The only person who knows who killed Marshal Jack Slater’s father is Caroline Moser. But the Texas profiler has no memory of the murder, her abduction…or Jack.

MY THOUGHTS:

a
Title:   His Brand of Justice
Author:  Delores Fossen
Series:  Longview Ridge Ranch #4
Publisher:  Harlequin Intrigue
Genre:   Romantic Suspense
Format:  Kindle
No. of Pages:   256
Date of Publication:   August 25, 2020
My Rating:   4 Stars

Caroline Moser is in protective custody. She had been abducted and witnessed a murder. Suffering from memory loss, she is being protected by the US Marshals. Jack Slater is more than a Marshal when it comes to Caroline. The murder she witnessed was that of his father. What is more is that the pair share a steamy past.

WITSEC is no fun, especially when one is plagued by memory loss. Factor in the danger nipping at her heels, Caroline is more than stressed. With Jack asking question after question, Caroline's apprehension rises. But then her memory comes back. Apprehension gives rise to fear, increasing the panic attacks she is unable to control.

With romance being part of each story, the danger facing the protagonists is blended with romance. The conflicts that Caroline and Jack face seem insurmountable and it was wonderful how things unfolded between them. His Brand of Justice is the perfect ending to a thrilling series. I loved the first three books and really enjoyed how the tension never let up, from story to story in this series, and in this concluding book. 

Many thanks to Harlequin Intrigue and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.




Please enjoy the following excerpt:

Excerpt, HIS BRAND OF JUSTICE by Delores Fossen

***

“I nearly got Lucille and you killed,” she said, and Caroline cursed her own voice. It was shaking, too.

Jack lifted an eyebrow. “Funny, I thought it was the shooter who nearly killed us.”

“The shooter wouldn’t have been firing those bullets if it hadn’t been for me.” She expected him to give her some sugarcoated answer, but she’d obviously forgotten this was Jack.

“That’s true.” With that hanging in the air, he waited a heartbeat. “And since I’d rather not have any more attempted murders, that means you’re going to have to let me help you.”

“You mean I’m going to have to trust Kellan,” Caroline blurted out. She was feeling a lot less shaky now.

Jack shrugged, took his hand from his pocket so he could tap the badge on his belt. “Every lawman in Texas isn’t tainted, and if you dig beneath all the anger, fear and whatever else it is you’re feeling, you’ll remember that I’m the best shot you’ve got at keeping us both alive.”

He followed that too logical minilecture with a long stare. Jack was obviously waiting for her to come to the only conclusion that she had right now.

“I’m not going to trust your brother,” she insisted, but left the rest of it unspoken—that she would trust Jack. Again, it was the only choice she had.

He nodded as if they’d just hashed that out with a heated argument. “I’ll do whatever it takes to keep you safe.” He paused. “Want me to take a bullet for you to prove it?”

Jack didn’t wink, but he might as well have, because he was obviously trying to lighten things up. Trying to bring her back down and ease some of the still raw adrenaline. It was working, sort of, since it was something he’d said to her in jest when they’d been lovers. A way of letting her know that he cared that much for her.

“No,” she said, drawing out the one-word answer to emphasize it. There was a lot more emotion in her voice than she wanted as she stared at him.

Thinking.

Remembering.

Yes, definitely remembering.

That helped more than his lame attempt at cop humor. His being there helped, too, and despite everything she’d been through—or maybe because of it—Caroline wanted to step right into his arms. Those strong arms with their toned muscles. She wanted to feel the heat, and the comfort that she’d gotten there before. Jack had tugged and pulled at her in a way that no man ever had before.

Or ever would again, she was forced to admit to herself.
