Perspective

It's the last day of 2017.  I've been thinking about that statement for the past hour and it simply astounds me.  How could the last 364 days just flown by me?

I'm also thinking about my word for the year--PERSPECTIVE.  God has taught me a lot this year about this word--many lessons I would have rather avoided, but combining the bad with the good--I know these are things  I needed to learn.

Looking at all of the changes that have happened this year--boyfriend, promotion at work, moving work locations due to promotion, travel, serious debt accumulation, clutter--I'm surprised that I'm still able to lift my head.  Thankfully, by looking at each issue separately, I've been able to gain a greater perspective for life and the changes I need to make going forward.  (I'm keeping the boyfriend, but working towards getting rid of the debt and clutter.)

I know this is such a serious post for the end of the year, but since I was remiss in actually posting on how I was doing with my word this year, I figured I should give you something.

I hope you all have a wonderful new year--Full of blessings and the wonder that is life.  See you next year!

About the Book:

Riveting new series offers legal suspense with a romantic twist

In the biggest case of her career, attorney Kate Sullivan is tapped as lead counsel to take on Mason Pharmaceutical because of a corporate cover-up related to its newest drug. After a whistleblower dies, Kate knows the stakes are much higher than her other lawsuits.

Former Army Ranger turned private investigator Landon James is still haunted by mistakes made while serving overseas. Trying to forget the past, he is hired by Kate to look into the whistleblower's allegation and soon suspects that the company may be engaging in a dangerous game for profit. He also soon finds himself falling for this passionate and earnest young lawyer.

Determined not to make the same mistakes, he's intent on keeping Kate safe, but as the case deepens, it appears someone is willing to risk everything-even murder-to keep the case from going to trial.

Dynamic Uno here:   Murder, suspense, and a love connection--count me in!  Deadly Proof starts off with high intensity action and drama that doesn't stop until the last page. 

I was drawn in by the main character, Kate, as she rallied for justice for her victims.  As a lawyer, rather than take the bait and blow off the case underhandedly, she followed the rules and did everything above board on the case. (Lawyers and honesty? What a concept!) This not only gave me a better picture into how the justice systems works, but also made me respect her integrity and made me care about her and the craziness surrounding the case.  I especially liked how honest and open she was about how God has used her wayward past to make her into the compassionate woman she is in the story.  You can see His love in her actions and I love it when the characters live out their faith.

Deadly Proof is the first book in the Atlanta Justice series and I can't wait to read the others!  If you enjoy legal thrillers with a bit of romance, this is the book for you!

Let me know what you think and Happy Reading!
