The Narrows Review - HERE
Synopsis -
Set in the conference rooms of a white-shoe Houston law firm and the stunning coastline of Baja California, Belinda is the story of a woman’s bravery and resourcefulness at the end of her brilliant career.

Against a backdrop of romance and legal drama, the novel explores questions about love, the law, and the anxious precipice of life change. Is it ever too late to be swept away by romance?

Review -
Belinda takes readers back to the style of storytelling found in the author's other book in this series - A Lion in the Grass. The author dives into the characters lives in a soul baring way, while still keeping a strong link to the plotline presented.

Review -
Belinda takes readers back to the style of storytelling found in the author's other book in this series - A Lion in the Grass. The author dives into the characters lives in a soul baring way, while still keeping a strong link to the plotline presented.
This is the third book he has linked into a grouping called (The Raymond Hatcher Stories). Raymond is gone, but we follow his protegee Jay who was an integral part of A Lion in the Grass. Added to this is Belinda, a former work mate that he is reaching out to as well as the other characters needed to flesh out the plot.
The author moves the reader fluidly between portraying who the characters are, giving a peak into their lives, and moving the story line forward. Soul searching is done, but it is tucked into the right between spaces. The themes of the possibility of finding love, legal posturing, office politics, money and deep betrayal are woven together seamlessly into a great read.
