Tessa by her biological father, Drew, who seemingly wanted nothing to do with the pregnancy from the start. Things are only complicated further by letters from Chrissy posthumously delivered that imply she’s willing to give custody to Drew’s family in exchange for money. Despite her own reservations and disdain for the law firm, Ella is drawn to Jake Taylor himself, and the two exchange heated words that seem to only fan the flames of attraction between them. For Jake’s part, he’s unaware of the history between the families, but has his own reservations about Ella’s involvement in Chrissy’s “extortion plot.” There’s a lot of pushing and pulling between Ella and Jake, and when Drew finally agrees to a paternity test, things quickly cool off, much to Ella’s confusion and frustration. Drew has his own motives to pursue custody of Tessa; and after discovering the connection between Drew and Jake, Ella decides Jake is on the wrong side of her family’s best interests. She prepares for yet another legal battle against money and power, with the hopes that this fight doesn’t cost her everything she loves. The book is clever, with lovable characters, plenty of tension, and just the right amount of surprise. Some of the push-pull between Ella and Jake feels a little discombobulated, but it might just be cultural differences, as the book is set in Australia; otherwise, I found the book to be a delightfully dramatic read.

What a fantastic read! Ella is caring for her niece Tessa after the death of her sister when she finds out her sister has actually put some wheels in motion that could see her lose Tessa. Ella must navigate the turmoil that comes along with custody battles all while grieving her sister and fighting her growing attraction to Jake Taylor, who happens to be a lawyer with the company who has previously caused her family a lot of heartache. Will Jake be the reason her heart heals or will he be the reason it breaks again? This really is such a wonderfully crafted storyline with totally relatable characters that takes you on a complete rollercoaster of emotions.

Ella is trying to recover from her sister’s passing. She has her niece, Tessa, and now a letter from Taylor Law to come in for an appt. She now has to deal with paternity and custody issues from an unknown father and his parents. Jake Taylor has his hands full trying to fix the ruins that Rory left and handle the case against Drew brought by Chrissy (Ella’s deceased sister). This is a terrific story.There is lots of family drama. We have Ella, Tessa and Jake; Bronwyn and Peter; and Drew and Rory. The drama is intense and deep. It is a bit mysterious because everyone is holding out secrets. The author has written some characters that truly are relatable. I bet people will find they remind them of people they have met or know. Ella and Jake are wonderful because they put Tessa first. I love family friendly plots. I also lot plots that give characters what they deserve. A few good plot twists take care of that. The chemistry sparks about ¼ of the way in. It flickers from the beginning and you can watch it grow. These two are like a growing fire in a fireplace, warm and cozy. I love this contemporary romance and wish I could give it more than a 5 star review. It’s that good. You should read this.

Ella Anderson adores her niece. Despite struggling to make ends meet, accepting her dying sister’s request she raise Tessa as her own is a no brainer. Until she receives a summons from a legal goliath on behalf of a wealthy stranger claiming paternity and, potentially, custody of her child.
Jake Taylor has been ripped off one too many times. Yet the letter from a woman claiming his cousin fathered her child feels real. His aunt and uncle are desperate for a grandchild. When the child’s aunt shows up in his office in place of the child’s mother, he smells fraud.
Secrets and lies bubble to the surface, threatening Ella and Jake’s growing attraction. In a minefield of divided loyalties, can Ella trust Jake to make the right decision about custody of Tessa?
Australian Jennifer Raines writes contemporary romances set mainly in Australia, but not exclusively – think Malta, Finland, New Zealand or ?. A dreamer and an optimist, her stories are a delicious cocktail of mutual respect, passion and loyalty because she still believes in happily-ever-afters. Jennifer loves those days when words flow and the joy of writing makes the hard slog worthwhile. She’s always made up stories about strangers in the street, in a café or strolling through an airport terminal; finding inspiration in snippets of conversation, news items and the sheer puzzle of human interactions.

Her desk overlooks a park which nourishes her soul when she raises her head from her keyboard. She gets some of her best insights during long yin yoga poses or walking—anywhere. Jennifer adores historical romance but chose to write contemporary because she thought (wrongly) it needed less research.
