Betrayal, Courage, Forgiveness and Redemption
The final novel in the Grey Justice series tells of Grey and Irelyn’s relationship from the very beginning and takes us to their very Happily Ever After. These two so belong together. This is a story of betrayal, courage, forgiveness, and redemption. Grey and Irelyn have a very complicated relationship. Their relationship started off in deception and death and had formed into an unlikely partnership. Their past always hung over them. They reached a point in their relationship where their connection was damaged and they no longer trusted each other. After a few years of separation, Grey and Irelyn work through their issues and get their connection back and they’re as strong as ever. They got to the point where it was time to put the past in the past. The previous books in the series gave indicators that something major had happened to them when they were younger which brought them together and was perhaps the cause of their somewhat love/hate relationship. I had no clue of what to expect and their story is heartbreaking as well as captivating. All of the previous characters from the series are here and working together. While this is the last book in the series, it was written so that I was left completely satisfied and so happy to know their story. As I have come to expect from Christy Reece, A Matter of Justice is a well written, fast paced, page turning romantic suspense novel. Wonderful male and female characters that are strong individuals with flaws and who overcome a horrible past. I recommend reading this series in order as I think you would appreciate their relationship more. A favorite read of mine.
Grey Justice and Irelyn Raine, they’re very interesting characters. For one thing, I can say is that these two are so unique in every way possible. In some strange way, they come together in such a strange way. This book gives you to tell you. Her characters have always been well written, for you to see both sides the physically and a chance to see how Grey Justice and Irelyn Raine, became who they are today and how they came to be these very strong people together. Irelyn Raine is a woman who becomes a killing machine with no turning back. I am trying really hard not to give so much of the story away without any spoiler.
The one thing that I can tell you is that Christy Reece, she never rushes the story that she wanted the mentally, and just how they are able to overcome, what we think must be hard to do. This is a series that I can only say that with every page that you turn you won’t be disappointed. What I enjoy about Christy books is that she has a way of revisiting past characters from the future. So, if you are looking for a book that has a lot of suspense and intrigue and romance and most of all a mystery that will keep you wanting so much more…
5 Stars!! Grey and Irelyn finally got their book and it was worth the wait!! Finally found out how they met and what happened to Grey’s parents!! Hope this is not the last book in the series!!
Christy is a master with her words and as a reader you are doing yourself an injustice if you have never read one of her books.
This was another AMAZING book by Christy Reece. This is not just a happy go lucky in love story. The characters have to fight for what they want. Irelyn and Justice are the people they are today because of their past. A past that is coming back to haunt them. Each are determine to get rid of the past in their own way. The depth of the love the two have for each other is evident thru out the book. Christy makes it easy for reader to get caught up in the story and feel all the emotions.
Over the course of the Grey Justice series, the intensity and mystery of the bond between Grey Justice and Irelyn Raine saturated the stories. It was clear the two had a long history together; hints of great emotion, deep pain and stormy passion were threaded throughout the pages. But nothing in those earlier books could have prepared for the journey through the past that illustrates how Grey and Irelyn came to be. It is an astonishing brutal yet amazingly uplifting story of survival, forgiveness and justice.
Grey Justice has spent his lifetime seeking justice; his wealth, prestige and connections are just a means to achieve that end. Throughout, Irelyn Raine was part of his life yet not – seemingly lovers, but at times distant from one another. Living together, yet in separate rooms. As Grey’s bonds grew with the addition of friends and colleagues in the Grey Justice Group, he connection to Irelyn seemed to fray. She would leave him for a time, yet return. But in this book, she is leaving for good, saying goodbye to the life she has with Grey, and to Grey himself. Irelyn has a mission to complete, and nothing will stop her…
This series was building up to this crescendo, with all focus on Grey and Irelyn. And nothing in the earlier books could have prepared the reader for their story. Nothing. Every adjective I can think of to describe Grey and Irelyn’s past just does not do it justice. The bond these two have and how it was developed has been brilliantly mapped out by Ms. Reece within a plot so engrossing, so suspenseful you cannot help but the turn pages until you reach the end. As Irelyn puts her plan, her mission, into play it is clear that Irelyn is Grey’s mission. I was riveted to the very end to see if they both could achieve their goals. This book was at times achingly poignant, with surprisingly lighter moments occurring at times you wouldn’t expect (no spoilers, but Grey’s question to Irelyn in middle of a gun fight? Priceless.) For me, this book is the perfect ending to the series. And that Epilogue? Just beautiful……*sigh*
This book is to supposed to be Grey & Irelyn’s story. I feel that a ether way to describe it is the climax of their story. Each book in the series has been dropping hints & leading up to this book. Grey & Irelyn have been dancing around each other for a large portion of their lives. She doesn’t think she’s worthy of him while he loves her no matter what.
Ms. Reece gives us characters that are tough, gritty & realistic. She doesn’t pretty them up or attempt to hide their flaws & that’s what makes her books so great. Her plot seems to always move at the perfect pace, never to fast or to slow. The tempo seems to build throughout the book until the final secret is revealed. I know that I’m not able to fully express my thoughts but I feel she is one of the best in romantic suspense.
“They might have started in darkness, might have spent years fighting their way free of the pain, but she had brought light to his life, warmth to his soul. He could not imagine his life without her. If she said yes, he would spend the rest of his life making sure she knew that.”
Oh, how I love this series! All through the other books, you know there is a strong connection between Grey and Irelyn. You were given the hard-edged side of both of them, with a smattering of the indication of love. Finally! Finally!! We get to see their story. We become privy to the hearts of this couple, and how truly deep their connection is.
Irelyn Raine disappeared after the last assignment Grey gave her. She understood it. The man had to die. But, what she learned that night has turned her world upside down. Now, with her plan in motion, it’s time to sever all ties with her present so she can destroy her past, and maybe, just maybe, have a future. Saying goodbye to Grey will be the hardest thing she has to do. He’s her everything. But in order to protect him, and destroy the one thing that made her into what she is, she must. She’s not sure she’ll make it out of this alive, and even if she does, her heart may be shattered forever without him.
Grey Justice just watched her walk away from him. She’s leaving and he didn’t even fight for her. For them. The more he thinks about that day, the more convinced he is that she is up to something. Something that could get her killed. THAT, he won’t ever let happen. He’ll find her. Convince her to let him help her. After that, he’s never letting her go. But, before that can happen, he has to know where she is, and what kind of trouble she’s in. And knowing her, that’s no easy task. She’s ghosted him.
With both of them in the cross-hairs of every assassin, can they finally rid themselves of the darkness that has followed them all their lives? Will it cost them everything?
I have always loved Grey. He’s a lovable character, but to see how deeply he loves Irelyn, and the chemistry between them, I was swooning double-time. It was so great to see a glimpse of normalcy in their relationship – the honesty, the joking, and, oh yeah, those steamy times.
I can’t wait to see what’s next!!
The story we’ve all been waiting for!
I devour everything Christy Reece writes. My Kindle library has over a dozen of her books on it.
When I received my ARC of AMOJ, to say I was thrilled was an understatement!
I took my time reading it, savoring the story, hoping to make it last.
Irelyn has always been a mystery to me. What makes her tic? Why is Grey so devoted to her? Does she deserve his devotion?
Is she good, bad…or just complicated?
Grey is just…Grey
He’s honorable, loyal, and as always amazing!
We discover in AMOJ how the two meet, and the challenges they have faced together and apart, that have formed their, seemingly, unbreakable bond.
As more of their history is revealed, I began to really worry…
Will Irelyn and Grey finally have their HEA?
Will they be able to overcome their very complex past and have a future together?
Gosh, I hope so!
I’m having a hard time not including spoilers in my review, but I will say
secrets are revealed, and questions are answered, and the bad guy gets what he deserves!
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys exceptional writing, romance, swoon worthy heroes, and women. who…are complicated.
