From the New York Times bestselling author of the Marked Men books comes the second installment in the Saints of Denver series featuring a bad girl and a by the book attorney who could be her salvation...or her ruin.
Avett Walker and Quaid Jackson’s worlds have no reason to collide. Ever. Quaid
is a high powered criminal attorney as slick as he is handsome. Avett is a
pink-haired troublemaker with a bad attitude and a history of picking the wrong
men.
When Avett lands in a sea of hot water because of one terrible mistake, the only
person who can get her out of it is the insanely sexy lawyer. The last thing on
earth she wants to do is rely on the no-nonsense attorney who thinks of her as
nothing more than a nuisance. He literally has her fate in his hands. Yet there
is something about him that makes her want to convince him to loosen his tie
and have a little fun…with her.
Quaid never takes on clients like the impulsive young woman with a Technicolor
dye job. She could stand to learn a hard lesson or two, but something about her
guileless hazel eyes intrigues him. Still, he’s determined to keep their
relationship strictly business. But doing so is becoming more impossible with
each day he spends with her.
As they work side-by-side, they’ll have to figure out a way to get along and
keep their hands off each other—because the chemistry between them is beyond
charged.
My Review: Avett has gotten herself into a real pickle now. Sure she's got a past full of problems. But none of them had landed her in jail, let alone facing real charges a prison time. This is the big wakeup call she needed and if she didn't see to it, well her lawyer and parent will at least try.
Quaid is a lawyer. The best there is and has an amazing case record. He took Avetts case as like any other case. Though it wasn't. He brought her case home, he never lets work leave the office. His mind cant stop thinking about her.
When Quaid gets Avett out on bail and then the charges dropped, it should have ended there.
When Avett calls him to check out a sketchy van things turn. Not only does this mean the case is dangerous and she just may be in danger, but having his hands all over her wasn't the plan either.
As things escalate, so does the heat and feelings between them. Together they work, they work so well that it scares them. Well Avett tried to keep it off but when Quaid jumped in at the end, it pretty much sealed the deal for them.
The ending was amazing and warm hearted and everything you wished for. Its the life they both deserved.
Note:
There are mentions of characters from Marked Men series. But you don't have to
read them to read this book. There isn't so much detail that it throws you
off.
