This is quite an interesting story. I am curious to find out how can someone cheat on their partner and not feel guilty about it. Moreover, I want to find out how Marcus reacts to that. It sounds like a really good thought provoking thriller. I would definitely read this one. Thank you for your review.

Nice review. True, it is a well written book. Indeed everybody try to express justice in his/her own way. The book teaches many lessons about constitutes justice.

Latest Review: Natural Relief for Anxiety and Stress by Gustavo Kinrys, MD

This appears to be a highly emotional novella and it posseses a distinct writing style which makes it stand out. Justice is a topic I'd really love to delve into and understanding the characters of Brynn, Marcus and Joseph is something I'd love. Congrats on BOTD!

I had read a few pages in the sample specimen and I can honestly say the novel was quite alluring. I was totally absorbed with how he was setting the plot in a tone of writing that can only be considered to be riveting.

Brynn and Marcus are in an unhappy marriage. Brynn takes to cheating while her husband is busy with work. Marcus later finds out when he catches his wife red-handed. What then happens afterwards is the premise for Justice.

I wonder what the link is between Joseph, and Marcus and Brynn. I am not too fond of a poetic writing style so will give this one a pass.

This book really intrigues me. Somehow I am going through a similar process and trying to find answers. I might give this a go, because sometimes literature can help us order our chaotic existence. Thanks for your review.

I totally agree that every good story has more than one side. I read the book. It portrays a heartbreaking story of two couples enduring in their marriage rather than enjoying. I really felt for Marcus and wondered why he fell for Brynn. The novella is quite intriguing and worth reading. Readers will learn the negative effects of infidelity and what they need to do to avoid letting the disease rob off their happiness in marriage.

The book seems to address the most relatable events in the life of couples these days. And as the review suggest, it will bring up both the sides of the story in front of reader. So, worth reading..... Thanks for such an expressive review.

This sounds like an emotional novel to read. Cheating in marriage is something that shouldn't be happening at all. My opinion though. Great work by Scott. Nice review.

Not quite what I would have chosen as my typical reading material, but sample and review makes it hard to refuse this book. Will have to read it just for the peace of my mind))
