I am a big fan of this author and am never disappointed after I read her books. I loved the way she developed Emma into a sensuous and capable of being loved heroine. All she needed in her life was meeting Evan and learning to let him in. A great story!

FAN FREAKING TASTIC!!!!! I absolutely loved this book. EVERY sexy, loving word. I love reading about rock stars, and watching them become human, and falling in love. We, as a society, seem to put them on pedestals and I am no different. Yes, I know this is a work of fiction, but the way Sawyer Bennett creates her stories, make you see the lives of the characters that she creates. She does this damn well too.
This is a story of a woman blooming and coming into herself. She grows into herself while on tour with her boss’s nephew. Watching them become friends first and become lovers. Watching Emma overcome her insecurities, and start to believe how much Evan loves her, and only her.
I became a fan of Sawyer Bennett when I started reading her Cold Fury series, and have been a fan ever since.
If you love Rockstar romance, this book is definitely for you, so go hit that one-click button and happy reading.
I was gifted with a copy of this wonderful, extremely HOT (you may need a ) in exchange for my honest opinion. You really need to read this outstanding book.
Thank you for reading my review.

5 star Review Sexy Lies and Rock & Roll by Sawyer Bennett
A stand-alone romantic comedy from the talented Sawyer Bennett and in my opinion she has another winner on her hands.
This is the story of Knight & Payne attorney Emma Peterson and rock star Evan Scott. Emma is dissatisfied wither her job until Midge Payne her hard hitting and at times eccentric boss gives her a job to represent Evan.
Evan and Emma could not be more opposite; however neither of them takes into consideration the almost instantaneous attraction they feel for each other. Emma is prim and proper and Evan is a typical rock star with a heart of gold, which is also used to getting his own way. What Evan wants he goes after and poor Emma has no idea what she is in for.
Evan wants Emma to “let her hair down” and have fun and manipulates her into joining his tour so that she can continue to help him with the numerous legal issues he has.
But will it last? Can their blossoming love survive the legal battles that face Evan?
I always enjoy reading a Sawyer Bennett novel, her characters; particularly the women are so real. This book is no exception and I really loved the development of all the characters, particularly Evan and Emma.
There was smoking hot romance, humour and on occasion a little sadness involved and as usually happens, I didn’t want this one to end. I also must say that I loved Emma’s dog Sirius.
This is a quirky, fund and totally hot read which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I read this book because I love rocker stories and I love the very talented Sawyer Bennett but this book gave me so much more than I expected. I was hooked from the first page and it just kept getting better and better.
This book is about Evan a newly discovered rock star and Emma who has just finished law school. When Evan is pulled in for questioning over one of his ex band mates death his attorney aunt sends Emma to represent him. What Evan or Emma can't work out is why her she is hardly experienced in criminal law but as the book goes on you will see there was a method in his aunts madness.
The story is written in duel POV and it really worked, all of the characters in this book are fun and loveable even the jerk Tyler who is supposedly a friend. I loved the story, I loved how the book was written but I am sorry this is a standalone I really hope Sawyer Bennett decides to give us more from the sidekicks in this book.
I was given this book by the publisher through NetGalley for an honest review

There is something about Evan Scott that will make you fall in love with him from the start. It is not just that he is a Rock Star with a sexy voice, it is not just that body you want for feel up, it's also his sweet demeanour that when he sees Emma Peterson turns so so sexy!
Evan has made it big, releasing his first solo indie cd and now has some past band members wanting a piece of the action, even from above. So now he needs some legal advice to clear these matters up and to also scrutinise through the many record label deals that are swamping him. Emma is the said lawyer to help Evan, who can't get her out of his mind. These two opposites must go on tour, and work together over the next month. Then Emma is free to go to her dream job, and Evan the rest of the tour. But what transpires in that month will have you enthralled and fascinated to see if they can not only do it, but live with her massive dog on a tour bus.
I just love everything Sawyer writes. She has the knack for humor and angst and playfulness between the characters that doesn't go over board. Evan is confident in his music, but still have a lot to learn, which was refreshing. Emma was a prim and proper woman, just trying to do her job without getting distracted, but much to her delight, learnt a lot from Evan. The dual POV is always a favourite of mine, I love knowing what they are both thinking. Even the other characters were adorable - Red in particular. Absolutely recommend this book.

Another great book for Sawyer Bennett, however it wasn’t what I expected. I liked it, but I didn’t love it. I know that is odd for me, because I love her writing. I can’t put into words why it didn’t do it for me. I liked the characters, but Emma’s insecurities got old after a while. It was well written and the story was good, but I could predict what was coming.
This is a fun sexy read and everyone reads the same book differently, so please take a chance and read it.

Sweet quick read

Sexy Lies and Rock and Roll is a funny, sweet, rock and roll romance. Evan, your "typical" rock star finds himself in trouble and needing an attorney. Instead of helping her nephew out herself, Midge turns to Emma for assistance. Emma is in her first year as a lawyer and absolutely HATES her job! She likes to work in a stuffy, controlled environment and would love to work in contracts. So when Midge assigns her to a case, she is shocked.
Evan is intrigued by the stuffy, uptight lawyer his aunt sent to help him. So much so, he hires her to be his lawyer as he starts his first tour. The more they work together and get to know each other, the harder it is to not give into their physical attraction. Tyler, Evan's friend and manager, doesn't care for Emma. Tyler never makes snide comments in front of Evan, but whispers unkind words in Emma's ear every chance he gets. It doesn't help that Emma is insecure and lacks confidence in her beauty and work as an attorney. When Tyler sets up Evan to make it look as though he's cheating on Emma, Emma runs. Tyler's true identity is finally revealed, but the damage may be too great to overcome.
I really enjoyed this novel. I did think it was a little slow in the middle. I had a feeling Tyler would do something to jeopardize Evan and Emma's relationship, but it took awhile before he made his move. I loved how the novel ended though! I loved that Evan finally realized Emma gave him her opinion, something she'd previously refused to do. I loved how Evan teased Emma into blushing all the time. Absolutely adorable! I also loved Midge! Lastly, I really liked that Evan was not your "typical" rock star. He was grounded and didn't let fame go to his head! I recommend this novel for those who enjoy Rock star romances. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own opinions.

Emma is a straight-laced, button-downed 1st year lawyer who isn’t happy unless she has her nose stuck in the fine print of a contract. Evan is a musician who’s just recently found fame and fortune and now finds himself under arrest as well as being sued. Evan needs a lawyer and just his luck, his aunt is the best there is in Raleigh. When Evan calls for help, he certainly doesn’t expect to have the prim and proper Emma show up to help get him out of jail. But he sees something in her, something she doesn’t even know is there, and he’s intrigued.
Evan wants to see what he can bring out of his new lawyer and sets his mind on finding out just what’s hiding in those khaki Bermuda shorts. Emma finds touring with Evan less distasteful than she expected and from there a relationship is forged.
Sawyer Bennet is one of my rare One-Click authors, and as always, weaves a beautiful tale for us with a number of hot sex scenes thrown in for good measure. I enjoyed this book and it was well written, like all of her books. I recommend you read this book to find out whether the stuffy lawyer and the edgy rock star can find a middle ground and live their happily ever after.

SEXY LIES AND ROCK & ROLL by Sawyer Bennett is a stand alone, contemporary adult, romance story line focusing on rock star Evan Scott, and attorney Emma Peterson.
Told from dual first person points of view (Evan and Emma) SEXY LIES AND ROCK & ROLL follows the building relationship between prim and proper attorney Emma Peterson, and sexy rock star Evan Scott. When Evan finds himself in several legal dilemmas Emma Peterson is the attorney sent to represent our hero. With his upcoming indie tour and the potential for some serious PR, Evan hires straight laced and inexperienced Emma Peterson as part of his legal team and personal consultant. What ensues is the growing love between two people whose lives will fall apart when jealousy and greed of another kind builds in the background.
The relationship between Evan and Emma is one of immediate attraction but Emma isn’t willing to cross the professional line. Evan has wanted Emma since the first day they met but sitting in a jail cell wasn’t conducive to a relationship start. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive without the use of over the top graphic sexual text and imagery.
We are introduced to Emma’s boss Midge Payne, as well as Emma’s father Cary Peterson; tour bus driver Red; Evan’s manager Tyler Hannity; and Emma’s larger than life puppy Sirius.
The world building focuses on the relationship between Evan and Emma, as well as the behind the scenes struggles of an indie musician making it big in a world where super stars and contracts collide. I had hoped for a little more information about Evan’s early years that have affected his relationship with the parental units but he does have a support system in place. And I struggled with the heroine’s actions as it pertained to an event that completely upended the couple’s relationship-her arrogance and pride exacerbated an already volatile situation. Emma’s handling of the situation was immature and childish.
SEXY LIES AND ROCK & ROLL is a story of opposites attract. The premise is enjoyable and entertaining: the characters are vibrant and energetic; the romance is flirtatious and captivating. Sawyer Bennett will add another charming and delightful story line to your romance collection

Emma Peterson likes her quiet life well enough, but the one thing she wishes she could change is her current job. She loves being a lawyer, but she's not happy doing the things being asked of her as an associate at the firm where her father is a partner. When her boss, Midge, calls her in and gives her a special assignment, she can't fathom why she would be the one being assigned to representing one of the hottest new rock stars to hit the charts in some time.
Evan Scott has made a huge splash as a one of the hottest new solo artists, but when he is suddenly in the position where he could be facing major legal issues, he starts to wonder where his life is going to go next. When Emma shows up at the police station to represent him, he's grateful for her assistance, but more than that, he's completely intrigued by the plain, reserved lawyer.
Evan is getting ready to go on our and he decides he needs someone who can handle publicity and contracts, so he makes Emma an offer that she doesn't refuse. She's going to go on tour with him and not only does this give him an edge where his business affairs are concerned, Evan will have the opportunity to explore the woman who has caught his eye.
The chemistry between Evan and Emma is evident and as they spend more time together and Evan is able to pull Emma out of her shell more and more things ignite in a way that neither of them expected. Will Emma be able to adjust to live on the road and trust that Evan really wants to be with her even though he could have anyone he wants? And, will Evan be able to avoid the pitfalls of his new lifestyle and people that might not have his best interests in mind?
Sawyer Bennett has done a fantastic job creating a set of characters you want to root for. Not only the main characters, but he supporting characters as well. I enjoyed taking a trip into the world of rock and roll and it was definitely worth the adventure!

Another fantabulously fun and sexy read by Sawyer Bennett!
All Emma Peterson ever wanted after graduating law school and passing the bar was to hide behind a stack of boring contracts. In order to get her dream job though, she must first help out with a lawsuit and a few music contracts pertaining “the” Evan Scott. Rock God and general pain in her derriere. Can she survive going on tour with him long enough to get the job she always thought she wanted or the rock star change her outlook?
Fame and fortune is not all it’s cracked up to be. At least not for Evan Scott. Of course he loves that his music is being recognized by hoards of adoring fans, but the grievances by greedy ex-band mates, the pressure from big record labels and general lack of honesty can really get to a guy. So when the uninterested, goodie two shoes Emma is put in his path by his meddling aunt (Friction series) he not only takes notice he sets out to get her counsel and her heart.
Sawyer Bennett books have become a staple in my reading library. Her stories range from sports to erotic romances, but they all have one thing in common, they’re always a pleasure to read. This lighthearted, sweet and sexy, opposites attract romance about a charismatic rock star and unyielding lawyer hit the perfect spot for me.
Even though Evan doesn’t shy away from some of the perks of his celeb status he’s humble and genuine, and completely beguiled by miss prim and proper’s own authenticity and hidden fiery persona, so he sets out to crack her shell and push her limits. And while Evan is showing her how to be adventurous Emma, despite her insecurities, is sticking by him and looking out for his best interests.
They both have a hearts of gold and as they get to know one another while in the confines of a tour bus, the push and pull between them is fun, flirty and hot. Add a dash a drama and a loveable ginormous puppy and you get a delightful and appealing read that will make you smile, laugh and blush.
Sexy Lies and Rock & Roll is standalone contemporary romance by Sawyer Bennet. Written from both points of view with a happy ending.

I'm a big fan of Sawyer Bennett, so anything she writes I'm going to read... This was a fun, fast read. I rate it at 4.5 stars-- the reason I didn't give it 5 stars is, there were a few places in the story that should have been given a little more time and detail-- I know that's vague, but I don't want to give any spoilers away for those who haven't read it.
I really enjoyed the characters, Emma Peterson is a bookworm attorney and Evan Scott is a bad boy rockstar. When they meet he doesn't think much of her until she shows him she's not a pushover. Evan in infatuated with Emma and will do what it takes to see what's beneath the surface of the bookworm attorney. The strife is predictable, you can see it coming with the attitude of the characters, though I thought more would come from it, and I thought things may go a little differently, the end result was still the same.
The book goes very quickly, and is easy to get into. I really enjoyed it and look forward to the author's next book.

"Sexy Lies and Rock & Roll" is written by Sawyer Bennett. It is a stand-alone book. It features rock star Evan Scott and attorney Emma Peterson.
There are just no words to describe how obsessed and in love with this story I am! It was SO good! What drew me in to Sawyer's work originally was her Legal Affairs series, so it's always fun to read when one of her stories deals with the legal field.
Evan needs some help. He immediately contacts his Aunt Midge, who is a co-founder at a big law firm. Midge is tied up in work, so she gets Emma to represent him.
Evan and Emma have instant chemistry. Sure, they got off on the wrong foot, but that didn't sway Evan. He likes her! She's a good attorney, and she doesn't see him as just a celebrity. She's feisty and can hold her own. So what does Evan do? He convinces his aunt that he wants to hire Emma on other matters. (i.e. the lawsuit his former band members have against him and to read over contracts from the record companies that want to sign him). But Evan is about to go on his first big tour. He needs Emma to go on the road with him for 3 months. She only reluctantly accepts after he agrees to let her bring her Newfoundland puppy, Sirius, on the road as well. Also, it didn't hurt that after this tour ends, Midge will help her get her dream job.
Now, this is where the fun begins! Without giving too much away, you see how Evan charms Emma. She's all work, but he convinces her to have some fun and attend his concerts. Evan and Emma are scorching HOT together! Much like other books written by Sawyer Bennett, there's also witty banter and funny scenes all throughout this book. It provided a lot of entertainment!
Sawyer Bennett can do no wrong! "Sexy Lies and Rock & Roll" is a definite must-read! This is a stand-alone book, but I would absolutely love it if Sawyer can re-visit Evan and Emma one day! They were just so fun to read!

What can I say? Another Sawyer Bennett winner. Evan Scott is one hot rocker and Emma Peterson is a straight-laced attorney who needs to build her confidence both as a lawyer and as a woman!! Evan is just the man to do both.
I liked how we got the brief story of how they met and then the delicious re-introduction a few weeks later. Evan realizes almost too late that not everyone will have his back and fame and money are more important to others than they are to him. Emma is a jewel in the making and the build-up of their romance is sweet and swoony.
The sex is HAWT!! There is a little of everything - romance, hot sex, betrayal, and renewal. Evan and Emma are a perfect complement to each other. You'll become a fan of Indie rock stars after this read!

I generally don't gravitate towards Rock Star books, however, I'm a big fan of Sawyer Bennett so of course I signed up to read it and I have to say I was not at all disappointed.
The story took off from the get go and was an absolute page turner. Evan was your typical Rock Star, living life to the full and was your typical ladies man, however, everything is turned on its head when he meets his new lawyer, straight laced, Emma. They had great chemistry and really heated up the pages. The story itself was great, yes, I knew where the story was going to go but it was well written, sexy and a had a real good dose of humour throughout.
This was a nice easy read that I read in one sitting which left me with a big smile. Sexy Lies and Rock & Roll was a really enjoyable stand alone story and one I would happily recommend.
I was provide with a review copy of this book from the Publisher; there was no inducement or obligation.

Another great read from Sawyer Bennett, not only is the sexy musician one to swoon over but Emma is someone that I would love to be friends with. Evan and Emma are as different as two can be but it's the differences that pull them together like two magnets.
I loved the quiet, straight-laced, prim and proper, yet a bit quirky Emma, she was a great heroine and just the person that up-and-coming indie rock star Evan needs in his life. Emma isn't happy with the law firm she is with, she wants to be a contract lawyer and has been sending her resume out to various firms unbeknownst to her father whom she works with, so when her boss tells her that she is to go and help out Evan Stone, who has been falsely accused of murder, she really isn't happy. Little did she know that this chance meeting would change her world!
When Evan first meets Emma he sees a fire in her eyes and knows instantly that he wants more than a professional relationship with her so he makes a deal with her, for Emma to come on tour with him for one month in exchange for something that she really, really wants, now can he charm her pants off in less than a month?
This was a sweet and sexy read, it had some angst, and you get a HFN/HEA ending!!! I would recommend this book to anyone that has read Sawyer Bennett's books before, and if you are looking for a new author this would be a great introduction in the world of Sawyer Bennett Books.
***I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book that I requested from the author through Netgalley***

This was absolutely great storytelling from beginning to end and I thoroughly enjoyed every word! Evan Scott is an indie rock phenom who is heading out on his first tour but has some legal problems and needs a lawyer. Since his aunt is Midge Payne (yes, from another series) and the first year law associate she sent to him when he was brought in for questioning at the beginning of the book intrigues him, he knows who he wants. Emma Peterson hates her job and thinks she really wants to be a contract lawyer and work on research but to get that job she has to go on tour with Evan for a month and work as his lawyer/publicist. These two are as different as night and day but there are sparks from the beginning. Evan sees the passion smoldering underneath the "mom clothes" Emma wears and has deemed it his mission to bring that out. I loved this book from beginning to end, through the misunderstanding and even the snarky manager who is only out for himself.
I highly recommend this one and it is a standalone so you don't need to read any other books to know what is going on.

A sexy rock star and an attorney who would have figured. But let's just say it wasn't all rose's in the beginning and the end. Can Emma let go of her dreams of contract .... boring ... law as Evan says to let her heart go and feel what he feels.
Or will life as we know it being a rock star have Emma unsure if she can trust Him with her heart and her brains to get all of his contract deals done in the 30 day time limit she gave him on the road or will her heart break before that.
Evan is not your typical rock star he I'd down to earth in more ways than one and he has one person to thank for that...his Aunt Midge. But we all not the hard nose sexy Midge Payne, she would never let Evan act anything other than a gentlemen especially to a daughter of a man that is breaking down the walls around her heart !!
I love seeing old characters from different series books along with new characters ... cross over !! This is a fast pace exciting new story !! LOVED IT !!
Evan will have you at hello ....

Emma Peterson's life is in a rut. She is working at Knight & Payne as a lawyer but is not enjoying her work. Her dad, a partner in the firm, got her the job so she doesn't want to disappoint him, plus she is scared as hell of her boss, Midge Payne. Imagine her surprise when Midge calls her into her office to assign her a new case...for Evan Scott, indie rock god, who also happens to be her nephew!
The first meeting between Emma and Evan was awesome. Smart mouthed Evan was able to rile up sweet, quiet, reserved Emma....he just knew she had some hidden passion looking to be unfurled. When Evan is in need of a lawyer again, he decides he wants Emma to be that lawyer. He convinces her to come on tour with him for 30 days to work while they are on the road. This time was great. I just loved how they played each other and how Evan eventually wore her down. I really enjoyed how they each brought out the best in each other.
Just as their lives were progressing in such a great direction...BOOM! A major roadblock! I really enjoyed the path these two had to take to get back together and their happy ending was great! Evan was a great guy, even though he is a rock star, he was so genuine and down to earth. Emma was very likeable and just in need of direction in her life which she finally found in Evan. Overall, I really enjoyed this story! Great read!
