Excerpt
Those damn leather gloves, I blame them.
I run my fingers through my hair to blow out at the wet strands that have stuck around my lips, and I grab my glass and gulp the remainder of my week old wine, before flopping back against the couch to collect my thoughts.
Seriously though, what the hell was that?
Pacer Fratelli is my client! A dangerous client. A client who I know is a murderer.
I can’t feel like this, but I do.
His smile flashes before my eyes again. Oh my god, would you just leave me the hell alone? I punch my fists down onto the chair, either side of me.
I strip down as I head to the shower, peeling off each layer like I’m shedding skin and discarding the clothes on the floor with an angry slap. My body is still abuzz with my post-assault, but at the same time, I am pissed off. These thoughts have no place in my mind. They can fuck right off.
A after a good talking to myself in the stream of the cold shower, I throw on my old university sweats, ready to see my night out in front of the coffee table … and all things Pacer Fratelli.
Dangerously hot, Pacer Fratelli.
Gah!

REVIEW:
☆☆☆3.5 Hooked Stars☆☆☆
Pacer is accused of murder. And he did it. He even told that to his hotshot lawyer. But she's determined to get him off. Maybe in more ways then one. But they have to get over the families hatred of each other.
I wanted to like this book. I really did. And I liked all the elements of it. Pacer is funny in a twisted way, Chelsea is smart and determined and even the secondary cast is intriguing. Even the story is there. But after about 50% it felt rushed, like everything happened off page and you just heard about it. And the ending was perdictable. If you're a fan of star crossed lover fan then this will be the book for you. Sadly I just wasn't a huge fan.
