There was a time when Jake Becker had it all together. He was controlled, driven, ruthless—in and out of the courtroom.
Then, six irresistible orphans and their heartbreakingly beautiful aunt crashed into his perfectly ordered life. They changed everything. They changed him. Now he’s a husband, an upstanding member of society, a father figure—a family man. And he’s pretty damn good at it.
Sure, he has to referee sibling smackdowns, re-learn algebra, ensure his clients stay of jail, and keep his wife happy—but it finally feels like he’s got it together again....
So, of course something has to screw it all up. It’s huge. Life-changing. Kind of terrifying.
And it will be the most amazing, perfect thing he’ll ever do.
I cup her beautiful face in both hands. “I didn’t plan on you, Chelsea. Or them. And for as long as I live, you will be the best thing that ever happened to me.”
Jake with the children is epic!!!
Chelsea’s voice is low, so the kids can’t hear. “There will never be anything sexier than watching you – with your muscles and tattoos – braiding a six-year-old’s hair.”
I shrug. “My braids are awesome.”
And Rosaleen gets fed up. “It’s when the man and woman fall in love and the man puts his penis in the woman’s vagina and nine months later a baby comes out of it.”
Regan looks at me like I’m a monster.
“You put your penis in Mommy’s vagina?”
Christ, this went downhill quick.
“Why would you do that?”
Jake was all male and I adored how he tried to be the best he could for Chelsea and the kids:
“I’m not good with flowery, romantic kind of words. But she makes me wish I was. Because she’s more than my wife- more than the owner of the p*ssy that has me so very whipped. She’s my love, my home, the solace to my soul, the keeper of my heart, the center of my entire f*cking world.
The Jake truly alpha male moment in this book was so well done!!!! It was so realistic and the reader will understand each parties point during the disagreement.
In the end, Jake feels he is defending his family and Chelsea just wants to be heard; something I think many of those in relationships will completely relate to:
Ms. Chase thank you for the whole Legal Briefs family! I so hope someday we get to see the children’s happy play out!
