I freely chose to review this ARC and I'm hooked on this author as she kept me spellbound throughout the story! I loved how determined Charles Morgan was when he went after a global dirty contractor that cost him his wife and unborn child when their employee recklessly plowed into his wife's car and I cheered when the feisty attorney, Kathy Brooks. took on his case like a bulldog as Peachtree Consulting was a bully and she hated bullies!

Just Dreams

Attorney Kathy Brooks takes on the Case of Charles Morgan JR. His wife was killed in an accident. This is a high profile case against a government contractor, Peachtree Industries. But Charles doesn't want to just win, he wants to destroy them. Revealing their secrets, and exposing Peachtree for what they really are. But this comes at a cost. They will stop at nothing , blackmail, kidnapping and murder. Soon Kathy's life is in danger and she is faced with some tough choices.

Kathy is likable, she is smart, savvy and knows her job well. Kathy puts herself in a vulnerable situation, which makes her flawed and real as well. As for Charles I am not sure how I feel about him. At times I liked him, others I didn't. But that makes him real and the story more interesting. The plot is original, yet believable.

There was a good mix of suspense, drama, legal action, thrills and a splash of romance. The story moves at an even pace, with enough details to bring you into the story. A perfect blend for an intriguing story. I like that in a book. Overall, I enjoyed Just Dreams and feel those who like legal thrillers will enjoy it as well. I also found the cover appealing and fitting to the story.… (más)

A fast paced legal thriller with a little bit of romance mixed in. The characters are like-able and well developed.
Very little drama takes place inside the courtroom. Instead, Kathy has to fight to get the case to trial at the same time as dealing with all kinds of machinations by opposing council, both legal and illegal. One thing she can't fight though is her attraction to her client. Charles, however is not against breaking a few rules himself which only complicates matters. Kathy's career is put in jeopardy when she is caught in a compromising situation. The government contractor will stop at nothing to quash the case and before long Kathy's hard work is spiraling apart a midst blackmail and dead witnesses. However, the duo refuse to give in and they use all resources available to them to find a winning conclusion. As the contractor gets desperate there is a rush against time to save lives in a suspense filled ending.

An impressive debut novel. Immensely enjoyable, I liked this book a lot. There was so much action it was difficult to put it down. The characters were great. I particularly enjoyed the supporting characters, especially Kathy's sister. I await her story in eager anticipation.… (más)
