ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 17, 2018
I never thought a pecker would get me in so much trouble.
I mean, sure… if you’re talking about a certain anatomical feature of mine that the ladies just love. Given my bachelor status and appreciation for all things curvy and feminine, I could absolutely see that. But a different pecker is making my life much harder than it needs to be.
My name is Ford Daniels, partner at the law firm of Knight & Payne, and my latest case has me wading through the finer points of peckers—woodpeckers that is. Specifically, the red-cockaded woodpecker. I swear, I can’t make this stuff up but that’s what the sexy-as-hell blonde chained to a tree told me this morning.
Her name is Viveka Jones and she is so much more than a pretty face. She’s got wit, charm, and razor-sharp smarts. Turns out my client is looking to bulldoze the red-cockaded woodpecker’s natural habitat in favor of a multimillion-dollar subdivision and the sexy attorney with legs for days (and days), just happens to be counsel for an animal rights group looking to put a halt to construction.
My client’s pissed, but all I can think about is getting Viveka across the table from me. And then on the table underneath me. Perhaps up against the wall. And then—
Well, let’s just say when it’s all said and done, I’m hoping the red-cockaded woodpecker isn’t the only pecker that gets some attention from Miss Viveka Jones.

REVIEW: THE PECKER BRIEFS is the seventh instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary adult LEGAL AFFAIRS erotic, romance series. This is opposing attorneys forty-three year old Ford Daniels, and thirty-six year old Viveka Jones’ story line. THE PECKER BRIEFS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Ford and Viveka) THE PECKER BRIEFS follows the building relationship between opposing counsels, attorneys Ford Daniels and Viveka Jones. As an animal rights attorney, Viveka has seen her share of animal abuse and chaining herself to a tree meant getting the exposure she hoped she would find in an effort to stop the deforestation in an area home to the red-cockaded woodpecker. What Viveka never expected was to meet the man with whom she would fall in love. Enter attorney Ford Daniels, representing the law firm of Knight & Payne, and her opposing counsel in a hearing to determine the future of the land housing the endangered ‘pecker’. What ensues is the building relationship between Ford and Viveka, and the increasing danger as Viveka is targeted by an unknown source.
Viveka Jones never meant to seduce our story line hero but their palpable sexual attraction to one another was evident to everyone including the senior partner at Knight & Payne. A former Swedish model, Viveka’s beauty is a distraction to men including Ford himself, and Ford finds himself pulled towards Viveka for more than a one-night stand. The potential ramifications of an affair between opposing counsels is a constant reminder that anything might possibly go wrong.
The relationship between Ford and Viveka is one of immediate attraction; an insta-lust story line that finds our couple in bed within hours of meeting. Ford doesn’t do relationships but meeting Viveka our hero slowly begins to think about a future with the former Swedish model. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic, and intense. The use of a certain four-letter word is not applied to the romance aspect of the story line but gives nod to the behaviour and threats against our story line heroine.
We are introduced to Viveka’s BFF, beauty salon owner Frannie; Viveka’s mother Tilde Sjogren Wroth, a woman unable to let go of what was; land developer and Landmark Builders owner Drake Powell; Ford’s boss, senior partner Midge Payne; and Ford’s best friend, attorney Leary, and her husband Reeve. Leary, Reeve and Midge were introduced in the book FRICTION (October 2015)
We are privy to Viveka’s back story, a heart breaking look at a young woman whose earlier career and success exposes the reality of the fractured mother –daughter dynamics. Rescuing an abused animal from a potential life of suffering and pain, Viveka’s history reveals a colorful past that shaped the woman she was born to be.
THE PECKER BRIEFS is a story of power and greed; vengeance and money; lust, love, romance and a happily ever after. The premise is engaging, captivating, and sensual; the romance is energetic, provocative and seductive; the characters are colorful, inspiring, and spirited. THE PECKER BRIEFS is a sassy , sexy and edgy story line you do not want to miss.
