ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 27, 2015

At the powerhouse law firm of Knight & Payne, winning comes first and ethics a distant second. Leary Michaels uses her female charms to daze opponents, and it’s always worked well—until now. On her most personal case yet, she finds herself going up against a defense attorney just as skilled, shameless, and seductive as she is.

Reeve Holloway has never met a woman as sure of her own sexuality, or as ruthless in wielding it, as Leary is. But he won’t be toyed with. What Leary starts, he’ll finish—in the courtroom, the bedroom, or any-damn-place he wants. The sex is uninhibited, electrifying, and absolutely against the rules. Reeve’s job is to ruin Leary’s case…even if it destroys her in the process and costs him the woman he’s come to love.

REVIEW: FRICTION is the October 2015 and latest stand alone storyline in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult LEGAL AFFAIRS erotic, romance series. This is attorney(s) Leary Michaels, and Reeve Holloway’s storyline. Reeve and Leary are opposing attorneys in a malpractice lawsuit that finds our leading couple straddling the ethical line when they find themselves in a sexual relationship- a ‘sleeping with the enemy/ forbidden love storyline. The storyline takes place in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Told from dual first person points of view (Leary and Reeve) FRICTION follows the building relationship between Leary and Reeve-a friends with benefits relationship that turns into something more. But Leary and Reeve are the opposing counsels in a civil suit against a physician who all but destroyed a woman’s life with a botched surgery that has left her scarred and damaged. While Reeve represents the doctor, Leary represents the woman at the heart of the lawsuit; no information is exchanged but when Reeve pulls a surprise witness, Leary believes, she has been betrayed by the man with whom she is falling in love.

Throughout the storyline we learn that Leary has been ‘groomed’ to be the best, by the best, and with it comes the ability and knowledge that she will use everything at her disposal, including her sexuality and assets as a means to an end. But her blatant attempts to upset Reeve are matched by a man who isn’t willing to take no for an answer. The relationship is one of immediate attraction between two intelligent and powerful attorneys-the $ex scenes are erotic, provocative and seductive Leary is a strong, alpha female who goes for what she wants. The chemistry and sexual energy is palpable. Nowhere is off limits for our leading couple including the office, the boardroom and a men’s private washroom.

For cohesion between the storylines we get a quick glimpse via mention at Matt and McKayla (Legal Affairs: Series 1), and Cal and Macy-friends of Reeve who is a transplanted attorney from New York. We are introduced to Leary’s boss and mentor Midge Payne: Leary’s best friend and sometime friend-with-benefits Ford, who is also good friends with Reeve Holloway; as well as the woman Leary represents Jenna LaPietra, and the physician at the center of the civil suit Dr. Summerland. Oh, and we can’t forget about Dr. Chico Taco-Reeve’s oversized Great Dane !!

FRICTION is a fantastic addition to Sawyer Bennett’s Legal Affairs series. The premise is engaging, entertaining and suggestive: the characters are addicting, emotional and intense: the romance is explosive and forbidden with plenty of flirty, sexual energy. The happily ever after finds our couple together both in and out of the boardroom, bedroom and the law firm.
