The Pecker Briefs (Legal Affairs, #8)
Sawyer Bennett
I never thought a pecker would get me in so much trouble. I mean, sure… if you’re talking about a certain anatomical feature of mine that the ladies just love. Given my bachelor status and appreciation for all things curvy and feminine, I could absolutely see that. But a different pecker is making my life much harder than it needs to be. My name is Ford Daniels, partner at the law firm of Knight & Payne, and my latest case has me wading through the finer points of peckers—woodpeckers that is. Specifically, the red-cockaded woodpecker. I swear, I can’t make this stuff up but that’s what the sexy-as-hell blonde chained to a tree told me this morning. Her name is Viveka Jones and she is so much more than a pretty face. She’s got wit, charm, and razor-sharp smarts. Turns out my client is looking to bulldoze the red-cockaded woodpecker’s natural habitat in favor of a multimillion-dollar subdivision and the sexy attorney with legs for days (and days), just happens to be counsel for an animal rights group looking to put a halt to construction. My client’s pissed, but all I can think about is getting Viveka across the table from me. And then on the table underneath me. Perhaps up against the wall. And then— Well, let’s just say when it’s all said and done, I’m hoping the red-cockaded woodpecker isn’t the only pecker that gets some attention from Miss Viveka Jones.

Your rating:
I usually love, love, love Sawyer Bennett’s books. They suck me in and don’t let me go until I’ve read the last page. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen with this particular book. You may think it’s because it’s book #7 of this series and I haven’t read the others. That’s not so. I didn’t even realize it was the middle of a series because this story is truly a book that can work as a standalone. There just wasn’t that extra something that kept me engaged.
Now, that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy this story. I truly did. Ford and Viveka are both great characters and their chemistry is wonderful. Ford is so thoughtful and caring even though that’s kind of the opposite of what your first impression would be. Viveka has so much grit and determination you can’t help but admire her. Their chemistry is easy and laid back even with the explosive sex they have. There’s a comfort in their coupling, and that’s not a bad thing.
There were some editing issues that drove me batty. But honestly, they weren’t that bad. It’s just my bad habit of picking up every single misplaced punctuation mark or misused word. I’m sure there are very few people who picked up on the things I did. I suppose those few things could have taken me out of the story more than I realized and therefore messed with the flow. I’m just not sure what my issues were.
This was still a fantastic read. I love the title and the play on words. I love this author. As you can see, it’s still getting quite a decent rating from me. I’m just used to giving her 4 and 5 stars for her stories. I really can’t get enough of her Cold Fury series. So, if you’re a new reader to Sawyer Bennett I would advise reading Alex first. And then maybe a bit further into that series. Then circle around back to this one. If you’re already a fan of this author, you’ll enjoy this story. It’s just not as explosive as the others.
