Synopsis:
Cairo Ivory was content being an all-around attorney. She didn’t mind
handling the occasional divorce, but after two years of earning the firm a
sizeable income, she is burned-out. Dealing with bitter, disillusioned
adults altered her view on love. Relationships are nothing more than
glorified one-night-stands. Her workweeks become more chaotic when she
discovers her boss’ dead body.
She does all she can to help the handsome Detective Campbell, and then she
is faced with her greatest challenge of all. Jose Sanchez. With all the
craziness going on in her life, could he be the one to remind her that some
relationships can last forever?

Cairo's friends think that she is as dry as
the Sahara Desert. She hasn't had a serious male relationship in over
three years and they think it's time for her to hook up with Mr. Right.
Cairo is not really interested in finding Mr. Right because being a
divorce attorney with a success rate in the ninety percentile has left her
weary of the who marriage thing. That is until she meets one of her best
friend's co-workers, Jose. Jose has some serious relationship issues that
Cairo wants to help straighten out but demands at work has her stretched
pretty thin. Between one of the Partners involved in a same sex
extra-marital relationship turning up murdered in the office and one of
her "I'm more important that this entire office" clients being sued by her
ex-husband for rings he considers a family heirloom, Cairo has a lot on
her plate. But some things are more important and when Cairo prioritizes,
everything falls into place.
The Sun Rose Over
Cairo was a novel that made you think that this could so happen
to someone in real life. Ms. Littlejohn's characters could have easily
been any group of friends and the hilarious things they go through on a
daily basis. I can really relate to knowing someone nicknamed "Pumkin"
that has a first name that makes most people say, "Huh?" The gradual
romance between Jose and Cairo started out as friends and then progressed
to lovers who I thought would stand the test of marriage and become one of
the "Old Marriages" that lasted "until death do us part." I so enjoyed
the characters in this book that I hope to see what happens to the other
women in their quest to find Mr. Right.
