Book Review: Just Dreams
by A.E. Albert
@aealbert23


Author: L.J. Taylor

Genre: Romance/Adult




Kathy is a hard nosed lawyer with her head in the game. She is more then ready when novelist and ex-marine, Charles Morgan, walks into her life with a case of a lifetime. However, Kathy soon realizes there’s more at stake than a loss blotting her pristine record. 

Enemies from every side are working against her and danger lurks around every corner. Now Kathy and Charles must race against time to solve the case before she loses her career and even her life. But through it all, she just might lose her heart.

No one really knows what they're made of until that moment crisis stares us in the face. I think what really defines us is what we're willing to sacrifice to do what’s right. Kathy had it all. But when she was faced with this decision, she risked everything to do what needed to be done. 

This is the message I received from Just Dreams. Was it for the love of a man? Maybe. But regardless, she is a worthy heroine and more to her than the woman you meet on the first page. I’d like to think there’s a little Kathy in all of us.

Yes, there is a romantic element to the story. But to me, the best romances are more than that. The plot is a fast paced and action packed. Around every corner there was a new development, which will make the reader keep turning the page.  
What I really liked was how the romance doesn't take away from the story. Everything has to do with the central plot.

The author's knowledge of the legal world was amazing, making the story convincing and believable.

The author created authentic characters. I was able to visualize their faces and even their movements. The internal dialogue adds to their believability, but wasn't overdone and drawn out.

The book’s dialogue was one of the best aspects of the story. The author skillfully used accents and phrases to enhance her character’s and story’s validity, without coming off as silly or over the top.  

Ultimately, what had me was how I felt about the characters. I know I’m reading the book for the purpose of reviewing it. I love it when I forget that and get lost in the characters, and become emotionally involved in what’s happening.
