No Consent by L.J. Sellers and Teresa Burrell Book Review

 


I received a gifted copy and am writing a review.

This is the first in a new series and was such a fun read, with many underlying stories intermixed. Nate Conner is just released from jail and finds himself attracting unwanted attention because he is in the wrong place at the wrong time, when all he really wants to do is get his life straightened out. While he is attempting to do just that, he finds himself being questioned by the police for crimes he didn’t commit, and seemingly no one believes him until he meets Ms. Hitchens who works in the district attorney’s office, and she introduces him to Mr. Leahy who becomes his lawyer. Ms. Hitchens herself (Hitch) has uncovered some not so upstanding goings on in the DA’s office and decides to letter Conner help her figure out what’s going on. There is also the underlying story of Kaylee, Nate and Nicole’s baby sister, who suddenly goes missing and they do all in their power to help find her and bring her back home. In the end, Nate finds himself developing deeper, stronger relationships with both of his sisters.

This is going to be an interesting series to be a part of. The characters are what I would consider ‘fun,’ in that they each have their own quirky personalities but that just makes the story mesh even more. As well, Ms. Sellers and Ms. Burrell, although writing together, are able to maintain the same voice so the reader doesn’t realize that this book is written by two people. That, in and of itself, is a difficult task at best.
