About this listen

MMA middleweight world champion Jackson "Jax" Malone has just entered the fight of his life. Known for his viciousness in the cage, and his playboy ways out of it, Jax is arrested and charged with a brutal rape. The thought of spending decades in prison is one of the few things that actually scares the shit out of this cocky fighter.

Newly admitted attorney Page Davenport is willing to do anything it takes to get out from under her father's thumb and finally prove herself in his law firm - anything except represent the infamous miscreant, Jackson "The Mauler" Malone. Despite her protests, Page is powerless to avoid becoming the sacrificial lamb, the token female, who will be the face of the violent, angry neanderthal's defense team.

Jax is a bad boy with a temper, doing whatever the hell he wants in life while flipping the bird at all his haters. Page is the prim and proper rich debutante her parents want her to be. They've been pulling her strings, telling her what to do, where to go to school, what to wear, and even who she should marry.

Page and Jax struggle to work together, engaging in a knockdown drag-out fight for dominance. When they finally stop taking swings at each other, they're both surprised to realize that sometimes first impressions are completely wrong. In fact, opposites really do seem to attract. However, there are lines that attorneys and their clients can never cross if Page wants to keep her license to practice law.

Will Page risk it all and submit to the cocky fighter? Or will Jax's temper and jealousy prove too much for her to take on outside of the courtroom?

Either way, one thing is for sure - neither Page nor Jax are going down without a fight. In the end, the secret for them to find heaven may be to battle their way through hell first.

I like these stories. only complaint is the narrator dips off at the end of his sentences sometimes and you can't make out what word he is saying.

Cocky bad boy you can't help but fall for

This is my first Lane Hart book, and found that I could not stop reading it. The chemistry between Jax and Page from the start is intoxicating. Jax, and MMA fighter is accused of assault and rape. Page is chosen by her father to be lead counsel on the case since she is a beautiful woman(not for her brains). The sizzle between the two smolders bright while Page sets out to prove to her father and coworkers that she can provide competent counsel for Jax. Jax, though a bad boy has a sweet tenderness about him with the protective instinct that you cannot help but love. Page is a strong woman, and you will enjoy her spunk and ingenuity to get things done. I love the supporting cast of Jude, Jax's dad and Logan. This book will suck you in and totally entertain you.

Aaron Shedlock's raspy voice narrates this book. I love his performances, he always brings those bad boys to life, giving you a good visual picture of the hero. He is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Just started this series and honestly couldn't stop listening. I finished this book in one night. I laughed so hard I cried in some parts. Reading Jude's book next and think every book in this series needs to be added to here

4 "Skirting the Rules for Love"/5 Narration Stars!

4 "Skirting the Rules for Love" Stars for the story & 5 stars for the narration!

Jax is a sexy romance that brings to the forefront the ethical dilemma that arises when an attorney and his or her client become interested in one another for more than just legal representation. Furthermore, Jax also drives home the message that appearances can often be deceiving bringing us a story that reminds us that when judging a character you should always look beneath the surface, not just base your impression based on societal stereotypes or biases.

A few words of caution are in order though. As I know cheating is sometimes a trigger for romance readers, this story does involve cheating (even if the character that is being cheated on is definitely one that readers will not feel sorry for). Additionally, a number of the interactions between the hero and heroine most definitely violate legal ethical rules, and therefore would be unlikely to happen in the real world (for example, I can't imagine an attorney would go on vacation with a client with a pending case). Nonetheless this is romance fiction which frequently includes events that are unlikely to happen in the real world--and in my book that's ok, because most readers read to escape the real world for a little while and for entertainment and sometimes dramatic, nonplausible events are the most entertaining.

Page Davenport is a newly admitted attorney who in addition to proving her worth the normal way that every young associate must do, also has to prove her worth to her family, who have always seen her as second best. But Page is up to the challenge, and when the other attorneys at the firm she works for (which include her father and brother) are too busy for a criminal case involving an alleged rape by an MMA Middleweight World Champion (Jackson "Jax" Malone), Page jumps at the chance to prove her worth, even if she suspects she might be in a little over her head.

Jax, in turn, is not troubled by having this young, beautiful attorney defending him in this fight which could mean the difference between an acquittal and many years in jail. However, what does trouble him is her insistence that she can't entertain their mutual attraction due to ethical rules (rules which, by the way, may mean she loses her license to practice law even before her career has really begun). But when Page's existing relationship with the perfect man on paper (a man with White House ambitions) turns violent, it's Jax who is there for her. Under these circumstances, will Jax and Page be able to resist their mutual attraction? Moreover, can Page adequately defend Jax and ensure he's not convicted?

Having listened to and thoroughly enjoyed Aaron Shedlock's sexy, baritone renditions in the past, I knew I was in for a treat from a narration perspective from the start. And boy does Mr. Shedlock deliver! Nailing the voice of a cocky, MMA fighter to a T while at the same time being able to heighten his voice sufficiently to convincingly portray Page, Mr. Shedlock does a fantastic job of rendering distinguishable genuine voices for each of the characters in this story.

Mr. Shedlock's pacing is also perfectly suited towards maximum enjoyment by the listener. From his adjustment of the speed to adequately convey the mood of the scene to his ability to import emotion into his voice, everything about Mr. Shedlock's narration is tailored towards allowing the listener to sit back and enjoy the story.

All in all, while the story line is Jax is somewhat predictable, it is a fun, sexy listen with some angst to keep a romance listener entertained. Moreover, if you're going to give this title a try, I highly recommend that you listen to it as Mr. Shedlock's sexy rendition makes the story that much more alluring.
