Review
"Hate isn’t something you’re born with, it’s taught."
KC Lynn and K. Langston have ventured into a book world that is different than what I'm used to reading and they've pulled it off beautifully.
Unlawful justice is an amazing story about how the ties that bind us are always being tugged and tested even if it's beneath the surface.
And what lies beneath can be dangerous, scary and shocking.
KC and K show us how a simple act of self-defense can be a catalyst that impacts the lives of so many.
Impacting and changing them forever.
Relationships will be strained, friendships tested but in the end justice just might prevail.
“Well then, I choose peace.” My breath hitches as I try to hold back my tears. “I choose love, not hate.”
Race, friendships, careers, safety, retaliation, retribution, love, hate and everything in between is put on the line as a town fights to rise above the battle lines that have been drawn by an act which effects have spiraled out of control affecting everything in its wake.
How do you overcome the ugliness of racism, injustice and hatred?
KC Lynn and K. Langston not only weaved the emotional tale that answers these questions, but they teach us an important lesson, one I'll not soon forget...
WE STAND TOGETHER.
PEACE and LOVE.
RISE ABOVE the HATE.
Despite the deep seeded issues of racial tensions and emotional upheaval we also get a love story because after all we all need a bit of sunshine when faced with such important social issues.
Meet Grayson and Liv. Simply put I adored them. Everything about their union made me smile. I loved how protective and determined Gray was and how resilient and determined to fight and overcome Liv was.
I highly recommend this book

Excerpt
His gaze softens as he cups the side of my neck. “Jesus, you should never feel insecure. You’re fucking beautiful, Liv, bruises or not. Nothing in the world could ever change that.”
I watch him carefully, his sincerity tearing through my defenses. “You really mean that, don’t you?”
He rears back, the skin between his brows bunching together in deep valleys of confusion. “Of course I do. How could you not know that?”
I shrug. “I don’t know. I guess it’s…” I pause for a moment before deciding to bare it all. “It’s hard for me to believe you still think I’m beautiful despite finding me the way you did.”
Understanding dawns and he quickly shakes his head. “No, not ever. That didn’t change the way I look at you. Yes, it fucking gutted me to see you that way, but not once did I think any less of you.” He pulls me closer while his determined gaze bores into mine. His jaw flexes, the rhythm of his chest growing heavier. “It should have never happened. Nothing so hateful should have ever touched something so beautiful. But make no mistake, Liv, when I look at you, I don’t see the girl I found that day, I see the girl who survived it all. You’re fucking beautiful, inside and out, nothing or no one will ever change that.”
My breath hitches as tears blur my eyes, his words healing my wounded soul. “You make me feel beautiful,” I choke out softly.
“Good, baby, because you are, every inch of you, and don’t ever fucking forget it.” He closes the small space between our mouths, his lips claiming mine in a heated caress as his tongue sweeps in.
