ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 14, 2016

When you’re a rock god, fame and fortune are your two best friends, but they can be fickle bed mates. It seems everyone wants a piece of me. I’m being sued, pressured to sign contracts, and fending off rabid women who want to steal my virtue. Just kidding on that one. We all know I don’t have much virtue left.

That’s why I need Emma Peterson. The sharp-as-a-tack and sexy-as-sin lawyer saved my ass before and I know she can do it again. The only problem is that sweet, prim and totally straight-laced Emma doesn’t want anything to do with me. Not professionally, and certainly not personally.

But c’mon. Everyone wants me, and even though it would take a crow bar of epic proportions to get her to spread those sexy legs for me, all I want is her mind. I swear. Her beautiful, brilliant mind to make sense of my crazy world. Good thing I have something up my sleeve to get her to say “yes”. Some might call it blackmail. I call it SOMETHING ELSE.

Looks like Emma Peterson just became my biggest defender. If only I can resist wanting to screw my attorney six ways to Sunday.

REVIEW: SEXY LIES AND ROCK & ROLL by Sawyer Bennett is a stand alone, contemporary adult, romance story line focusing on rock star Evan Scott, and attorney Emma Peterson.

Told from dual first person points of view (Evan and Emma) SEXY LIES AND ROCK & ROLL follows the building relationship between prim and proper attorney Emma Peterson, and sexy rock star Evan Scott. When Evan finds himself in several legal dilemmas Emma Peterson is the attorney sent to represent our hero. With his upcoming indie tour and the potential for some serious PR, Evan hires straight laced and inexperience Emma Peterson as part of his legal team and personal consultant. What ensues is the growing love between two people whose lives will fall apart when jealousy and greed of another kind builds in the background.

The relationship between Evan and Emma is one of immediate attraction but Emma isn’t willing to cross the professional line. Evan has wanted Emma since the first day they met but sitting in a jail cell wasn’t conducive to a relationship start. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive without the use of over the top graphic sexual text and imagery.

We are introduced to Emma’s boss Midge Payne, as well as Emma’s father Cary Peterson; tour bus driver Red; Evan’s manager Tyler Hannity; and Emma’s larger than life puppy Sirius.

The world building focuses on the relationship between Evan and Emma, as well as the behind the scenes struggles of an indie musician making it big in a world where super stars and contracts collide. I had hoped for a little more information about Evan’s early years that have affected his relationship with the parental units but he does have a support system in place. And I struggled with the heroine’s actions as it pertained to an event that completely upended the couple’s relationship-her arrogance and pride exacerbated an already volatile situation. Emma’s handling of the situation was immature and childish.

SEXY LIES AND ROCK & ROLL is a story of opposites attract. The premise is enjoyable and entertaining: the characters are vibrant and energetic; the romance is flirtatious and captivating. Sawyer Bennett will add another charming and delightful story line to your romance collection.
