About this listen
The New York Times best-selling author of the Tangled books returns with the third romance in the Legal Briefs series, a collection of sexy novels about first crushes, second chances, and the final verdict of the heart.
When Brent Mason looks at Kennedy Randolph, he doesn't see the awkward, sweet girl who grew up next door. He sees a self-assured, stunning woman...who wants to crush the most intimate - and prized - parts of his anatomy beneath the heels of her Louboutins.
When Kennedy looks at Brent, all she sees is the selfish, Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue-worthy teenager who humiliated her in high school in order to join the popular crowd. A crowd that made those years a living hell for her.
But she's not a lovesick social outcast anymore - she's a Washington, DC, prosecutor with a long winning streak. Brent is the opposing attorney in her next case, and Kennedy thinks it's time to put him through a little hell of his own.
But things aren't exactly working out the way she planned. Brent has his sights set on Kennedy, and every fiery exchange only makes him want her more - and makes her wonder if he's as passionate in the bedroom as he is in the courtroom. In the end they may just find themselves in love...or in contempt of court.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Hockey star Max Yearwood was everything I needed at the time - fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months, since he’d signed with a new team 3,000 miles away. Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right? Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

The first time I met Merrick Crawford was during my job interview. Well, technically, I’d met him 20 minutes earlier when he’d barged into a fitting room a few doors down from my appointment. I yelled. He yelled. After an argument while standing in my bra, I proceeded to smash the door into the gorgeous jerk, trying to yank it shut. As you might imagine, I was freaked out when I discovered that the rude guy was my potential new boss. Yet he didn’t seem to recognize me. Or so I thought.... Until we wound up bickering again during my interview and he told me to go sniff my armpit.

I'm not interested in starting something deep and meaningful, but what I am interested in is the way your body reacts to mine when we're in the same room. You probably assume the concentration on my face is work-related, when in reality, I'm figuring out which I want more: to nail you against the wall, or to bend you over my desk.

The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home. The last thing I ever expected? I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.

I’ve got a list of people I absolutely don’t ever want to be stuck with on a boat, or a plane, or a train, and it starts and ends with the broody, grumpy, too-sexy-for-my-own good Axel Huxley. Also known as this romance novelist’s number one nemesis. The man is legendary for his mighty pen and his even mightier scowl. I tried to work together with the cocky thriller writer once upon a time, but the two of us are like vodka and good decisions. We don’t play well together.

Deacon Lee is NOT Alpha Male
Would you listen to Appealed again? Why?
I liked it better the 1st time I listened to it. However, the second time all I heard was the snarky tremble of Deacon Lee's voice. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Emma Chase. I have all her Audio books and have listened to them all several times. I like that this is 1st person in the males perspective - Has the usual dry humor with laugh out loud moments. The characters are well developed. There is some "trip down memory lane" moments but they are done in a way that doesn't leave the listener confused. No insta-love and this is a stand alone story. It's an Emma Chase story what's not to love... Except the narrator :(
If you’ve listened to books by Emma Chase before, how does this one compare?
Tangled is still my favorite. In this series probably Sustained. This is more a 2nd chance romance.
Would you be willing to try another one of Deacon Lee’s performances?
NO...just no. He has so many voices and his female voice is actually less distracting then his normal narrative voice when he's not in character. When he portrays other male characters it's less shaky.. But when he's narrating the H...his voice is just whiney

A Book with Sex Appeal!
This book was delightful. Funny, sexy, romantic and sweet. I do like stories that have a bit more naughty time but this book does such a great job of balancing naughty and sweet I didn't even really miss it. Strong female lead character and great narration. I'm a huge Sebastian York fan and have yet to find another male voice that I enjoy but Deacon comes pretty close. I was skeptical at first listen but fell further in like with his voice the more time went on. I'd give this book a listen if you are looking for something light and 'romantical' with just a hint of naughty!

Perfect, rough voice for Brent!
While some argue that the narrator doesn't fit their image of Brent, he does. A man who at a young age lost a limb, was surrounded by servants and people who wanted him for his family or money, is a criminal defense attorney, AND chooses only superficial relationships... OF COURSE he was a rough and tougher voice. He doesn't work at being or sounding pretty. Excellent novel!

Entertaining & Non-violent
Emma Chase has a true gift for adding humor to her romantic romps; parts of Appealed made me laugh out loud.
I had some problems with the premise, which involved Brent and Kennedy being best friends from birth to high school, at which point there were numerous misunderstandings. While teens can be blinded by hormones and wild mood swings, I found it difficult to accept that they were suddenly ready to believe the absolute worse of each other.
Kennedy seemed to have a split personality; she was an adventurous child, a passive teen victim, and a bitter adult. Who was the real Kennedy? Why didn't she fight back against the high school bullies; if her life was a "living hell" than she didn't have anything to lose. While I appreciated that the problem of "bullying" was spotlighted in the plot, I was disappointed that no suggestions were given for dealing with bullies.
I absolutely loved that Brent was in therapy, making him more aware of his feelings and those of others. Brent was one of the most appealing male characters I have "read" lately, an engaging mix of swaggering male and playful child. However, it didn't make sense that he never attempted to contact Kennedy in the 14 years since high school; she was "the one" for him, yet Brent just waited around hoping to see her again. Facebook anyone?
The extended epilogue was the best part - wrapping up the lives of all the partners in very satisfying ways. Well Done!

Sweet story about second chances. I absolutely love Deacon's voice and search out anything he narrates.

Brent and Kennedy
/\
Brent and Kennedy grew up within the privileged and exclusive community in the suburbs of Washington DC. Their parents were friends and their mothers were pretty much best buddies, joined at the hip. They are one another's best friends until those awkward teenage years hit. It is then that Kennedy overhears some of Brent's friends talking about her in an unflattering way. She sticks out high school and seemingly disappears.
Brent still seems wrapped up in the life of privilege as he has a butler - leaving me perplexed as the listener but also is the perfect straightman comedy character.
Brent sees Kennedy many years later (she is a federal prosecutor) and he is gob smacked! He always knew she was smart but now she is gorgeous.
They must face one another in the courtroom but will they be able to keep their relationship both professional and sizzling?
This is a fun, sweet and sexy third installment in the LEGAL BRIEFS series. Each (perhaps with the exception of SIDEBAR) can be read as a standalone, in my opinion. However if you have the opportunity to read each back to back you won't miss out on anything. In order: OVERRULED, SUSTAINED, APPEALED and 2.5 hour novella SIDEBAR.

There are two very different opinions regarding the male narrators. I found each of them; Jason Carpenter, Sebastian York x2 and Deacon Lee all very solid, believable performers. If I have to choose a favorite I would choose Sebastian York.
Overall five stars

She’s done it again!
Total home run from Emma Chase. So sad this was the end of the series because I enjoyed every minute of every book. I laughed out loud and fell in love so many times during this series. All these characters stole my heart.
