Justice

Justice is one jacked up book that hurt me to even see what the next page would hold. Jack was the up most perfect book boyfriend I wanted nothing more but for him to be happy. Brooklyn gah I don't know how I felt about her and I still haven't came to a conclusion of how I want to. I think this book was a great read, but you will feel heartbreak deep within. Emily Conrad wrapped her way thru a world of heartache but landed a perfect landing with Justice.

Justice was as very hard and very serious for me to go into - the book has real subject matters - serious subject matter that many women go through and many men are going though also and with having to sort of dealing with whether they are aware of it or not but if they are Christians like those in the book. In the book GOD takes care of those involved and HE guides and takes care of the situation on all ends. HE also takes vengeance - like in the Scripture where it says "Vengeance is mine saith the LORD". I would not want to be on the other end of that would you? In this story this goes through a lot more than you know, right now trust me , way more and she has GOD, that is how she is making it through it all - this is one to read if you are into a very serious book.

I enjoyed "Justice" by Emily Conrad. Jake and Brooklyn are good friends and Jake expects to marry her one day. But then he finds out that she is pregnant and she won't say who the father is. She says she will never marry. Can Jake and Brooklyn overcome all that is against them. There is danger and a mystery. Good read! I plan to read more from Ms. Conrad.

I received this book from NetGalley and all opinions are my own.

A powerful novel about faith! A very relatable story with points for everyone. A story about the judgement others may have and the truth of a situation. Justice may sometimes be slow in our eyes but God always has the final word. Highly recommended!

This story deals with a difficult issue and shows how gossip and judgement can really hurt people. It also shows how keeping the focus on God and trusting Him will help you persevere through and bring you out on the other side stronger. God can use any situation for His glory.

I hurt for Brooklyn, I hated the she felt so ashamed and felt like she had to go through this alone when she was innocent. But thankfully she had people around her who showed her she didn’t have to be alone and supported her. Her faith in God helped her move forward and she found that forgiveness gave her a peace she needed. Her and Jack have been friends forever, both having deeper feelings for one another but neither really knowing how to move forward into more now because of Brook’s current situation. Once Jack got over his initial shock and anger he stood by her. But he was blinded by his feelings for Brooklyn to be able to see how others would respond to her situation. This created a barrier in their relationship that they needed to learn how to overcome if they are going to move forward. Jack is also dealing with business challenges from fellow business owner and he must decide the best way to respond. His whole life has been shaken, how will he respond?

I did really like Jack at the beginning and the end but I was a disappointed with some of his attitude and actions in the middle part. However this made him feel real, as people are not perfect and make mistakes. It was through these mistakes that he grew, learning more about God’s desire for his life. My favourite characters were Jack’s mom and Caleb. These two were there for Jack & Brooklyn but they also challenged them to think about their actions and feelings.

Overall I enjoyed the message of the story and felt it was done well. I liked how the author did not back down from dealing with a difficult matter and incorporated scripture without it feeling forced. This was a wonderful debut novel and I look forward to more from Ms. Conrad.

Justice is a very well written inspirational romance. Loved the plot and the realistic characters. The author is new to me and I look forward to reading more of her books. I highly recommend this book.

I am reviewing a copy of Justice through Pelican Book Group and Netgalley:

The woman Jake thought he was meant to Mary Brooklyn is pregnant now and doesn’t want anything to do with Jake.

But there is something Brooklyn is afraid to tell him, something about her pregnancy. She’s afraid of how it will affect her relationship with Jake.

If the man who owns the bookstore across from Jake’s coffee shop has anything to do with it, the baby will ruin them both.

Will Jake and Brooklyn and overcome the obstacles that are hurdled in their path.

I give Justice five out of five stars!

Happy Reading
