Chelsea Tanner’s career as a defence lawyer is rapidly climbing. Her strong ethics and sharp wit in the courtroom has paved her way into becoming an associate of Sydney’s top law firm. She hasn’t lost a single case in her short but successful career. Law is her life, living and breathing it leaves little time for anything more. When a member from the infamous Legano Family is up on a murder charge, Chelsea finds more.
Pacer Fratelli is dark, hard and completely consumed by his new defence lawyer. Chelsea and Pacer’s worlds couldn’t be further apart but he wants more … and what Pacer wants, Pacer gets.
When bad love feels so good, just how far would you go to defend it?
Defending Pacer 4.5 stars Chelsea Tanner’s is about to take on the biggest case of her life. She remains unblemished in the courtroom; no one can beat her. Her defense is always spot on allowing her clients to walk away from the charges. Its in her blood. Her father raised her within the law while holding prestigious seat as a judge. Not riding by on his name she has clawed her way to the top in one of the most powerful law firms in Sydney. She has briefly looked over Pacer Fratelli’s case. Accused of not only murdering Sean Colllins, son of a wealthy mining magnate, the crime scene photos showed a massacre. His dismembered body were some of the most graphic photos she has ever seen. Known member of the Legano family, Pacer Fratelli is questioning what kind of hot shot lawyer is now 20 minutes late. When Hangcock and Sons regretted to inform the Legano’s they would no longer represent them his family assured him the new hire was the best. The sweet “honeybee” sitting in front of him in her boring brown suit and her boring up-do bun on her head has Pacer wondering all kinds of things until the little spitfire sitting in front of him all but admonishes him back in his place. If Miss Tanner thinks he is a man to give up so easily; she is sadly mistaken. He knows the charges wont stick; they never do but nothing will please Pacer more than to see how good Chelsea Tanner is. Jackson Reed is the prosecution. He will put Pacer Fratelli away if it’s the only thing he does in his career. He will put him behind bars if it’s the last thing he ever does on this earth. This story is absolutely fantastic! The Legano/Fratelli family is a true Italian gem of a group which I enjoyed getting to know. I loved the interaction between them. I don’t want to say too much about the plot but I can tell you one of the reasons I loved this book was because the female lead is strong, brilliant and holds her own. Chelsea is driven to make some choices that she does not want to make but being who she is raised by whom she was doing what she had to was never not in the cards. There are some heavy plot twists in Defending Pacer. Its not a heavy read but there is just enough there to know what kind of man Pacer is. I loved him! Tatted up and working his dang hot but … yup! His leather gloves become a signature piece in the story line. WOWZA! Click this one up ladies. Quick easy read that is smoking good. No cliffhangers! YAY! I will be waiting for the next release Miss T. J.!
