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 you off. I'm not a therapist or Prince Charming - and I don't pretend to be.
Then Chelsea McQuaid and her six orphaned nieces and nephews came along and complicated the ever-loving hell out of my life. Now I'm going to Mommy & Me classes, One Direction concerts, the emergency room and am knee deep in a damn compost pit.
Chelsea's too sweet, too innocent and too gorgeous for her own good. She tries to be hard, but she's not. She needs someone to help her, defend her…and the kids.
And that - that I know how to do.
This was a fantastic book. I haven't read book 1, but they are all stand-alone, so nothing in book 2 - apart from the couple from book 1, is really present from book 1, so def. can be read as stand-alone and they are definitely stand alone.
This is a single parent category - with 6 kids and one Aunt turned parent. It's got all the crazy that comes with having kids. It's got good romance. It's got an Alpha male who will do anything for his family. It's got humour, and is written from the male's pov, with all the hysterical witty and dry humour that comes with that hehe.
I could not put this book down! And I really recommend it. It's a romantic comedy in a way, but it also has seriousness, love and fighting to stay afloat when you think you might be drowning.
I absolutely loved it. This is the first book I have ever read by Emma Chase, and it did not disappoint. I will def. be looking into the other books by her as she's a talented writer and she wrote Jake in a perfect way that was just up my ally. The humour and wit had me in stitches.
