Review of Justice Delivered by Patricia Bradley


About the Book ~

Carly Smith came by her trust issues honestly. She's been at the mercy of merciless men, ignored by law enforcement officers who should have helped her, and seemingly rejected by her family. She can't even trust herself to do the right thing. Though she is working hard on building a new life, the past continues to haunt her when she discovers that the man she couldn't bring herself to report to the police is still out there, luring vulnerable girls under the guise of being a modeling agent.

When her own niece is kidnapped, Carly must overcome her fears and come forward with the information she has. But if that proves to be too little, too late -- she'll have to go after the perpetrators herself.

My Thoughts ~

Justice Delivered by Patricia Bradley is an exciting ride that lives up to its name!

While the story is exciting, romantic, and expertly written, I do need to put a trigger warning on it. The author does an awesome job raising awareness for sex trafficking, but the story may be painful to anyone who has been abused (especially sexually), has a loved one that has been abused, or has a loved one that has fought the chains of sexual addiction.

That said, Justice Delivered was an excellent story!

I enjoyed how the author laid out not only Carly and Logan's story but also David and Maggie's story. It felt like you got two unique stories and two sweet romances that merged into one suspenseful adventure! For the most part, you know who the bad guy(s) are, but that didn't bother me. The suspenseful part of the story was the thrill of the chase as the characters fight to save Carly's niece and catch the bad guy(s). Even though you know there's going to be a happy ending, the author did a wonderful job at keeping the stakes raised with tension that guaranteed the frantic turning of pages!

The spiritual side of the story really dived into forgiving others -- especially those who do NOT deserve forgiveness -- and living outside of the chains of fear after trauma. This is not an easy message to swallow, and I loved how the author approached this with tact, love, and kindness.

Four Stars ~ Justice Delivered by Patricia Bradley is a thrilling, heartbreaking story with a happy ending! Justice Delivered is the fourth book in Patricia Bradley's Memphis Cold Case Series from Revell. It can be read as a standalone, but some of the characters/storyline are introduced in the first book of the series. For that reason, readers might find the story more satisfying if they read the books in order.
