Dirty Job was the first book I read by Sabrina Hollands. This was a quick, easy read. This suspense romance is about Jake Stillwater- a famous YouTuber turned TV star and the newest member of his team, camerawoman Tess Hardy. Neither Jake nor Tess are who they seem. Both put on a show because neither of them want people to see the real them. Tess has secrets she tries to keep hidden. Their work relationship starts off rocky, but Jake breaks down Tess's walls she has built up since the break up from her abusive ex-boyfriend Ryan. Tess took this job to get away from her ex, until Ryan tracks Tess down in Louisiana. Jake’s ex girlfriend is also out to get him. Posting lies about him all over TikTok. Neither can escape their past relationship mistakes. Tess makes a run for it leaving Jake heartbroken. But fate brings them back together.

Dead Lawyers Don’t Lie was probably the most detailed, and in-depth work of fiction I have ever read. In some areas- it felt unnecessarily drawn out. It is a definite time commitment. Jake Wolfe- ex-military operative retired into a photojournalist is the main character of this book. He hasn’t left military life behind completely. He is already ready for the next fight, and throws himself right into the action whenever possible. He is reckless at times, and We meet friends of Jake’s throughout the book, his connections to various slightly “gray” moral characters and how they are part of his story. This book shows terrorism, vindictive exes, corrupt, power-hungry police officers, and politicians. There are connections between the secret service, FBI, and local police department working to solve the murders of three lawyers. All killed in different places and with different methods by “The Artist” a Russian Assassin. When Jake accidentally spots the killer at the first murder, he is added to the Artist’s hitlist too. This book has a ton of action, a lot of creativity, twists and turns. Even Cody, Jake’s dog’s point of view is viewed throughout the book. I enjoyed reading this book, and look forward to having more time to read the other eight books of the Jake Wolfe series.
