I'm going to start by saying if you're a fan of Emma Chase and haven't read this series, what the hell are you waiting for? You have to read the Legal Briefs series!! Jake's been my fave of these legal eagles since the get go!
Having the chance to visit with my favourite bunch of legal eagles was so much fun. And Jake Becker *sigh*...in true Jake fashion, he's still sexy-as-fuck and hilarious. I just adore how he says it like it is and is just an amazing father. There were so many sweet, hilarious and real moments, especially around parenting. Emma captured so perfectly the frustrations but also the pure beauty of being a parent. And some of the lines!!

“Why do kids only hear the things you don’t want them to hear? Every fucking time.”
I highly recommend this series. This novella is a golden gem. This is one of those quick, wickedly delicious reads that I’ll definitely be going back to when I need a burst of happy or a pick me up of an all alpha caveman or a really good fucking laugh. Thank you, Emma!

This is Brent’s story, the last in the funny foursome of Emma Chase’s Legal Briefs series. As I’ve said before, Emma is definitely my go-to for a hilarious romantic escapade that’s bound to bring me to tears with laughter, cause butterflies in my tummy and my heart rate to uptick with the sexy times.
This is a second chance story of Brent Mason and his neighbour and also childhood friend, Kennedy Randolph. These two had a meaningful friendship and a brief romantic encounter when younger that ended abruptly with confusion for both parties as to what they thought went down.
Now years later, they find themselves face-to-face on different sides of a case and Kennedy is out for blood. Gone is the girl Brent remembers and in her place is a woman scorned.
The sparring and banter between these two was hilarious.
“What’d you do to your face?” she asks, folding her arms. I touch my chin. “I grew a beard.” “Well ungrow it. It looks like a vagina from a 1970s porn film.”
[image]
This was definitely one of those great love-hate relationships and when Kennedy and Brent were on, they were damn good!
I also enjoyed the presence of the entire gang from this series…Jake’s my absolute fave and loved seeing how he’s dealing with teenagers and being a father…
I found the O`Brien clan to be the biggest draw here and I enjoyed hot, sexy police office Curran O`Brien. I had a hard time connect3.25 O'Brien STARS
I found the O`Brien clan to be the biggest draw here and I enjoyed hot, sexy police office Curran O`Brien. I had a hard time connecting with Tess Newart. She seemed to have a split personality: meek and mild, reserved with most people yet uptight, prissy and all vixen with Curran. I did feel sympathy for her once I learned more about her past and the abuse she`s endured by her father but I never really felt anything more than 'meh' with her.
The chemistry between Tess and Curran was hot as were the sex scenes and I liked the author`s writing style. While Curran`s told to keep it professional with Tess, that little bit of tension helped but then once they got together, there was no further development in their relationship. I would have liked more exploration of their relationship.

I enjoy a good court room romance. The tension and the smarts and the wit just keep things interesting and things moving fast, if it's done well. Ms. Bennett did just that!
Leary Michael, a top litigator with the law firm of Knight & Payne, is a woman who knows how to use all of her assets to win. Learning from the best, her mentor and boss, taught her to...
“Make men notice you, and when you’ve fogged their senses with lust, slap them with your brains. Make woman want to be like you, but be so confident in your abilities that they will inevitably fall flat on their face.”
Leary is a pro at this and snares her opposing counsel, Reeve Holloway, with one of these tactics.
Of course, their desire morphs into something deeper while in the court room they're clearly on opposing sides of the battlefield.
“Will we be able to open ourselves up to sex, emotion, and genuine affection after a hard day of trying to tear each other down?”
Reading this was like one giant bomb ticking down to the final moment. It could have gone down in so many ways and I was glued to my Kindle as I needed to know!!
This was my first Kate Meader read and I'm looking forward to more from her. I had so much fun with this!! While this is the second 4.5 SIZZLING STARS
This was my first Kate Meader read and I'm looking forward to more from her. I had so much fun with this!! While this is the second book in a series, it can be read as a standalone.
I'm a big fan of the love-hate thing and this one had all that craziness and more in spades. Alexandra Dempsey is firefighter and Eli Cooper is the mayor, the typical politician and also, technically, Alex's boss.
At the outset, like Alex, I wasn't a fan of Eli. He seemed full of ulterior motives and double-talk but I must admit, I grew to love him.
I just adored Alex! She was strong, courageous but also fragile and soft.
“The woman rocked the curves of Marilyn Monroe, the no-filter mouth of Chelsea Handler, and the spirit of Amelia Earheart.”
And Eli was sexy and once you got to know him, sweet and vulnerable too. And the banter and quips between these two were laugh out loud hilarious and at times, sexy as all that!
"Weirdo, stalker, jagoff-" "You planning to kiss my cock later with that mouth?"
“But the kiss was like him – just too damn good. Warm and brutal, providing answers to questions she never knew she had.”
I highly recommend this book. This is a great contemporary romance with complex and likable main characters and secondary characters that steal your heart (Alex's family -- her brothers are awesome!). This was a funny, sexy, at time emotional, hot and romantic read. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series!

Emma Chase is a rare and gifted breed of author that has the natural knack of mixing 5 SEXY JAKE STARS
“A knight in tarnished armor is still a knight.”
Emma Chase is a rare and gifted breed of author that has the natural knack of mixing hilarity with a little bit of angst and a whole lot of hot and sexy to perfection!
Jake Becker is a criminal defense attorney and likes things organized his way - neat and easy. He's Mr. No Strings, definitely a playboy and has no shame in admitting it.
“A woman’s mind and personality don’t turn me on. It’s her other parts that hold my attention.”
He gets a wake up call when a past one night stand tells him he may have a STD and he has to get tested. Jake in discussion with Stanton, Sofia and Brent considers dating so he’s getting regular sex from one partner rather than many.
“I wonder if the pussy is better if you actually know the girl’s name.”
Then one day, Jake's life gets real complicated and messy when he meets Chelsea McQuaid, recent guardian to her 6 nieces and nephews.
[image]
Chelsea's smart, funny, beautiful and has a huge, caring heart. Even with all the chaos around them, Jake and Chelsea just click. I loved how Emma let Jake and Chelsea’s relationship gradually grow as she took us through their natural progression from friends to lovers.
Chelsea and Jake were so real and had my tummy a flutter with all the great feels yet there was also a fragility to their relationship. Jake still had so much to work out and Chelsea's life had dramatically shifted to a place where she doesn't have time for games and uncertainty.
And Jake with the kids was simply adorable. He’s honest, says it like it is but he’s also caring, protective and has their best interest at heart. Oh man, Jake...
[image]
“I want her – this fearless, stunning woman. And I want the kids. Those perfect, awful, amazing children – whom she loves with every inch of her soul. I want them to be mine. Mine to hold, mine to protect and teach. Their joy, their laughter, their love. I want to come home to it, bask in it, be the reason for it.”
I highly recommend this book and this series! Absolute tingles of joy, laughs and all over feel good read! Just writing this review makes me want to read it again.
“What happens when you mix a one-stop-light town, two professional arguers, a homecoming queen, four big brothers, some Jimmy Dean sausage, and a gun-Nana?
Yes, it’s all that hilarity and more!! At the core, this is a tale of love...
“Young love is strong. First love is powerful.”
[image]
It’s hard to fight nostalgia and some of your most memorable and gratifying firsts. Moments in your life that have shaped you and what you believe, want and what drives you. This book takes you on that journey and explores many facets of love’s bounty and how without our conscious knowledge, relationships can morph in and out of love and also into different kinds of love.
I’d like to interrupt this regularly scheduled review to thank Ms. Chase for the few cameo appearances and references to Drew Evans... “is like no one I’ve ever known. It’s as if there’s a spotlight on him that never dims…” Emma...
[image]
There’s a connection between Drew and Stanton (which I won’t spoil) that also explains why Stanton has some of Drew’s traits (or really, any man’s traits). For instance,as much as I loved Stanton, there were moments where I seriously wanted to…
[image]
This tale could have gotten real ugly and gone down some predictable paths filled with rage, jealousy and angst but it didn’t. Thank you, Emma! And while there were laughs and levity, there was also a maturity about it even with how whacked the situation was. And yes, there were some sad and bittersweet moments but overall, a fun, sexy and sassy read.
I’d highly recommend this book. For those first time readers of Ms. Chase, this will give you a flavour for how witty, entertaining and gifted this writer is with her original stories, so hot, sexy and memorable heros and take-no-prisoner heroines. And to all you Drew Evans lovers out there, you MUST READ THIS BOOK!

So, Matt and Mac have come to some sort of arrangement of mixing business and sex.
[image]
They can no longer deny their sexual attraction but it's just SEX as Matt says over and over again
[image]
...but, it never quite works out that way. While Mac tells herself she's on-board with that, her pesky "feelings" start to get in the way and she starts to want more. We also get a glimpse of the green eyed monster.
This was my first Sawyer Bennett book and I liked it, a lot. The writing was good, the story and banter was witty, sexy and hot, and the 4 SEXY STARS
This was my first Sawyer Bennett book and I liked it, a lot. The writing was good, the story and banter was witty, sexy and hot, and the MCs were engaging. Matt Connover is a demanding, hot - alpha to the core - litigation lawyer who has a one night stand with smart, sexy McKayla Dawson, soon to be his employee (unbeknownst to either of them at the time).
[image]
Not sure what it is about Alpha lawyer jerks, and let me tell you Matt is all that, but they just turn me on!
[image]
And Matt’s confident, demanding and insensitive banter is really attractive in a twisted way! Some of my faves:
"…I’m going to have you so wet, I’ll slide right home. Trust me." [image]
"I think with my dick, McKayla…not my heart. It serves me well." "Well, I have to say your dick is the most pleasant thing about you."
This picks up with Mac and Matt keeping their relationship strictly professional although Mac can't shake the Matt Connover blues. 4 ACCEPTING STARS
This picks up with Mac and Matt keeping their relationship strictly professional although Mac can't shake the Matt Connover blues. The only thing she has to look forward to is a date with Cal Carson and even with that, she wishes it were Matt.
[image]
Of course, Matt is at the Gala and when he sees Mac with Cal, he makes his play in the only way an smart Alpha male would. Mac and Matt fall back into bed and Mac learns a few more things about Matt's past. With this revelation, she slowly seems to come to terms with the fact that all she shares with Matt is this sizzling hot chemistry.
This novella ends with Mac receiving a devastatingly personal blow. ...more

This was the final in the six part series that I really enjoyed. Throughout the series, Matt and Mac have had a tumultuous sexual relationship with Mac vacillating between being okay with just sex (although she's never really okay with it but she can't resist Matt) to wanting more - a relationship with feelings and dates and all that other stuff.
[image]
Matt adamantly sticks to the just sex camp and finally ventures into uncharted "relationship territory when Mac pulls away. We learn more about Matt as he lets Mac into more of his personal life and in turn, we come to understand why Matt has built those formidable walls around his heart.
It's only when Mac and Matt call it quits and the end is truly coming near does it force Matt to be true to himself and his heart.
This series was easy to get lost in with the sexy banter, dirty talk, chemistry and realistic challenges of relationships. It certainly helped that this all took place in a law office. The legal setting and background stories helped to add to the story, the angst, the sex and the overall fun of this series. I look forward to Matt's POV. ...more
