Christy’s Review
I truly enjoy a good romantic suspense and the plot for Court of Lies was quite good. However, there were a few issues I had with the story and its characters.
I really wanted to like Brooke but found her to be rather naïve. It seemed to me that she has trouble thinking for herself as well as making decisions. The relationship between Brooke and her ex-husband was a bit odd.
At times, I found Brooke doing things that didn’t seem realistic where he was concerned. Ty, her ex-husband, is a possible suspect in the shooting and Brooke kept visiting him and putting herself at risk. Right from the beginning, I was not a big fan of Ty.
Brooke’s best friend Chloe has physic abilities and I found myself wondering why Brooke didn’t ask Chloe for help in solving the mystery of her shot her. Chloe is a great friend to Brooke and she supported her friend all through the book.
Scott. I really liked him. He loves Brooke and wants to do anything that will keep her safe. The chemistry between Brooke and Scott was convincing considering the circumstances of their situation. I found myself wanting them to come together and express their true feelings for each other. They do come together but the scene was a little bit awkward to me.
The sexual scenes are adult mainstream and are not overly explicit in detail which keeps the focus on the shooting. In the end, I was satisfied with the outcome. I think Ms Kunda crafted a great story and I look forward to reading future novels from her. If you like romantic suspense, Court of Lies is a good read.
