Rating 3.5 starsI was given an arc in exchange for an honest review.Love, Lies & the D.A. is so much more than I anticipated, I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting when I started reading this book, but it was more, so much more.LL&theDA; centres around Jada, career driven, focused, having amassed a not so small fortune owning and operationg a chain of luxury hotels, she is a week out from her wedding when she walks in on her fiancé Richard and bestfriend Koto having sex. She ends her relationship with Richard and her friendship with Koto on the spot.After making short work of the fallout from ending her highly publicised engagement, and sorting out her medical worries she sets off for some much needed downtime. While away she has a few run ins with hot shot DA Jonathon Kole, who shows his arrogant side on more than one occasion. She has no idea how much the man who makes her blood boil will come to mean to her over the coming months.This story is packed full of drama, of action and suspense. Jada's ex fiancé it seems was hiding more than just an affair, he was also involved with something shady that led to him being executed, we know as the reader that Jada is not involved but the police dont' seem so convincing, looking at Jada as their prime suspect.What follows is a game of cat and mouse, crime syndicates, threats, extortion, leaving Jada and those who care for her scared for their lives. LL&theDA; is a long story at over 500 pages, it takes its time to build the suspense, to keep you glued to your kindle and waiting to find out who is behind all of this. The relationship that develops between Jada and Johnathon has a slow burn, it's not instant and their becomes friends before becoming lovers, which stays with the pace of the story.I had a few moments of wanting to throw my kindle at the wall, others had me laughing out loud, and ultimately I has moments where I was trying to read with tears streaming down my face. I really enjoyed this book, it was gut wrenching, heart stopping and ultimately a joy to read.
