Sustained has taken me by surprise and it's a huge step up from the previous book. It's cute, romantic and crazy hilarious. I think I get why most people I knew adore this book the most in the series. The story is about Jake Becker and Chelsea McQuaid and it's written in Jake's pov. (You can never go wrong when Emma Chase writes in male pov.) 
 Jake Becker is a criminal defense lawyer. He's sharp, driven and remorseless in court but he's a man who isn't into relationships and the last thing he wants was complications. When he was young, he's a troubled boy and a Judge sets him straight. He owes his success to him and every weekend, he visits Judge Atticus Faulkner in a nursing home. His life changed when he caught a young boy stole his wallet and he reminds of himself in this boy. He takes him home after their serious talk and there he meets his aunt, Chelsea. 
 Chelsea's brother and his wife were instantly killed in a vehicular accident and leaving their kids under her care. Acting as a parent to her nephews and nieces takes a lot of responsibility. She loved them but handling the kids by herself can be exhausting and overwhelming. Concerned with her problems, Jake initiatively helps her taking care of the kids. He didn't expect to be attached with them and later on, he starts to develop feelings with their aunt. The question: Is he ready for commitment? 
 I'm incredibly touched with Jake Becker. He's sweet, patient, protective and thoughtful. He's definitely a BOOK HUSBAND and I fell in love with him more when he's with the kids. Though it wasn't his responsibility, he genuinely wants to help and not just to impress someone. HE'S SO DAMN GOOD WITH THE KIDS. *I have heart eyes for him* It's obvious he's attracted with Chelsea because she's humble, loving, selfless, caring and responsible. She gives her best to hold the kids together when they're falling apart. Jake and Chelsea have an amazing chemistry and both are great as a couple and individuals. 
 The McQuaid kids can be messy at times but these little rascals grew on me. They are all hilarious and adorable in their own ways. Out of the six kids, Regan was my favorite. She's the cutest and most adorable. I'll hi this kid forever. ;) If you know what I mean.
