About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

Okay, but didn't realise it was a story with religious overtones, which annoyed me with the storyline when problems were happening that trust in God and it will all be well. I accept that some people have beliefs and I respect them, but if I had realised this was an underlying message in this book, I would not have purchased it. Otherwise the story was interesting.

I love Irene Hannon's books so much! I have read this book multiple times, and each time I read it, I fell in love with it more! Irene does a great job of melding romance, suspense, and faith together. I love Liz and Jake's story. Their history adds great depth, and I love seeing their growth. I love how Irene used forgiveness in this book. It added a great element, and I love how it was resolved in the end. Content Warning: -Kidnapping -Murder -Loss of loved ones -Kisses only

From the first page to the last, this book was intensely captivating. I even found myself praying for the characters! I am so glad I read this. It is one of the best books I've ever read!
