Medical thillers can be very chilling. This one is intense! I absolutely love how this author puts faith into her books along with the legal aspect that aren't cheezy. It makes these stories simply, well, thrilling! Our romantic couple has decided they are a couple and should move forward with their relationship. While they are working on that, with all the issues that entails, Caroline now has a super new job! She's the legal help for a company with cutting-edge new genetic treatments for children with cancer. Leukemia is a big focus of this "cure." Even so, something is wrong. Caroline can't ignore it and she can't drag Brandon into it, so now what? Moral, ethical, legal, faith issues are all confronted in this story. Realist, relevant with just the right amount of romance, this book can make you think long after the pages close.

Cara Putman writes the best legal suspense! I always come away having learned something without it feeling overwhelming or above my head. This one has some medical suspense which really makes me want to read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (it’s been on my TBR forever anyway). I’ve enjoyed this group of women lawyers from the beginning and would love to see more of them in subsequent books. This one also touches on foster care. Brandon’s heart for kids in the system is so heartfelt.

I loved the first three books in this series but I had a harder time getting into this one. I think that the medical research parts were too slow for me. I did love Brandon's heart for sibling groups of foster kids. I actually wish that had been the main focus of the book.
I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. This is my honest review.

In this continuation of The Hidden Justice series, Caroline finally gets her story while the reader also gets to catch up with Hayden, Emilie, Jaime, and Savannah from the previous books. It can definitely be read as a stand alone, though becoming acquainted with Caroline's tightly-knit circle of friends prior to reading this book will increase the reader's appreciation. The plot moves at a good pace and is infused with cutting edge medical technology which becomes the basis for the suspense.
Caroline is a newly hired counsel for a medical research company and the reader learns about the fascinating world of patent law, FDA approval, and research protocols along with Caroline. Brandon is a former pro-football player running a group foster home specifically for siblings. The book opens with Caroline and Brandon already in a serious relationship, which is sorely tested and tried when one of Brandon's foster children becomes a subject in her company's trial. Things unravel quickly for both of them professionally and personally as the child gets sicker, Brandon's program is threatened by new laws, Caroline's days are filled with confusion, and several people tied to the research are targeted. There are glimpses into the villain's thoughts which add an interesting layer to the plot. The ending didn't tie up all loose ends, but felt realistic. If you are a fan of legal suspense with a dose of romance, you will definitely enjoy this book.
