Matt Royal was a high-powered attorney in Atlanta, when his world disintegrated when his wife left him. Deciding that the law wasn't for him anymore, he "retired" to Longboat Key in Florida.  When his friend Logan is accused of murdering his sometimes girlfriend, Matt comes out of retirement to find the real murderer and save his friend.

I loved the story and the characters.  I'm not sure whether the problems were in the editing or in the writing - grammar errors and spelling errors popped up every so often.  Once I figured out what the writer intended, I was able to move forward.  In the first book that I read which was later in this series, there were no problems, so I'm thinking editing.

I will definitely continue the series.
