- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was a good series. I enjoyed all 3 books.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5There's no doubt in corporate litigator Mia Shaw's mind about who killed her friend and colleague, Chase. But the man accused of the murder is a friend of security technician Noah Ramirez, and Noah is sure the real killer is someone else. When Mia takes over Chase's last case, she uncovers what looks like corporate espionage—and the stakes could prove deadly in Breach of Trust by author Rachel Dylan.I'm quite a fan of this book's cover. It's so on point for legal suspense, and it is indeed the legal side of the stories that I've most enjoyed about the Atlanta Justice series. I appreciate how there are multiple sides to the case(s) in this story with a number of moving parts to it all.Now, in light of those multiple sides, along with multiple characters' perspectives coming into play, I don't consider this book to be romantic suspense. The other characters' points of view and storylines that have nothing to do with the main couple's romance means, well, it's not exactly a romance. But since romance isn't what I read this author for anyway, I didn't mind the several POVs.The redundancy in the novel got to me at times, with characters using the same expressions and doing the same little actions over and over, and the narrator sometimes rehashes the same information. And as much as I enjoyed most of the novel, it unraveled for me toward the end. It's like the story climaxed a bit early, and then there was too much left to tie up and too many twists thrown in after the momentum was gone. Also, it seems that some of the fairly long ending might be more for the benefit of setting up another novel or series.Nevertheless, I think plenty of other ChristFic suspense fans will enjoy this one.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just three pages into this book I knew that Breach of Trust was going to be a book that would be hard to put down. Corporate lawyer Mia Shaw finds her colleague murdered in his apartment and she is determined to find who killed her friend. What follows is a story filled with twists and turns and a lot of deception. Mia herself becomes a target when she discovers the possibility of corporate espionage and realizes that her career may be at stake. As she searches for the truth she finds herself depending on security tech guru Noah Ramirez for both guidance and protection.Author Rachel Dylan has practiced law for over a decade and she is a litigator at a top legal firm. It is this experience and expertise that help make this book and this series so believable. Breach of Trust is the third book in the Atlantic Justice series and it is a great legal suspense novel. It is also wonderful Christian fiction and Dylan's personal beliefs are very evident in this story that has hope, faith, and forgiveness. She knows how to express the conflicts that are often experienced by both new converts and seasoned Christians. I especially enjoyed one conversation about faith between Mia and Noah. Mia's faith is new but Noah grew up as a preacher's kid. Mia confides that she was raised with no sense of of religion, faith, or even morals and Noah admits that, even though faith has long been a part of him, he still had to find his own way as an adult. 'God has an interesting way of tugging at our hearts and opening up our minds. Using the dark and painful challenges of life to speak into our hearts.' (p. 168) Dylan also uses this last book in the Atlanta Justice series to show how the characters from the previous books are doing. Sophie and Kate are now happy and content with Cooper and Landon and it becomes obvious that they are determined to help their friend Mia discover her own happiness and contentment. Watching Mia and Noah's personal relationship develop as they work to find the killer would be a perfect way to end this series and I found myself rooting for them.Breach of Trust is filled with adventure and intrigue and there are many touching moments as we say goodbye to these characters. They will be missed!I received a complimentary copy from Bethany House Publishers and a positive review was not required. These are my honest thoughts.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The story took a while to get going and there's a lot of legal wrangling. I guessed early on who one of the "bad guys" was--though the conspiracy was a bit more complex than what I'd originally thought. I'm rarely able to guess "whodunit" correctly, so . . .I know I've read at least one other book in this series, but I remember none of the characters from that book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fantastic romantic suspense. I loved the suspense with a bit of romance. There were many twists and turns. I wasn’t sure who the bad guy was until close to the end of the book. I got to learn a little bit of law in this also. I loved Mia and Noah. These two worked so well together. This was a wonderful ending to a great series. I received a copy of this book from the author for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Title: Breach of TrustAuthor: Rachel DylanPages: 304Year: 2019Publisher: Bethany My rating: 5 out of 5 starsWhat a fantastic and thrilling conclusion to the Atlanta Justice series! The story focus on Mia Shaw who practices corporate litigation. When Mia goes to Chase’s apartment looking forward to a celebratory dinner with him, she instead finds him brutally murdered. Now her world has been turned upside down and Mia’s faith is really being tested as she grapples through the aftermath.In addition to dealing with Chase’s murder, Mia is tapped to take over one of Chase’s biggest cases but finding what she needs proves to be difficult at best. Throughout the novel there are continuing threats on Mia’s life while handling a major case, grieving, and wrestling with her nightmares. Mia is a woman who is top notch in her field and is used to taking charge of her life, however with recent events Mia is finding that a real challenge.Mia is a tough cookie, but she has a heart of gold toward people. Mia is a young believer in the Lord and her faith is challenged. However, she has other friends whose faith and knowledge help her walk through the valley one day at a time. Mia has dated before, but the men seemed to be unable to care for her in a way she longs for regardless of her mother’s teachings about life, men and God.The whole series is engaging because it deals with the legal arena, but more so it shows how faith can be lived out in day-to-day interactions with other people and situations. If you read all three books, you will discover who Mia’s friends are and enjoy their stories as well. Rachel Dylan is a blooming author so watch for whatever she plans to share with audiences sometime in the future.Until then, read the first novel titled, Deadly Proof followed by Lone Witness before you enjoy A Breach of Trust. You don’t want to miss the suspenseful tales in this series!Note: I received a complimentary copy for an honest review of this book. The opinions shared in this review are solely my responsibility.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5"Faith isn't a magic pill. It's important to understand that. Not to expect the pain to just stop because you've let God into your life. But it does allow you to cope with the pain in a different way."This is actually the first book I have read from Rachel Dylan and I am totally hooked. Breach of Trust is book 3 in the Atlanta Justice series but can definitely be read as a stand-alone. Now that I've finished the book, I need to go back and read books 1 and 2!!The author creates a fast-moving legal thriller full of action, suspense, and surprises in the plot that will keep you guessing who the real villain is. The writing is easy to follow, the characters are real and lovable, and the faith component of the story tangible and affirmative. If you enjoy a well-written romantic suspense/legal thriller, you will absolutely love this book.Our heroine, Mia, is a brilliant corporate defense lawyer who has a broken past but a new life in her faith. She ends up taking a case after the death of her friend and colleague that leads her down a twisted and tangled web of corporate schemes. Noah, our hero, is a private investigator specializing in technology and gets involved in Mia's case when his ex-ATF buddy gets accused of murder. Noah is the steady, dependable, faithful sort who becomes Mia's rock as the case and her life unravel quickly. It's also interesting to see two other perspectives in the plot - one from Owen, the general council of the corporation that Mia is defending, and the other from Ty, the criminal defense lawyer who takes Noah's friend's case pro bono. Will there be future books about Owen and/or Ty?!?! We can only hope....I received a copy of the book from Bethany House Publishers and was under no obligation to post a positive review.
