Unlawful Justice is one of those books that sticks with you for a long time. I had to stop reading a few times because its so emotional. The racial tension, the violence, and the emotional pain is all very real. Sometimes I felt that Liv was too naive. It bordered on annoying. However, it didn't ruin the book for me. Her and Grayson are interesting characters because they simply can't imagine how racist these people they had known forever were. While it would be easy to say "Oh come on! You had to know" I think its really honest. Truly you have no idea how some people feel deep down. You don't know what people are really capable of. How many times is there a major event and people go on the news and say things like "I would have never expected this from him/her". So, while their naivety is a bit annoying at times, it is because we, as the reader, are able to see the bigger picture. So, don't go into Unlawful Justice unless you are prepared for some heavy, real topics. Trigger Warning: A character is raped. While the rape is not described, the event is brutal and might be difficult for some to read.
POV: Dual with occasional POV from mystery characters who are revealed later
Tears: Oh yeah...
Triggers: Rape
Cliffhanger: no… (mehr)

I wanted to love it, but I was expecting more from this book. Maybe my expectations were to high, but I couldn't wait for this book after I read Because You're Mine. Based on their interactions in BYM, I thought they'd have off the charts chemistry, but I wasn't really feeling it in this one. I thought Katy was a bit of a pushover, and she definitely let Archer off the hook too easily. The whole ex-wife thing seemed a little over-the-top and unreal. Archer's wishy-washy behavior/thoughts in the book drove me nuts, and then he just up and decides he's over it and finally divorcing his wife?! I don't see him letting go that quickly. And the whole story seemed a little anti-climactic.… (mehr)

I loved Holden and Maddie. It's been a while since I read a book where the two MCs had so much chemistry, and how could I not love a book that mentions my favorite car ever: Eleanor. I keep trying to talk my bf into getting one without much success. Anyway, Holden was amazing. I loved how persistent he was even though Maddie was being b!tchy and refusing to admit there was anything between them. I did get annoyed with her when she refused to talk to him after he dropped the proposal on her. I know it seemed a little fast and definitely a lot crazy, but she could have just talked to him about it and said it's too soon but someday. She just kept making everything about them having separate lives, her in Boston, and him in her home town, ignoring the fact that he had said he'd move to Boston to be with her. Communication people! And they both made me mad when she showed up at his place. I get her jumping to conclusions, but she should have talked to him, and he should have just told her whether she wanted to hear it or not. Katy telling Maddie she was being a stupid b!tch, though... hysterical and so true! I felt like I was on the emotional rollercoaster with the characters, and I loved every second of it! I'm anxiously awaiting Katy and Archer's story!… (mehr)
