Join Jake & Chelsea, Stanton & Sofia, Brent & Kennedy as they navigate the hilarious and heartwarming hurdles of love, life and the law in this final addition to the Legal Briefs Series.
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.
Review
I was fairly certain after Sustained that Jake Becker was my favorite Emma Chase hero, and Sidebarred absolutely affirms my decision. Jake is all kinds of wonderful in his and Chelsea’s follow-up novella. Sidebarred takes place a couple years after the conclusion of Sustained, and everything I adored about Jake’s interaction with Chelsea’s nieces and nephews is even better now that the kids are older, and even though the pain has not completely faded from the loss of their parents, they can verbalize exactly what Jake and Chelsea have done for them. I’m sure their instant family dynamics took some getting used to, but Jake was definitely up for the task and then some and his ability to make every single one of the kids and Chelsea feel how much he loves them is why Jake Becker is such a fantastic alpha male!
There are so many heartwarming moments in Sidebarred between Jake and “his kids” as well as Jake and Chelsea. I love how Chase illustrates how Jake and Chelsea work to keep their passion alive and sneak in alone time even if it’s early in the morning.
Fear of the past repeating itself is a real concern for some of the kids, but Jake knows exactly how to calm their anxiety and prove to them that he won’t let anything happen to any of them and even though he can’t exactly promise, he vows to work his ass off to ensure that no more loss occurs.
Each book in Emma Chase’s Legal Briefs series is full of laughter, steam, a bit of drama, and a whole lot of love and friendship, and Sidebarred carries on those qualities and gives readers insight into a couples and family’s happily ever after and boy do they all deserve it!
