About the Book Delilah

My thoughts:

I really enjoyed getting to know Delilah in this book.  She has a lot more depth than I first thought.  When I started reading this book I did not realize that there were other books that came before this one.  So now I’m on the hunt for them all to learn more about the other characters.

Delilah is an ex judge now back to acting as a lawyer.  Her first case in a courtroom after being the judge has her landed in a holding cell after being found in contempt of court.  Yeap.  She did it.  It may have won her the case though so maybe it was worth it?

What I found hilarious though about this is the party that followed because she had been found in contempt.  It seems her friends knew she’d get a bit out of hand and were counting on her spending time in a jail cell.  Makes me want to read their stories as well!

Her punishment for having been found in contempt of court is some community service time with the homeless.  Not bad.  She can handle it.  Working with teens?  Again, not bad and she can handle it.  What she didn’t count on was her friends interest in her past.  Also not counted on were the harmless people sending her into flash backs.  

Newly a Christian she’s not sure where she stands.  She’s not sure how to forgive and overcome parts of her past.  They  made her who she is today but they’re harsh, they’re bad, and they’re best left where they are.  Or so she thinks.

Travel with Delilah as she makes new friends(and maybe finds some love) while finally coming to terms with her past.  Oh and don’t forget the action packed courtroom.

Book: Delilah

Author: Fay Lamb

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: September, 2018

They’ve sparred for years, but now they’re both headed for a knockout in Delilah.

Newly elected judge, John M. Turner, tries his best to soothe the hard feelings of former Circuit Judge Delilah James, the woman he bested in the election by only a narrow margin, but his friend’s and her haughty reputation are making it difficult for him to let things slide. Worse yet, a vengeful assistant state attorney, the other candidate whose entry in the race actually handed the win to John, is seeking to have them both removed from the Florida Bar.

Delilah wants to make amends to John, but every time she attempts to apologize or to behave in court, she makes a mess of it. Since leaving the bench, life has become complicated: John’s teenager sister hates her, Libby Carter, has been arrested for battery on a police officer and embroiled her in the plight of the homeless, her past has returned to haunt her, and if that’s not enough, she’s fallen into the one experience in life she never thought would happen to her. John finally offers to make peace, but Delilah’s not ready for that.

Calling a truce with the man you love? What’s the fun in that?

When Delilah came on the scene as the ruthless antagonist for Charisse in the first book of the Why Delilah?

by Fay Lamb

When Delilah came on the scene as the ruthless antagonist for Charisse in the first book of the Ties that Bind series, a reader wrote to me before finishing the story and said, “I hope Delilah gets hers.” I replied that she definitely did, but it would not be in the way that she thought. Since the release of Charisse, I heard from many readers who fell in love with Delilah, this delightfully fiendish character who changed in some ways from story to story but never truly lost her brash personality that made her who she is.

I never meant to give Dee her own story, but like many of the characters I write, I find that those that I consider truly secondary are the ones that seem to capture the imagination of the readers. I have a character in a little-known book that I wrote in 1999 that my readers still ask me about today, and characters in a writing tutorial that I used as examples have an adoring audience. The same was true of Delilah. When I sent the synopses in for Charisse, Libby, and Hope, the stories which at that time, encompassed the series, the publisher indicated I could have the contract on one condition: if Delilah got a story of her own. Who was I to argue?

As I completed the other two novels in the series and five other novels in different series for the same publisher, I worked on Delilah in my mind. She wouldn’t let me alone, and she never ceased to amaze me with her story. When she told me her background, I laughed aloud. When she learned her connection to one of the other gals in the series, I cried and rejoiced with her. Delilah truly had me on a roller coaster ride of emotions, and I couldn’t wait to sit down and tell her unique tale set against the backdrop of Central Florida’s homelessness and our wonderful natural resources. It is truly my hope that you’ll come along for the ride.
