PAULA'S REVIEW:
I absolutely loved this story. The author makes 'legalese' understandable. The characters were stellar. J.D. was a flawed, redeemed, upright lawyer who fought for the underdog. Mahalia was a by-the-book judge who learned to loosen up and went back to her Christian roots. Since she was raised by a preacher granddaddy, those Bible quotes keep popping into her head.

Ms. Breigh writes in a natural, flowing way that put me right in the story, the elevator scene was epic. I loved the way J. D. calmed the situation by playing 20 questions to pass the time.
What started out as an at-odds relationship, blossomed into quite the romance. It goes to show that God might change the plans you thought were written in stone. The side characters rounded out the story to show the personality traits of J.D. and Mahalia.
What’s not to love when you mix an earthquake, someone making things difficult, and romance with interesting legal information.
Another excellent story by a very talented author.

As the youngest female judge in LA, Mahalia Jackson has her career goals carefully aligned. But when her mentor tells her she needs to break her shell of professionalism and show a little heart by volunteering for the Junior Jurors program, her plans begin to falter.
Attorney JD Cash heads up the Junior Jurors program, a project born out of his own troubled past. He leverages his position as an attorney to fulfill God's calling on his life, supporting the orphans and widows of society who have lost beloved husbands and fathers to TransNation's eighteen-wheeled time bombs roaming America's freeways.
Mahalia's rule—never date a lawyer—is a straitjacket that tightens when she presides over the case where JD serves as a young widow's attorney. But when an earthquake leaves JD and Mahalia in a vulnerable position, her resolve begins to waver and she finds herself opening up to the sad-eyed lawyer. But online, anonymous colleagues and adversaries attempt to destroy Mahalia’s reputation and career.
A legal drama threaded with romance, An Appearance of Impropriety will show readers that real love is worth the risk.
