Katherine A. Olson

Close Enough to Hurt by Katherine A. Olson

Intense, action-packed, riveting read – couldn’t put it down!

What I Liked:
* Dylan Truman: known by some as Lady Justice, owns Dark Horse Consulting, began her work righting wrongs after her older sister was terribly wronged in college, strong, resilient, independent, seeks justice for those who don’t get it through the legal system, cut herself off from her family, strong friendship with feelings of more for David.
* David Haas: computer expert, wealthy, part time collaborator with Dylan, brilliant, only son, martial arts training, strong friendship with Dylan and even stronger than friendship feelings for her that might or might not ever come to fruition, less willing to bend rules than Dylan is
* Rhys Morgan: a journalist that has researched to find out who Lady Justice might be, was saved on the playground by Dylan when they were in grade school, seems like a professional and a good man and reporter
* Gabrielle: Dylan’s sister, strong, survivor, psychologist, supportive, kind
* Dr. Chang: a client of Dylan’s that provides the perfect opportunity for Dylan to get justice for her client but also for Gabrielle as the same man did both women wrong
* Noah Rodrigo: Dylan’s hairdresser, friend, and confidant
* Yoon So Ah: potential bride for David who seemed like a genuinely nice woman – hope she finds her own happily ever after
* Being able to dislike/hate Brent Wilder and wish justice would be meted out before he could do more harm
* The plot, pacing, setting, character development, romance, and writing
* All of it really except…

What I Didn’t Like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like – especially Brent Wilder!
* Thinking about the harm and scars, physical and emotional, that evil doers leave behind
