Professional Camouflage

City Attorney's Office, Book One

De: Christopher Stockwell

Narrado por: Allan Aquino

Jack was never “right,” but that’s a lot of what made him magnetic to other people. When he was younger, he was that guy that girls wanted to be around. People were drawn in by him, even later on when there wasn’t much of him left. I never understood that. He never really put a lot of energy into grooming and maintaining relationships with people. I guess when you see someone that is content spending their time alone, it creates a vacuum and people flood in like water choking a storm drain.

Even as his deterioration became apparent, people threw him lifelines. The tragedy of Jack was that he always seemed so close to salvageable. If you loved him, and I did, you could never stop trying to pull him back into the lifeboat, but you just couldn’t. He was always just out of reach. It would have been easier to cut him loose if he was just an obvious lost cause. The fact that the world left him behind is no reason to ignore his existence. It’s the opposite. The fact that the world left him behind is the reason someone needs to tell his story.

Transgressive author Christopher J. Stockwell's absurdist and satirical take on transgressive fiction goes beyond the confined by norms paradigm and into the gutter.

Not your typical romance drama

The story doesn’t play by the usual rules, and that’s what makes it so fun. The characters are messy and relatable, their battles are raw, and the humor keeps everything moving. It’s a mix of absurdity and real moments that makes you laugh and think at the same time. Definitely not your typical romance or legal drama, but that’s what makes it stand out.

Highly recommend!

The story dives into the high-stakes world of the City Attorney's Office, blending suspense and authenticity with compelling characters and unexpected twists. Stockwell’s experience shines through, making the legal details both accessible and thrilling. I couldn’t put it down and can’t wait for Book Two!

A Fresh and Funny Take on the Legal World

This is not your typical courtroom drama—Stockwell, a former prosecutor, gives us an authentic look at the people behind the legal battles, and trust me, it’s as messy and entertaining as real life gets.

It dives dives into the chaotic lives of Seattle's lawyers with humor and heart. The characters are a breath of fresh air. Ben, the main character, is a bit of a jerk at times, but his flaws make him relatable and real. You’ll find yourself rooting for him and his complicated relationships with Maria and Erin, who are equally fascinating. The love triangle adds just the right amount of drama to keep things interesting.

What I really loved was the biting satire. Stockwell doesn’t shy away from poking fun at the political dynamics within the Seattle legal scene, showing how even those on the same side can clash. Plus, if you enjoy a good audiobook, Allan Aquino’s narration is spot-on—it brings the whole story to life!

So if you’re looking for a fresh twist on romance that pulls back the curtain on the legal world, this book is for you. It’s just a great mix of romance, comedy, and insightful commentary on the legal system that will keep you hooked from start to finish.
