Description:

Dylan Truman, better known under her alias Lady Justice, is the bane of every grifter, cheater, and bully in the Bay Area. Alongside her best friend and hacktivist, Daniel Haas, she works as a revenge-for-hire vigilante, seeking retribution on behalf of her (predominantly female) clientele. When a prospective client brings up a fraud complaint against pharmaceutical CEO Brent Wilder, Dylan’s business becomes personal: Years earlier, Wilder assaulted Dylan’s sister and got away with it. And now it’s time to make him pay.

But she may be doing it alone. Daniel is ready to leave the business and settle down with a stable and safe job. Dylan is devastated—not only is she losing her partner and one of the most talented digital private investigators in the city, she’s beginning to realize her feelings for Daniel are deeper than she thought. But with Brent’s increasing paranoia comes life-threatening danger, and Dylan must keep her head in the game.

With the clock running out fast, Lady Justice must choose between vengeance at any cost—and giving it all up for the man who may actually love her back. Dylan’s always tried to protect those she loves by walking her path alone, but perhaps there is another way to ensure justice is served.

Adele’s Review:

Wow! I loved this book. Katherine A. Olson delivers a riveting, fast-paced story that kept me glued to my Kindle from the first page to the last. Her author voice is clear, distinct, and reader-friendly and she gives her protagonist, Dylan Truman, a personality that jumps off the page. I liked everything about her.

Though Close Enough To Hurt is marketed as General Fiction and Thriller, lovers of Romance will enjoy this novel too. There is a strong romantic element in the subplot, which this reviewer absolutely loved. (I craved a cigarette after reading Chapters 15, 16. No lie!) The sensual scenes are beautifully written and steaming hot but filled with emotion and not at all salacious. The thriller scenes are frequent, tense and exciting. I rooted for Dylan over and over again. I wanted this woman to win!

Highly recommended for readers who admire a strong heroine that can kick some serious bad-guy butt, while also learning the joys of intimacy in a loving relationship.
