Trusting the
Law is a short historical/romance novel that takes place during the tough times
of the Prohibition Era. Grace is not your typical, by the book kind of gal. She
works for Marshall Fields during the day and runs a speak-easy by night, and
she does all of this just to pay the insurmountable medical bills for her
ailing uncle, that raised her after her parents died. Grace unexpectedly meets
Paul, a local Chicago police officer that turns her world upside down. Grace
seems to be very much ahead of her times in my opinion.
From the very
start I was instantly drawn to her character, because she has this sassy never
back down attitude, and does what she has to do to take care of the ones she
loves. (I think we all have been in that boat at one time or another in our
lives) This novel for the most part seems to keep with the time period from
what I know of it. I had no problem understanding the story line or the choices
the characters made it very realistic.
This story
has an emotional turning point at the end and really tugs at your heart
strings. I liked the main characters for the most part and the plot was very
good in my opinion, the only complaint I would say I had, was that it wasn't
nearly long enough.
I would
recommend it to anyone that's looking for something new to read, in a short
time frame.
