Fiction. Romance. HTML:Emma Chase, New York Times bestselling author of the Tangled series, returns with the first installment of the Legal Briefs series!
A Washington, DC, defense attorney, Stanton Shaw keeps his head cool, his questions sharp, and his arguments irrefutable. They don't call him the Jury Charmer for nothing??with his southern drawl, disarming smile, and captivating green eyes, he's a hard man to say no to. Men want to be him, and women want to be thoroughly cross examined by him.
Stanton's a man with a plan. And for a while, life was going according to that plan.
Until the day he receives an invitation to the wedding of his high school sweetheart, the mother of his beloved ten-year-old daughter. Jenny is getting married??to someone who isn't him.
That's definitely not part of the plan.
***
Sofia Santos is a city-raised, no-nonsense litigator who plans to become the most revered criminal defense attorney in the country. She doesn't have time for relationships or distractions.
But when Stanton, her "friend with mind-blowing benefits," begs her for help, she finds herself out of her element, out of her depth, and obviously out of her mind. Because she agrees to go with him to The-Middle-Of-Nowhere, Mississippi, to do all she can to help Stanton win back the woman he loves. Her head tells her she's crazy...and her heart says something else entirely.
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-toting Nana?
The Bourbon flows, passions rise, and even the best-laid plans get overruled by the desires of the

Simpatico, piacevole e divertente questo primo libro della serie mi è piaciuto molto.
L’avvocato Stanton Shaw non riesce a darsi pace quando riceve l’invito al matrimonio di Jenny - sua storica fidanzata nonché madre della sua adorata figlia di 10 anni - e, deciso a riprendersi la donna che ama da sempre, chiede aiuto alla sua amica di “letto” Sofia Santos, anche lei avvocato, perché lo aiuti a riconquistarla. Ne succederanno di tutti i colori e non mancheranno di certo anche le sorprese.
Una lettura ironica, allegra e spensierata, un perfetto scacciapensieri per la mente.

This might have been the first Emma Chase novel I listened to, but it isn't in my records - so adding it now, maybe 18 months after I read it.

I tried listening to some of it just now and it's still great, however, Sophia is such a vulnerable character hiding behind a hard nut facade. It gives me the shivers, as so much of the story is Sophia playing the game and suffering its cost - though of course she never wallows! She's always out there running or joining in!

She and Stanton, her legal co-worker, are gorgeous and sexy, well-matches in that sense, but of course a lesson in how gorgeous and sexy people are still people, however much they think they can go without attachment and be slaves to career.

Almost forgot to mention! that it is read by Jason Carpenter whose voice is perfection for this role. ( )

3.5 for Sofia’s character because she’s amazing but the story was bad written. I liked the ending but it wasn’t enough to have more stars ( )

Oh and there was a Drew sighting! I love Emma Chase's works. The fact she gets so deep into the male mind how it works- not so well at times - has me rolling in laughter. I feel like her other series, this one will improve with each one.

I could connect with the Hero- I want this and can't see the hand in front of my face. Typical alpha dude. However, I felt like the heroine was a bit of a doormat. She gave in too easy. And maybe in real life that's what we do, hang on for crumbs. I just wish she would have had Stanton work for the HEA a little harder.

Edit: after reading a few other reviews, wish I could do 1/2 stars. I would say this is 3.5 stars. Only because Drew was d*uchy but honest. Whereas Stanton wanted his cake and eat it too. I didn't think Jenny was a doormat; she was happy with status quo until she knew she could have better. And she went for it. I read the excerpt for Jake- and I have high hopes. ( )

This is a cute little story. I liked how Emma Chase encorporated that friendship love aspect and how it connected to the main love story plot. It just brought a sense of real ness to the story. ( )
