Jada McLean is an amazingly strong & resilient woman, who has complete control of her life... that is until she is faced with the ULTIMATE! betrayal.Nothing shatters a woman's dreams quite like finding her husband to be in flagrante delicto mere days before the wedding. And just to add insult to injury the only other person she truly trusts is the one he's sticking it to....Now I'm not usually a fan of being slapped in the face - so to speak - in the first chapter of a book. Mostly because I feel like it's wasted on a reader that isn't in deep enough to appreciate it. But, Rebecca Rohman sure knows how to do it RIGHT! my stomach plummeted and my heart broke for a character I had yet to fall in love with - which by the way didn't take long.Needing a break from the never-ending drama that is now her life, Jada moves to Lake Tahoe with the hopes of making a fresh start. Here she meets rude, obnoxious and Hot as all get out district attorney Jonathan Kole.Whoa! do sparks fly between Jada and Jonathan from the very beginning - though not always the good kind - The love hate relationship between these two characters is jaw dropping, hand over mouth, laugh out loud hilarious.With a back stabbing best friend, philandering dead ex fiancé and insufferable, hot-headed, sex-on-legs man meat all in the first chapter. I'm surprised I didn't implode.After a series of events that seem to stem from her ex-fiancé's less then stellar decision making skills, Jada finds herself on the wrong side of the law. And the one person she had hoped would restore her faith in love, trust & Happily Ever After just so happens to be the man who could be responsible for putting her behind bars.I was so very impressed with the calibre of character within this magnificent tale. Filled to the brim with strong and moral personalities tending loving and loyal relationships - crazy bed buddies and lying, cheating best friends & fiancé's aside of course.Jonathan finds himself forced to fight his growing feeling for Jada, to uphold his ingrained ethics and responsibility as San Francisco's district attorney. Talk about a conflict of interest...His ostensible participation in the legal proceedings creates a fissure in their budding relationship that seems almost impossible to overcome.Meanwhile Jada is force to deal with a plethora of hidden secrets and accusing eyes around every corner. All while trying to keep from falling head over heels with the man that holds her fate in his hands.Oh..My! God... this storyline has more twists and turns than a rollercoaster ride. Rebecca Rohman has effortlessly brought to life these beautifully complex characters within a story that takes the reader on a living breathing journey - Kleenex is a must.Love, Lies and the D.A. was an absolute pleasure to read, with a unique blend of romance and suspense.Ms Rohman is an amazingly talented author, and I for one cannot wait for my next fix.
