I read this series for this first time when I had absolutely no business reading it. And when I stumbled across the author again, I knew I just had to reread it. And it was just as good as it was back when I read it in 2014, maybe even better now that I’m a full time smut connoisseur.

Intense read
This is one intensely steamy read. The characters capture your attention and take you on a wild and steamy, emotional romp. While this may be described as an erotic romance...it’s so much more. The author has seriously written a well plotted story with characters that tug at your heartstrings, make you want to scream, cry and laugh in equal turns.

Audiobook Re-read
The Reasonable Doubt series is one of my all-time favorite erotica series. There’s always a bit of trepidation when I re-read a favorite book – a concern that it won’t be as good as I remember. I had the perfect excuse to re-read Reasonable Doubt when I was gifted an audiobook copy, but I was even more hesitant. I had a specific voice in mind for Andrew, and much like movie adaptations of books, I was worried it wouldn’t live up to my expectations. My fears were completely unfounded because I loved the book even more the second time around, and the voice actors are spot on.
“My cock has an appetite.” I'll be honest. The first sentence in the book description had me rolling my eyes. I’m glad I didn’t let that put me off though because this series is incredibly enjoyable and very addictive.
Andrew is a foul-mouthed, misogynistic lawyer with a rapier wit. He is also a serial online dater who has zero tolerance for lying and no interest in relationships beyond one night stands. At times I really wanted to hate Andrew and the next moment he’d say something that had me laughing out loud.
Aubrey is a sheltered 22 year-old undergrad student double majoring in pre-law and ballet. OK, so it’s rather unrealistic but just go with it. While pretending to be a certified lawyer, Aubrey meets Andrew through an exclusive online social networking site for lawyers. He’s trolling for hook-ups, and unbeknownst to him, she’s looking for help with her homework. The two develop a flirtatious friendship through email exchanges that are filled with sexual innuendo and witty banter.
I prefer strong heroines so I found Aubrey to be a frustrating character at times. Although very secure in most aspects of her life, she frequently allows Andrew to treat her like a doormat. It helped me appreciate her character growth, however, once she finally starts to develop a backbone.
Andrew, Andrew, Andrew. For me, the story is all about Andrew. It’s a love/hate relationship with a complicated character, and it really does take all three books before you fully understand his motivations. There is no question that Andrew is a master of dirty talking, and the sex? Holy schnikes! Thermonuclear hot!
There are so many nice touches I enjoyed. Each chapter begins with legal terminology that parallels the state of Andrew and Aubrey’s relationship – e.g., “Emotional Distress,” “Perjury,” “Cross Examination,” and “Impasse.” The hilarious email exchanges are priceless. I love how Whitney Gracia Williams manages to create sexual tension and chemistry between the characters through their emails alone.
In terms of the audiobook, Sebastian York does a fantastic job of narrating Andrew’s part. His voice is deep, resonant, and sexy – exactly how I imagined Andrew would sound. Just wait until you hear this man speaking deliciously filthy words in your ears. You’d better have several pairs of clean panties on hand. Erin Mallon delivers an equally strong performance voicing Aubrey. I give her credit for trying to imitate Andrew’s deep baritone voice, even if it comes across a little cartoonish sometimes. Both narrators are incredibly expressive and their performances truly bring the characters to life.
Reasonable Doubt is a seductive treat that is funny and extremely entertaining from beginning to end. If you’re a fan of erotica, I can’t recommend it highly enough. The boxed set includes a very satisfying extended epilogue as well deleted scenes.

“You’re a fucking liar, Ava. You’ve fucked so many people behind my back that I’ve lost count. As far as I’m concerned, you deserve to rot behind bars. Maybe then your overworked pussy will get a much needed break. Since you’ll only be around women for the next fifteen years, I suggest you give pussy a try. The taste is quite impeccable.”If you like audacious, dirty-talking anti-heroes then you’re going to love Andrew.

Subject: Re: Desert DickThings become problematic when Aubrey goes to interview for an internship at Andrew’s firm, and he discovers Audrey’s deception. Sparks fly, boundaries are tested, and double-standards are explored.
Thank you for your concerns about my dick. Although, seeing as though you’ve NEVER discussed getting laid, I think having Cobweb Pussy is a far more serious illness. Thank you for telling me that my dick is in your prayers. I’d prefer if it was in your mouth.
