Sustained by Emma Chase is the second book in her Legal Briefs series. This is the story of the perpetual bachelor Jake Becker and the unsuspecting (and very patient) Chelsea McQuaid. 
 This was my favorite story by Emma Chase to date. I have thoroughly loved ALL the others and I don't think any came away with less than a 5 star rating, but seeing the transformation with Jake throughout this story - it blew me away. 
 Jake is a perpetual bachelor. No desire AT ALL to settle down. SO when an encounter with a young pickpocket causes his path to cross with Chelsea the ensuing chaos is charming, endearing, heartbreaking, and beautiful. So much happened from that one encounter. 
 Also, the humor throughout the book, even while it was being romantic and dramatic was spot-on. 
 I FREAKING LOVED IT!!!!!!!
