Legal Tender by Shae Sanders
3.0
Another fun installment in the On the Clock series. This one was an age gap romance which made the storyline really interesting. 3.5 Stars
Legal Tender focuses on Nakima and Cordell who are working together to investigate the sex tape that Star and Lennox made in the previous book. Nakima is the HR manager for the company while Cordell works as an attorney. It is clear from the beginning of the novel that the two have a strong attraction to each other; however, Cordell is young enough to be Nakima's son. Honestly, I really enjoyed their sexual chemistry. There was just enough angst there to keep me intrigued in where the story was going to go. However, one of the major hiccups was Nakima's character development. She was extremely annoying in some parts of the novel. I didn't like the way that she constantly compared Cordell to her sons; it made things awkward and I'm surprised that it didn't push Cordell away. I also wasn't a fan of the relationship that she had with her ex (he was married by the way). He was controlling and disrespectful for someone who was supposed to have a spouse of his own. Nevertheless, I really really enjoyed Cordell. He was fun, confident, and really respectful to Nakima. Even when she kept going hot and cold with him he never really gave up on her. Their steamy scenes were great. So while this wasn't my favorite couple in the series, I did enjoy the writing and it was nice to see an age gap romance.
