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.

EXCERPT

Quaid

I narrowed my eyes at her, shifted my weight from foot to foot as her proximity and the charge of her pushing and me pulling thickened both my blood and my cock. I was an attorney for a reason. I never met an argument I didn’t like or that I didn’t feel compelled to win. The way Avett always seemed to challenge me was as much of a turn-on as her curvy little body was.

“Where is your father?” I lifted my eyes from her penetrating gaze in search of the big biker. I didn’t need to try and explain a black eye or a broken arm to Orsen on top of why I suddenly had no interest in searching out a pretty piece of ass to spend time with.

“He’s waiting at the truck. I told him I had some questions I needed to ask you about what happens next.”

“Do you?”

“Do I what?” She was getting increasingly annoyed and I wanted to groan at the way it made her cheeks flush and her breathing hitch. I bet she looked the same way when she was about to come.

Shit. That was not the direction I needed my thoughts to go, but now that they were there I didn’t have a chance in hell of wrangling them back into the safe zone.

“Do you have questions about what happens next?” My voice didn’t sound like my own and I knew there was no hiding the wayward direction of my thoughts as they played out in my gaze as I watched her carefully.

Slowly, her head shook back and forth, dislodging the bun at the back of her head. Pink strands of hair floated around her face, curling over her shoulders, and my fingertips itched to reach out and push it off her face.

“I know what happens next, Quaid…do you?” Her tone had dropped to a husky whisper that hit me right in the dick. My entire body tensed up and I almost, very nearly, leaned down and met her as she lifted up on her tiptoes towards me. I wanted to kiss her. I wanted her to kiss me. But over the top of her head, as she moved towards me, I caught sight of a familiar face. The heady, little bubble of seduction and intoxicating risk that Avett had created around me popped, dropping me hard, back into reality.

I turned my head as her lips grazed my cheek, and even though it was as innocent as any kiss had ever been, it felt more erotic, more forbidden, and more illicit than any of the actual sex I had ever had. This little slip of a woman could demolish me, waste me, annihilate me, and if I allowed her to do it, I knew it would feel better than anything had in a very long time.

5 Stars

If you have read the Marked Men series and the first Saints of Denver you will recognize the leads in Charged. Avett is the daughter of Brite, the father figure to many of the Marked Men. Avett is always in trouble and she was last seen involved in something so bad it has now landed her in jail. Quaid was introduced in Built as the attorney interested in Sayer. Quaid has been hired by Asa to help Avett out of her mess because as you know Asa has been there done that.

Now I know many readers hated Avett and didn’t want a book for her but I am a sucker for the bad girl or bad boy getting a chance to turn it all around. I loved the opener to the story and seeing Avett in jail at rock bottom was sad but she needed that wake up call. I think Crownover did a fantastic job of letting both Quaid and Avett tell their truth. She didn’t try to change Avett into a good girl to sell the story. Avett didn’t change who she was at all; she just learned how to make better choices.

Quaid was a surprise for me and he hooked me right away when he started telling his story. I saw him like Avett did; handsome good guy lawyer that goes to dinner parties, has high dollar shoes, and a fancy apartment. In Avett’s eyes they were so different they would never fit. Quaid wasn’t the perfect and proper rich guy, but he has spent his life trying to mold into that because he thought that is what he wanted. Avett was perfect for him because he found himself through her once he let her in. He got back to his roots and started to remember who he was and what he wanted out of life. Avett and Quaid were smoking hot together and I think out of all the couples Crownover has written these two had the "it" factor when it came to chemistry.

It was also great to revisit old faves. You will get some nice scenes with Rome as Avett tries to make amends. I wasn’t a big fan of Asa’s book but I loved him in Charged. It was great to see him mentor Avett and help her stop self-destructing. Charged is a great story of finding yourself and learning from your mistakes. I have to say this is hands down my favorite Jay Crownover book. Well done!
