My Book Review
RATING: 4 out of 5 Stars
CHANCE (Sydney Jones Series Book 2) by Carolyn M. Bowen is a new fast-paced thriller. This is the second book in the trilogy, but it is easily read as a standalone.
Sydney Jones is a powerful, independent and tough attorney, who heads her own law firm in Atlanta. She will take any case she believes in and up until this latest case her bodyguard boyfriend, Walker would be right by her side on the job and at home. Walker has been framed for a murder so the CIA can get him back on their payroll. He abruptly leaves the love of his life and can have no communication with her.
As Sydney moves on, she accepts the case of a woman accused of murdering her lover, who was the head of the Chinese Black Societies in Atlanta. Sydney’s life is increasingly at risk as she digs deeper into the case. While at the same time, Walker is in Cuba facing life-and-death situations of his own.
Sydney and Walker are on separate dangerous paths. Will either or both survive for any future together?
This is a fast-paced read that will keep you turning the pages. I love Sydney and her strength, no nonsense, take charge character traits. Walker is a great match for her. I did find it a little difficult to get into this author’s writing style. It is very bare-bones and action-oriented with very little in-depth description or dialogue, but the tension and urgency kept me turning the pages. I was pulled into the plot and just had to keep reading until “The End”.
I am looking forward to reading the next book.
