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?

******* MY REVIEW*****
******* MY REVIEW*****
Seducing The Defendant is the second book in
the Conflict of Interest series. Seducing The Defendant is Jaxon's
story and what a story it is. Jaxon is a hot-shot criminal defense
attorney who has come back to work after being on a sabbatical due to a family
emergency. His first case back is of a woman being accused of murdering
her husband. After he hears the details of the case, he isn’t too
sure he wants this case but decides to meet with the defendant first before
making a judgement call.
Scarlett is back in town
after hiding out in another country and caring for a sick relative. She gets
told to come back and face murder charges—charges that she killed her husband.
She does return and realizes she needs the best defense attorney to represent
her and clear her of the charges so she goes and hires her the best-and that is
Jaxon Bentley.
This is a story that will
have you glued from start to finish. The sexual tension between Jaxon
and Scarlett is intense, it’s amazing and the push/pull between them is
something you can literally feel. Knowing that they are attorney and client doesn’t
mean a thing to me, it just has me rooting even harder for them to get
together. On top of the romance, we have a murder mystery and it was fantastic
to see a re-appearance of the Wind Dragons MC in the story –
Scarlett has ties to the Wind Dragons and it was great to see them in this
story and to learn of Scarlett and her ties with them and what they have to do
with this story. There are so many
things happening in this story- things that will have you going thru a range of
emotions. You have action packed, dangerous, fun, sexy, heartbreaking and
passionate all teaming for top billing of emotions in this story—Scarlett and
Jaxon make a great couple and it was sad when their story came to an end….but I
cannot wait to read the next book in this series.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *****
“I received an advanced
copy of this book from the author at no cost to me ”
