About the book:
Riveting new series offers legal suspense with a romantic twist
In
the biggest case of her career, attorney Kate Sullivan is tapped as
lead counsel to take on Mason Pharmaceutical because of a corporate
cover-up related to its newest drug. After a whistleblower dies, Kate
knows the stakes are much higher than her other lawsuits.
Former
Army Ranger turned private investigator Landon James is still haunted
by mistakes made while serving overseas. Trying to forget the past, he
is hired by Kate to look into the whistleblower's allegation and soon
suspects that the company may be engaging in a dangerous game for
profit. He also soon finds himself falling for this passionate and
earnest young lawyer.
Determined
not to make the same mistakes, he's intent on keeping Kate safe, but as
the case deepens, it appears someone is willing to risk everything-even
murder-to keep the case from going to trial.
My review:
I found this story interesting because of the civil law angle. So many books focus on prosecuting criminals and this one looked at getting justice for families hurt by a corporation. I learned some interesting things about the process for that kind of case. Kate Sullivan was an admirable character, a strong Christian who desperately wanted justice for her clients but maybe too emotionally involved. Landon also had a strong sense of justice and took on too much blame for past mistakes, which then affected how he viewed his job now. I liked how they weren't perfect characters, with Kate dealing with depression and workaholic tendencies and Landon, his past. I also felt Kate was too naive, from not really thinking a certain person could do what they did to not being cautious enough even after being threatened. Sometimes she seemed to make stupid choices for someone so smart. There was some romance and some action. I liked how we get the viewpoints of Kate, Landon and also two people on the other side of the case, Ethan and Nicole. The dialogue and writing felt a little stiff to me. Overall, I did like it and I plan to read the next book in the series. I would recommend it if you like legal fiction.
