Lucas is a great male lead. He loves his woman and will do anything for her, even just being her friend. The care he shows for damaged Elise and the loving he gives to child that was conceived by another man, but is his nonetheless confirms his love. Elise is a strong woman baring her teeth when people threaten her young daughter. Together Lucas and Elise make the sweetest couple with lots of steam. The standalone read does have a happily ever after, although the road to that is definitely bumpy.
This is the third book in the Dirty Hot Resistance series. All of the characters feature in the other books are included. The friendship between the women and the protectiveness of the men make them a great group to be a part of. If you want to get to know them give this a read.

Ressisting The Lawyer book 3 of the Dirty Hot Resistance series, by Emelia Blair. This is a friends to lover office romance
I have to give this book 4 stars because for some reason I unfortunately couldn’t get completely engrossed in this book, it took me 5 day to finish it and it normally just takes 1 or 2 days to read a book. I do love Emelia Blair.
I did get more engrossed half way through the story.
Ok ….I loved Lucas he is truly the man you want by your side for life. Elise my goodness that poor woman went through hell, my heart was breaking for her. Little Sophie was just so precious and the innocent one in this crazy, dangerous world she was born into.
This book had fantastic characters they like a family they support each other no matter what, great chemistry in-between Lucas and Elise I did feel that emotion coming out of Lucas, there’s a lot of danger in this book, mean bullying, physical abuse, this real sleazy nasty man that I felt like strangling him, funny bantering, revenge and love does prevailing in the end after all the hurt they endured. That ending was soooooo damm good loved it!!!
This is a stand-alone, no cliffhangers.

He will always be by her side and love them
Resisting the Lawyer is the third book in the Dirty Hot Resistance series and it is the best so far to me. It is the story of Lucas and Elise who are boss and secretary but also friends. Well that is so Lucas has also been in love with Elise since they first met and she has been crushing on him for as long. But he never asked her out and instead they became good friends and support systems for each other. She definitely did rely on him once she became pregnant by another man and then had the baby, a daughter named Sophia, on her own with the father not wanting anything to do with them. When she comes back to work after her maternity leave she is bullied by other female employees but Lucas is there to protect them both. At the same time he makes it more known that he is interested in her and also Sophia. Lucas finally sees an opportunity to become more and decides to ask her to be his date to his sisters wedding. But there are people causing issues and becoming more threatening towards Elise and Sophia putting them in real danger by the end. This brings out Lucas’s protective and possessive Alpha side as he will not let anyone harm Elise or Sophia.
Lucas is a great character as he is written with just the right amount of sexy and growly Alpha mix. Elise is a sweet young woman who finds her mama bear strength and finally learns how to use it.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

Elise ends up having a girl she names Sophie. Lucas knows he has to go slow and earn her trust and to know he won’t treat Elise like the man who got her pregnant. I really enjoyed this book.

A page turner about Elise and Lucas. I loved the way that the author pulled me in at the very beginning and kept my rapt attention up to the very end. Ms. Blair has written a story that had me laughing, crying, getting angry and holding my breath. Her story line was in depth and kept me guessing and swiping the ages well into the night. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys their romance with a little suspense…or maybe a lot.

Awesome BOOK! I love Emelia’s series with these men, Oliver, Caleb and Lucas. This story is about Lucas and Elise. On the last book Elise had given birth to her baby girl Sophie and Lucas was with her from the start. He has been in love with her since she first stared working for them even when he found out that she was pregnant, and the father was not involved. He decided to take on the role of her friend during her pregnancy, but now it was time to claim her as his… The story is interesting as the real father becomes someone that one expected. The drama in the book is awesome, there is a portion of horror for poor Elise, but she is a strong woman who defends her little Sofia like nothing in the world. Jace who is Kendalls brother is awesome in this book and even though he is not one of the beginners of this story, I would really hope to see him added there or maybe just a nice short epilogue story of all of them together.

This was a delightful romance with a mystery intertwined. The reader is captured from the beginning to the end with many twists, turns and surprises. Elise is a very independent gal who can’t believe that Lucas could really be interested in her. There is no hint as to why Darren is being so mean to her and it doesn’t become clear until the end of the story. Lucas is a lost cause for Elise and her baby,Sophia. There are some tense moments keep the pages turning. Luckily everything turns out by the end of the story with a happy ending.
Lucas and Elise are employed at the same company and he has been in love with her for over a year. He has treated her as a friend only, not asking her out even though he wanted to. When she became pregnant with someone else, he continued to be her supportive friend. With the baby now 6 months old, he is ready to ask her to start dating finally. His sister, Debra, is getting married and bringing her there as his date would be a good start.
Now someone appears to be after Elise, and Lucas is not going to allow anyone to hurt her. He waited long enough, and she is his to protect. There is some suspense and danger to keep the reader highly interested. There are also familiar characters from other books in the series to connect with. I enjoyed the characters and seeing them interact, especially the relationship of Lucas and Debra. It was definitely very brother-sister dialog! Grab your copy and enjoy the action.
Wow I had such a great time reading this book. The characters are a really fun couple their chemistry is undeniable from the start however getting to the HEA makes for one to read. The flow of the storyline was awesome.
