A review by kjanie
Conflict of Interest by Jae

4.0

4.5/5 stars

I really can't remember the last time I had such a good run with books as I am having now. Every book I read seems so much better than the last, and this has been no exception. This was a touching, raw and honest book that I just adored. I just don't know if I will be able to write a review that gives the depth of this book justice. It was touching and emotional, while still having a loveable romance with good chemistry, as well as an interesting and well-researched plot. I just really don't know what to say, it was fantastic. I know that I have been loving Jae's books recently, but this showed me a whole new side of her writing. While I know she can write funny and witty romances which I love, I know she call delve into the emotional and heart-wrenching depths of serious issues.

I really don't want to make this review very long or detailed, because I just feel like this is a book that should just be jumped into (with a trigger warning of course). All you need to know is the characters are fantastic throughout, in all facets of their relationship. The police and crime-related plot are sensitively handled, extremely well-researched as well as being both enlightening and highly interesting. I have never read a romance book that has placed so much focus on a court-hearing and the trauma of characters. I usually find that the romance tends to push these important subjects to the side, but this book found the perfect balance between all of it. It was hard at moments, but there were other sweet moments that made me smile. This was such a well-rounded book, I really can't recommend it enough.
