Fatal Judgement by Irene Hannon
Guardians of Justice (Book #1)
Revell, 01 January 2011
U.S. Marshal Jake Taylor has seen plenty of action during his years in law enforcement. But he’d rather go back to Iraq than face his next assignment: protection detail for federal judge Liz Michaels. His feelings toward Liz haven’t warmed in the five years since she lost her husband–and Jake’s best friend–to possible suicide. How can Jake be expected to care for the coldhearted workaholic who drove his friend to despair?
As the danger mounts and Jake gets to know Liz better, his feelings slowly start to change. When it becomes clear that an unknown enemy may want her dead, the stakes are raised. Because now both her life–and his heart–are in mortal danger. Full of the suspense and romance Irene Hannon’s fans have come to love, Fatal Judgment is a thrilling story that will keep readers turning the pages late into the night.
My abbreviated thoughts:
- Protective guy
- Strong woman
- Misconstrued ideas
- Past’s linked
- Romance, intrigue and some action
A great, quick read that fits my bill for drama, action and romance!
