The USA Today Best Selling Justice Brothers Box Set
 
Three extraordinary men and the women who love them. 
 
How much distance do you need from your past before the dust settles?
 
 
Broken Justice
Cameron Justice was a throwaway kid heading for trouble. He found a sense of purpose on the battlefield in the Special Forces, but will it be enough to wipe out his painful past? Abused and neglected, Lacey Morrow is a lost girl determined to make something of her life, if only she could catch a break. Unlikely companions thrown together by fate. Now the rest is up to them.
 
 
Fixing Justice
Draegyn St. John is all that and then some…and he knows it. He’s the sexy 007 type, complete with tuxedo and an icy-blue stare. A Special Forces Vet with a serious attitude, he has women falling at his feet. It isn’t even a challenge, until Victoria Bennett comes along. She’s a tomboy waif—more nerd than goddess—who rocks his high and mighty world in a very big way—especially when what happened in Vegas, didn’t stay in Vegas!
 
 
Redeeming Justice
Alexander Marquez is the founder and CEO of the Justice Agency. He’s ex-Special Forces, wounded in action and haunted by regret and what-ifs. After years of too much darkness and not enough light, he’s blindsided when Meghan O’Brien swoops into his life. She’s a ball-busting, curvy goddess who instantly pushes all of Alex’s buttons. When ghosts from the past threaten their relationship, will he finally send the demons packing and lay the past to rest to find his redemption in Meghan’s arms?
 
Sometimes the last thing you expect is exactly what you need.

Synopsis:

Lemon Fresh has seen better days.

After the climactic battle in Babel, she finds herself separated from Ezekiel and Cricket in the wastelands. Lemon’s abilities to manipulate electricity mark her as a deviate, and deadly corporate operatives are hunting her to use as a weapon in the war between BioMaas Incorporated and Daedelus Technologies. Instead, Lemon finds herself falling in with a group of fellow deviates—a band of teenagers with astonishing abilities, led by an enigmatic figure known as the Major, who may hold the secrets to Lemon’s past.

Meanwhile, Cricket finds himself in possession of the puritanical Brotherhood, a religious cult set for a head-on collision with the Major and his band. Searching for Lemon, Ezekiel finds a strange ally in an old enemy, and uncovers a plot that may see him reunited with his beloved Ana.

And inside Babel, a remade Eve hatches a plan to bring an end to the world.

📝My Review📝:

I received this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

4.5 Stars and WOW am I shocked…

Deviate by Jay Kristoff continues the story of Lifelike in this second installment. This time we follow Lemon Fresh’s journey to find herself and to find a family after being kicked to the curb by Eve in the last book. This book is full of heartbreak, tragedy, and lots of destruction. These characters just can’t seem to catch a break but are we really surprised? This is a Jay Kristoff novel after all. I was pleasantly surprised by this book! I did not enjoy Lifelike that much but I wanted to give this book a chance because I absolutely loved Lemon Fresh in the last one. I was not disappointed at all, I really liked this book. Deviate is way better than Lifelike and that is hard to do. It is rare that a second book in a trilogy is the standout.

This series is a dystopian, which typically is not my favorite genre, but there is something about it that makes it stand out from its predecessors. Deviate was a mix of X-Men, Star Wars, and I, Robot with some sass and dystopia thrown in. Where have you ever heard of a combination like that? The only place you can find it is in this series.

I don’t want to say much about the plot of this book because I think it is best to go in not knowing much. What I will say is that we see the squad from the first book split up and doing their own things and finding their purpose. I think this choice to split up the characters was important and the perfect decision. They all grew so much (with the exception of one character who I will not name) in this book and it makes me so excited for the next one.

The reason this book is not a 5 star is because I just can’t stand by or understand some of the characters’ actions. I also am not super sold on all the characters, I liked most of them a lot better in this book but Lemon Fresh is still my standout favorite. There was some slow moments in this book as well that just had me a tad bit bored. Lastly dystopian novels are just not my favorite settings to read.

If you did not like Lifelike that much and are weary of continuing the series here is my advice: DO IT! READ THIS BOOK! It was so worth the chance and I’m glad I took it.

Synopsis:

In this third installment in the #1 bestselling Stalking Jack the Ripper series, a luxurious ocean liner becomes a floating prison of scandal, madness, and horror when passengers are murdered one by one…with nowhere to run from the killer. .

Audrey Rose Wadsworth and her partner-in-crime-investigation, Thomas Cresswell, are en route to New York to help solve another blood-soaked mystery. Embarking on a week-long voyage across the Atlantic on the opulent RMS Etruria, they’re delighted to discover a traveling troupe of circus performers, fortune tellers, and a certain charismatic young escape artist entertaining the first-class passengers nightly.

But then, privileged young women begin to go missing without explanation, and a series of brutal slayings shocks the entire ship. The strange and disturbing influence of the Moonlight Carnival pervades the decks as the murders grow ever more freakish, with nowhere to escape except the unforgiving sea. It’s up to Audrey Rose and Thomas to piece together the gruesome investigation as even more passengers die before reaching their destination. But with clues to the next victim pointing to someone she loves, can Audrey Rose unravel the mystery before the killer’s horrifying finale?

📝My Review📝:

This book was a wild ride and for the first time I actually did not guess the killer!

Escaping From Houdini was such a fun installment to the Stalking Jack The Ripper series. While it was a little slow compared to the previous two it was still fun nonetheless. I loved the addition of the Moonlight Carnival and Mephistophelis totally has my heart I fell for him hard. And due to that I am once again over Thomas and his extra ass. The murders were very interesting due to their connection to tarot and cartomancy. It was also funny seeing Harry Houdini as a character.

Audrey Rose as always was her slightly frustrating self. Her decisions in this book were very questionable. She is supposed to be very smart but it always seems like she is oblivious to the obvious. But she has been that way since the first book so I wasn’t expecting much from her. Not going to lie I was really hoping she would drop Thomas and choose Mephisto but the Cressworth ship unfortunately doesn’t seem like it will sink (pun intended). Thomas was not in this book much and I am sure that is what led to my lack of enjoyment for his character. He is supposed to be able to deduce anything but he couldn’t tell when Audrey Rose was pulling one over on him? She is literally the worst liar in the world she has not one aloof bone in her body. Thomas might win me back in the last book but at this point I am too dedicated to Mephisto. SPEAKING OF…my boy. Literally loved him, every single thing about him. Even though I was suspecting him 90% of the book of being the murderer that changed nothing. I really hope we get to see him again in the last book because his character was too good to just be a one-off. I loved that Liza was back in this book. I missed her and Audrey Rose desperately needed her female partner in crime. She is so intelligent and observant that I wish she would join the Uncle/Thomas/Audrey Rose squad. I hope she is more present in the last book too.

This wasn’t the best installment in the series. It was pretty predictable and followed a pattern that was easy to figure out. There really wasn’t much suspense and anticipation for me. While there were many positive things about this book it just was not a 5 star. Hunting Prince Dracula, this book’s predecessor, was so amazing it is going to be hard to beat.

Overall I really liked this book and this series remains one that I enjoy very much. I definitely recommend this series, don’t be turned off by historical fiction! I cannot wait for the final installment in the series, Capturing The Devil.

Synopsis:

Given the way love turned her heart in the New York Times bestselling To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, which School Library Journal called a “lovely, lighthearted romance,” it’s no surprise that Laura Jean still has letters to write.

Lara Jean didn’t expect to really fall for Peter.

She and Peter were just pretending. Except suddenly they weren’t. Now Lara Jean is more confused than ever.

When another boy from her past returns to her life, Lara Jean’s feelings for him return too. Can a girl be in love with two boys at once?

In this charming and heartfelt sequel to the New York Times bestseller To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, we see first love through the eyes of the unforgettable Lara Jean. Love is never easy, but maybe that’s part of what makes it so amazing.

📝My Review📝:

John Ambrose McClaren where have you been all my life?

Wow what a huge improvement from the first book and all due to one character. In this sequel to TATBILB we see Lara Jean finally being upfront and open about her feelings for Peter. They have started dating for real and…it’s not going too well but are we surprised? No I always thought they were a messy couple. I think book Peter K is such a jerk Noah Centineo actually made that character likable for me so I am eager for the adaptation of this book. Lara Jean and Peter have major relationship drama over the ever lovely Genevieve, what else is new?

Peter is literally a piece of trash Lara Jean deserves so much better. After all the things he did in this book I would not have forgiven him. In my opinion Lara Jean is very blinded and keeps forgiving him time and time again when he shouldn’t be forgiven at all. He never really apologizes for anything and he says some really messed up stuff to her sometimes. He is not worth all the drama and pain Lara Jean let him go!!! Though I must say he was not as big of an ass as he was in the first book but still that is not a compliment.

John Ambrose McClaren is literally goals and Lara Jean is an idiot. This is a beautiful, sweet, smart, kind, funny, amazing, talented, polite, fun, RESPECTFUL, and all around perfect guy who LIKES HER and she is like “lol but I still love Peter!!” Girl WHY?! I would have dumped Peter the second that letter from John arrived…well I would not have been with Peter in the first place if I were her but still. John Ambrose is so down for everything Lara Jean wants to do and never complained. He drove all the way to her school just to give her a birthday present *cries*. I am just going to be so upset if these two don’t end up together at some point because they are so good together and Peter is trash.

I wish there was more of Josh in this book. He was barely in it and I’m sad that him and Lara Jean didn’t really try to rekindle their friendship in full force like it was before everything happened. I really like all the characters (sans Peter and Gen) and I enjoy when we get more of them. I loved all the Lucas we got in this book, my king!

One of my biggest problems of the last book was the immaturity of Lara Jean. She read like a child and I really hated it. In this book she was much better but still had those immature moments. Girl you are seventeen please act like it. I get that she’s “innocent” but guess what so am I and I didn’t act like I was twelve when I was seventeen. I really hope the last book gives me a Lara Jean who acts her age.

All in all I really loved this book. Granted nothing really happened but again this book is more character driven than plot driven. Also John Ambrose was everything.

Cole has found himself in many situations he shouldn’t have been in. The last one landed him in prison. With his ego, tattoos, and backwards hat, he fits the classic scrub persona. But now that he’s back out in the world, he is committed to making something of himself. This is his second chance and he refuses to waste it.

As Cole tries to win her over, Brooke attempts to keep their relationship professional, only seeing the ex-con, not the man he has become. She doesn’t get involved with her parolees. Ever. No matter how attracted she might be. But Cole is determined to make her see the new and improved him.

How can Brooke risk everything on one of her parolees? Could Cole and the possibility of love be worth it?



 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
I started reading when the fifty shades phenomenon happened a few years ago. I have read hundreds of books since then and a story playing around in my head for quite a while. I finally got it out and published and I’m so proud of my first baby. It has many flaws, but it was my first. I’ve written four since and with each one I’ve grown. I’m more proud and in love with the characters and their stories. There will be many more to come. I love writing!

Excerpt
“No, Neve,
these guys are from my clubhouse. They’ve come to check in on me. Say hello,
everyone,” Cindi calls out.
Neve. What
a gorgeous name. Her eyes light up as she assesses me again.
“These are
the kinds of bikers in your clubhouse? No wonder you were telling me they’re
all gorgeous. I mean look at muscles here.”
She points
at Noah, then her eyes wander back to me.
“And man
bun… wow! Certainly not how I pictured macho bikers.”
I scrunch
my face. “You don’t think we’re biker enough for you, darlin’?” I ask.
Her lips
pull in tight, but the edges curl upward giving her away as she folds her arms
over her chest, the papers making a crinkling sound.
“I think
your hair is far too pretty to convey a murderous one percenter.”
I let out a
small laugh. “How do you know what a one percenter is?”
She shrugs.
“I saw Sons of Anarchy.”
I raise my
brow. “And did you think Jax was a badass?”
She
hesitates, but her lips turn up. Her pearly whites dazzle me like the stars do
after the dimness of dusk. In this moment right here, I have to stop and admire
her true beauty.
“Yeah… he
had his moments.”
I’m snapped
out of her spell and brought back into the moment, so I make my point.
“And didn’t
he and his badass-self have long, pretty hair, too?”
Noah howls
like a damn hyena as Cindi gives me a double thumbs up.
Neve tilts
her head. “Touché, Tarzan.”

My life—my family’s lives—froze in grief that torturous

Now she’s back and as irresistible as ever.
I shouldn’t want her. I can’t have her. But I need her.
And she needs me. I may have to conceal all my wounds just
to survive being around her again, but I’m willing to do it to help her build
her dreams and her business. It’s what I do. It’s what I know. I’m damn good at
it.

~ Five brothers, one family tragedy, untold heartache. ~
I’m big, I’m brash, I’m the enemy’s worst nightmare.

undercover narcotics stings.
What I can’t seem to overcome is the pain inflicted upon me
and my family when my baby sister disappeared off the face of the earth more
than a decade ago.
A piece of my history is missing, and the only way to cope is
by masking my agony behind smiles and laughter. But that’s the worst kind of
lie because that demon still haunts me, and as we get closer and closer to an
answer about our sister, I feel further and further away from my truth.
At least, until she stormed into my life, a
whirlwind of bravado and sex-appeal.

~ Five brothers, one family tragedy, untold heartache. ~
I’ve always been the quiet one. The brother no one noticed.
When my sister disappeared, it was easy to disappear right
along with her, losing myself to my own personal hell and hidden pain, unable
to face a life that didn’t make sense anymore—unable to face a family that no
longer felt whole.
I hunted and searched until I found my way out. Driven by my
need to understand who or what took my sister from us, I learned all I could
about the human brain, becoming an FBI Criminal Behavior Analyst. This is what
has led me directly into the path of the monster who might hold the key to our
family’s greatest pain . . . and straight back to the woman who I thought I’d
never see again.
I met Tenley Cooper on a whim. One weekend of freedom. One
weekend where I lost the pain that chained me down. One weekend that I lived
the sweetest of lies—a lie that has come back to haunt me in the best possible
way.
What does it take to bring the prodigal son home?
The truth.
My name is Joshua Creed.
I am The Prodigal.
***Reader note: This is the fourth of a 6-part emotional
family saga series. Each story is 100% male first-person point-of-view, and
while each full-length novel is guaranteed to have a complete HEA romance,
their family mystery remains unsolved until the end of the series.

~ Five brothers, one family tragedy, untold heartache. ~
 
Blind rage. Cold-hearted violence. These are my mistresses.
 
I’m not the man they believe me to be. I’ve contented myself with surviving.
Thriving on the blood of my sport. A mere shell of a man since my twin sister
was ripped from my life more than a decade ago with no sign, no trace, no
clues, and no closure. Half of my soul was torn from my body in the blink of an
eye, leaving me to flail in the wind as I grapple with the brutal aftermath.
The only beacon of hope, the only light that has ever shone in my dismal world,
has been Eden Montes—my sister’s best friend. The one girl I could never have,
but have always wanted. She’s just as fractured as I am, a broken little bird,
and yet she wants to fix me.
Me.
A man one breath away from breaking beyond repair.
Can we find our way? Even as my sister’s case finally finds closure? Will it be
enough for both of us to find our way out of the darkness? Because the darkness
is all I know, it’s where I live.
My name is Silas Creed.
I am The Silencer.

~ Five brothers, one family tragedy,
untold heartache. ~

I am the missing
piece.

The little girl lost.

The heartache that has haunted my family for over a decade—their greatest joy
and their greatest pain.

Over the last ten years, I’ve lived in the memories of those I love the most,
trapped in their tears, weaved into the fabric of their lives, whispering the
truth to their souls.

But it’s time for me to tell my story.

It’s finally my time.

My name is Claire Creed.

I am The Dove.***READER NOTE***

***This is the sixth
and final book of this 6-part emotional family saga series. You have followed
the Creed family and gotten each brother’s love story. You also finally know
what happened to Claire—it’s time to hear it in her own words.

***Due to violence,
graphic content, and potential triggers, this book is not intended for readers
under the age of 18. Please read with care.

***Also, please take
note that The Dove is NOT a standalone novella. It is NOT a romance and it does
NOT have a traditional happy ever after ending.
I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH.

It also contains HUGE spoilers for anyone who has not already read the series.
So, if you haven’t read the first five books . . .

STOP!

Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Go do that first. I’ll wait for you
here.

I promise it’s worth it.

Here they are in order:

The Executioner (Asher Creed)

The Rainmaker (Levi Creed)

The Gunman (Jamison Creed)

The Prodigal (Joshua Creed)

The Silencer (Silas Creed)

If you have read all of these, well, then you’re ready for Claire’s story.

Buckle your seatbelts, kids. It’s about to get emotional.

PI Red Farlow goes on the hunt to find $300 million a Florida insurance executive bilks out of family and friends.
 
The exec, Woody Cunningham, stashes the cash in money havens around the world. Then he disappears. Where is Woody? Dead, done in by one of his enemies? Or did he skip town with his girlfriend to live off the ill-gotten wealth? If that’s the case, where is he?
 
Seeking answers, Farlow works with Miami legal experts who specialize in recovering cash from hidden offshore accounts. He also confronts a tough guy from his past who wants to settle a score and has links to the missing man. Cursed, shot at, and knocked out, Farlow delivers surefire punches of his own. Along the way, another executive turns up missing, and someone murders Woody’s brother-in-law.
 
Rich and Gone takes Farlow to Europe, across Georgia and north Florida, and points beyond to find the money and the man.
 
Finally, on a tip from a raven-haired Latina beauty, Red takes off on another international flight to determine if Woody Cunningham, rich and gone, is dead or alive.

 

“Chadwick Woodrow Cunningham once gave me a fine cigar. Like the man, the smoke looked classy, robust, and expensive, but it left a foul aftertaste I couldn’t shake.”
