A detective falls in love with a victim in one of her cases in this remarkable lesbian romantic suspense.

Workaholic Detective Aiden Carlisle isn’t looking for love—and certainly not at the law enforcement seminar she reluctantly agreed to attend. But the first lecturer is not at all what she expected.

Psychologist Dawn Kinsley has just found her place in life. After a failed relationship with a police officer, she has sworn never to get involved with another cop again, but she feels a connection to Aiden from the very first moment.

Can Aiden keep from crossing the line when a brutal crime threatens to keep them apart before they've even gotten together?

4.0 out of 5 stars An intense story with deliciously complex characters. An enjoyable read, indeed.
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2015

I happened upon this book by accident. I'd downloaded a sample of Next of Kin and enjoyed it but had no intention of buying it because I did not want to spend that money at the time. When searching out more on that book, this one was referenced. I initially thought that there was no need to check it out since N.O.K. gave all the results. Still, I downloaded the sample out of curiosity and cussed because it was so darned good that I knew I had to read more. I would have cheated myself of a fantastic story had I gone by my first assumption and just bought N.O.K. I loved getting to know these deliciously complex characters, and appreciate the research or expertise that went into making what the characters experienced be so authentic. I did not want the book to end, even though I was anxious to know how it was going to progress. I read it all day long until by eyes burned, and only then did I put it aside in order to force myself to sleep. I fell in love with Dawn, to be frank, and her characterization has left me wanting a Dawn of my own...lol.

The story is intense, which I appreciate since many of the lesbian novels or short stories I've read are so fickle and leave me wanting as a discerning reader. I have to admit, though, there were times that the two main characters seemed to be more friends or have a sibling-like connection than be romantic interests for each other. This meant that when the author actually put them in romantic situations it seemed misplaced; almost incestuous. This is peculiar since at other times, when there was no intention to have them be romantic or intimate, it's exactly how it felt. The attraction between them was undeniable. I loved the way the author respectfully treated this most delicate topic, and showcased the patience, trust, and tender nurturing survivors of this crime...from both characters experiences, require. I also appreciate that the author did not feel the need to bombard the reader with sexual situations which, in my opinion, would have taken away from the potent story she was trying to tell. Instead she showed that intimacy and sensuality does not always equate to sex.

While there were a few holes in the story, and it did seem to drag on unnecessarily at times, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel. I am extremely glad I opted to purchase it, and am cussing once more because now I know that I must also have Next of Kin. I look forward to being reacquainted with Dawn and Aiden to see how each has adapted to dealing with their respective demons while still trying to maintain a relationship. As well to get to know Kade and her story a bit more; to know what haunts her. Del is uninteresting and a bit flat to me...at least in this book, will see how she develops in N.O.K.

Profoundly powerful novel of Dawn and Aiden’s journey. Their baggage was painful and unrelenting. But together with patience, respect, understanding, and the purity of a true love, they moved forward to each other. The secondary characters were equally important and strong. A very good read. I’m looking for to reading the other two books in this series. I enthusiastically, heartily, and unequivocally recommend this and any other works by Jae. Thank you. Peace

Jae has given us such a great set of characters each dealing with a tragic issue so profound that it could break them all. She accomplished the near impossible task of bringing a satisfying end to the tragedy with grace and sensitivity that it deserved. I love the style of Jae’s writing, the colorful characters, the settings and the delightful ending. She is a master writer. Do support the author by purchasing her book and encouraging your friends to do the same.

4.0 out of 5 stars sad but sweet…
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2023

I was not expecting what happened to the MC to happen. It was sad what she lost through no fault of her own. I am glad she got her HEA after such a horrendous ordeal.

I wanted more from the Kade situation. How could we go the whole book and not much there. I thought it would have been right for Grace and Del to finally find themselves together. But I guess the consolation prize will have to do.

I was also shocked about Kade. I had it wrong too.

This author is consistent. She likes the slow burn and the consummation of the physical part of a budding relationship til the last chapter of the book. Sorry, it’s her M.O. I liked it in the Oregon Trail series, but not in the others. I still read from her because she is an amazing writer.

Jae is like a vineyard producing all kinds of wonderful varieties of wine. Her writing always keeps me engaged, her characters are people you want to meet and have as friends and every story flows like an uninterrupted mountain stream. She chooses difficult subjects and compassionately guides the reader through the trauma to a positive conclusion. Like wine, the story takes it’s time maturing but the end is always a wonderful experience.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sensitive and insightful.

The story line of the book is absolutely fascinating! The author does an amazing job when it comes to the sensitivity of sexual assault cases and survivors. A well written story surrounded by very tragic and very real occurrences. For this, I applaud her!!!

I gave it three stars, because after the relationship had begun with the two leading characters, (which I enjoyed) it seemed to just take off at a high rate of speed. One minute they are on their first date, the next they are talking marriage proposals. In my opinion, the relationship just moved a little too quickly.

All in all, I thought it was a well written book, a diverse, romantic read!

Content Warning: Rape

The books that work best for me not only have a great story and a Happy End (spoilers, duh) but put me through the motions and this one did.
I was angry, I had to laugh sometimes and even a few tears ran down my cheeks now and then. So, this alone should be enough for you to read this book.

Now, a bit inside:
It all revolves around a police detective investigating a rape. The victim is a therapist who treats rape and sexual assault victims.

Obviously I can‘t give you any hints as to how accurate the book is, but I have the feeling that Jae has done her homework and her descriptions as how Dawn feels afterwards and all she‘s going through during the course of the story is well researched. I loved, that this is not your everyday romance despite it haben the traditional meet cute, but also abfresst police and courtroom novel.

Go on, read the book everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars I was gripped!!!

I was gripped!!!

Aiden isn’t impressed that she has to sit through a seminar but when Psychologist lecturer, Dawn Kinsley appears Aiden is instantly taken by surprise, and very much smitten upon first sight. Dawn feels a connection when she is introduced to Aiden after the seminar, but is determined not be involved with another cop, or open herself up to any further hurt that comes with loving those in the profession. When Dawn finds herself at the centre of a case Aiden is working on, Aiden finds herself crossing lines for Dawn that could threaten any chance of happiness they could find together.

The story was a complete thrill, despite the chilling and dark circumstances that present the situation in which Aiden and Dawn find themselves in. It was very edgy, emotionally raw, and just another side to Jae’s amazing writing talents I hadn’t endured before. I was amazed by how easy it was to connect with Aiden, Dawn, their situations, pasts and family in Dawn’s case. Aiden’s family is her professional one, and even there you could feel the connection. There was just so much for you as a reader to become emotionally invested in with this story.

For the most part it had me on the edge of my seat. Dawn and Aiden are going through something very traumatic, and there are a lot of professional and personal conflicts for them both, and together. Despite everything they tried so hard to make whatever relationship was developing between them to work, without causing a ripple effect and impacting the importance of the justice being sought for the case. It was a balancing act, and handled very well. Jae also handled the quite harrowing issues with sensitivity and utmost respect at all times. Although some may find the situation difficult to read about if you can it is definitely worth reading to experience just how strong an emotional connection, and love for one another Aiden and Dawn had.

There was a lot of insecurity and uncertainty for Dawn and Aiden, and for different reasons and from past and present events that had already impacted upon them and shaped their character. Dawn was a strong character who took a knock, and that can be scary as hell, losing confidence and control, whereas Aiden was that tough cookie, with walls of steel and decades of concealed hurt that only held her back. It was beautiful how they complimented each other and really brought them out of themselves.

I highly recommend this story, and am completely blow away with how amazing Jae’s range of talent for writing great stories goes. Is there nothing she can’t do expertly and to absolute perfection! An amazing crime/thriller romance with edge and emotion that shouldn’t be missed!

I’ve recently finished « Conflict of Interest » (Portland Police Bureau Series Book 1) by Jae (from Ylva Publishing).

Seriously I very deeply loved this novel despite the difficult subject of the book ...
It’s a long novel but I never been bored … Jae has a very fluid and dynamic style, so, you can easily let yourself engross into the story which is well written. I’m a huge fan of cop stories so I haven’t been disappointed. The trial’s part was well turned too and all along the book you’ll find a bit of humor … I also liked a lot the way the romance between the main characters and then their personal intimity are built with a lot of patience and decency.
