( ) While at a convention, married Judge Juliana Brody makes a fatal mistake. She steps out of her good girl persona, and sleeps with a stranger. Later, when at trial, the stranger enters the room as a co-counsel. She is blackmailed to decide the case in favor of the defendant or her reputation as a judge will be ruined. Determined to fight back and protect her family and her reputation, Juliana enters into a dangerous world with murderers, financial thieves, and hackers. She enlists the help of her friend, but is very concerned as many in her world are killed. An exciting legal thriller. A one night stand turns into a potentially destructive event. The longer this story droned on, the more I read on. Pretty boring in the beginning, not so bad at the end. Complex and intense. Characters are believable--hubby reacts like you think he would. Juliana's mentor was very critical to the story Story drags a little in the middle. Some of the dialog in this book wasn’t realistic for me. I think that a woman who is a judge and has two teenage children would be a bit more fluent in current events. That being said, this would be a good beach read, interesting enough to keep you reading but not so engrossing that you won’t get in the water. no reviews | add a review
