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 Christian Louboutins.
Brent has never let the loss of his leg in a childhood accident affect his ability to lead a fulfilling life. He sets high goals–and then he reaches them.
And now he has his sights set on Kennedy.
**
When Kennedy looks at Brent Mason, all she sees is the selfish, Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue-worthy teenager who humiliated her in high school to join the popular crowd. A crowd that made those years a living hell.
She’s not a lovesick social outcast anymore - she’s a DC prosecutor with a long winning streak behind her. Brent is the opposing attorney in her next case and she thinks it’s time to put him through a little hell of his own.
But things aren’t exactly working out that way.
Because every fiery exchange has her wondering if he’s as passionate in the bedroom as he is in the courtroom. Each argument and objection only makes him want her more. In the end, Brent and Kennedy may just find themselves in love…or in contempt of court.
APPEALED is a sexy, humorous romance about first crushes, second chances and the final verdict of the heart.
“I want to break down her doors, climb her ivory tower. I want to slay all her fucking dragons”
The Sweetest, Swooniest, Sexiest Emma Chase book yet!
Oh Brent! How I love thee. Our mystery man, our intriguing soul.. now I know why Emma saved the BEST for last! He is such a good guy and a loyal friend. He loves Superheroes, and is a Comic Book Collector! Brent Mason you are the one for me!
I loved Kennedy too!! She is smart, sweet, sassy and a Twilight fan!! I would love to be her BFF except for the fact that I would totally try to steal her boyfriend!
I am a big sucker for a Knight in Shining Armor who loves Superheroes and is a Comic Book Geek/Defense Attorney! 🙂
Emma Chase just has a knack for giving us swoony heroes and some pretty awesome heroines. She gives us smart story-lines that are all her own. She has such a wicked wit (one that I would kill for), she is hilarious and she is a total genius with words. Her books are Rom-Com perfection. I am always ready and waiting for anything that comes out of her brain and her heart!
Appealed was Amazing ! The BEST one yet!
“Insults are our flirting. Arguing is our foreplay. One time, she was so worked up she hauled off and took a swing at me – and my reaction was a boner that wouldn’t be denied.
It’s not as twisted as it sounds. It works for us.”
“She looks me straight in the face. “I could never be with someone like you – you have the maturity of a twelve-year-old boy.”
I raise my glass. “And you have the chest of one.”
I expect her to come back with a clever, biting retort, but she just gestures to me with an open palm. “I rest my case.”
Ironically, my first instinct is to stick my tongue out at her. But I won’t give her the satisfaction.”
“I’ve never forgotten you, sweetheart. Not even close.”
“I am in love with you. When I look at you, think about you, I can’t decide if I want to fuck you, strangle you, or just hold you in my arms. Usually all three. And if that’s not love, I don’t know what is” … “You’re everything I’ve been searching for, before I even knew I was looking.”
“The ride is the only thing that makes the fall worth it.”
“What if the reason I’ve never let myself fall in love with a woman is because I didn’t have anything to give? Because I’d already given my heart to her when we were seventeen years old? And all these years…I’ve just been waiting for her to come back to me with it.”
“Her taste makes me feel a little drunk. And the whisper of my name from her lips makes me feel a little crazy”
