The New York Times bestselling author of the Tangled books returns with the third romance in the Legal Briefs series, a collection of sexy novels about first crushes, second chances, and the final verdict of the heart.

When Brent Mason looks at Kennedy Randolph, he doesn’t see the awkward, sweet girl who grew up next door. He sees a self-assured, stunning woman…who wants to crush the most intimate—and prized—parts of his anatomy beneath the heels of her Louboutins.
When Kennedy looks at Brent, all she sees is the selfish, Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue–worthy teenager who humiliated her in high school in order to join the popular crowd. A crowd that made those years a living hell for her.

But she’s not a lovesick social outcast anymore—she’s a Washington, DC, prosecutor with a long winning streak. Brent is the opposing attorney in her next case, and Kennedy thinks it’s time to put him through a little hell of his own.

But things aren’t exactly working out the way she planned. Brent has his sights set on Kennedy, and every fiery exchange only makes him want her more—and makes her wonder if he’s as passionate in the bedroom as he is in the courtroom. In the end, they may just find themselves in love…or in contempt of court.

Yesi’s Thoughts

Another winner by the master of the male POV! Appealed is everything that I was expecting and so much more. Emma Chase delivers a phenomenal story with her classic flair.

“I don’t know how women do it. I don’t know how they even like any of us – a significant portion of the male population deserves to have their dicks cut off. And don’t think I say that lightly.”  

Brent Mason is a hot man with a bit of arrogance, he has a ton of self-confidence of course, he’s a self proclaimed stud in the bedroom, and  his inner dialogue is absolutely hilarious! So once again you can’t help but fall in love with the male lead in this Legal Briefs series, only this time, Brent lands himself at the very top! Kennedy Randolph is a woman scorned and is not the sweet innocent girl that lived next door to Brent growing up. They haven’t seen each other for fourteen years and now they are about to face off. I have to admit this could have gone is so many different ways but the way Ms. Chase tells their story is perfection.

“I’ve never forgotten you, sweetheart. Not even close.”  

Appealed is a unique take on second chance romance and it is totally captivating. I loved the dynamic between Brent and Kennedy. Their chemistry was off the charts and the story kept my interest level so high that I may have missed quite a bit of what was going on around me. I was invested from start to finish and even with the ending we got, I still wanted more. Just when you think that this series can’t get any better… boom! Brent Mason steals the show and Appealed becomes an instant favorite in the series! Now if only the “man-servant” could get his own book….hmmmm 😉
