Book Review: Justice

• Book Blurb

  Justice North is the face of New Species. Seeing him up close makes Jessie’s heart race. He’s the ultimate alpha male-big, muscular, exotically beautiful…and dangerous. Of course he’s off limits. But then the sexy man purrs and all bets are off.

  Jessie Dupree is a mouthy, fiery human female who brings out the animal in Justice. She wants to show him how to relax, and he’s all for anything she wants to do, but Justice has sworn to protect his people and to take a Species mate. He’s torn between the woman he wants and the oath he’s taken.

  Jessie knows a relationship between them probably won’t end well; heartbreak is inevitable. But that won’t stop her from freeing the wildness inside Justice and spending every moment she can steal wrapped around his hot body, making him roar with passion.

  Reader Advisory: Each New Species book may be read as a standalone, but we suggest reading them in order to get the most enjoyment from the series.

• My review

  Overall Rating
  Justice is the fourth book in the New Species series—another five-star read for me (notice a pattern here? The first four books have all been five stars!).

  Can You Start Here?
  Technically, yes—you could jump in at Justice and understand the basic story. But you’d miss so much of the world-building and character depth. I highly recommend starting with Fury, or at least Slade. You might even skip Valiant if you’re in a rush, but definitely don’t begin with Justice. This book is full of callbacks to other couples’ journeys and key events.

  Plot vs. Romance
  This book blends new twists in the New Species vs. Mercile conflict—about 40% plot and 60% romance. Of course, the two intertwine: as the blurb says, “He’s torn between the woman he wants and the oath he’s taken.”

  I don’t want to spoil the plot by explaining what Jessie (the female main character) does for a living, but it is related to the plot development: new details about Mercile are shared. Here we move away from the “damsel in distress” vibe of earlier books and meet our first truly badass female lead! Don’t worry, there’s still plenty of danger and action.

  Jessie & Justice: Relationship Dynamics
  I really enjoyed how Jessie and Justice’s relationship developed. One thing I appreciate about this series is that the author doesn’t just recycle the same plot with new hero(-ine)s—each couple gets their own unique journey. Their progression is quick but believable, the “hot” scenes are on point, and there’s a genuine give-and-take in their support for one another: she stands by him as leader of the New Species Organization, and he champions her career ambitions.

  • Jessie: badass, tough, intelligent (yay), strong, selfless

  • Justice: hot alpha-leader vibes, with a surprisingly sweet, vulnerable side

  Final Thoughts
  If you love action-packed paranormal romances with strong, unique couples and plenty of heat, Justice will not disappoint.
