As the first book in a series “Broken Justice” started strong. I was sucked into the story right away. Lacey was the down on her luck but plucky heroine, and Cameron was the strong silent type that came to her rescue.  He instantly wants to help Lacey. So offers her a job with his company across the country. Lacey jumps at the chance for a new start, and  a chance to explore the chemistry between them. Cameron is reluctant but charmed by Lacey.The road trip was great, Cameron is opening up. You can really see a friendship developing as well. Also things are staring to get steamy for these two. Hot. Then they get to the compound Cameron’s company owns. This is where the story very slowly started to unravel for me. I felt the romance stalled at this point and the relationship pretty much turned completely physical.  They tend to ignore each other in public and the moment they are alone Cameron has Lacey naked. Little to no conversation.Cameron just seems to morph into a complete jerk. He knows it, his friends know it, Lacey it knows but she still goes along with it. Until he is so insulting she can’t ignore it any longer. Lacey was a vulnerable character. Young, unskilled, no family and no money. I felt Cameron well and truly had the upper hand here, and sort of used her. It left me with an icky feeling. Look, he does come through in the end. But for me the character damage had been done.The writing was good, and  the character development was solid. In fact you spend a lot of time in Lacey and Cameron’s heads. Sometimes a bit too much time. At times I was ready for some action or conversation to move things along.  In spite of my gripes I realised I would read another book by this author with the hope she can make a hero a bit more likeable.
