Hero De Facto
SUPER-SIZED FIRST EDITION! Canyon Pointe city attorney Harri Winters hates supers. They sure hadn’t been around to save her parents when she was a kid. She never dreamed she’d change her mind…
Until the day a new superhero rescues her from Professor Venom’s attack at City Hall. The mayor accuses her of conspiring with the supervillain and fires her. But the attack wasn’t some random occurrence. The more she digs into the event, the more she discovers things aren’t what she always thought.
Can she bring down the real bad guys with the help of an inexperienced superhero, a supervillain desperately trying to go straight, and a middle-aged vigilante way over his prime? Or will her law partner and staff only be more casualties in the war between good and evil?
The Law Offices of Winters & Franklin, where the only thing more dangerous than a superhero is his attorney.

This is such amazing world the author has built that gives the story a can't put it down until finished expectation. A solid story with great characters and a happy for now with some issues resolved, some carried over into the next book. This was not the story I thought I was buying-it is better.

Super legal
A solid read, with well considered characters and good narrative force. This is a polished and professional novel. Nobody is wildly overpowered, there isn’t a lot of handwavium (aside from the superpowers), and there is serious complexity in the plot. The worldbuilding is mostly narrow, but there are glimpses of global matters sufficient to a novel focused on a small group of people.
The romances are fairly tame, although one scene with neighbors will raise eyebrows.
I am going to buy the next book. Best recommendation I can make.

I stopped reading it at 14%.
First, what I liked:
I like how the main character wasn't a super hot 20 something girl. She's a middle-aged woman with regrets in her life and real problems. She had a moral and ethical code and she does her best, even when it hampers her career, to adhere to that code.
The narrative and dialog are believable and flows well. Technically speaking, it's well written and flows well.
What I didn't like and why I stopped reading it:
This book is feminist/SJW propaganda. All the protagonists are women and/or people of color. All the bad people are...you guessed it...white men.
The assistant is single and pregnant, but she don't need no man.
The best friend is a black female lawyer that's at the top of her game, but is oppressed at her office by the good ole boy club who suck at their jobs.
The main hero is an illegal immigrant who's just trying to be a good person, but can't do anything without a woman thinking for him and providing him food.
The blackmailed ex-villain turned good citizen is a weak-willed buffoon that all but worships the female characters.
I'm sick of seeing this crap on TV and in movies, I'm not going to spend the time to read it too.

good story at first with interesting characters and developing plot lines, and then the whole thing devolved into romance - yuck - i really want to read about women who have other things on their minds!

Great Romp
I enjoyed this a surprising amount. It is filled with believable and sympathetic characters in an interesting world with enough twists to keep it interesting.

I Thought at First this book would be corney, I was Wrong
This book came together real well. There was growth, in friendships and family. It could have turned into a fiasco, but it didn’t. This book made me happy I read it. Thank you.
