This was a perfectly hilarious, fun read for a quiet Saturday at home. I flew through this one and highly enjoyed myself. I really like this cast of characters (minus Stanton-the-asshole, but he's better as a minor character). Brent and Kennedy were really interesting together and I loved all their funny banter. I think I still loved the second book best, but this one was very enjoyable.
This was fine. I mean I enjoyed parts of it but nothing stood out or like really did much for me. There was very little tension in the last quarter to make me want to keep reading or know what is happening.
4.5 Stars!
Another fabulous read by Emma Chase, with all the steam, humor, and feels that we've come to expect with her work.

Quick and dirty (lol). I liked both characters and read it in one sitting. I felt like her trust issues could’ve been a bit more explored in the third act and Brent’s switch from playboy to in love with Kennedy, while making some sense, felt a bit abrupt. I also wish there had been some resolution with Waldo after he stormed out. Emma Chase is a fave author and I liked that this was from the male POV.
Better than the first book, but not as good as the second one. Brent is one of my favorite characters in the series though.

I should've written this review weeks ago. I just couldn't bring myself to say goodbye to this series and these characters quite yet. In fact, when I picked up my iPad and started looking at my highlights to find my favorite quotes, I ended up rereading the book from cover to cover again. I couldn't stop once I so much as glanced at any of the words.
Much like its predecessor Sustained, this book was delightful. It was emotional, sexy and sweet - a wonderful second chance romance. I adored Brent and Kennedy. I was a Brent fan from seeing him in the background earlier in the series, but I couldn't wait to see him in the spotlight. Moreover, I couldn't wait to meet the lady that made him realize there was more to life than a hookup. (Or series of hookups.) I'm a sucker for a second chance romance and this is one of my favorites I've ever read. Brent might've gotten around in the past, but he was absolutely all in when Kennedy came back into his life. No other woman could even begin to hold a candle to her.
Kennedy was a fabulous leading lady. She was tough without being hard and didn't take crap from anyone. She'd done enough of that in the past when she was bullied because of her friendship with Brent. And, let me tell you, some of those scenes were so freaking hard to read. I hate that she went through what she did and I was angry at Brent for not stopping it... even if he didn't know the extent of what she was dealing with. I have no doubt he would've tried his best to put a stop to it if he had been aware. He was a dumb kid in a lot of ways back then, but he still had a good heart underneath and Kennedy had been special to him.
Brent and Kennedy gave me major butterflies. They were just too perfect together. Things might've been a bit tense between them when they were first reunited, but it didn't take long for that to melt away and for them to pick up where they left off. Sure, there were some issues that needed addressed but all in all, this one was pretty low on drama. It was big on sexy and swoony, however. Brent had a dirty mouth and I loved it. Kennedy gave as good as she got in and out of the bedroom, so it made for a fun match. Plus there's just something special about childhood friends being reunited and realizing they're anything but just friends.
I laughed and cried with this book. There were some fantastic scenes featuring Stanton, Sofia, Jake, Chelsea and their family. I loved how Kennedy fit in the picture with them, despite being on the other side of the courtroom. I am so sad that this series has come to a close, but I have to give a shout out to Emma for an AMAZING (second) epilogue. (Ok, the first one was pretty amazing, too.) But the second one? It was everything. I get a little teary eyed even thinking about it.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.

FAVORITE QUOTES:
This beautiful, sweet, strong girl in my arms. She got to me forever ago – under my skin, into my heart – and she's been there, waiting, ever since. And now she's here – in my bed – her skin flushed with excitement, her fingers gripping my shoulders, her teeth nibbling at my lips in a way that makes me almost lose my fucking mind.
I want to figure her out, to learn every part of her – the soft curves, the sharp edges, the dark, shadowy corners she tries so hard to hide. I want to break down her doors, climb her ivory tower. I want to slay all her fucking dragons.
“Brent...” She gasps, fingers running through my hair. “This is real. Tell me this is real.”
My eyes jerk up to hers and I cup her jaw in one hand. “It’s real. This is so real I can’t stop shaking.”
"And what if... what if the reason I’ve never let myself fall in love with a woman is because I didn’t have anything to give? Because I’d already given my heart to her when we were seventeen years old? And all these years... I’ve just been waiting for her to come back to me with it.”
By far, this is my favorite book that Emma Chase has written. Although, I'm pretty sure I say that with all her books. Also, I think I loved this book so much because of all the comic book references Brent made. And that made me love him even more!
There's more drama in this installment but it's still a fun/light read and worth every penny. ♥

Title: Appealed
Series: The Legal Briefs, #3
Author: Emma Chase
Release date: 19th January, 2016
Cliffhanger: No
HEA:
Spoiler
Yes
There is no stopping Emma Chase when it comes to The Legal Briefs Series. It's far and away one of my favourite & consistent when it comes to delivering the feel-good-goods. Having cornered the market on the male POV, It's blend of unique voice and laugh out loud moments, maintain my theory that Emma has found a way to literarily spoil us.
Every book further convinces me of her absolute brilliance, not to mention ability to throughly entertain her readers. If you haven't given them a go yet, you really must. Rather than appeal, here's my argument to why:
Abundance of laugh out loud moments.
Penchant for panty melting straight talking Heroes.
Persistently engaging stories.
Endearing Heroines with sharp as a tack wit.
Anticipation. Emma will get you every time.
Love, enemies to lovers relationships.
Evolution of the Playboy to Man.
Decidedly one of the best reading decisions you'll make.
