While I’m a fan already of Rena Koontz novels, I was once again tense, moved, and satisfied reading her latest release. Broken Justice, Blind Love might be her best to-date, which is saying a lot.
Typical of Koontz’s writing style, action grabbed me from page one and never let up. The balance between suspense and emotional journey kept me reading, hardly taking a breath. Her writing is tight, evocative, and engaging. Her knowledge of police work gives the book refreshing authenticity. She never missed a beat in taking me, the reader, along the intense investigation of a serial killer. Her characterization grabbed my heart, as well, as I felt right there with the heroine and hero facing life and death decisions and rooting for them as they searched for truth and love.
But before any relationship can grow between Officer Trish Kleerey and Bryan DeJewel, Trish must face the fact that investigation of a series of murders is leading to Bryan as a suspect. Her suspicion of him throws Bryan for a loop, as he understands a relationship with Trish would be impossible if she can’t trust him. And Trish knows ignoring the incriminating evidence goes against what she stands for – justice.
If you love characters with depth and heart in a superb romantic suspense story, go buy this book now.

I really enjoyed this last book by Rena Koontz! It was a well-paced story and even though there was a bit of predictability, there was still enough suspense to keep you reading until you confirmed your predictions. There were points in the story when I wanted to give each of the characters a bit of a slap upside their heads for being so self-focused but that actually did add to the dimension of the character. What I truly like most about Rena's books is her detail in describing the nature of her character's occupations, especially when there is any form of law enforcement involved. She doesn't scrimp on details and I feel as though I always learn something about the various occupations in addition to reading a usually interesting storyline. I was so glad these two did come together at the end of the story. Looking forward to the next book!

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were very well developed, and the romance progressed at a believable pace. Trish, the female cop, was a strong and likable character. Her love interest, Bryan, was someone any woman would be interested in. There was a good mystery about a serial killer preying on women associated with real estate listings, and a side story of a friend being brutalized by a new love interest, rang true. If you're looking for a good crime story with a love affair that is fun to read and very believable, you will enjoy this book.
