I have been waiting for this one and boy is it ever worth the wait. So many twists and turns will have you keep wondering almost to the end. Loved Lucas and Elise characters so much that they have developed over this series, have taken delight in how each have progressed not with each other, but in themselves as well. Wonderful in how all these friends have become family and someone they can truly count on for help.

Superb, edge of your seat romantic read. 4.5 stars. I’ve always found it amazing when an author can bring romance, steamy sexiness, and nail-biting crime into a thrilling novel. This is the 3rd book in this series I’ve read, and the author had managed to give each and every successive book a unique edge and keep it interesting. These novels revolve around a group of people and although each story is different, the characters are constant. The introduction to Lucas’ and Elise’s fond exchanges was part of the ongoing description of the 1st two novels, here their full story unfolds. It is lovely to read about Lucas’ deep affection for Elise for over a year and his persistent presence in her life, even just as a friend if that’s all Elise, will allow him to be. Their feelings for each other naturally go way beyond simple friendship and after a great many well-spaced out tension points and good dialogue, our couple reaches their HEA, and with baby Sophie, they become a family that Lucas wanted for such a long time. I would recommend this book without hesitation. It is a very entertaining, often exciting page-turner. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

I really enjoyed this book about Lucas and Elise. It was witty, it made me giggle out loud. Great dialogue and it had intrigue in there.
It also had a cute baby that Lucas adores as well as her Mother. For me it was a great read I couldn’t put it down, I enjoyed it so much.

What happens when Lucas decides to finally tell Elise that he is in love with her? Fireworks in and out of the bedroom. Lucas has been by Elise side forever. When someone decides to go after Elise, they get Lucas as well. Elise daughter, Sophie, is adorable. Lucas is a cutthroat lawyer but Elise can have him eating out of her hand. Elise never thought Lucas would go for her. Suspense, mystery, intrigue, romance, and unpredictable twist has you wanting to finish the book in one sitting. Great characters with great chemistry. Look out because alpha Lucas is about to get the girl he wants and no one is going to stop him.

This is book three of the Dirty Hot Resistance Series and I found this series to be quite enjoyable to read. Lucas, a CEO, and Elise, a receptionist, have been flirting for over a year now. During that time she became pregnant to someone else. The story is interesting and has enough suspense and danger to keep you on the edge of your seat. Characters from the previous books are back and all characters are well defined. Great read!

This book is amazing and I loved it! It drew me in on page 1 and didn’t let go. The story of Lucas and Elise is full of love, sass and a bit of danger. Elise and Lucas work for the same company. He has been fascinated by her since the day he met her. When she found out she was pregnant, he decided she needed a friend more than anything so that’s what he became. He was even in the delivery room with her when her daughter Sophie was born. Now, Sophie is 6 months old, Elise is coming back to work and the baby’s father, Darren, is causing problems for her. Having made her sign a contract saying she had to keep Sophie away from him and can’t ask him for money, he begins to spread rumors about her at work. Lucas is persistent in his actions to get Elise to go on a date with him, but it doesn’t end up happening, but he finds the contract. Determined to make things right for her, he starts working to free her from Darren once and for all. While doing all this and falling more in love with Elise and Sophie everyday, Lucas must also deal with his own father and the trouble he is causing. Just when he thinks he’s dealt with both his father and Darren, the truth comes out and Lucas realizes just how much danger Elise is in. With the help of his friends Oliver and Caleb, he rushes to Elise’s apartment in time to save her and make sure the guilty parties pay. In the end, Elise allows herself to finally fully accept the unconditional love of the man who has been by her side through thick and thin and Lucas’s hard work pays off as he finally gets his happily ever after with Elise and Sophie.

Lucas has been practically in love with Elise for over a year and he finally decides to make his intentions known. But I didn’t see the twists and turns this would take and it had me on the edge. I swear, I spent most of the time reading with anxiety just waiting to see what would happen next. I love Lucas’ devotion and at times I had a hard time liking Elise but as you read on, you understand some of her reasons for certain things. I’m practically in love with all these characters.

Intense! Lucas, glided through the world with a deceptive laid back, calm, smooth exterior with the interior of a shark. He was considered one of the best corporate lawyers. He’s been crushing on Elise Smith in what seems like forever. Then she got pregnant and he thought she needed a friend more than a lover. So, he stepped into friend zone. Elise was aware of Lucas but thought he was out of her league. She was raised to be independent and to rely on no one but herself. She knew her paretns would not help her and she needed to help herself. Baby Sophia was a charmer. Lucas, twin Debra was getting married and he needed a plus one. Would this be a good opportunity to start asking Elise out?Their courtship was blocked by her drama and their history. New twists keep popping up. Good story! The friendships are great. There are mysteries and intrigues. Will questions be answered? Will Elise relax enough to let Lucas in? I received an ARC from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I absolutely loved this book, I really enjoyed this friends to lovers/office romantic suspense story, the storyline was intriguing and flowed smoothly. My heart broke at hearing Elise’s background story. I really liked both Elise and Lucas, even little Sophie was adorable.
My first time reading an Emelia Blair romance and surely won’t be the last! I loved the story of Lucas and Elise and all of their co-workers and friends! The story broke and mended my heart so many times that I couldn’t stop reading! It made me laugh, and a little bit worried, and witnessing the relationship being nurtured, growing and developing into forever was a thrill of a ride.

Omg this book had me hooked from the beginning until the end and so much twists and turns in it that will keep you guessing. Lucas has been secretly in love with his receptionist even though she had a baby by someone else . Elise has been secretly in love with Lucas but doesn’t trust men after everything she has been through but when baby daddy starts threatening her its Lucas to the rescue but what they find out is absolutely mindblowing. Great book
This was such a wonderful love story. I enjoyed it very much. The storyline was spot on and was well executed. I recommend it.

His Brave Little Warrior
Lucas is a top-notch ruthless lawyer but is very different when it comes to his personal life. Elise is a receptionist in his bldg. who has the most adorable baby girl. The birth father also works for the same company but wants zip contact with the “brat” as he calls her. Elise is bullied in the office & Lucas, who has been a great friend towards her since she started working there, gets into protective mode to keep Elise & her daughter safe.
This is not your typical lawyer/receptionist romp in the office hook-up. This has a different spin to the story. There is a big mystery surrounding Elise which keeps you interested. All the questions that develop in the beginning are answered, including who gets the HEA. An excellent novel to read.

This is a fantastic read!! The author did a wonderful job of developing the characters and the storyline. The one thing that never changed was that Lucas was totally in love with Elise. Elise had been gone on maternity leave and was returning to work earlier than planned. This meant she would have to bring Sophie to work with her for a few weeks. Lucas was the company corporate lawyer and was so-o-o in love, but they had not even been on a date yet! That was Lucas’s first objective. The story is more complex. This read had family drama galore on both sides, bumps in the road, missteps, work bullying, and danger. This book also showed the true heart of people, tenderness and love. It was an amazing read! It is so good you won’t want to put it down.

Hard to resist
This is a story about Lucas and Elise. They both work at Starr Industries. He’s a lawyer, and she’s a receptionist. She’s just returned to work after taking maternity leave. He’s very happy for her to be coming back to work because he’s had a crush on her for over a year.
There’s a lot of high emotion and drama in this book, as their mutual feelings develop, and are tested along the way. They’re sweet, funny and incredibly passionate! Some really bad people make a lot of serious trouble including threats, to make sure the two main characters don’t find their happily ever after – with or without each other. Supportive family and friends help support them along the way.
The wonderful, deep characters and their intriguing storyline really kept me interested the entire way through the book. I gave it four and half stars because I feel like I need more from this story. I really wasn’t ready for it to end, though the epilogue was wonderful. I’d definitely recommend this one!

Lucas never gave up
I love this series. Emelia knows how to write some dang good office romances and I am so glad Lucas finally gets his story. Lucas has been crazy about Elise for a long time and he has been there for her through thick and thin. He is going to protect her no matter what and that is super sexy. Elise is sweet and doesn’t deserve what happens to her. This story is so good strong characters with such chemistry and passion, through in drama and it makes for one heck of a book. Well worth all 5 stars and I was honored to received an arc copy and these opinions are all my own.

Another great story in the office affairs series.
I love Lucas, he knows what he wants and didn’t allow any distractions.
Elise is a wonderful lady that had a bad experience and swore off men but a look from our darling Lucas and the rest is history.
Emelia knows how to draw you in and keep you at the edge of your seat.
