Innocent Until Proven Guilty

I really enjoy this story's blend of intrigue, romance, drama and humor. I'm as excited to see where the main characters relationship goes as to find the solution to the mystery. I enjoy how the main characters have contracting personalities and viewpoints that make it understandable why they would start as enemies, but warm to one another as they learn more about each other. The female lead Andrea is strong without falling into the trap a lot of "strong female characters" so of just being mean all the time. She's confident, talented and principled without being a Mary-Sue, but when you get to see her thoughts, she's also conflicted and struggles with self-doubt. She is kind of mean to Kyle sometimes, but recognizes that she finds him irrationally irritating. Kyle starts out as something of the classic rich handsome talented archetype, but it works for the character and there have been opportunities for him to show more depth. I'm looking forward to learning more about him. The supporting cast are some of my favorites. I hope the author finds an excuse to have more scenes with Madison! The chapters are consistently a satisfying length, and have been released on a regular schedule so far. The writing does a great job of painting the scene. I feel like I could imagine exactly what a lot of the scenes would look like if they were filmed for a tv show. I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes next! 👍

I am obsessed with this book! I literally cannot put it down! The writing is superb— truly on a level of it’s own. It flows so well and draws you in. And I am so intrigued by the plot and solving the mystery! I love the little bread crumbs subtly left behind, the misdirection and twists, and oh the characters! The character development is SO good! The banter and personalities are hilarious and the romance and tension is exciting and realistic (not cheasy and fluffy), and you truly fall in love with them! I LOVE this book—I HIGHLY recommend it! You will not regret any time spent reading it!

Reads like the work of a seasoned writer! The author weaves a touching and tender love story into a crime drama that is really genius in the way it plays out. Fresh, clever, surprising and an absolute MUST READ! And bonus: there’s a Burrito!

Author here! 👀 I’m not above writing a review for my own story, but mostly so I can tell you what to expect. Plus, not gonna lie, I’m super excited with the way it’s shaping up and want to sway any fence-sitters into giving it a try. Please, please, if you find the first chapter intriguing, then give it a chance through the first ten chapters— I’m hoping it will take less than that to convince you to continue. The early chapters set up a lot for the characters. It’s my hope to have a somewhat non-WN-standard contemporary romance that will have broad appeal. I know this sounds like “Jack of all trades, master of none”—but don’t forget that the original quote continues—“oftentimes better than a master of one!” So you just might find a gem here. Mystery, humor, twists, intelligent characters, crime, action, betrayal… all within the bounds of an enemies-to-lovers romance. (Don’t expect smut, sorry. Intimacy, yes.) In terms of writing, you may find the occasional typo, but I go to great lengths to publish the best writing possible, so errors will be minimal. Length— I make no predictions about how long the complete story will be. It will continue as long as the plot requires. I don’t like filler just to boost the chapter count. If I think of anything more, I’ll add it as a comment below. Thank you! Happy reading! 🧡

Such a shame I didn't start to read this novel earlier! It was a fantastic immersive reading, characters stood out like in a movie, dialogues flowing easily, the intrigue, the suspense. Definitely following!

Flawless writing and engaging plot. Right from the beginning you can already tell it's going to be a treat, as it starts with a pretty solid approach to mystery, which somewhat reminded me of Agatha Christie. The characters are relatable and life-like, but what I love the most about them is how their psychological aspect is conveyed through their attire, gestures and even by their likes/dislikes more than with words. Giving this book a chance means submerging into a chaotic office life, with everyday struggles, but also into the world of 'justice' where gray is either black or white. In summary, it's a fun read with comical situations and, hopefully, a spicy romance between lawyers. PS. Dibs on Madison

To become invested in a book, you have to be invested in the characters. They need to be complex, intriguing, flawed, endearing, captivating, engaging, varied, and believable. And the cast of characters in Innocent Until Proven Guilty is just that. The main characters have layers that are slowly peeled back little by little with each chapter. The author makes you root for these characters - personally, professionally, and romantically. You become connected to them, and if you look hard enough, you might even find a little bit of yourself within their story. This book hooks you in the most startling way, but it is the continual character development that keeps you coming back for more. Whether it's the main or supporting characters, you'll come back to read what they do next. In addition to the masterful characterization, the imagery and word choice create a vivid mental picture that delights both the mind and literary soul. You won't regret adding this book to your library, so don't do yourself the injustice of letting this one get away!

I actually got hooked by the first chapter and my brain forced me to write a review for this outstanding work the author slowest cook, am still in chapter 14, and I will continue reading it later cus I need to rest for now. Expecting more updates from you soon

Absolute page turner

I did not expect to enjoy this novel nearly as much as I am. Most books involving lawyers are inaccurate to the point of being cringey and irritating. I was ready to be disappointed. That has not happened. This is a refreshingly fun, well-written novel that has made it into my highly selective list of books I will keep reading. The characters are three dimensional and well developed. The personalities are compelling, the plot intriguing but not difficult to keep up with, and the descriptions vivid without being distracting. The few (so far) legal things that aren’t quite on point are so minor as to be easily overlooked. The mystery is so engaging and well-paced that even the most curmudgeonly of practicing attorneys would continue reading. I’m excited to find out how the mystery resolves!

This book has EVERYTHING! You’ve got drama, you’ve got romance, you’ve got mystery, you’ve got comedy, and most importantly you have phenomenal writing and world creation. You will be enthralled, captivated, and sitting on the edge of your seat (at the end of most chapters,and luckily for you, the next chapter is already published!) This is honestly one of the best books I have found on WebNovel and you will not regret picking up this book!!!

I am binge reading this book. The characters are fun and entertaining; and of course there is Burrito 🤭. The murder mystery is full of twists and turns; and just when you think “AHa” there is a turn that has one guessing. The reader/author comments are also so much fun. I recommend you binge read it too 🎉🎉🎉

It’s a really great story with good humor. I laughed a lot and it was really heartwarming ❤️

This is my favorite web novel yet. Love the chemistry between the leads and character development. Can’t wait to finish it!
