Book Description

September 6, 2011 Last Chance Rescue Novels
Honor Stone is a young, idealistic FBI agent when her path collides with Seth Cavanaugh. For a girl who has never walked on the wild side, the dark and dangerous Seth is a temptation she can’t refuse. But then Seth walks out the door and out of her life. Five years later, Honor is an operative with the elite Last Chance Rescue organization and Seth is a desperate ex-cop searching for his missing niece—one of many young women who have mysteriously vanished from college campuses. Going undercover, Honor will attract the maniacal cult leader behind the kidnappings and find a way to work with Seth—while steering clear of the passion and need that’s just one touch away from explosion. Seth knows he had all the right reasons for the wrong he did five years ago. And from the moment he sees her—and takes her in his arms again—this former undercover man will risk everything for one more chance with Honor.

Review

"Bestseller Reece kicks off a romantic suspense trilogy with this gripping read. Reece nicely balances steamy encounters with the slow unraveling of clues that lead to a chilling pattern of missing girls. A truly frightening, twisted villain and an action-packed finale make this one a page-turner."  Publishers Weekly


Sweet Justice is riveting romantic suspense. Christy Reece writes compelling characters and exciting plotlines, with action and romance woven expertly within the pages. Christy Reece’s books make me a very happy reader!”—Maya Banks, New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Away

More About the Author

Growing up in a tiny community in Alabama boasting only one stop sign and a gas station gave Christy ample opportunity to create daring adventures in her head. When she wasn't thinking of her story characters, Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys kept her entertained and out of trouble. Later came the chills of Stephen King and the thrills of John Grisham, but the romance genre always held a strong place in her heart.

Christy's award winning Last Chance Rescue series features strong alpha males, smart, courageous women, plenty of steam and sizzle, action adventure, and always a happy ending. Christy is currently writing a new Last Chance Rescue novel, CHANCES ARE, that she plans to self publish and release in 2013.

A member of Romance Writers of America and International Thriller Writers, Christy lives in Alabama with her husband, four incredibly cute canines and one very shy turtle.

Christy also writes steamy southern suspense as Ella Grace. The first book in Ella's Midnight series, MIDNIGHT SECRETS, is scheduled for release April 30, 2013.

5.0 out of 5 stars So emotional and sexy! September 6, 2011
Format:Mass Market Paperback
My Review:
It's no secret to anyone that's talked books with me for any length of time that one of my favorite genre's is romantic suspense. Within that genre, there are several really amazing authors, but I don't think that there is anyone that consistently delivers emotion, suspense, and fantastic reading than Christy Reece. This book was no disappointment. It was amazing!

Honor is an FBI agent who has made an appearance in several Last Chance Rescue (LCR) novels. Five years ago, she was a rookie FBI agent when she met Seth. At the time, Seth was a restaurant owner who had quit his career as a police officer and was maintaining several questionable acquaintances within his restaurant business. This book opens with him being charged and arrested for murder.

What's never up for debate, as a reader, is how much Seth loves Honor. Quickly within the story, he breaks up with Honor, but he is doing that to protect her, because he is actually deep undercover in a case that is going to take years to resolve. His mistake was ever allowing himself to get involved with Honor, when he knew that he would never be able to pursue a true relationship.

Now it's 5 years later. Seth's case is finally complete (it took much longer than anyone ever expected) and now he is at loose ends after alienating everyone in his life throughout his undercover existence. But his 20 yo niece has disappeared and his family comes to him for help which leads him to LCR where Honor is now an operative, unbeknownst to him. As the lead operative on this case, Honor soon finds herself working very closely with Seth.

Honor is surprised, but not shocked, to find out that Seth was actually undercover all those years. She is even really empathetic to all that he gave up for that mission. What she can't forgive is that Seth knew what was happening in his life, but he allowed Honor to fall for him anyway...KNOWING that ultimately, they could not have a relationship and that he would break her heart. She can't forgive or forget that.

This is truly a heartbreaking story in that there is no right or wrong. Maybe Seth should never have given into his attraction to Honor, but then this love story would NEVER have happened. What is that saying, "It's better to have loved and to have lost, then to have never loved at all." He was in a no-win, ultimate sacrifice situation. He couldn't and didn't resist the allure of simply getting to know Honor although he knew that it could never end well. They both suffered immensely for that.

It is such a good book, and I will be honest...I bawled hard enough through sections of the story that it gave me a headache for the rest of the day. But there is something about a book that moves you to that extreme...So emotional and so moving.

The other thing that Christy does amazingly is create truly evil bad guys and I can't imagine that she will ever top this "bad guy"...OMG! Truly evil and horrific, especially considering how long he has gotten away with this behavior.

Another fantastic book from Christy Reece. Bravo, Christy!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the buy! September 20, 2011
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Christy Reece's writing and storytelling has always had high marks but this latest book in her LCR series draws you in even more and just gets better. I thought no one could beat Rosemont(Run To Me)as a villian but I was wrong. This one gives me pause. The romance between Seth and Honor is everything I wanted it to be. Honor was more then I expected with great laugh out loud moments. And well Seth, he is the ultimate hot alpha hero.
Sweet Justice was everything I hoped and wanted it to be in a romantic suspense. Oh, and be warned the book provokes reader participation. Unfortunatly for us readers, we can't jump into the book to help our characters out.

Looking forward to her next books Dylan and Jamie in "Sweet Revenge"(Oct)and Jared and Mia in "Sweet Reward" (Dec). It looks as though they will just keep getting better and better.

By M. Nix

Former FBI agent Honor Stone is now an operative of the Last Chance Rescue team. She has a passion for finding the missing and is eager to join a team where she has a better chance of finding people alive. Honor never counted on coming face-to-face with the man that broke her heart again.

Seth Cavanaugh chased everyone he cares about out of his life so he could go undercover to bring down a despicable criminal. Now the criminal is out of business but Seth is having trouble convincing his loved ones to bring him back into the fold. When his niece goes missing Seth uncovers a rash of mysterious disappearances. He takes the case to the Last Chance Rescue Team and is teamed up with the one woman who could be his undoing. Seth's major regret is the loss of his relationship with Honor.

Honor and Seth make a great investigative team. As they hunt for the trail of the person kidnapping young woman they get closer to the culprit and each other. Can Honor and Seth find their way back to each other or will their case turn deadly leaving one of them alone forever?

Sweet Justice is an exciting and passionate novel. Honor and Seth share a fiery chemistry. I really enjoyed their relationship and their history but the star of Sweet Justice is the dark and intense plot. Sweet Justice is filled with extremely brave women, honorable men and a terribly disturbing villain that will haunt you.
