At the powerhouse law firm of Knight & Payne, winning comes first and ethics a distant second. Leary Michaels uses her female charms to daze opponents, and it’s always worked well—until now. On her most personal case yet, she finds herself going up against a defense attorney just as skilled, shameless, and seductive as she is.
Reeve Holloway has never met a woman as sure of her own sexuality, or as ruthless in wielding it, as Leary is. But he won’t be toyed with. What Leary starts, he’ll finish—in the courtroom, the bedroom, or any-damn-place he wants. The sex is uninhibited, electrifying, and absolutely against the rules. Reeve’s job is to ruin Leary’s case…even if it destroys her in the process and costs him the woman he’s come to love.
I’m sure when Sawyer Bennett graduated from law school she never imagined using her degree to help write smoking hot erotica, and boy is Friction some kind of steamy.
First, you’ve got two likable, determined attorneys on opposing sides of a high stakes case. When you factor in calculated legal strategy, humor, an abundance of sexual tension, and orgasms galore—voilà!—you have a successful courtroom romance. In between all the panty melting escapades though, there’s a lot of legal preparation that goes on as the countdown to the trial begins. I know virtually nothing about the law other than what I see on The Good Wife or Law and Order so I was actually quite interested to learn about the legal proceedings.
While light on substance, this book is a drama-free quick read that I enjoyed.

About Sawyer Bennett
Since the release of her debut contemporary romance novel, Off Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released more than 30 books and has been featured on both the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists on multiple occasions.
A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer writes something for just about everyone.
Sawyer likes her Bloody Mary’s strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active toddler, as well as full-time servant to two adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or a combination of the two.
