Cheyenne's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 I love being excited when a book that I have been waiting for releases or I am lucky enough to get an ARC in advance to review. So to say I was excited when I got Sustained may be a slight understatement. I was so excited because it's Emma Chase, hello, she writes books that will have you in tears from laughing so hard. She knows how to write a male character that you will one minute want to slap upside the back of his head and then the next want to kiss him. Jake Becker doesn't disappoint because he will make you want to slap him, kiss him, possibly rape him, and fall in love with him. 
 Jake is your typical manwhore. No relationships, different women all the time, may keel over and die if you ever put the words Jake and relationship together. You know the kind who thinks that way until he meets the one woman who knocks him on his ass, who, even when he is lying to himself about having feelings he is in fact falling for her. Oh wait it gets even better, said woman is the guardian for her nieces and nephews so add children into the mix. Six of them in fact. Let me give you a few minutes for that to sink in, can you imagine what type of freak out Jake starts to have? But now picture this. He actually starts to not just care about Chelsea, but the kids as well. 
 Chelsea is sweet, funny and even though she is taking care of her six nieces and nephews after the death of their parents the best that she can, sometimes things become more than she can handle and now that Jake is helping her, it is almost like they are a team, a weird non family unit. I loved how even when one of the kids, or more than one would get in trouble or do something wrong, she still didn't give up. When her relationship with Jake also includes his legal help more than once, you can see how much his help and support has meant to her. And when he does the typical male asshole thing and hurts her, well I give her even more props for staying strong as she can. 
 Do you know why I love books like this so much? It is not just because of the smoking hot sex scenes, or the guaranteed laughs I will have, it is because deep down I believe that love can heal and repair pain. That love will open your eyes and show you what you have in front of you, even if it means everything you think you don't want in your life is the exact thing that you fall in love with. Emma Chase not only had me falling in love with Jake and Chelsea, but also the kids as well. I love this series, and I can't wait to read more about this crazy group of attorneys that we are all coming to know and love.
