Julien Crofton is an ex-special forces private investigator. Julien helps abused woman besides is normal job and a private investigator. He seems specially attuned to seeing signs of abuse. Julien comes across as a protector type who while dangerous can ease an abuse victims easily.
The one thing that I found unrealistic was how easy Adara seemed to bounce back after the years of abuse at the hands of her uncle and cousin. I would have expected more of residual issues, like trust and maybe nightmares. However, Adara seemed to bounce back as if nothing bad happened. It was a bit odd.
I found this book well written with a unique twist of fairly traditional plot. The main characters and the secondary characters were realistic. While the ending was a little predictable, the journey the book takes the reader is gripping with several unexpected twists and turns. I had a hard time putting this book down. Overall, this was a very wonderful book and I hope to see these characters again in the future.
