About CHARGED:
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Marked Men books comes the second installment in the Saints of Denver series featuring a bad girl and a by the book attorney who could be her salvation…or her ruin.
Avett Walker and Quaid Jackson’s worlds have no reason to collide. Ever. Quaid is a high powered criminal attorney as slick as he is handsome. Avett is a pink-haired troublemaker with a bad attitude and a history of picking the wrong men.
When Avett lands in a sea of hot water because of one terrible mistake, the only person who can get her out of it is the insanely sexy lawyer. The last thing on earth she wants to do is rely on the no-nonsense attorney who thinks of her as nothing more than a nuisance. He literally has her fate in his hands. Yet there is something about him that makes her want to convince him to loosen his tie and have a little fun…with her.
Quaid never takes on clients like the impulsive young woman with a Technicolor dye job. She could stand to learn a hard lesson or two, but something about her guileless hazel eyes intrigues him. Still, he’s determined to keep their relationship strictly business. But doing so is becoming more impossible with each day he spends with her.
As they work side-by-side, they’ll have to figure out a way to get along and keep their hands off each other—because the chemistry between them is beyond charged.
Michel’s Review
There is a reason why Jay Crownover is one of my all time, always go to, favorite authors. The woman can write a book that leaves me with a book hangover for days. Her unique cast of characters, their imperfect lives, and life changing experiences always pack an emotional punch.
In the latest release in The Saints of Denver series, Jay Crownover proved what a phenomenal writer she really is. She took two very unlikable characters from her previous books and changed the readers perspective about these two people. She showcased their vulnerabilities, their tribulations, and insecurities but at the same time shined a light on their positive attributes that readers have not had a chance to see. She also put two unlikely people together and made the impossible work. She built a touching relationship between two lost people. It was a very touching story of love and acceptance. Redemption was possible because they believed in each other as well as themselves.
Avett Walker has been nothing but trouble. She has stolen from the bar, stolen from her father, and has betrayed the trust of everyone she comes in contact with, including her junkie boyfriend. Her last bout of trouble was a reality check that made her aware of all the anguish and grief she has caused the ones she loved. She is facing real jail time and a very dismal future. Her only hope is her hotshot criminal lawyer, Quaid Jackson, to work his magic in the courtroom. It’s going to take her father’s retirement money and a miracle to get her off. Quaid Jackson is her miracle in a very different way. It’s not his expertise in the courtroom that gives her a second chance. It’s the man himself. He sees Avett beyond her bad girl exterior. He sees a vulnerable, compassionate young woman that lost herself long ago. He sees a woman worth loving.
Quaid Jackson is on the fast track to becoming partner in the prestigious law firm he works for. He has represented almost every low life criminal in Denver and gotten them off. His hard work and knowledge of the law is making him a very wealthy man. The next step is making partner and becoming even wealthier. His success has come at a great cost. His marriage was destroyed, he no longer talks to his family, and he has lost his conscience. When he meets Avett Walker he begins to re-evaluate his life. It’s very clear that Avett Walker is innocent of the charges against her. Her only crime has been associating with the wrong kind of people for the wrong reasons. She is the first client he has had that owns her mistakes and is taking full responsibility for her actions. As misguided as she is, he admires her integrity. He can get her out of the charges against her but he can’t fix her mistakes. This time she has gotten in with the wrong people, the kind of people even he wouldn’t represent. The only thing he can do is try to protect her from those people.
Both Quaid and Avett are in for some surprises. From self discovery to a beautiful romance, they are both finding there is more to life than they thought they deserved. Together they are going to find the kind of love that is pure and righteous. They just have to stay alive and find a way to get the bad guys off their backs. It’s going to take a miracle.
Jay Crownover outdid herself creating Avett and Quaid’s story. I honestly hated Avett before I picked up this book. My opinion of Quaid was pretty low as well. He seemed to be self serving and greedy. Once I got to know the real Quaid and Avett, I was shocked at their backstories. I could completely understand their drive and past behaviors. What shocked me the most is how much I liked these people when all their secrets were revealed. I wanted them to have their happily ever after.
Like I said… Jay Crownover can write a book! Read Charged by Jay Crownover. It is a 5+ Star book.
