Sustained (The Legal Briefs)

A knight in tarnished armour is still a knight.

When you're a defence attorney in Washington D.C., you see first-hand how hard life can be and that sometimes the only way to survive is to be harder. I have a reputation for being cold, callous, intimidating - and that suits me just fine. In fact, it's necessary when I'm breaking down a witness on the stand.

Complications don't work for me - I'm a "need-to-know" type of man. If you're my client, tell me the basic facts. If you're my date, stick to what will get...Read more

I couldn't help but love him...

It's a funny thing when a character, who, if described to me before "meeting" him would have made me cringe, ends up being one of the BEST heroes. I'd even go as far as saying that he had douchewaffle tendencies that hid his soft and gooey centre. I think it's the talent of the author to be able to show his sleazy side without leaving us with a bad taste in our mouth.

I really enjoyed this story. How could I not enjoy a tale where a very serious workaholic falls for a beautiful woman who has just gained full custody of SIX children...and goes back for more. Sure there were a couple of times that I wanted to give him a good talking to, but once he comes good, he's REALLY good.

The heroine is an amazing woman who knows she deserves a good man and will not settle for second best. I couldn't help but love her strength and resilience. I'm a mother myself and there is no way in hell I could do what she did and keep them all alive.

I loved the kids. For six kids to survive the loss of their parents, adjust and come out stronger in the end, shows they're made of good stock.

I am late to the party and didn't realise until I was a couple of chapters in that I've read this series out of order. Guess I've got a wee bit of catching up to do. I will definitely be back for more.
