ARC received for an honest review 4.5 stars

It has been forever since we have had a new TJ Hamilton book - well, just over 6 months but it feel like forever.

And Defending Pacer was well worth the wait.

Lawyer Chelsea Tanner and career criminal Paciano "Pacer" Fratelli could not be on more opposite sides of the legal fine line.

But what makes them so bad for each other is what makes them so good together.

"The feeling I have for a woman I've just met is beyond my control. I don't know what to do with it. All Iknow is I want her." ~~ Pacer



From the moment they meet, they are consumed by each other - but what lengths will they go to to be together? To defend their feelings for each other.

"Pacer Fratelli is so bad, but the fantasy of him is sublime. I would never, could never be with someone like hin, but the very thought of him..." ~~ Chelsea

While there is plenty attraction and hot sexy action, there is also a lot of funny, sweet moments. I loved seeing the playful, fun side of Pacer. He was great before, but when those moments come out, he is absolutely amazing.

And what that man can do with a leather glove!



There was a secondary character that I just love love loved! Logan - they (yes they, you will get it when you read) are just amazing. I want a Logan in my life.

As with Ms Hamilton's other works, Defending Pacer has a darker undercurrent, showing us the seedier side of Sydney, and it has drawn me right in. It was a rollercoaster of a ride, and I didn't want to get off.

Can't wait for what Ms Hamilton brings us next.
