An interesting romance twist between a top notch lawyer and a man she’s brought in to defend with ties to a notorious and powerful family-- Defending Pacer was all in all a not bad read. I found it likable, with a great blend of forbidden love, moral ethics, hot sex, and going against the grain.
I was inept with how author TJ Hamilton was going to unravel this uncanny and complicated tale, but boy did she pull it off!
Over all, an intriguing take on a convicted murder and the only person who could possibly save him as well as herself.

☆✮ Excerpt ✮☆
Those damn leather gloves, I blame them.
I run my fingers through my hair to blow out at the wet strands that have stuck around my lips, and I grab my glass and gulp the remainder of my week old wine, before flopping back against the couch to collect my thoughts.
Seriously though, what the hell was that?
Pacer Fratelli is my client! A dangerous client. A client who I know is a murderer.
I can’t feel like this, but I do.
His smile flashes before my eyes again. Oh my god, would you just leave me the hell alone? I punch my fists down onto the chair, either side of me.
I strip down as I head to the shower, peeling off each layer like I’m shedding skin and discarding the clothes on the floor with an angry slap. My body is still abuzz with my post-assault, but at the same time, I am pissed off. These thoughts have no place in my mind. They can fuck right off.
A after a good talking to myself in the stream of the cold shower, I throw on my old university sweats, ready to see my night out in front of the coffee table … and all things Pacer Fratelli.
Dangerously hot, Pacer Fratelli.
Gah!
