BOOK REVIEW- LOVE OR JUSTICE- After stumbling into a deadly kidnapping, Laurie’s life is in grave danger, and it falls to US Marshal Dante Stark to keep her safe until she testifies against Kaimi Quamboa—assuming he can be captured. Dante knows he’ll lose his job if he becomes romantically involved with a witness… But when he has to comfort her through constant nightmares, he finds it nearly impossible to fight his attraction to the beautiful, strong young woman he is sworn to protect. Laurie feels it too, but aware she’s in a high-stress situation and that when the danger is past she’ll never see Dante again, she tries to ignore his easygoing smile and the security he offers. Laurie and Dante are forced to flee again… When Kaimi’s men descend on their hideaway, they escape to a second safe house, only to be tracked down there as well. Dante now knows there’s a mole inside the US Marshal Service, and the only thing left to do is disappear. Kaimi will never stop looking for Laurie, and if he’s caught, showing up to testify could be the last thing she ever does. With each choice as dangerous as the next, Dante and Laurie must confront the boundaries of what they’re willing to sacrifice, and which is more important… Love or Justice. AMAZON
OK, I had to set aside a little bit of disbelief in the beginning of the book. It had to do with the way Laurie got away from the kidnapping site. This man was a professional killer? Sure he was pretty confident that he would make sure she was dead soon. * Sigh. Now with that said, let's move on. I did like the rest of the book. At the first safe house we got to know the men who were part of the Marshal's service. The author did a good job of showing the danger of the assignment and some of the personalities of the people. I kept thinking, "oh please, don't let any of them get killed". Yeah, naive I know. As you might have guessed by the book blurb, there is a mole somewhere giving Kaimi information. And yes, although I guessed several times, each guess was WRONG! Good twist to who it actually was. The relationship between Laurie and Dante intensified, I kept wondering how this was going to end in a HEA. Well, it does but also with several twists and turns too. Laurie and Dante were good together and worked well together at times too. Laurie was much stronger than some people might have thought. She was tough when she had to be.
Just as a side note, Laurie was quite the protected witness. Number one, Dane often complained that she didn't follow instructions when it comes to staying protected. And Number Two- she really came up with some unexpected ideas when it came to helping those who were protecting her. She helped save someone else's life more than once. Each in an ingenious ways.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
