Reviewed by JoAnneBook provided by the author for reviewReview originally posted at Romancing the BookThis book was reminiscent to me of John H. Cunningham’s Red Right Return and had just as many adventures. Stolen Justice kept my interest from beginning to end. It had mystery, suspense, lies, romance, adventures, lots of computer programming, social responsibility and a conscience plus laughter, tears, fear, romance, love, friends, family and a couple of happily ever afters and get what you deserves, or sweet justice, too! I wish the book had gone on for a few more chapters since I’d like to see where the international story ended up – could there be another book bringing these characters back together and giving us better closure that Laura really would be safe and not have to look over her shoulder her entire life?The characters were so well developed, you could feel the strong connections they had with each other. The adventures were well defined – you felt you were part of the team and could visualize where they were and internalize the angst, fear and cheer the good outcomes as well. JT and Laura had almost immediate chemistry and she was made a part of the group by the team from the beginning. There were a lot of twists and turns – most unexpected – different locales, good guys vs. bad guys and lots of suspense to keep the action going.I have not read books by this author before but if this is the caliber of Gross’ writing I will be reading others and adding her to my TBR pile.Favorite Quote:He pulled her against him as his mouth slanted across hers. Heat flashed through her body, conducted on a high-speed circuit. Want, need, flooded her system. His tongue brushed her lips. She opened her mouth and let him in. He tasted of spice, sweat and a hint of peppermint. Her hands slid up his muscles arms and wrapped around his neck. Mac, PC. Mac, PC. Mac, PC. The alarms wailing in her head faded as the world narrowed to skin and sensation.
