Emma Chase, New York Times bestselling author of the Tangled Series, returns with the first installment of the Legal Briefs Series.
As a DC defense attorney, Stanton Shaw keeps his head cool, his questions sharp, and his arguments irrefutable. They don’t call him the Jury Charmer for nothing – with his southern drawl, disarming smile and captivating green eyes – he’s a hard man to say no to. Men want to be him and women want to be thoroughly cross examined by him.
Stanton’s a man with a plan. And for a while, life was going according to that plan.
Until the day he receives an invitation to the wedding of his high school sweetheart and mother of his beloved ten-year old daughter. Jenny is getting married — to someone who isn’t him.
That's definitely not part of the plan.

Sofia Santos is a city raised, no-nonsense litigator who plans to become the most revered criminal defense attorney in the country. She doesn’t have time for relationships or distractions.
But when Stanton, her "friend with mind-blowing benefits" begs for help, she finds herself out of her element, out of her depth, and obviously out of her mind. Because she agrees to go with him – to The-Middle-Of-Nowhere, Mississippi – to do all she can to help Stanton win back the woman he loves.
Her head tells her she's crazy...and her heart says something else entirely.
***
What happens when you mix a one stop-light town, two professional arguers, a homecoming queen, four big brothers, some Jimmy Dean sausage and a gun-toting Nana?
The Bourbon flows, passions rise and even the best laid plans get overruled by the desires of the heart.
Fans of Tangled, you better prepare yourselves because you’re in for one hell of a ride in Emma’s new series, The Legal Briefs.
Defense attorney Stanton Shaw has struggled hard to have the position he occupies. He’s made sacrifices and lost important events in his daughter’s life but now he can afford to offer her anything she likes.
His relationship with Jenny has been complicated ever since he left for college and it’s about to become even more so because she has news he never expected to hear.
Sofia has been taught to always fight for what she wants. She strong, determined and she knows what she wants and how to get it.
Her “relationship” with Stanton is easy and convenient and it suits both of them, and the chemistry between the two is off the charts. They sure know how to raise the temperature in a room. Phew!
Neither is looking for something serious and what they have is devoid of any kind of complications.
Or so they think because, all of a sudden, things become all kinds of complicated and awkward when Sofia gives in and agrees to accompany Stanton to Mississippi.
Moment of honesty here – after reading the Tied series I was so afraid I won’t like Overruled, that it won’t raise up to the challenge. Boy, was I wrong. I’ve been laughing my head off from beginning to end.
This book has everything you can think of- funny, charming, strong and sexy characters, insanely hilarious situations, passion, romance, just the right amount of drama to keep things interesting and, did I mention the hot guys? No? Why, yes, there’s a lot of eye candy for your imagination ladies.
I am so glad I gave this book a chance and I cannot wait to get my hands on Sustained.
Mrs. Chase, I stand in awe. Brilliant!
Happy Reading!!
