About the Book
As the youngest female judge in LA, Mahalia Jackson has her career goals carefully aligned. But when her mentor tells her she needs to break her shell of professionalism and show a little heart by volunteering for the Junior Jurors program, her plans begin to falter.
Attorney JD Cash heads up the Junior Jurors program, a project born out of his own troubled past. He leverages his position as an attorney to fulfill God's calling on his life, supporting the orphans and widows of society who have lost beloved husbands and fathers to TransNation's eighteen-wheeled time bombs roaming America's freeways.
Mahalia's rule—never date a lawyer—is a straitjacket that tightens when she presides over the case where JD serves as a young widow's attorney. But when an earthquake leaves JD and Mahalia in a vulnerable position, her resolve begins to waver and she finds herself opening up to the sad-eyed lawyer. But online, anonymous colleagues and adversaries attempt to destroy Mahalia’s reputation and career.
A legal drama threaded with romance, An Appearance of Impropriety will show readers that real love is worth the risk. (Goodreads)
My Thoughts
I have not read a legal drama in quite a while and sometimes it is nice to read something different! I really love Mahalia's character. She shines throughout this entire novel and we need more female characters like her! The legal stuff at times goes over my head but I felt like I was there in the thick of things. I love JD's backstory and how he grows throughout the pages. There are some tough topics brought up and the author handles them with grace but honesty. The romance is realistic and shows how flawed we are and how we can change and grow. Overall I enjoyed this story and I am looking forward to the next books this author writes.
Four stars.
