Alex by Sawyer Bennett

My rating: 4.5 of 5 hearts

Synopsis:
USA Today bestselling author Sawyer Bennett scores big-time with the first novel in a sexy new series hot enough to melt the ice.

Hockey star Alexander Crossman has a reputation as a cold-hearted player on and off the rink. Pushed into the sport by an alcoholic father, Alex isn’t afraid to give fans the proverbial middle finger, relishing his role as the MVP they love to hate. Management, however, isn’t so amused. Now Alex has a choice: fix his public image through community service or ride the bench. But Alex refuses to be molded into the Carolina Cold Fury poster boy . . . not even by a tempting redhead with killer curves.

As a social worker, Sutton Price is accustomed to difficult people—like Alex, who’s been assigned to help her create a drug-abuse awareness program for at-risk youth as part of the team’s effort to clean up his image. What she doesn’t expect is the arrogant smirk from his perfect lips to stir her most heated fantasies. But Sutton isn’t one to cross professional boundaries—and besides, Alex doesn’t do relationships . . . or does he? The more she sees behind Alex’s bad-boy façade, the more Sutton craves the man she uncovers.

Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

I am so happy I stumbled across this book on netgalley. I think I might be in love. I don't know what it was about Alex that was perfect for the mood I was in. Maybe it's the broody attitude, broken spirit. Maybe it's the space he keeps from people. I don't know, whatever it was, was perfect. It could also be that Sawyer is an amazing writer. She pulls you into the story and writes so well you feel like you're there in the story and she didn't hesitate to deliver that same feeling with this book.

Alex is your bad boy, who's broken and refuses to commit, the past is digging it's claws in. Sutton is the good girl, broke free from her past and full of courage and bravery out to change the world. I didn't think these two would get along. I didn't think he would open up. I didn't think he would heal but she does that for him. Helps him. He didn't think he could do the whole relationship thing and he becomes such a great boyfriend. And let's be honest, the sex is HAWT. The way he stood up to Cassie. Swoon. The way he stood up to his dad. Swoon. The way he wowed her brother. Swoon. The way he apologized. Major swoon. I think this was a great storyline and was executed perfectly. I give this 4.5 hearts.

Confessions of a Litigation God by Sawyer Bennett, review by Dee

Legal Affairs - Confessions of a Litigation God by Sawyer Bennett

My rating: 5 of 5 hearts

synopsis:

WARNING, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK from Matt Connover, Litigation God: Please do not attempt to read my story in public, as my sexual proclivities have been known to cause squirming in your seat, squeezing of your legs together and unintentional moaning, sometimes with spontaneous bursts of laughter at random moments. If you are offended by the fact that my oral skills are just as accomplished in the bedroom as they are the courtroom, then this book is not for you. There may be moments while reading my story that you get so turned on… so hot and bothered… that your squirming and moaning could turn maniacal in nature and neither I, nor the author, are responsible for the weird looks you may get. Notwithstanding the aforementioned warnings, if you assume the risk and read my tale in public, then I recommend you carry a spare set of panties with you. You will need them and you have been warned.”

My name is Matt Connover. I am a Litigation God.
Other lawyers quake before me.
Women crawl on their knees just to spend the night in my bed and when I’m finished with them, I walk away without a backward glance.

I am well satisfied with my life and there isn’t a damn thing I’d change about it.

That is, until McKayla Dawson came along.

She was meant to be for one night only.
But she got under my skin, and now I want her back underneath my body.

It’s torture working with her in my law firm… day in and day out. But I have to think maybe the Fates have intervened to throw us together because she is unlike anyone I’ve ever known, and thus I need to pay careful attention to these Legal Affairs.

****
Confessions of a Litigation God is a stand alone, full length novel. It follows the affair of Matt Connover and McKayla Dawson as told in the Legal Affairs Serial Romance, Volumes 1-6. This book is told strictly from Matt's point of view and has many additional scenes not included in the serial volumes.(less)

Let me start with this... Sawyer nailed it with this book. Out of the park. I loved that this was from Matts point of view and written SO well. Not only did she manage to properly display a mans cocky
Point of view, but she also managed to show his growth through the book. And Mac, wow. I love her sass and mouth. I love that she keeps Matt on his toes and doesn't bend to his will. She says some of the most random things and actually made him laugh, made me laugh. This book is equally erotic and funny, steamy and emotional. It really was a fabulous book. I didn't want to put it down. I found myself hoping for a way Matt was going to take Marissa down. He didn't deserve to be treated the way she was treating him, she wronged him. But all in all, he was right. He had to protect Gabe.

I really liked the way sawyer wrote this book. She really did nail the mans POV. There's wasn't a time during the whole book that something didn't sound like something a man would say or do. And how she found that perfect balance of steam and emotion, I'll never know but in don't think she could have done any better. It really was executed flawlessly. Matt and Mac are going to be one of those couples you don't forget and come back to reread bc it's so good.

I give this book 5 hearts
