My Review

Guilty as charged by Harlow James is an enemies-to-overs book. There is angst, humour and hot scenes. There are a few triggers to be aware of, so read the blurb carefully. 


I liked the characters. They have amazing chemistry even if they had a bit rocky start. 
I loved their character growth in the book. 

This book is an emotional journey for the characters and the readers. There are many heavy scenes, but there is also much humour, so it balances out. Love the empowering women theme in this book. 

Amazing plot and very well written. I would recommend this book. 

I received a free ARC copy of this book, and I am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions are my own.

Sydney Matthews.

Prom queen, cheerleading captain, and royal pain in my ass.

I haven’t seen her in ten years and in our first reconciliation, I end up with soda spilled on the crotch of my pants while she sways in front of me in her cowboy boots.

I chalk up our meeting as a coincidence, but then she starts popping up everywhere, including the self-defense class I teach in the evenings at my best friend’s gym.

Tight spandex slathers her curves and her sassy mouth starts to play tricks on my mind, making me yearn for a girl that is so far out of my league it’s not even funny.

You see, Sydney is a lawyer now, and I just got out of prison.

I’m trying to get my life back on track and stay away from temptation. But the princess from the other side of town is igniting a craving in my body that I can’t ignore.

Seems she feels it too because one night she asks me to fuck her and I about choke on my tongue.

Friends with benefits becomes the game we’re convinced we’re playing, but there’s a lot more friendly behavior happening than should.

And the lines get blurred so quickly, I feel myself falling for the girl that I want to corrupt with every flick of my tongue.

The girl I shouldn’t want, but do with every fiber of my body.

But will she still want me when she finds out what I did?

Will I fit into her world? A world that comes with an overbearing father who thinks he knows what’s best for his daughter even at twenty-eight?

One thing is for certain though:
When it comes to falling for Sydney Matthews, I’m guilty as charged.
