8 Romance Books to Read if You Like Partner Track


master mentalism tricks

It was one of those days where I was reluctant to let go of summer, but I was all too ready to wrap myself in a blanket and marathon watch something on the television. I was not in the mood for a British murder mystery, nor my slow slog through New Girl. I wanted something similar to Emily in Paris: amusing, transportive (I love Rhode Island but sometimes I need to be taken far far away), and career-based, even if somewhat unrealistic. And then there she was! Ingrid Yun, staring back at me on the television screen. The show was trending, after all, so I simply had to click. Suddenly I was thrown into the world of merger and acquisition law, post-work drinks in Manhattan, and scandal after delicious scandal.

If you too could not look away from season one of Netflix’s Partner Track, then this is for you. As a reader, I found myself looking for reads that would make me feel the same way I felt about the show. From irresistibly attractive lawyers, to ambitious women with very complicated work lives, to lovely New York City settings, I’ve compiled a list of books to read if you like Partner Track.

Romances With Hot Lawyers

The Partner Track by Helen Wan

To kick off this list of books to read if you like Partner Track, I must inform you: in case you missed it, the showis based on a Helen Wan novel! The premise is much the same. Ingrid Yun has worked herself to the bone at a New York City law firm. She’s a determined, brilliant Chinese American woman in a sea of Mad Men-esque characters, and the company unfairly uses her identity to their advantage. This book does differ from the show, however, in that it is not half as romantic or charmingly silly as the show. Ingrid’s story is well worth the read, especially if you liked the show!

Partner Pursuit by Kathy Strobos

I simply cannot recommend a list of books to read if you like Partner Track without a couple of law firm romances! To read about another lawyer in love, dive right into Partner Pursuit by Kathy Strobos. Aubrey is gunning for a partner position at the law firm she works at in New York City, and her neighbor Jake is just the sort of distraction she doesn’t need (or perhaps just the one she desperately needs). Will she have to choose between love and the career position she’s dreamed of? Or can she have it all?

The Trouble with Hating You by Sajni Patel

Liya has no interest in dating, especially if her parents have anything to do with it. She’s stressed out enough about work without having to worry about her love life. But then the very man with whom her parents are trying to set her up ends up at her workplace. And he’s a lawyer. As sparks fly and conversation flows, Liya isn’t sure what to think. Perhaps her parents were right and there’s something more to Jay than she initially thought. But are both Liya and Jay ready to open up to each other?
