Description



About the Book



Jaime Nichols's goal is to protect the innocent. But who's going to protect her?



Book Synopsis



Jaime long ago gave up the desire to be loved. Now she only needs to be heard.

Jaime Nichols went to law school to find the voice she never had as a child, and her determination to protect girls and women in the path of harm drives her in ways both spoken and unspoken. As Jaime, now a criminal defense attorney, prepares to press charges against someone who wronged her long ago, she must face not only her demons but also the unimaginable forces that protect the powerful man who tore her childhood apart.

Chandler Bolton, a retired veteran, is tasked with helping a young victim who must testify in court--and along with his therapy dog, Aslan, he's up for the task. When he first meets Jaime, all brains, beauty, and brashness, he can't help but be intrigued. As Chandler works to break through the wall Jaime has built around herself, the two of them discover that they may have more to offer one another than they ever could have guessed--and that together, they may be able to help this endangered child.

This thrilling installment of the Hidden Justice series explores the healing power of resolution and the weight of words given voice. And as Jaime pursues delayed justice of her own, she unearths eternal truths that will change the course of her life.

"Delayed Justice will hold you to the end . . . A very timely story!" --Susan Page Davis, author of the Main Justice series

A Legal Thriller

Delayed Justice by Cara Putman is the third book in her Hidden Justice series. Jaime Nichols is a criminal defense attorney in the public defender’s office. She tries to be the voice for those who do not have one. Chandler Bolton is an American veteran who works with the vets as they readjust to civilian life. He has trained his dog to be a therapy dog. His first assignment is to help an eight-year-old girl as she testifies in court. This story had suspense mixed with romance. I loved how sensitive Chandler was with Jaime. He was a true gentleman. It was a reminder that God is always there in every situation whether we can see him or not. He’ll be our comfort and shield if we’ll only allow Him in. I received this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.

Another thrilling journey from Cara Putman

Whew! What a great story! We finally get to hear Jaime’s story in this third installment of Hidden Justice series. Cara Putman is a master storyteller of legal thrillers; this book boasts all her trademarks - fluid and easy to read writing style, fast-paced and suspenseful plot, fantastic and deeply layered characters, a strong component of faith in the story, and sensitive approach to some difficult social injustices. Though it’s the third book in the series, it can definitely be read as a stand-alone. If you enjoy contemporary legal thriller/suspense, this book is a must read. Jaime is a public criminal defense lawyer who is struggling with her painful past. Though she’s independent, strong, intelligent, and successful, she has only now come to the point in her life where she’s ready to face her demons and bring the man who abused her to light. Chandler, ex-military and divorced, is a compassionate, fiercely loyal, tender-hearted man who strives each day to help counsel those veterans who need help after their tours. Circumstances throw Jaime and Chandler together over and over again as they both learn to let down their guards around each other. Chandler’s dog Aslan is so lovable and plays a major role in the story. Twists and turns in the plot throw both Jaime and Chandler in harm’s way as they navigate the justice system to bring closure and healing. I’m hoping there will be a fourth book in the series about Caroline.....I so need to find out her story and Brandon’s! I received a copy of the book from Thomas Nelson via Celebrate Lit Tours and was under no obligation to post a positive review. All comments and opinions are solely my own.

Well-written Suspense

When the main character has your heart on the first page, that's good storytelling! But as I read grown-up Jaime's story, I didn't think she would be someone I would enjoy being around. But there's the beauty of this story - she had friends who put up with her and loved her as she worked through the pain of childhood abuse, and by the end of the story I was quite comfortable around her, and so proud of her. The transformation was real and beautiful. This was such a good book! I had a hard time putting it down. It's the third book of the Hidden Justice series, but entirely stands on its own. Fans of legal drama will love this suspenseful book. I highly recommend it. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher, Thomas Nelson, through Celebrate Lit, for review purposes. The thoughts expressed here are my own.
