Skylar Crosby knows betrayal. She knows the deep stab when
those closest to you deceive your fragile trust. And she knows what it's like
when your secrets cost you everything––including the love of your life.
Now kidnapped, scared, and alone, Skylar has no reason to
believe in her rescue. Not when she can still see the look on Brandon's face
when she smashed his heart to pieces. Even if Skylar can get out of her
physical prison, can she escape the cage created by her guilt?
Brandon Sterling spent the last fifteen years desperately
trying to reinvent himself: as a lawyer, a businessman, and now a candidate for
public office. But as these daily stressors mount alongside a dangerous threat
to his family and loved ones, the old Brandon reemerges: a ruthless hoodlum
who'd rather use fists than brains to solve his problems.
Now, when the one he loves most is taken, can Brandon move
past her deceit in order to find her? And if he does, will Skylar still want
the man he's become in order to protect her?
This is the third book in the Spitfire Trilogy. Readers will
enjoy it most if they have already read Legally Yours (Book 1) and Legally Mine
(Book 2).
My Review of Legally Ours:
At the start of Legally Ours we pick up with Skylar being kidnapped by Messina and Brandon trying to get to her before Victor caused her any harm. This is all coming off of Brandon finding out about Skylar having an abortion.
Brandon has started his campaign for mayor and doesn't need any more drama in his life. He is suffering from a type of PTSD and/or anxiety disorder. Against Skylar and everyone's wishes he decides to handle it in his own ways.
Can Brandon and Skylar ever get back to the way they were? Can they overcome the opinions and judgments of those around them? There are so many obstacles in their way as the trial for Victor Messina looms.
Legally Ours is written from Skylar's point of view. Nicole French is a very detail oriented writer and likes us to have all of the tools we need to develop that mental picture while reading. I could have used a bit more resolution in dealing with Brandon's issues throughout the book. I also found myself feeling sympathetic towards Skylar and all of the stress and humiliation she was put through, but had no way of fighting back against those people. I absolutely hated Corey, I also hate politics, so maybe that's why.
I really enjoyed reading Legally Ours and found myself consumed with it. I just was missing a bit of answers where I needed them, but that is just the way my brain works.
4.5 stars for Legally Ours!

Nicole French is an East Coast/West Coast hybrid creature,

not writing or teaching about writing, she is hanging out with her family,
playing soccer with the rest of the thirty-plus crowd in Seattle, or going on
dates with her husband. In her spare time, she likes to go running with her dog,
Greta, or practice the piano, but never seems to do either one of these things
as much as she should.
