Diary Entry #0040: ARC Review—SUSTAINED by Emma Chase


Title: Sustained (The Legal Briefs, #2)
by Emma Chase
Date of Publication: August 24th 2015
Genre: New Adult | Contemporary Romance


A knight in tarnished armor is still a knight. 
When you’re a defense attorney in Washington, DC, you see firsthand how hard life can be, and that sometimes the only way to survive is to be harder. I, Jake Becker, have a reputation for being cold, callous, and intimidating—and that suits me just fine. In fact, it’s necessary when I’m breaking down a witness on the stand. 
Complications don’t work for me—I’m a “need-to-know” type of man. If you’re my client, tell me the basic facts. If you’re my date, stick to what will turn you on. I’m not a therapist or Prince Charming—and I don’t pretend to be. 
Then Chelsea McQuaid and her six orphaned nieces and nephews came along and complicated the ever-loving hell out of my life. Now I'm going to Mommy & Me classes, One Direction concerts, the emergency room, and arguing cases in the principal's office.
Chelsea’s too sweet, too innocent, and too gorgeous for her own good. She tries to be tough, but she’s not. She needs someone to help her, defend her…and the kids. 
And that — that, I know how to do.

Emma Chase has done with Sustained what she does best—made me laugh and at the same time, shed a tear for her characters.
