Grind (verb): to weaken or destroy gradually
Macy Carrington is not the woman I once thought her to be.
What she does not allow her heart to feel, she gives with her body. The sex between us is explosive and depraved. I’ve done things with her that would never have crossed my wildest imagination, and I can’t ever seem to get enough.
But now I want more from her. I want to figure out her dark secret, expose it and then help her to heal from it. I know, without a doubt, that Macy is capable of love, and I will grind her down until I make her accept the truth of it.
Grind (verb): to wear down, polish, or sharpen by friction
Cal Carson is not the man I once thought him to be.
Strong, determined, sexy as hell and a beast in the bedroom. He is every woman’s fantasy.
He is my fantasy.
But no matter how hard Cal tries to grind me down, my heart and secrets are mine and mine alone.
**Clash is the first book in this Legal Affairs trilogy and is releasing on 4/7/15. Grind will be released on 4/21/15 and Yield will be released on 5/5/15. (less)

I love this book way more than the first ^^ Don't get me wrong I enjoy Clash, it was a nice introduction to Cal and Macy story but with Grind we finally get down on business!!
This is going to be a special review because for once I haven't highlight a thing in the book so I have no quote to share. It's not because there were any good ones, on the contrary, the book was filled with good thought, dirty thought, perfect word and a very good perception on both character. But I read it in one sitting and I couldn't get my mind out of the journey of two very different people who seem to have found their match during their sexual encounters.
The book starts where Clash ended and Cal is willing to help Marcy with the law suit she is facing, even if she would have preferred to have sex with him.
Cal is not against that idea but he doesn't want to mix pleasure and business so what's better than to close the case quickly to go where they both want to be.... in bed!
Grind is very sensual, very steamy, Sawyer Bennett reminds me that she can write great sex scenes and the book was terribly erotic. Throughout Cal's mind, the author gives us enough details to make us drool and see that the connection between Cal and Marcy is extremely strong
Marcy is still secretive here but she begins to open up a little. We get her thoughts through her diary and little by little we see her walls crumbled. Yet, she is still protecting herself and she still hide a huge secret.
She puts limits to what she is feeling because she doesn't want to be overwhelmed. She doesn't know what love is or at least what it is like to be with someone other than sex. And she is scared of getting attached.
Cal knows he will eventually get hurt if his heart begins to be involved. He is not in love with Marcy but he begins to see that what he thought wasn't the truth. He discovers a vulnerable woman who doesn't need to be pushed too far but who maybe need him more than she knows.
Grind was really a beautiful surprise for me with more scene between both MC. Their connection and friendship is different from what I'm used to but I can already see how their bond will keep getting stronger. I can't wait to see how everything will fall into place.

Ummmm.... Holy Sh*t!!! Grind by Sawyer Bennett was f*cking hot, erotic, and dirty!!! I thought Clash was hot but Grind was smoking dirty hot!!! Ms. Bennett aptly titled this book, Grind, because Cal and Macy were indeed grinding on each other nonstop. When Ms. Bennett told me that she really pushed the boundaries in this book, boy oh boy did she really push the limit sexually.
Grind picks off where it last left off in Clash. Cal takes on Macy's lawsuit case. As much as Cal wants to separate business and pleasure, he finds it hard to resist the temptation since he can't stop lusting after Macy and the same goes for Macy. One thing is for certain, Macy and Cal have sexual chemistry. Their chemistry is pure wanton, raw, and uninhibited. It is pure carnal desire and lust. Cal and Macy continue to push each other to their sexual limits. Once the boundaries are pushed to the limit, will it awaken something inside Cal and Macy that maybe they should try the possibility of being in a monogamous relationship? Or will Macy's fears and past ruin her chance of happiness with Cal?
Okay, it's official I'm hooked with this serial. Grind pushed the boundaries and finally we get a glimpse of Cal and Macy pushing each other sexually. We see walls slowly being broken down and vulnerabilities being exposed. Again, Ms. Bennett has to leave us with another cliffy ending and has readers speculating what is Macy's dirty secret. I do have my guess as to what Macy's secret is but I can't wait for the truth to be finally revealed in book 3. And I look forward in seeing Cal coming to the rescue of Macy and showing her that she is worthy of love and she is worth the fight.

Cal and Macy get even HOTTER in Grind.
These two have NO LIMITS when it comes to their sex life and HOLY HELL Macy's fantasy has to be one of hottest sex scenes I have ever read, Sawyer has one hell of an imagination.
Feelings are beginning to develop between them.
Loved the conversation between Cal and Matt, I hope they become best friends again.
I am dying to find out what the big secret is so I'm off to read Yield.

Sparks continue to fly, and Cal finds himself in deeper than he ever expected with this unparalleled sexual dynamo.
Macy needs a lawyer, and who better for the job than Cal. Any excuse to appease their addictions for each other.
Macy uses dominance and depravity to soothe her soul, and you will not be disappointed with Carnal Cal either. Deep and dirty is the theme of their merging, and no limits have been called.
May 5th can’t come soon enough..

Well, well, well.... Every time I think Ms. Bennett has bested herself in the dirty, kinky sex department, she *snickers* comes up with something dirtier, kinkier, sexier. And holy mother of mercy, Grind was....like, *gulp* *gasp* FUCK!!
They may not be friends. They may not even really like one another. But Macy Carrington and Cal Carson have a boatload of chemistry and a strong desire to fuck one another into oblivion. With Cal helping Macy -- in more ways than one -- will their sexual relationship keep building??
Ummmm... I am honestly not sure what to say about Grind except that if really erotic erotica is your thing, you're going to want to read this book. Ms. Bennett had me panting, sweating, swearing and casting sneaky glances over my shoulder to make sure I wasn't going to be sprung reading this hotter-than-fuck book on the airplane. Not because I was worried about people knowing that I was reading this sexy series. No, no, because I'm plotting to keep filthy Saint Cal all to myself.
Can you tell I thought this book was H. O. T.? But it's something else too. It's actually quite sweet and kind of sad. I loved Macy here -- bruised, broken, mysterious Macy, whose diary entries give much needed insight into her psyche but don't overwhelm the reader. God, I need to get to the bottom of her secrets. I want to learn more about her. I desire all the best things for her and Cal...
But with that epic cliffhanger ending, it's not all sunshine and roses. Not yet, anyway. I got to the end, happy and sad, excited and frustrated and so damn ready to jump into Yield, that I've never been more grateful for long-haul travel and a well-stocked Kindle. Cal, Macy, you're mine. I can't wait to see what happens next! ~ Beth, 5 stars
~~~
MUST. HAVE. BOOK 3. NOW!!! Holy cliffhanger, Ms. Bennett! I need to know what is going to happen and what Macy’s secret is!
Grind is the second book of Cal and Macy’s story and I think it was even better than the first. We finally get to see Macy let a little of her guard down with Cal. And we continue to see Cal break down her walls.
“You can tell me anything, Macy. I’m you friend. You will always be safe in telling me, but more importantly…you will never be judged by this man.”
We also got to see Cal try some new things for Macy. And it was HOT! Note to self – do not read Sawyer’s books when my husband is at work or the kids are awake!! This book was sizzling, scorching, erotic; pick an adjective that means fucking HOT and add it here because there aren’t enough to describe some of the scenes in this book!
I continue to adore Mac and her relationship with both Cal and Macy, and the scene between Matt and Cal was awesome. I can’t wait to read the conclusion to this series and find out if Macy and Cal will end up together! ~ Tiffany, 5 stars

Sawyer Bennett can write one hell of a series. And this one is no exception. I often tell her she needs to stop writing because my panties just can’t handle all the awesomeness and heat she brings to the pages; she has yet to listen to me. It’s probably for the best.
So Saint Cal and Macy join us again right where we left them. In Cal’s office while she is trying to show him her pet beaver. (And I would assume it’s a pretty beaver, because Cal spends a lot of time kissing it.)
Cal and Macy end up in Utah, and then spend the rest of the trip in a hotel room. And let me tell you, that man needs to change his name to MacGyver! He can do anything with hotel supplies!
Macy seems to be warming up in this book a bit. Maybe THAT’S why she is wet all the time…? LOL. If you have made it this far into the review, congrats! Now go buy the series, and extra panties. And maybe some batteries. ~ Devlynn, 4.5 stars

Coming off of Clash by Sawyer Bennett, I could not wait to get my hands on Grind. Going into this series, I had no idea that I was going to fall so hard for Macy and Cal. My allegiance was sort of to Mac and Matt, but wow….Sawyer has evened the weights on the scale, because Macy and Cal have speedily crept into my heart and I am totally enamored by them.
In Grind, Sawyer really brings the schizzle. We get a bit of F/F and M/M and some more scorching sex scenes with just Cal and Macy. Cal is on a sexual ride with Macy that totally pushes his boundaries and I love the honesty that was written into his character. The integrity in which Cal showed Macy as to what he deemed he could handle and what he couldn’t brought out such a rawness to this character that I fell that much more in love with him. But as sexual as Macy is, she is coming to realize sex with one man….commitment to one man….is very comforting.
The storyline in Grind was perfect. We get to know both characters on a more personal level and seeing Macy go through the stress of having her secrets about to implode felt very real to me. Cal might be a freak in the sheets but he is a gentleman on the streets and shows Macy that everyone in her life might have bolted, but he is going to stick and ride this one out with her. As the story wraps up, secrets are unraveling and as much as Macy wants to push Cal away for fear she is unworthy, our knight in shining armor seals the deal by letting no one get to Macy.
What an amazing series this is turning out to be. Sawyer has quickly risen to the top of my list of authors I will read anything they write and I cannot wait until I can get my hands on Yield. With the plot cliffy that we are left with in Grind, I am chomping at the bit to get more answers and to see what actually is the big secret that has dictated so much of Macy’s life. 5 You can Trust me stars!

Review
I'm sitting here scratching my head, wondering what the hell just happened. And, no, it's got nothing to do with the story. Well, it does, but it's more in the sense of...I dont know, the characters and chemistry felt off. Anyone else get that too, or was it just me?
After the build up we were left salivating after in the first part of this serial, I was hoping for explosive, shamu slapped you in the face, leaving you feeling dirty kind of beginning in this part, but it fell seriously flat. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it, cause I did, but I felt let down and slightly bereft. Like I could see the life raft, but I couldn't get close enough to it to do anything about the fact I was drowning.
I like where the storyline is going and has gone, but I want that ball bursting passion that Sawyer Bennett is so well known for to shine through in the next part. I want her to take us on that magical ride one more time before we farewell the catalysmic chaos that is Cal and Macy. And once again I'm going to have to wait...which drives me nuts and only makes the build up in my head all the more epic, but thankfully I have faith in Sawyer Bennett and I know she can hit that high note like noone else's business. So in the mean time, I'm going to hold my breath and hope I don't asphyxiate before the next part in this serial is released!!!

Book 2 and I need MORE!
This one had all the boxes checked! Growth of characters. Check. Steamy scenes that leaving you wanting more. Check. Suspense, Mystery, Humor. Check, Check, Check. I loved every single minute of reading this tale that furthers Cal & Macy’s story.
You must read Clash before you start into Grind. I am still so curious as to the background of Macy Carrington. She’s given Cal Carson bits and pieces of her story, but just enough to graze the top of the proverbial bucket. Cal really is a saint for being patient with Macy while she grows as a person.
But at the end, when Macy gets a large curve ball thrown at her, her walls come back up and Cal can’t get through to her. He knows their mutual best friend Mac can help Macy out.
I immediately started the final book in Macy & Cal’s story because I have to know what happens next! Having the FBI involved leaves you reeling, that’s for sure!

So...I've been blogging/reviewing for a long time now. There's a possibility that I may or may not have become a bit numb to erotica and sex in books in general. Well, let me tell you something...this book knocked me out! I tore through the pages of this one. Cal and Macy are explosive. Not just the sex, which I'll get to in a few, but their chemistry is above par. I love them. I love the way they talk to each other and I love the way they see each other. They're exposing themselves to each other bit by bit and I'm loving every minute of it.
About the sex...yeah...this one was hot. I mean H--O--T!!! There is one particular scene in the book that seriously had me on fire! I think I texted my BFF immediately after and told her it was one of the hottest sex scenes I've read in a good long while. Thinking about it now I'm thinking "THIS. This is how you write a sex scene." Amen to the dirty Gods.
As much as I loved the sexy times, there is much more you learn about this two, so don't miss out on their story!

If I was going to describe Grind in one word, it would be HOT!!!! Bennett ups the steam and the relationship between Cal and Macy in Grind.
Grind picks up right where Clash leaves off. Macy needs a lawyer and Cal is the best man for the job, one problem, they both still want to have sex with each. Being Macys lawyer and sleeping with her is a conflict of interest for Cal. So they both decide to keep the sexual part of their relationship secret. As feelings grow Cal wants more from Macy but Macy is too scared to share all of her and her secrets with Cal.
Macy grew on me a little more in Grind from Clash, but I still don’t really connect with the character though. Some of the sex scenes were a little kinkier or risqué for my taste too. Grind ends with another cliffhanger, so I will definitely be reading Yield. I want to see Macy and Cal get the HEA.

3.5 Stars!
Hmm.. why was this went this way?
I pictured it was way better than that. Because, you know, the premise on the first book. I imagined it will be gut-wrenching story of Macy's secret. I didn't get that. I expected the development of the story but all I get was Not that i complained much about it, it was hawt, I loved it. but expected more than that honestly... :(
So, i will not get my hope high on the last book Yield: A Legal Affairs Story but I def will read it!!

Gelelim serinin ikinci ve fikrimce en güzel kitabına.
Bu kitabı tek kelimeyle anlat deseler HOT derdim sanırım. Neden mi, çünkü ilk kitapta başlayan o tek seferlik bedensel ilişki bu kitapta, lets go for the seconds ile devam ediyor.
Macy ve onun güven problemleri Cal için aşılması gereken bir duvar ve bu duvarı gerek yıkarak gerek üzerinden atlayarak gerçek Macy ile tanışmayı isteyen Cal, kendi sınırlarını bu kitapta zorluyor.
Bir anlaşma yapıyor bu iki karakter, Macy'nin bir tüm geceyi date olarak Cal ile geçirmesi karşılığında Cal onun bir fantezisini gerçekleştiriyor. Bunun ne olduğunu yazmayacağım tabii ama ben ilk okuduğumda beklemiyordum cidden o durumun o şekilde evrileceğini.
Onun dışında Macy için tam anlamıyla character development kitabı bu. Bu seri Cal'in ağzından yazılmış olsa da arada chapter olarak Macy'nin günlüğüne iç dökmelerini okuyoruz. Benim bir kaç favori alıntım şu şekilde, Macy yi biraz tanıyabilirsiniz belki bunlardan:

Bir anlaşma yapıyor bu iki karakter, Macy'nin bir tüm geceyi date olarak Cal ile geçirmesi karşılığında Cal onun bir fantezisini gerçekleştiriyor. Bunun ne olduğunu yazmayacağım tabii ama ben ilk okuduğumda beklemiyordum cidden o durumun o şekilde evrileceğini.
Onun dışında Macy için tam anlamıyla character development kitabı bu. Bu seri Cal'in ağzından yazılmış olsa da arada chapter olarak Macy'nin günlüğüne iç dökmelerini okuyoruz. Benim bir kaç favori alıntım şu şekilde, Macy yi biraz tanıyabilirsiniz belki bunlardan:
"I don’t do overnights.
This he should know because when we finally fucked ourselves dry in Utah, I snuck off to my own hotel room and slept alone. He never said a word about it the next day.
The next two nights, he just invited me to dinner, it being implied it would be at a restaurant somewhere. I also declined because I don’t want him to try to wine and dine me. I’m a sure bet. I’ll willingly get on my back and spread my legs for him. He doesn’t have to try to get me there, because I’ll crawl there myself and even beg him to obliterate my misery.
Anything past submerging ourselves into a haze of sex is wasted on me, but more importantly, threatens to hurt him in the long run. Cal is a man that will give his heart in any way he can, and I am not the person he wants to waste that on. This means I know that I’ll have to give him up one day. It’s a thought that already saddens me and creates a black hole of emptiness within. But I have to minimize the damage I’ll do to him, and the best way is to make sure that I give him nothing but my body.
I can never let him know that I’m a person that has the potential to be saved, because I know he’s the type that would ride in on his white horse and slay all my demons.
I don’t deserve that from him, and I can only hope that he’s content for a while with just fucking me
Love, Macy. "
💙💙
"Dear Diary,
It’s late. Or early in the morning. I guess that depends on the way you view things.
I just slipped out of bed where I’ve left a beautiful man sleeping. That’s right. There is a man sleeping in my bed.
Cal came over tonight. Brought me flowers. Took me to dinner. Talked to me like we were forever buddies. Then he made love to me.
Correction… he said it was just slow sex, but whatever. It freaked me out and delighted me all at the same time. I’m still not sure how I feel about it, because when it was all said and done, and while my heart was still tripping around, I ended up telling Cal about me. He knows I was talking about myself, and while I didn’t give any details, I shared a good chunk of what makes me… well, me.
And then after, I straddled him… kissed him… stroked him back to life, which is just not a difficult chore with this man, and then I went to town on him. I gave him the ride of his life, and if the way he shouted out while he came deep inside of me is any indication of my prowess, I rocked his world hard. He rocked my world just as hard. And this is why I needed to come and write in you right at this moment, because my brain just won’t quit spinning.
It’s trying to rationalize everything when I believe it’s my heart that’s calling the shots right now. That’s a battle I have no wish to analyze, so I figured it best to write my initial thoughts in your secret pages and just let it be purged.
After I climbed off Cal… after I let him pull me back into his arms and sort of force me into a snuggling pose (which, admittedly, was kind of nice), he said something to me just before dozing off.
He said, “You can tell me anything, Macy. I’m your friend. You will always be safe in telling me, but more importantly… you will never be judged by this man.”
He’s ripped me open. I’m flayed. My eyes are clear, and I’m scared to death.
I can’t be hurt because I’m not sure that can ever happen to a person without much of a heart left intact. That’s not the worry. I’m smart enough to know that I can only benefit from the things that Cal gives me.
I just hope I don’t destroy him when he sees just how fucked up I am.
Lost, Macy"

Grind is the second installment of Sawyer Bennett's new Legal Affairs serial. Clash left off with Macy offering herself up to Cal. He tried to say no, even did a few times, but he can't stay away. The sex is too good. Macy is too hot. But, he's representing her legally and he won't cross that line with a client. They make a deal to wait until the case is over. I love that this is really a dual POV serial. You get to see a hint inside of Macy via her diary. She's hurting and hiding something. Cal is hilarious, sexy and hot! They make a deal to keep seeing each other in secret and the sex is off the charts good. Some of the best scenes I have read in a while. Probably since my last Sawyer book! Cal knows that he could easily have feelings for her and when he finally sees past her snark and sass he sees sadness and secrets. Macy starts to let herself relax and just be with Cal. Something about him is different and she's different when she's with him. The pain is less, she's more in control. But, something threatens to end their affair before it's really begun. Will Cal push to help her? Can Macy tell him the truth and finally let someone into her heart? I can't wait to find out!!
I'm already addicted to it, and I've only had a few hits. She has the magical ability to suck me in deep to where I may never be able to claw my way out.
"You and Macy are not friends," Mac says with a snort.
I wince.
I'm so not good at this lying shit.
Nope. Not friends. That's for sure.
We're more…fuck budies.
Yeah, that's it.
"And…be forewarned…I'm a cuddler," I add on with a wink.
"Oh, God," she moans dramatically as she wrinkles her nose in distaste. "What have I gotten myself into?"

Our Blog received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review... Mar's Honest Review: There are no words to describe how blown away I am after reading this book. I thought Clash was good but damn Grind just stepped it up and blew it away. Macy's and Cal's story continues in this book but something changes, after having to work together they both start needing to see each other more. Macy is a heroine that is broken but will never show it, she doesn't like feeling like a damsel in distress and she swears she's going to hurt Cal so she keeps him at arms length. Cal on the other hand is having none of that. He's breaking her walls brick by brick and not giving up. He doesn't quite understand what he feels for her but he knows there's something there and he's not quitting on her. Furthermore we learn a bit more about Macy's big dark secret past yet we still don't know the whole story. I don't know how Sawyer does it but I am HOOKED. I need the third book to come out NOW because I'm not sure I can wait until May to see what happens next. I love Cal, he's my new book boyfriend and I am rooting for Macy 100%. I can't wait to read the final installment in this series. This is hands down my favorite series of 2015 by far!

OMG! I thought Cal and Macy were hot in Clash, but here in Grind...Wow!!!
Their story continues where Clash left off. I love how we get more into who they are. I felt so bad for Macy because she tries to stay guarded but you can see she's starting to have feelings for Cal and the same goes for him.
As always when they are together, they have such passion. There's a particular scene at a swinger's club where you will need to cool off. that was one of the hottest scenes I have ever read. Cal did things that surprised me and I loved every minute of it. ;-) Saint Cal who? :) That's when things changed for them and I couldn't wait to see what happened next.
I also loved the fact that we see some more of Matt and Mac..seeing him and Cal start to communicate again was great to see..
There's more going on and we are left with a little cliffhanger..Will Cal and Macy finally give in and see that they are good together? we'll have to wait and see with Yield, the 3rd and final book coming out soon.
I love anything Sawyer Bennett and look forward to see what she has in store for us next. if you haven't read Clash yet, I highly recommend it! start there first ;)

Anyone can write a dirty book. But not everyone can write a dirty book, with an amazing plot that leaves me both turned the hell on and shocked. Sawyer did just that, which is why she's one of my favorite authors. Cal and Macy have got to be two of the most kinky mofo's around - and I love the ever loving heck out of them. They are so different from each other, but they fit so well. This series is going on my Top 2015 list.

I'm still trying to figure out the secret. I think I have an idea but am still not sure. I wish this would have been condensed down into one book because it's just getting started before it ends for the next book.

Shel: If you read my review for the first book in this series, you'll see that I wasn't too crazy about Cal. He came off way too arrogant and self-righteous to me and the only thing we get from Macy is her journal entries, so it's hard to know how exactly how she feels in many of the moments. Good news, though, this novel gave me more to know about Cal and I definitely found myself liking him more. Court: Well, I found myself liking him more...but he still does things that make me want to hurt him. Does that make sense? I hope. I find it interesting that we aren't getting more female POV, and it is refreshing from a writing perspective, but from an OMG I have to know what secret she is keeping perspective I am dying for more from her! So...I'll just be over here dying!
Shel: When it comes to Macy he's still on the verge of a raging hard on every time he thinks of her, but he begins to make room for her in his heart too. He takes notice of her reactions, he asks questions, and starts to try to understand her more and judge her less. Let's just call it what it what it is: caring; he's beginning to care for her (even if he doesn't exactly know what to do with these emotions). The actions and risks he takes to push her out of her shell and into his life are evidence of what he's feeling and it's a welcome turn of events. Court: Right. I find their dynamic also refreshing because it isn't insta-love. Every step forward they take, and even every step back...is hard fought, and worked for. There is no punches pulled with Macy...She is who she is, and she doesn't care what you think of that. But she is also tender hearted, I think...and as we find out more about her through Cal, I find myself really rooting for her to find herself. I don't think I'm too far off base with that.
Shel: In addition to watching their relationship begin to happen beyond sex, we get the beginnings of Macy's story with her family and a hint of who she is behind those walls. If the ending of this novel, tells me anything, it tells me that we're in for some painful times with these two. Court: YES One thing we know that Sawyer does well is play our emotions exactly how she wants them, so I am nervous about this. But excited. It's very contradictory.
Shel: In this novel, we also cover some ground that I'm not sure we've seen in Sawyer's books before-- a sex club scene. As if they sex in both novels in this series wasn't steamy enough, she takes us to a sex club--and that entire thing was an interesting and unexpected part of this novel. Court: This is the part that I was nervous for Macy about Cal again. HOWEVER...he was honest, and I can't fault him that. It is a wild scene. I loved it. And anything else I say will be a spoiler! So, zipping up.
Shel: As we wait for the conclusion of this series, I can only hope that Cal and Macy continue to be what we've seen so far--they don't play games and they're honest with each other. I know these two traits will be important for what's to come and I'm really curious to see where Sawyer will take us next with these two characters. Court: I am very, very excited to find out more. And luckily for us, this series isn't spaced out too far so come back! We'll be having the gritty end here too...I am sure I will be flailing about for that too.

That cliffhanger ending has be separately waiting to discover Macy's secret past & see Macy & Cal get their HEA they both deserve!!
REVIEW:
The story:
With Cal working on Macy's legal case, any kind of romantic or sexual romance would be unethical. But that's even more reason to quickly wrap this case up so they can get back down to 'business'! I loved how the legal part of the story developed and I was actually really exited to see how it progressed. And without any bedroom activities getting in the way, Macy & Cal actually start to get to know one another and realise that they don't completely hate each other…they may even be developing a friendship!
The characters:
Cal's legal prowess is very sexy to watch, he takes charge and he's authoritative voice is awesome! We also see a different side to him, which contradicts his 'Saint-Cal' persona.
Macy is venturing into new territory with a monogamist, more-than-one-time relationship. She doesn't believe she can make it last long as she seems to see herself as unworthy and almost seems afraid of corrupting Cal. I'm guessing it has something to do with her big secret past, which I am desperate to discover!
The romance:
In this book the sexual content does venture into the, shall we say 'kinky' world, and I have to admit I generally prefer things a bit more tame. There was a scene set in a swingers club, which involves some experimental stranger m/m & f/f (not actual sex) - which was perhaps a little too adventurous for me, but probably not for others. I was impressed to see that the emotional connection between Cal & Macy has developed nicely, and I'm really starting to feel a deeper connection with both of them - which is extremely important for me.
The Writing:
I'm really enjoying the diary entries from Macy. They show her different state of mind throughout the story and as her feelings start to escalate and it's evident she's becoming more emotional about her relationship with Cal and also the 'dark secret' she's trying to hide.
FINAL WORD:
That cliffhanger ending has be separately waiting to discover Macy's secret past & see Macy & Cal get their HEA they both deserve!!
CONTENT:
Sexuality: very strong / several sex scenes, m/m, f/f, bondage etc.
Violence: mild
Language: medium / some f words
Drugs & alcohol: mild

The grinding of bodies…the slow grind of a developing relationship…the grinding of teeth to suppress pushy comments that could destroy any progress Cal has made with Macy.
All of these explanations and more define the connection that exists between Cal and Macy in Grind, the second installment of A Legal Affairs Story: Cal and Macy. Cal and Macy are sizzling together, which is all that Macy feels they can be; she can only give give him her body and explore their sexual preferences with one another but that's as far as she's willing to go due to her past and the scars that she bears, but Cal's inner knight can't help but come out, and he wants to do whatever he can to free her from her burdens, even if that means stepping outside of his comfort zone to do so.
Cal and Macy are quite the kinky couple, but they're becoming so much more than that, but I'm worried for Cal. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and Macy is a hot mess; readers aren't quite sure what in her past has forced her to feel how she does and live her life like she does, but I have an idea about what went down, but we shall see heading into their last book what truly did shape Macy’s solitude existence because her past is about to become her present issue in more than a mental capacity.
Macy is slowly exposing herself to Cal, and I love that her point of view is only told in diary entries because that's where she feels safe to share how she truly feels and exposes what her "relationship" with Cal is doing to her, but then as she starts to reveal her true self to Cal, her entries are shorter and her dialogue with Cal is more complete, more self aware and less generic.
Grind is a fantastic continuation of Cal and Macy's story. Cal seems in it for the long haul; he's slowly wearing Macy's defenses down and proving to her that they can be different - that she can give her whole self to him and he will handle her with care - at least outside of the bedroom;) Cal and Macy's limitations are definitely being pushed in this installment, which is exactly what they need in order to prove themselves to each other. I can't wait for the conclusion of their story!

And here we go again....Oh Sawyer, what are you doing to us?
Grind starts right where Clash left us, Cal is helping Macy with the lawsuit she was served with and they go to Utah to confront the people that are suing her. Cal doesn't want to mix business with pleasure so he wants to close the case before he finds himself in bed with Macy again doing what they do best.
Little by little we start seeing how close these two are getting and how Macy's walls start slowly crumbling down thanks to the support and strong presence that Cal is providing. Things start moving from an all sexual vibe to emotional territory, something that even though she doesn't say out loud, Macy needs desperately.
We see more of Macy's life through her diary entries and some of them are heartbreaking to read. It's incredible how someone who has been through some of the stuff she describes and the hints she gives can remain strong (at least on the outside.)
Cal is, well, sex on a stick. He's self assured, dominant in the bedroom and the courtroom, and caring, all in one delicious package. He knows he's walking on eggshells with Macy but he keeps going forward and showing her that one way or another he's there for the long run.
I was very pleased, turned on, and thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the swingers club. I loved how boundaries were pushed and how they were able to come to terms with their differences afterwards.
Sawyer leave us with another cliffy, but again it's only two weeks until the next one so not too long to wait for the reveal of all of Macy's secrets. Just two short weeks to see if the relationship between Macy and Cal is going to survive her secrets, insecurities, and fulfill her life with all the love she's been missing all these years.
Sawyer has the ability to take her readers to a deeper dimension and make them feel her characters all the way to their souls, Macy is a prime example of this. Her writing style is flawless, she's one of those authors that thinks outside the box and never disappoints.
Macy and Cal are my guilty pleasure, my obsession, and hands down the best series I've read this year.

Geesh…this is one juicy and addictive series.
With business out of the way, it’s all pleasure now for Cal and Macy. Still keeping their relationship (or whatever you want to call it) on the down low they continue to see each other. Although Cal seems to want more out of it, Macy is still a bit hesitant to move forward.
As much as I’m really enjoying this series, I am having a bit of a hard time with both of the characters. I feel as if Cal is being a bit too insta-love with Macy. Sure, he’s the good guy but I feel as if he is softening up to Macy way too fast. He completely stepped out of his comfort-zone in more than one way when they made a pact and I thought it was a bit too out of character for him.
Macy on the other hand has also seemed to cool of her icy exterior a bit too fast as well. She was dead-set on her bestie Mac not finding out but when she does, she didn’t freak out whatsoever. As the reader you know that there is a mountain of issues that she is hiding…and we just got to the tip of the iceberg right at the end of this one.
Don’t get me wrong, I am thoroughly enjoying this series. I just wish that both of the characters didn’t do such 180s right away. I also really enjoy that we get Macy’s POVs in the form of diary entries. I think it adds just a little bit more oomph to her mystery.

He completely stepped out of his comfort-zone in more than one way when they made a pact and I thought it was a bit too out of character for him.
Macy on the other hand has also seemed to cool of her icy exterior a bit too fast as well. She was dead-set on her bestie Mac not finding out but when she does, she didn’t freak out whatsoever. As the reader you know that there is a mountain of issues that she is hiding…and we just got to the tip of the iceberg right at the end of this one.
Don’t get me wrong, I am thoroughly enjoying this series. I just wish that both of the characters didn’t do such 180s right away. I also really enjoy that we get Macy’s POVs in the form of diary entries. I think it adds just a little bit more oomph to her mystery.

When an issue arises that pairs Will up with Macy in a professional manner, he knows taking her hard against the nearest surface is unethical, he’s just not sure he can stop himself. One thing is certain, he needs to get this case dismissed as quickly as possible so that he can take exactly what he wants.
Will starts to see that there is far more to Macy than just being a little loose and filthy rich. And the more he gets to know, the more he knows his heart is going to be put at risk. Because for a man like Will, saving the girl is the job this man was built for.
So in Grind, Sawyer was a naughty, naughty girl. HOLY SHIT. When Macy and Will make a deal, she gets public sex via a discrete sex club and Will gets her to stay the night, I never expected the story to take the turns it did. But fuck. I had to put my book down for a few minutes while I got control of my breathing. One of the hottest scenes in any of her books is in this one. I loved how dirty and adventurous Will was for that fleeting moment although I loved him for his reaction to it even more. I can’t get enough of this author’s writing.

Oh gosh I loved Clash but I love this one even more... You want to know why?! Sawyer Bennett have a magic mind!! That's all! She's one of my fav author int the whoooole world! I love her writting, the way she told her story. I can't help but feel what the heroes felt...
In this 2nd book, Cal had to help Macy with her case, so they have to see each others regulary. Cal tried to avoid her but he can't help but think about her all the time...and Macy is very attract to him... They decided to have a monogamous-sex-only relationship. Cal is a man who want to settle down, to have a family but not Macy. She doesn't do relationship... Love in general... With time we can see that their feelings changed so their relationship... In this book we can feel that Macy a hard past. We don't know exactly why but we're close... and I can't wait to read the next book to know why. This end is epic... Sawyer you blow me away!

A beast in the bedroom is definitely one way to get your attention.... Cal has definitely exceeded what I was thinking of how I thought his character would be.... not expecting this rough side. He wants more with Macy, but what is she hiding... why the rules. She has broken so many already, why can't she give more...what the hell is she hiding!?!? He knows she is hiding and hurting, no matter what demons she tries to exhaust in the bedroom. He is Saint Cal, and he wants to help slay her demons...
Sawyer is a master... Love her writing!

This one was better than the first book...things got even more heated between Cal and Macy but Macy is still hiding her past. Just as things start to work themselves out between Cal and Macy after a bumpy few days Macy's past threatens to tear them apart.
I still have a feeling I know what Macy's secrets are but I'm still not 100% sure...but I have a feeling no matter what happened in Macy's past that Cal with be there...I have no doubt that he would stay through thick and thin with her.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this ends in the next book.

Grind is the second Legal Affairs book in the three part series featuring Cal & Macy, and to say it is steaming hot is an understatement!!! Grind not only brings the heat though, but pulls you into the emotions and conflicts that the characters are facing with such depth you do not want the book to end. Sawyer Bennett blows me away and I can not wait to see what is in store for Cal & Macy in the third and final book Yield. Absolutely loved !!!!
