Sex crimes Detective Aiden Carlisle is slowly getting used to being in a committed relationship with Dawn Kinsley - a relationship that isn't always easy since Dawn is not only a psychologist but also a former victim in one of Aiden's cases. Aiden's private and professional lives collide when Dawn's newest patient gets in trouble with the law. Will she be able to stay objective enough to solve the case without pushing Dawn away?

The same case also throws Deputy District Attorney Kade Matheson's well-ordered life into chaos. In the last few years, Kade has taken case files and law books, not lovers, to bed. She has been focused on her career, but now the case forces her to finally face her attraction to women. She suddenly finds herself with two secret admirers, but which one is more dangerous - the threat to her life or to her heart?

Contains mature themes.

As Jae pulls you into the story with excellent character development she finely weaves a fascinating story together with several subplots. Each person is easily identified by the outstanding narration making the story an easy listen.
Jae’s ability to make the most complex personalities understandable to we mortals not trained in the psychological matters of the mind is a pure delight.
There was only one out of many storylines I knew “who done it” before the perp was identified. That takes talent and Jae’s was on full display.
Well done Jae, well done!

I enjoyed the storyline but was more interested in the love interest with Dell and Kade. Cast of characters was believable but the stalker situation could have been more surprising. I would have loved a third book (?) focusing on the evolution of Kade and Dells relationship dilemmas and the prim mother in law. Narration as always, was fantastic with Dawe.

The Cast Of Characters and Writing Were Very Good!

I loved this story full of intrigue, growing emotions and coming into oneself. The characters dealt with life issues as they grew to understand themselves and love each other. It tackles the difficult topic of unconditional on so many levels. So artfully written, I loved this 2nd book and seeing characters develop. I love Abby Craden brought the characters to life in this magnificent audible listen.

Family is often chosen, always a work of love.

I'm a new fan of Jae, and an old fan of Abby Craden! The other characters from Conflict of Interest get more attention in Next of Kin. Plus a bonus: the last 6 chapters are the novella that was written by Jae, focusing more on Cade and her mother, Sophie.
Highly recommend! Abby Craden is the best!
