Bailed Out by Rebecca Zanetti
2nd book in the Anna Albertini Files series. Best read as part of the series and in order. Contemporary romance / women’s fiction. 2nd book has more romance than the first.
**Domestic abuse triggers**

Anna Albertini is a lawyer. Her investigation skills tend to get her in trouble. And she seems to often get beaten up. But she keeps going. Anna does tend to lead with her soft heart. Huge plus, her family support is wonderful and plentiful.

A serious woman in serious heels. Anna really likes her heels. They give her confidence. I guess I should say “serious intent”. There is a lot of humor in this book too.

Thoroughly enjoyed and looking forward to more of this series.

Excerpts:
“It wasn’t like we were infected with ghosts now”

“Clark perked up. “Smudging?” Apparently my partner in crime had a good sense of hearing because my grandma wasn’t that loud on the phone.
I put her on speaker. “Clark is here, Nana. He wants to know about smudging.”
“Oh, good. I was going to get your number from Anna, Clark. You must come to Silverville in the morning for a sage smudging and then some energy work. After what you’ve been through, we’re going to want to make sure nothing…clung after being spilled. The sage will cleanse you. It even has anti-bacterial properties, if you need a science based reason to visit me. What do you say?”
“Yes. Definitely. We’ll come and get smudged,” Clark burst out, the words tumbling over each other. “I have the day off and am supposed to golf with Sean in the afternoon but can be smudged all morning.”
I looked at him, unable to keep the surprise off my face.
He didn’t even look at me, his attention solely on my phone.
“Good. See you then.” Nana knew when to hang up when she was ahead.”
