WELL DONE!!,
By monica (CT, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Conflict of Interest (Kindle Edition)
First, let me say that for anyone concerned with the topic of sexual assault, that Jae(the author) has done an excellent job of showing the subject the sensitivity it deserves. Many times authors will exploit rape to drive a storyline. While it was the theme of the book, it was not depressing. It was handled in an uplifting way that portrayed Dawn(who was a sexual assault counselor, as a survivor and not a victim. With the help of Aiden(sex crimes det) she was able to not only bring her attacker to justice, but persue the budding romance that had started prior to her attack.
Overall, I REALLY enjoyed this book. It dealt with a senstive subject , and realistically portrayed a romance between two strong, professional women. She also follows this up with the book Next of Kin,a continuation, which I am in the process of reading. I hope that there is more to come from this author.

Crime Drama Romance -- What could be better?,
By J.M. Roberts "BookWorm" (Toledo, OH) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Conflict of Interest (Paperback)
In a book which starts like many "cop drama"s, cops arguing about attending a required training session, the way the main characters meet is a bit contrived. Once the reader gets past this point, however, the book takes off in an enjoyable, unpredictable fashion. I especially liked the way the author handles Dawn's "recovery" from rape. It is realistic and somewhat painful to "watch".
The characters in this book are enjoyable and fairly well developed, and inspite of the difficult subjects in the story, it is a compelling read. The main characters, Aiden and Dawn, are struggling with major psychological burdens, and yet they are easy to like and the reader is drawn into their lives. I especially like the realistic reactions of the secondary characters: Dawn's mother doesn't automatically like or embrace Aiden;and Dawn's "Aunt" Del is decidedly cool toward Aiden even though they are both cops and both love Dawn. Another secondary character, the Assistant District Attorney Kade Matheson, is a beautiful, powerful character who keeps everyone guessing and at arm's length. At the end of the book, I wanted to connect with the characters again, and was delighted to discover the author had just released the sequel, "Next of Kin".I recommend both books for an entertaining read. And for the techies among us, both are also available as ebooks.

Too Bi-Sexual,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Conflict of Interest (Paperback)
Jae's Backward to Oregon was wonderful. I looked forward to reading her earlier novel, Conflict of Interest. What a disappointment. I think it is a disservice to Lesbian readers to not plainly indicate on the jacket that this book is predominantly about bi-sexual women. The Sexual Assault Division detective has many one night stands, mostly with men. The Deputy District Attorney, too, alludes to a strong preference for men and none for women but remains ambiguous. While bi-sexuality is fine for some, I wish my protagonists to be Lesbian, which is why I buy Lesbian literature. The book is well written and the trial in the first half of the novel is spellbinding. The second half of the novel is slow, redundant, and tedious. For the expense, I would not recommend the investment.
