Defender

by Kira Ward

I'm a beast in the courtroom and an animal in bed.
I spend all day telling my clients to keep their mouth shut so I can get them off whatever ******* charge they've managed themselves caught up into. I'm one of the meanest attorneys in NYC, and women can smell money and confidence from a mile away. I win cases, and I can get any girl. Except for one... and she's making my life a living hell.

My stepbrother hates me.
I've screwed up again, and here he comes to bail me out. Crawford. Sexy, powerful Crawford. He's barely acknowledged my existence since what happened between us years ago. Hell, the only reason he's coming to help me now is because Mom begged him to. I know I shouldn't have drank that night. I shouldn't have got into that car. My life is in Crawford's hands, but I'd love nothing more than my body to be in those hands as well.

It was a quick read and an enjoyable book. The story starts out with an accident where Crawford comes to help his step-sister out of but there's a twist. This wasn't one of those step brother romances that was an awkward situation but quite understood why the dad felt the way he did.

Misunderstanding

Umm I really disliked Crawford because of him being so judgemental. He was quick to react never one have Eden any consideration. Eden is a little naive when it comes to people. I liked that about her this was mostly about miscommunication and hurt feelings. Overall they were cute together and I really enjoyed Crawford's tenacity.

2 1/2 stars. It has a good plot but I sometimes felt the chemistry between the two main characters was missing.

Good book!

Crawford and Eden seasonings who loved each other for years brought back together after a misunderstanding years ago. I liked that Eden wasn't perfect, quite frequently getting into trouble. Crawford had giving up on fixing her problems but couldn't stop trying to help her. Determined to straighten out her latest mess brought back a lot of unresolved issues and feelings. Did they work them out? Read it to find out you won't be disappointed.

I love Kira Ward's books. Keep em coming!

DNF @ 30%.

The h is a massive screwup who is going no where with her life. Whenever she gets into trouble her family helps her out of it. The H is a big time lawyer who doesn't like the h but agrees to help her when she gets into an accident while driving drunk. There was no romance in this book. The h is a mess because she is arrested and the H reluctantly has to guide her through what to expect.

OMG I loved this book.I recieved this book as an ARC and Kara Ward done a great job writing it. I started reading and didn't want to put it down until I was finished reading it. I felt like I was right there with the characters. You never know what was going to happen next and they will keep you on your toes (so to speak). I must admit that I even cried during part of it and there were times when I would just start to laugh out loud. It is a must read.

I though this story was awesome. Being a step-brother romance it can be a bit awkward, but this is one of the best that I have read. The Hero in this story is a brilliant lawyer, and he defends his step-sister, even thou they have been estranged for almost a decade. This is a great read, and I highly recommend it.

4 stars. Loved this one. I always enjoy Kira Ward's books and this was one of my favourites. Eden and Crawford are stepsiblings but have always felt an attraction between them. The characters were once again well written and the reaction of those around them believable. Recommended read for those who like stepbrother romances

[Kerry Richardson · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very enjoyable book with a great story and strong characters. I'd definitely read this author again and would recommend this book. My only complaint is the grammatical errors, they let it down somewhat.

[Yamilé Andreasson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great fast read! From start to finish this was great. Loved both characters and the story-line. The author did a wonderful work on delivering the story. I will definitively read more books written by her.

[Bonnie · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is the first step-brother books I've read and decided to give it a try based on the 5-star reviews on Amazon. If you remove the step-sibling factor, it is a pretty decent romance. Add in the step-sibling factor, it becomes just creepy.
