4.5stars--DIRTY LAWYER is the fourth instalment in Lisa Renee JonesÂ’ contemporary, adult SCANDALOUS BILLIONAIRES erotic, romantic suspense series. This is attorney Reese Summer, and attorney/writer/columnist Cat MaxwellÂ’s story line. DIRTY LAWYER is interconnected with the authorÂ’s Walker Security and the Tall, Dark and Deadly series. Several characters cross over.

==> NOTE: DIRTY LAWYER was originally released as a two-part duet: DIRTY RICH ONE NIGHT STAND and DIRTY RICH ONE NIGHT STAND-2 YEARS LATER.<==


Told in two parts from dual first person perspectives (Cat and Reese) DIRTY LAWYER follows the building relationship between attorney Reese Summer, and writer Cat Maxwell. Cat’s latest assignment is to cover the ‘trial of the century’- coverage that will earn Cat another book deal but a deal she refuses to due to the terms presented. Enter defense attorney Reese Summer, the man with whom Cat will fall in love, and the man who wants more than a ‘dirty rich one night stand’. What ensues is the building relationship between Cat and Reese, and the potential fall out when several conflicts of interest cross over to threaten our couple’s happily ever after.

Cat is a former attorney; a reluctant attorney whose interest now lies in covering and reporting about some of the sensational trials. Attracted to defense attorney Reese Summer, their back and forth, acrimonious relationship hides a continuous simmer of palpable sexual energy and attraction. Burned in the past, Cat doesnÂ’t do relationships and isnÂ’t the one-night stand kinda girl but she is willing to push her emotions aside for a chance with the dark and brooding Reese Summer- a chance that could threaten more than her heart.

The relationship between Reese and Cat is one of immediate attraction but an attraction that is caught between the heart and the head. Cat knows to get involved with Reese Summer could quite possibly be a conflict of interest but Reese is willing to risk it all for a chance with our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are intimate, intense and seductive.

DIRTY LAWYER is a sexy, sassy and sultry story line; an erotic tale as one couple must navigate a world that now threatens their relationship, and potentially changes the dynamics of their continuing love. We welcome the return of CatÂ’s brothers and fellow attorneys Reid and Gabe Maxwell, as well as Royce and Lauren Walker, and Walker Brother security specialist Savage. We are introduced to defendant Dana Warren, and her boyfriend Reginald Hicks, as well as prosecuting attorney Milton Wicker. The requisite evil has many faces.

DIRTY LAWYER is an intriguing, character driven story. The premise is impassioned, the ; the romance is provocative; characters are desperate yet spirited

This is a rerelease of a duet, Dirty Rich One Night Stand, and Dirty Rich One Night Stand Two Years Later. I received a review copy and enjoyed it, but it taught me to be careful of what you wish for. All the times I thought a duet should just be combined into one book—well it makes for a nearly 600 page book which isn’t a one night read.

This is also my first read from this author, but the book has tie ins to other series—some characters seem to have more story than we get in this book. I think I may be getting Savage’s books after I finish with the review books I have ;). The rerelease puts this as book 4 in a series. I haven’t read the first three, but the characters in the blurbs on Amazon don’t seem to show up in this book. It’s definitely ok as a stand-alone. Looking ahead, the 5th and 6th books do involve many of the same characters, so I’m reading them next.

So, all that being said, this isnÂ’t as much of a romance as it is a drama with a lot of spicy scenes. IÂ’m not sure the title is right yet, because the lawyer here, Reese, isnÂ’t a dirty lawyer. Maybe dirty refers to all the sex, which would be fair. And although the characters arenÂ’t hurting at all, this is not a billionaire romance. This is a story of lawyers. Reese, the mmc, is a criminal defense attorney who has never lost a case and never takes on a client who is guilty. Cat, the fmc, is a Harvard law grad who gave up practicing to become a true crime columnist and author. So if you legal drama, youÂ’ll love this book, because each half centers on a murder case that Reese is defending and Cat is reporting on.

Our main characters have a fair amount of family drama, and some baggage, but overall are a pretty darn solid couple throughout both halves of the book. I d Cat and Reese, and enjoyed the drama of their court cases enough that it wasnÂ’t a hardship to read such a long book. The legal drama wasnÂ’t too mysterious, but that was ok for me. Basically itÂ’s two smart characters who fit well together and have a lot of sex. Works for me! Jennifer821

Dirty Rich One Night Stand is a bit of a misleading title. Sure, Reese is rich but he's not nearly the dirty boy the title suggests. And, Cat is rich but she's not nearly the dirty girl the title suggests. So what is the story about? Cat is an author who is writing a column about a high profile trial. Reese is the attorney for the accused in the high profile trial. Their chemistry is instant. Their relationship grows quickly and naturally. They have to keep their budding romance under wraps because they don't want it to become part of the case that the press talks about. Oh and some other stuff happens. (Disclaimer: I am a fan of Lisa Renee Jones' books. I'm a bit of a fan girl.)

Cat is an interesting, multidimensional character. She is a licensed attorney and successful author. She has broken from her family to live her own life. I really how smart and self sufficient she is. I also enjoyed reading her journey from feeling alone to learning that she deserved her family's love and support. Reese is a high power attorney who doesn't lose cases. He is immediately drawn to Cat. His family has issues that he avoids by keeping his family at a distance. He has a journey to learn to open up to Cat and dealing with his family. I d that the Walker crew showed up in this book. I the mystery of who done it. I really d the fact that the characters actually had logical and normal thoughts about their relationship. It was refreshing!

I didn't totally understand the stress at the end of the story. It felt a little rushed or added on. I wanted to know more about Cat's brothers and Reese's siblings. I know this was a stand alone story but I was left wanting more!

I would recommend this story to anyone that is already a fan of Lisa Renee Jones' work. This is a contemporary romance written in alternating first person POV. If you straight forward romance with a little legal action, this story is for you!.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Suzana597 20
