Description
Theo Angelis definitely puts the "hot" in "hotshot lawyer."Or at least, that's attorney Sadie Oliver's opinion. Even asimple handshake has her weak in the knees. If only therewas time to explore the barely contained chemistrysimmering between them.... But there isn't. Because Sadie desperately needs Theo'shelp. Her brother lies in hospital facing a murder charge,and their sister is missing. And even Sadie herself is beingfollowed by unsavory looking characters. But Sadie's not about to take show more it lying down (unless Theoasks, of course). Her solution? To play an active role in thecase, disguised as a law student. To anyone looking, Sadiewill simply be another of Theo's male interns. But the heatin Theo's eyes never lets her forget she's all woman.... show lessTags

The Defender
3.5 Stars
Defense Attorney Theo Angelis is drawn into the investigation of a murder/kidnapping when Sophie Oliver, one of the prime suspects in the case, comes to him for help.
Unlike the first two books in the trilogy, Theo and Sophie are not complete strangers. Although their few prior interactions hinted at a strong attraction, the depth of their connection only materializes fully once they begin working together. Sophie's shy yet determined demeanor makes her a particularly endearing heroine, and Theo's attempts to cope with his new, and perhaps even unwelcome, feelings for her are very entertaining.
The mystery that has been the focus of the trilogy is finally resolved, but the recaps of the events from the previous show more books are rather boring as there is nothing new. Moreover, the identity of the villain is quite obvious from the get-go.
In sum, despite the abovementioned issue with the plot, this is a fun and sexy trilogy. I will definitely be reading more of Cara Summers' books. In fact, the two remaining Angelis offspring, Philly and Dino, have their own books. show less

Well it's a different twist to dress the main character as a boy for part of the story but the plot is quite weak. The villain is only short of twirling an obvious moustache.
Sadie finds herself in trouble when her sister's marriage is interrupted by a fire-fight. She turns to Theo Angelis for help and the two of them find lust and love along the way.
It's not a bad story but the plot did appear to lurch occasionally.
