Oh, wow! Can you believe it’s almost Thanksgiving! Wasn’t it just Easter a month or so ago?
I don’t know how time gets away so quickly! But it does. 🙂
This week I’ve read Beyond Justice by Cara Putman, and boy, it was hard to put down. Here’s the back cover copy:
Hayden McCarthy is on track to become the youngest partner in her prestigious D.C. law firm . . . if the case she’s just been handed doesn’t destroy her first.
Hayden McCarthy knows firsthand the pain when justice is not served. It’s why she became an attorney and why she’s so driven in her career. When she’s assigned a wrongful death case against the government, she isn’t sure if it’s the lucky break she needs to secure a partnership—or an attempt to make sure she never gets there.
Further complicating matters is Andrew, her roommate’s distractingly attractive cousin. But Andrew’s father is a Congressman, and Hayden’s currently taking on the government. Could the timing be any worse?
The longer she keeps the case active, the higher the stakes become. Unknown enemies seem determined to kill the case—or her. Logic and self-preservation would indicate she should close the case. But how can she, when justice is still just beyond her reach?
I was drawn in from the first page of Beyond Justice. Drug cartels, politics, a legal battle…this story is ripped from the headlines. The characters are well-drawn, and I loved reading about the behind-the-scenes of what goes on in a big law firm.
Hayden McCarthy became an attorney to right the wrong done to her father, but she quickly learned there was no wrong done to him. This made her not trust any man, after all, if her father could fool her, her judgment had to be off. But then she meets Andrew Wesley, son of Congressman Wesely, soon to be Senator Wesley. No way is going to trust a D.C. playboy. But there is more to Andrew than she thought. The romance was a sweet addition to the suspense. And there was plenty of that.

I just finished Dangerous Illusions by Irene Hannon. Wow.
I’m starting Egypt’s Sister by Angela Hunt now.

Irene’s book is on my TBR table, Mindy! And I know Angela’s book will be great. Thanks for stopping by.
I also just read Beyond Justice and have respect for glimpses shown into the legal world. I also just finished an advanced reader copy of Susan Warren’s Troubled Waters–good stuff.

I want to read Susan’s book, Delores…hint, hint. Thanks for stopping by!
I’m reading Irma Joubert’s newest book, The Crooked Path. I loved her first two books and couldn’t wait to read this one!

Hi, Elizabeth and welcome to my blog! I haven’t read Irma’s books yet, but I’ve heard great things about her writing. Will get to them eventually.Thanks for stopping by!
I finished reading Erica Vetsch’s A Child’s Christmas Wish on Monday. The next day I started proofreading a book for Mountain Brook Ink. I’m still working on that but hope to finish today. I also read the memoirs of Susan James, a pastor’s wife who has overcome tremendous mental and emotional abuse by the grace of God. The book is titled A Journey to Grace. Yesterday day I started reading Carole Brown’s Knight in Shining Apron.

I’m trying to read lots of Christmas stories now. Most are LI books….Kathryn Springer’s Jingle Bell Babies was good….an oldie but I love her writing.
Author
Jackie, I must read a few of the Christmas books I have! Thanks for stopping by.
I’ve heard Cara’s books are outstanding so I must put them on my want-to-read list….which grows each day I think! 🙂
Just two books this week for me, guess it was a slow week or maybe I just got busy with other things to read my usual 4 or so books. I finished and reviewed Dangerous Illusions by Irene Hannon and then A Letter From Lancaster County by Kate Lloyd. I have many Love Inspired slated for next week 🙂
Happy reading everyone!
Author
Trixi, I have Irene’s on my TBR table, but I haven’t heard about Kate Lloyd’s. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for dropping by!
I’m excited to read Cara’s legal series. I’m currently reading the Sapphire Brides series by Tracie Peterson.
