Let me start by saying that I did not read the first book
in the Conflict
of Interest series, but I found this book can be read
as a standalone. I do not feel that you need to read the
first one to understand what is going on in this book. I
did find this book to be a quick read and once you start you
will not want to put the book down until the last page
turns. It does take a bit for the plot to build up and
develop, but the characters all have a level of depth that
helps round out the story. While the setting is the perfect
choice for all the drama to take place.
Scarlett is accused of murdering her husband and she is
determined to find the best criminal lawyer money can buy.
However, things are not always as they seem and a picture is
worth a thousand words. It took time to warm to Scarlett's
bristly personality, but once you get into the book and read
more about her then you will start to understand her. Her
whole life has not been easy and the things she has gone
through will break your heart. The more you read the more of
a sweetheart she becomes.
Jaxson has more of a quieter, laid back kind of personality.
He has his own set of demons that he has to deal with and a
past that just will not go away. You will feel sorry for him
from the beginning. He has a well-written backstory that
helps explain a lot of the things that are going on with the
plot. This book will make you feel like you are on a roller
coaster ride of emotions. You never know what will happen
next and will be on your toes until the very end. I
really enjoyed reading this book and hope to read the
first book soon. Overall, a great steamy read to enjoy on a
cold day.
New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando
returns to her latest, steamy Conflict of Interest series
with this electrifying tale of murder, justice, and intense
attraction.
Jaxon Bentley is a hardnosed criminal lawyer whose entire
life revolves around his work. He’s been asked to represent
Scarlett Reyes, a woman accused of murdering her police
officer husband in cold blood. All the evidence points to
Scarlett being guilty and Jaxon is sure it’s an open and
shut case.
But when he meets his client, he can’t help but feel that
she’s innocent and that there’s more to the story than meets
the eye. With a bit of digging, he uncovers a connection to
the notorious Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club and realizes that
Scarlett’s case is a complicated and difficult one. It
certainly doesn’t help that the two share an immediate and
passionate attraction. Will Jaxon be able to prove
Scarlett’s innocence or are the two doomed to fail both in
court and as a couple?
