I was excited to read another book by Cara Putnam. This was my third or fourth book of hers, and I've always loved her warm, conversational style, and her likeable characters. I was not disappointed!
Delayed Justice tells the story of Jaime Nichols, a lawyer who is finally able to face the abuse she suffered as a child at the hands of her uncle. As she presses the long-awaited charges, she is faced with both the emotional toil, and the threats of an unknown stalker. Even as she works to make sure her own uncle is brought to justice, she fights to help another little girl in a similar situation.
Chandler Bolton is a retired veteran who through a series of circumstances, finds himself, along with his trained emotional support dog, Aslan, working alongside Jaime to aid the little girl who was going through something so similar to Jaime's past. Together they support young Tiffany, as well as work to see to it that Jaime is safe, and that her uncle finally faces up to what he's done.
One of the things that I love about Putnam's books is that there is always an element of romance woven throughout the book, without making it the sole focus. The real focus of the book is the story, and the growing sparks between Jaime and Chandler are natural and organic.
As always, a nice suspenseful story, a lovely budding friendship, and gently told testimony of faith.
