Seducing the Defendant (The Conflict of Interest Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 70 ratings

New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando returns to her latest, steamy Conflict of Interest series with this electrifying tale of murder, justice, and intense attraction.

Jaxon Bentley is a hardnosed criminal lawyer whose entire life revolves around his work. He’s been asked to represent Scarlett Reyes, a woman accused of murdering her police officer husband in cold blood. All the evidence points to Scarlett being guilty and Jaxon is sure it’s an open and shut case.

But when he meets his client, he can’t help but feel that she’s innocent and that there’s more to the story than meets the eye. With a bit of digging, he uncovers a connection to the notorious Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club and realizes that Scarlett’s case is a complicated and difficult one. It certainly doesn’t help that the two share an immediate and passionate attraction. Will Jaxon be able to prove Scarlett’s innocence or are the two doomed to fail both in court and as a couple?

    Fans of Chantal Fernando's Wind Dragons MC series with love Seducing the Defendant the second book in Chantal's Conflict of Interest series.
    This book is everything that I have come to love and expect from Chantal's work: captivating from beginning to end, extremely well written and fast paced so that the pages fly by and you lose track of time, compelling characters that I can easily identify and emotionally connect with and a great plot full of romance, mystery and suspense with a light touch of angst and Wind Dragons.
    That's right!
    The Wind Dragons MC make an appearance in this book and to be perfectly honest whilst I was reading I felt as though I could as easily have been reading a book set in the Wind Dragons MC series.
    Seducing the Defendant introduces readers to criminal defense lawyer Jaxon Bentley of Bentley and Channing Law Firm and Scarlett Reyes.
    The two first meet when Scarlett hires Jaxon to represent and defend her from the crime that she's been accused of committing.
    The two are drawn to one another from their very first meeting but are hesitant to admit their attraction and growing connection. When the pair finally do come together it's both beautiful, sweet and sinfully sexy.
    Jaxon Bentley is every bit as much of an alpha as the men of the Wind Dragons MC and Scarlett Reyes is beautful, kind and accepting.
    I highly recommend this book, even with the unexpected gut punch it delivered that had me ugly crying into my pillow.

    An arc of this book was generously provided to me by Gallery, Threshold Pocket Books via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

    Law and order meets MC madness in this second installment of the Conflict of Interest series.

    We met Jaxon Bentley in the first book in the series, Breaching the Contract, but now we have him in all his heartbreaking, beautiful goodness.

    And when he meets alleged murdered Scarlett, well things take a turn for the better in his life.

    Whooo, the sexual tension between them if off the charts, and you can just feel the push/pull between them. Even though they are lawyer and client, you just need them to get together.

    I won't lie though, I did have trouble connecting with Scarlett. I just didn't really get over the coldness of her character that we met at the beginning of the story. But that could just be me.

    There are not enough words to explain my excitement when the Wind Dragons MC entered the story. I have missed them since their story ended, and it was great to get a few little glimpses into the club.

    I really enjoyed Seducing The Defendant. I read it in one night, and now am impatient for what Ms Fernando brings us next.

    I enjoyed this story so much!!!

    OMG I balled in this one. There was so much to feel, so much to love. I could not put this down from the minute I started to the end.

    Jaxon is strong and sexy and intelligent and Scarlett is slightly damaged yet grows so much over the course of the story I loved watching her strength grow.

    The attraction is both believable and super fueled. I absolutely loved their connection.

    The sexy scenes are off the chart with the spicy deliciousness chemistry between Jaxon and Scarlett.

    Did anyone else squeal when they read Faye's name yeah well I did!!!
    I love love loved that the Wind Dragons cameoed, they didn't take over the story though they blended well with all characters having an important purpose.

    The action packed scenes just blow me away I'm there I'm the moment and BAM!!!! Heart ripped out and the tears just falling.

    All up an incredible addition to the Conflict of Interest series and I cannot wait to continue on with the rest of the oh so lovable characters. Its Chaos and Love and Heartache and Brilliant writing all rolled into one.

    I really loved this one. Jaxson and Scarlett's story is fun, flirty, and sexy with a bit of legalese thrown in. It's very well written and the whole cast of characters are great. There should be lots of great stories ahead. I definitely recommend this one.
