Overruled by Emma Chase
4.0

Another series from the fabulous Emma Chase - let me at it!

From the minute we meet Stanton and Jenny back in their high school days, you just know that he going to be a stand up kind of guy. When their lives change in an instant, he doesn't run away like a lesser man does.

12 years later, when his career in DC is about to really take off, he gets the news that he never thought he would hear - Jenny is getting married - to someone else.

Sofia, Stanton's friend with benefits agrees to help him get "his girl" back, even as it breaks her heart to do so.

Oh Stanton, I wanted to shake some sense into the man! How could he not see that what he wants, what he needs is standing in front of him, not the woman he always thought he was meant to be with

My heart shatters for Sofia as Stanton keeps pursuing his first love at her expense. Stanton was a bit of a jerk to her, wanting his cake and eating it too. Gah, men! Hey, sleep with me but help me get my girl back? Yeah, NO!!! But I could feel the pull between the two and that kind of thing is hard to ignore, or resist.

To quote Forrest Gump... "I'm not a smart man Jenny, but I know what love is." That may be so, but does he know who it is with?

Overruled is a smart, sassy, sexy story. While at times I was laughing out loud, there were other times where I shed a few ugly tears as well.

Well played, Ms Chase, well played!

Oooh and a really great part of Overruled? We got a bit more of my man Drew Evans! Both past and present! Woohoo!!!! And her work colleagues Brent and Jake are great. Can't wait for more of them!

So, will Stanton keep chasing his past, or will he finally see what it right in front of him,and get the HEA he is after?

Nope, for that you are going to have to read for yourself.

Can't wait for book #2 Sustained.
