Description Unreasonable Doubts by Reyna Marder Gentin
Jaded New York City Public Defender Liana Cohen would give anything to have one client in whom she can believe. Dozens of hardened criminals and repeat offenders have chipped away at her faith in both herself and the system. Her boyfriend Jakob’s high-powered law firm colleagues see her do-gooder job as a joke, which only adds to the increasing strain in their relationship.
Enter imprisoned felon Danny Shea, whose unforgivable crime would raise a moral conflict in an attorney at the height of her idealism―and that hasn’t been Liana in quite a while. But Danny’s astonishing blend of good looks, intelligence, and vulnerability intrigues Liana. Could he be the client she’s been longing for―the wrongly accused in need of a second chance? Is he innocent? As their attorney-client relationship transforms into something less than arm’s length, Liana is forced to confront fundamental questions of truth, faith, and love―and to decide who she wants to be.

My Thoughts Close Encounters of the Traveling Kind by Amanda Jayne
When I was a girl I loved to do adventurous things like sliding down snow filled hills and tubing down a river. As an adult I have done some mountain climbing and parasailing but I have never done anything as adventurous as Amanda Jayne has done!
In ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ Amanda Jayne has written a series of essays telling of her death defying travel adventures. Her writing is such that she draws you in and makes you feel like you were on these adventures with her. My entire body was clenched so tight while reading that I was quite sore.
I love how Jayne outlines the “reasons for near-death” at the beginning of each essay, “retrospective tips on how not to die”, and “lessons learned” at the end of each essay. The first essay was from when she was an English teacher in Japan. One drunken night her and her fellow teachers came up with the bright idea to climb Mount Fuji together. However, when the time came, only Amanda and one other teacher showed up. It quickly became apparent that they were ill equipped and had little idea of how to climb safely.
Jayne really shows her writing skills in this little book of essays and I hope she keeps writing! She has a wicked sense of humor and can really capture the beauty and danger of nature as well as those real life characters that can help you risk life and limb. I plan to keep my adventures small but I would love to read about more travel adventures that Amanda Jayne experiences. I would also love to see her try her hand as a fiction writer, I really think she has the skill. I highly recommend ‘Close Encounters of the Traveling Kind’!
5/5
I read the ebook for an honest review.
About Amanda Jayne
Amanda Jayne never wanted to live a normal life, which she has achieved with resounding success so far. She realised books were magic and could take you to other places, times and universes when she was very young and wanted to become an author immediately. However, she waited several decades so she could do other things first.
Her love for travel began with a six month South Africa trip at age 18 and continued with short jaunts in Eastern Europe during the years she worked in the mental health field.
As soon as she realised offices, rules and regulations were not her thing, she left her job and her native England to find out more about the world and the amazing array of people living in it. She spent 10 years living and travelling in various countries and finally returned to the UK in 2009 after gaining a masters in Spiritual Psychology in the USA and walking 1,200 km around the 88 temples pilgrimage in Shikoku, Japan.
These days she teaches Jikiden Reiki, makes websites and writes books. She’s sometimes quite busy. Some of the things she loves are trees, art, being with friends, making up stories for her nephews, karaoke, cats and dark chocolate, not necessarily in that order. She lives in a quiet corner of Kent in the UK and tries, but usually fails, to stay there for long periods of time.
