About this ebook

Former prosecutor turned hotshot defense attorney, Jackie DelRay, is a star in the shark-infested judicial waters of Washington, DC. Behind her take-no-prisoners façade, she hides a painful secret, and a longing for FBI Special Agent Beckett Pearson—the man who captured her heart during a passion-filled weekend in college. The same man who still holds a grudge over a case Jackie refused to prosecute several years ago. When Beck is arrested for the shocking murder of the FBI director’s estranged wife, Jackie breaks every rule about being emotionally involved with her client - knowing the risks to her heart and her career - and rushes to defend him.

 

Former model and football star, Beck has finally found his home with the Bureau. He wants nothing to do with the sexy lawyer who left him without a goodbye twelve years ago and then destroyed his first, and most important, missing persons investigation. Now, with his freedom on the line, Jackie’s brilliant legal mind may be his one hope at staying out of prison.

 

When their investigation is mired by political alliances and reckless greed, Beck and Jackie battle corruption at the highest levels. That battle includes resisting the long-buried passion they shared twelve years ago, but will a killer bent on stopping their investigation give them a fight they are bound to lose?

With just the right blend of romance and suspense, the writing team of Misty Evans and Adrienne Giordano once again delivers another fabulous read! Add the fact that this is a second chance romance and I knew I wouldn’t be able to put this one down. Beck and Jackie were both great characters and worked so well together. Their past hasn’t left them on the best of terms with each other, but the attraction that burned hot on their first meeting is something that neither of them can forget. I loved how strong and driven Jackie was. She didn’t think twice when it came to rushing to help Beck, despite their past. Beck was such an interesting character and I loved that he practiced holistic medicine and was very health-oriented – not something you normally see from a hero. And he’s the total package when it comes to a hero – hot, alpha, and skilled. Like the other books in this series, the authors take the reader on the journey with the characters, uncovering clues and information as the story progresses, really making you feel like you are along for the ride. I also loved that they were able to do that with the relationship between Beck and Jackie as well – since they have a shared past we get to learn about their meeting and events in between, and I loved how that worked. And of course, it wouldn’t be a Justice Team book without getting spend at least a little time with some of the characters from other books in the series. I just can’t imagine a book without getting to learn what crazy t-shirt Mitch is wearing or what crazy stuff might be coming out of his mouth! This was a fast-paced read that was easy to get into and stay with from start to finish. The writing between the two authors is seamless, and together they have such a wonderful writing style and voice that everything, from the plot, to the dialogue, to the pacing, blended perfectly. Another great read I would highly recommend to anyone!

LOVED this book! I literally couldn't put it down. This starts with a bang and keeps the fast pace until the very last page. I loved the characters and Beck and Jackie's story. The authors made me feel invested in their story and care about the outcome. Don't start this one too late in the evening or you'll be awake all night until you finish it. This one is a must read for fans of the genre. While this is part of a series, this is a stand alone novel, however, it's so good that you really owe it to yourself to read the whole series. Both of the authors are on my must read authors' list.

I loved this book. It is a standalone book but you may enjoy it more if you read the other books in the Justice Team series as this book contains characters from them. The suspense, the plot, the sexy hero and heroine as well as the steamy sex are amazing. I couldn't put it down.
