Guilty As Charged

by Alexa Riley

Abbie is being harassed online but she doesn't know by whom. On top of that, her contracts with her business partner prevent her from defending herself or tracking down the stalker. Desperate for help, her friend puts her in touch with an attorney to see what her options are. Not only does attorney Spencer Chapman come to her rescue, but he might actually be the hero of her dreams.

Spencer has been into comic books since he was a kid, so when a comic book artist is in need of help, he's all too happy to lend a hand. From the moment, he meets Abby he knows she's his forever, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to keep her safe. If she needs a hero, he'll happily be that for her and much, much more.

Love and Lawyers break all the rules when three best friends find their forever. Come along with us as we throw order out of the courtroom and leave judgement at the door.

I’m really disappointed that I happily paid $3.00 for a novella, and now there’s an additional epilogue locked behind a paid subscription. That doesn’t feel fair—once I’ve bought the book, I shouldn’t have to keep paying just to get the full story.

GUILTY AS CHARGED

HERO /HEROINE:
Abbie is a comic book artist and cosplayer. She likes going to conventions and using fashion and costuming as wearable art.

Spencer is a lawyer. He grew up as a nerd and was bullied for his size. Now he's tall and hot but still a nerd.

OVERALL THOUGHTS:
Spencer is a sweetheart and is the perfect match for Abbie.

SAFETY

SEXUAL HISTORY:
I think they're both virgins. Spencer said that there's never been anyone before Abbie and that he's never cuddled. When he explains he was a nerd and bullied in school over his size, he didn't like it when after he grew taller and matured in his looks those same people were nicer to him and gave him attention. Even now that he is an adult he's still shy and isn't comfortable like that, so I think he's also a virgin.

CONDOMS:
No

TUMMY BUTTERFLIES:

Guilty as Charged by Alexa Riley offers a quick, passionate escape into a world where love arrives fast and protection is just a phone call away.

Abbie, a successful comic book artist, faces a silent but terrifying threat—an anonymous online stalker targeting her. Bound by restrictive business contracts that prevent her from defending herself or tracking down the culprit, she’s desperate and unsure where to turn. Fortunately, a friend connects her with Spencer Chapman, a sharp and determined attorney ready to help.

Spencer is a man who knows what he wants the moment he sees it. From their first meeting, he’s all in—committed to fighting for Abbie’s safety, peace of mind, and heart. With his quiet strength, he quickly becomes more than just her legal counsel; he is her protector, partner, and everything she didn’t realize she was missing.

The romance is fast-burning and filled with warmth, possessiveness, and Alexa Riley’s signature devotion. Spencer never hesitates to shower Abbie with reassurance and loyalty. Their connection is instant, with emotional intensity building alongside undeniable physical chemistry.

Readers seeking a fast, feel-good romance where the hero steps up without hesitation and the heroine is cherished will find that dynamic here. While the stalking subplot adds a touch of suspense, the romance remains the story’s main focus throughout.

Guilty as Charged fits seamlessly into a series celebrating instant, intense love that defies convention. Fans of quick, passionate romances with devoted heroes and heroines finding their forever will appreciate this heartfelt addition.

I think he was one of the two characters whose story I most needed to read, I was able to read Spencer in the two previous books of this saga (Legally Binding and Attorney Privilege) and I found the character charming because he believed in his forever since before Abby appeared, even before his friends got married and I was amazed by his story, the Instalove, how protective he was, ufff I loved it!🩷💗

Super cute

Comics writer meets supernerd lawyer to help her through issues with her writer partner and stalker. He completely falls head over tights for her. I know its heels buts its a superhero themed book. He tries to protect her. I could say more but I would give away the ending.

Very quick read. Loved it. 2 chilies for spiciness.
