I am fascinated by lawyers turned authors, especially lawyers turned authors of fun women's fiction. Like the lovely and talented Brenda Janowitz, author of JACK WITH A TWIST, I can think of several attorneys turned writers, like Laura Caldwell and Whitney Gaskell and Emily Giffin. There's a real following your bliss/heart there. 

And in Jack WITH A TWIST, Brenda Janowitz has her lawyer protagonist and her lawyer fiance walk down the aisle of a courtroom in this wonderful and fun story. Here's the scoop:

Planning a wedding can be a trying experience…

A little pre-wedding anxiety is normal for every bride, and Manhattan attorney Brooke Miller isn’t worried. She’s got the loving support of the world’s greatest guy, so planning her nuptials should be a piece of cake.

But that was yesterday.

Today, Brooke’s landed her first big case and has just discovered that the opposing attorney is none other than her fiancé, Jack. But that’s okay. These two professionals aren’t going to let a little courtroom sparring get their legal briefs in a bunch.… Right? Wrong! Now Jack’s pulling every dirty trick in the law books, and Brooke’s starting to suspect that maybe he isn’t the man she thought he was. Warring with her fiancé at work and at home, Brooke realizes that she’ll have to choose between the case of her life, or actually having a life.

About Brenda Janowitz: Brenda is the author of the novels JACK WITH A TWIST (Engaging your adversary and other things they don’t teach you in law school) and SCOT ON THE ROCKS (How I survived my ex-boyfriend's wedding with my dignity ever so slightly intact), as well as the short story BASED ON A TRUE STORY.
