Just a fun action packed romance. It still follows Irene Hannon's standard plot, but there were slight variations from her norm. I still liked it.

Kelly Warren knows that her father's death wasn't a suicide, but she can't get anyone to listen. Detective Cole Warren isn't sure he wants to believe her until she ends up in the ER and he begins to realize that things aren't always coincidental. Together they embark on a quest to clear her father's name and bring his killer to justice. Along the way, they discover that life is better when they're a team, but someone is determined to keep them apart and end Kelly's life.

To say I enjoy Irene Hannon's stories is a serious understatement. I have yet to read one that wasn't fantastic. She has a remarkable way with characterization and her stories are always thrilling adventures full of that perfect mix of suspense and romance.

Third in the Guardians of Justice series, Irene Hannon doesn't disappoint. The story stands alone, but as always, it's a much richer story if the books are read in order.

Available August 2012 at your favorite bookseller from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.

Good suspense. I liked the first and third book, but I didn’t enjoy the one before this one as much. While the story is rather far-fetched, it was great suspense and I really like the characters.

The start of the series came with Jake and Liz. Then came Alison and Mitch. Lastly, the end here has Cole and Kelly.

FINALLY I'm done! Took me a bit longer than planned but I'm just happy to be done with it. Not that I wasn't liking it, at some point the Libby kindle library book had to be returned since someone had put a hold on the book and so I had to wait a bit longer to pick it back up and all, but when I did get it back, I tried to get through it fast as I could; and then my mood reader side kicked in and got distracted by other books hahaha. But I'm just glad I'm done.


Anyway, I'm honestly a little bit sad to leave the Taylor siblings and one I'll definitely remember since the first book of this trilogy [b:Fatal Judgment|8125734|Fatal Judgment (Guardians of Justice, #1)|Irene Hannon|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1441053397l/8125734._SY75_.jpg|12921400] with Jake Taylor's story was the very first book for me to decided and try out a new genre I never thought I'd find myself finding to read and surprisingly enjoying: Christian Romance. It was actually a nice refresher from other stuff I read, but I'll always remember how lucky I felt when picking up a good first book to try a "new" genre and to get out of my comfort zone and boy am I glad because this trilogy was well written, but if I had to choose my favorite Taylor story, I liked Allison's more (plus Mitch Morgan was freaking adorable ;) and a former Navy SEAL now detective? What more could you get?)


Though I did love Jake Taylor, this third book I absolutely loved Cole even more since he was pretty much the first character we may as well have met in Jake's story at the very beginning, and then throughout Allison's book Cole just kept getting more and more adorable and by the time his story fell around and I learned about his past, my heart broke like crazy and totally felt for him. And his meeting Kelly Warren was the best thing for Cole Taylor. So I'm glad he met her because they both truly do compliment one another. I don't know much of what to say anymore except now I'm having a typical "now what" moment after this trilogy is over and I was so invested in the Taylor siblings' stories. Though I wished we saw weddings for Allison/Mitch and Cole/Kelly, but the ending was satisfying enough for this trilogy.


If you're one who likes this kind of genre and need or looking for a good clean fun trilogy or book, read these books. I'd totally highly recommend them though these were on the little suspense side as well, but so good!

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed both the suspense angle and the romance. My full review will be on The Christian Manifesto.com. I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for my review.

Although her father's "suicide" case has been closed for several months, Kelly Warren still believes it was murder.

When another clue is discovered, she returns to the detective who managed the case, but he is on vacation. Fortunately for Kelly, Cole Taylor is working and agrees to hear her out. As he continues to look into a few things go for the attractive red-head, Cole realizes that that not only is Kelly persistent, she may very well be right.

Cole and Kelly continue to look for clues while the true killer begins to sweat. The two draw closer as friends, with the expectation for more, once the case is concluded.

I like that Hannon made the characters unwilling to mix business and pleasure. This allowed Cole and Kelly time to get to know one another before they became involved romantically.

I did figure out who the real killer was before it was revealed in the story, but there were definitely some curve balls that I didn't see coming in the clues. In the end, justice is meted out and those who have suffered are comforted.

A good read overall. It also reminded me to read more of this author's works.

Characters were endearing, but story was the exact same plot as the previous two books.
