Date: 01 10, 2014
Legal Affairs is a new venture for Sawyer Bennett. Legal Affairs is a bi-weekly serial that will feature six installments. Once the sixth, and final, bi-weekly installment releases, the full novel will become available.This review is for the first installment, Legal Affairs: Objection. Not only has Sawyer Bennett ventured into a new concept of publishing but she has also ventured into a new style of writing. Legal Affairs is a contemporary romance but is much more erotic than her previous novels. Many readers fear when an author ventures into writing erotica or an erotic romance that the characters are going to get lost in the steam. This is not the case with Legal Affairs. Sawyer Bennett’s writing talent shines and she delivers one of the sexiest reads that focuses on building the characters, as well as their relationship.In Legal Affairs: Objection we meet McKayla Dawson. McKayla is a young attorney working for a struggling law firm to get enough experience in the field to move on to a bigger firm. Her boss is a tyrant and makes her job miserable. She struggles with her finances, school loans, and trying to build a career that will pay for those loans. To top it off, six months earlier, her long term boyfriend dumped her. She has thrown herself into her work for the last six months. Her socialite roommate talks her into using an exclusive, secretive, dating service called One Night Only. It is just as the name implies – one night only. It is completely anonymous and perfect for McKayla.She is going out on a date with #134, aka Mike.Her date with Mr. #134 turns out to be the hottest sex she has ever experienced. She is very satisfied with the outcome. Her one night only was perfect.One night only turns out not to be so perfect. In fact it turns into a disaster on Monday morning when McKayla meets her new boss, Mr. 134 Matt Connover, high powered attorney and owner of the law firm that acquired the firm she worked for. Talk about awkward, embarrassing, job threatening and professional suicide. Add a difficult case that has no hope and McKayla is screwed.On that note I am not going to say more, too many spoilers. I can say this, I am hooked.Sawyer Bennett drew the readers in with the mystery one night stand dating service. She added conflict when she threw these two one nighters together in a work situation, where they will have to see each other day in and day out. She had the most erotic scenes throughout this first installment and continued to build the sexual chemistry to a high temperature blaze. She gave us enough insight into the characters without giving their complete personalities, flaws, and strengths away. This will keep the readers curious as to who Matt Connover and McKayla Dawson really are and what makes them tick. Add the difficult law case and the inner workings of a high powered law firm and it adds another plot to the story.It is no wonder that Sawyer Bennett is one of my favorite writers. What was delivered in these first twelve chapters of Legal Affairs was addicting. In this short installment the reader got more of bang than what most erotic romance novels deliver in 300 pages. This serial will not disappoint.Well done Sawyer! I am hooked and dying for the next installment in the Legal Affairs Serial.Look for the review on the second installment, Legal Affairs: Stipulation releasing on January 24, 2014.
