Just Dreams is a spy thriller with a bit of romance nicely weaved in.
Kathy Brooks is an up and coming partner in a Florida law firm who is assigned as lead attorney to Charles Morgan’s wrongful death lawsuit.
Charles is a former Army sniper and operative whose wife and unborn child were killed in an automobile accident. An accident that he is sure was caused by an agent of Peachtree, a defense contractor. An agent who Charles also believe was working for the CIA on an illegal domestic mission. Unwilling to even consider a settlement, Charles sets out to destroy Peachtree by revealing that their operatives are in fact working for the CIA inside the United States.
Kathy and Charles file his suit and the two of them prepare their complaint only to be thwarted at every turn by Peachtree’s lawyers. As they dig deeper, looking for prior law suits and other evidence, records, people begin to disappear. Soon, it becomes apparent that Peachtree will do everything it can to make Charles’ case go away.
On a trip to New York to look into a previous case, the budding attraction between Charles and Kathy turns into first an affair and later, something much deeper. Upon their return, they find out that their tryst in NY was filmed and that Peachtree has set out to not only have Kathy disbarred, but destroy her life.
As Charles and Kathy refuse to be blackmailed and fight back, Peachtree and their CIA interface, pull out all the stops and they soon realize that they and their friends and family are fair game.
From this point on, Just Dreams will have you reading far beyond your bed time (as it did me) to find out what happens next in this very well written story. Not only is it well written, but it’s characters are well developed, believable and you’ll soon find yourself telling them “watch out!”, “duck!” or “don’t go in there!”
In summary: Just Dreams is a very well written spy thriller, with wonderful, realistic characters and a lot of twists and turns. An excellent read and highly recommended.
