This is the situation that Matt Laughlin finds himself in when his sister is brutally murdered at the hands of her husband, who happens to be the brother to Linnea Sinclair. Since Matt lives and works out of the country Linnea is the one who has temporary custody Hanna, but Matt believes that Hanna would be better of with him, and is willing to do what it takes to get custody.

Thus the battle begins, but in the end will it truly be a battle over where Hanna should live, or will it be a battle of Matt and Linnea finding out that they have true feelings for one another, and want to share not only custody of Hanna, but of their lives as well?

MATCH MADE IN COURT by Janice Kay Johnson takes a very serious look at domestic violence and how it affects not only the immediate members of the household, but those who have to pick up the pieces of the destruction after the fact. Both Matt and Linnea struggle with their feelings towards not only Linnea's brother, Finn, but with the unrelenting belief from Linnea's parents that Finn couldn't have possibly murdered his wife Tess, either intentionally or accidentally.

While the issues presented in MATCH MADE IN COURT are hard to deal with, Ms. Johnson told a story succinctly and did in my opinion an excellent job of showing how two children raised together could turn out so differently.

I've only recently rediscovered how much I enjoy the SuperRomance Line, and now I know that when I see a title from Janice Kay Johnson, I will be in for a read that I will be unable to put down until the last page is turned.
