It was a very pleasant surprise. This book was especially good because it centers around spousal abuse and the victim advocates that are there to help them. I found it a great read as well as very interesting. I live in a country that does not offer those services and I was fascinated. I have the greatest of admiration for the police, firemen and volunteers supporting victims every day. ( ) DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: As a victim’s advocate for the Denver Police Department, Julie Lawrence is always on call for survivors of abuse, fighting for the justice she never got for herself. It’s a high-risk job that makes a lot of enemies—one of whom seems to be now targeting Julie. But teaming up with firefighter and local hero Rusty Wilson sparks a different kind of danger. As Julie surrenders to intoxicating passion, she finds herself breaking her own rules, caring about Rusty in a way she thought she’d sworn off forever. When a domestic incident escalates into a deadly hostage crisis, Rusty is willing to risk everything to protect those who really need his help—like Julie, the breath of fresh air who fills his days with purpose and his nights with pleasure. He just hopes he’s not too late to stop a chillingly orchestrated act of payback that puts the woman he loves at the mercy of a madman’s rage. Combining romance with authentic details of crime and victims’ advocates, adding a touch of mystery and a deeply wounded protagonist trying to heal, and vividly recreating the Denver after Dark environment of its title, Kathy Clark’s Cries in the Night is a complex, intriguing novel with great characters, interesting plot, and thought-provoking ideas. The story stands alone convincingly without readers needing to start with book one (I've not read it yet). Characters are given plenty of clear backstory, and their motivations are easily recognized. Family details anchor the tale to a world of very real people. And the author puts a very human face on statistics about abuse and its consequences. The dialog is nicely convincing, and the characters enjoy an appealing relationship as they gradually learn to trust each other—a trust that leads eventually to some sensual steamy scenes. Wise lessons are learned, and good lessons taught in a story that’s definitely romance, but equally definitely more; I’m glad I had to chance to read and review this novel. Disclosure: I was given a free ecopy and I offer my honest review. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
