I would kill for her. Harper The night Arsen killed my father was the first time I realized the lengths he’d go to keep me safe. He might have done it to protect me, but he was still convicted and locked away for seven years. And for that entire time I waited for him, knowing that once he was released, things needed to be said, the truth needed to be spoken. And that day was today. I loved him, … today. I loved him, but the look he gave me, the possessiveness and pent-up arousal reflected in his eyes … had me realizing one thing. Now more than ever, he wouldn’t let me go.
Arsen
I went to prison for Harper, and I’d do it all over again to make sure she was safe. She was all I thought about the entire time I was behind bars, and it was her weekly visits that got me through the years, even if I tried pushing her away. But after seven years of being locked up, I was finally released … and I was going to make her mine.
Warning: This is a short, dirty story about a hero who will go to any lengths to make sure the woman he loves is safe. With darker undertones and graphic scenes, there may be material some readers find offensive.
Reader note: All of the books in the “Cards of Love” series are standalone. They are not connected in any way. The only thing they all have in common is a tarot card theme. That means you can read and enjoy any of them in any order! 🙂

Great read if….you like quick reads, best friends to lovers, and an HEA.
Side Note: This book was different than what I usually read from Jenika. I like how it opened. I loved how it progressed. I love their bond and connection. I also love when that endured together and how even prison couldn’t break them. She touched on the changes the system takes a person through as well as the consequences/hardships it is for a felon/ex con when they try to go into the world and get a job. As far as sex, it was steamy and filled with the expected and adored “mine”, but it was dragged out just a little too much for me. I would’ve loved to have seen their first time and maybe like the morning after for another round. Regardless it was an enjoyable read.
I so loved Arsen and Harper’s story! Jenika Snow always knows how to tug her reader’s heartstrings, and Judgment was no exception. The only thing I can say is, this one was definitely worth five stars!
This was a short but very hot read by Jenika Snow. I loved Arsen and Harper’s story but I wish it would have been a little bit longer. The emotions are there and the reader can feel them as they read. Loved it!
Harper and Arsen were incredible characters and pulled me right into the story. Their love for one another through everything was great to watch develop. The passionate scenes were the proper blend of hot and dirty. The way the book ended was very sweet.
Harper never had anyone aside from Arsen to protect her and he killed her father to do so, the man who should’ve kept her safe above all others. But he didn’t and now he can never hurt Harper again. While that gives her a peace she will never take for granted, Arsen, her best friend, went to jail for seven years to give it to her. Harper knew the day Arsen was released things would need to be said, not the least of which was thank you, but feelings would be confessed and the look she receives is one of possession.
Arsen doesn’t regret going to prison to keep Harper safe, only the seven years he lost with her. He tried pushing her away, his best friend he’d do anything to protect, but the feelings she brought out in him were growing, no longer deniable and when he’s released, he’ll take the steps to make her his.
Now, with Arsen free once again and Harper safe, these two can finally act on their love for one another, they just have to confess it first.
One-click now and follow along as one man proves he’ll do anything to keep the love of his life, even if she doesn’t know yet that she holds that title, safe. I liked seeing these two admit how they feel for one another, knowing the lengths Arsen willingly went to in order to keep her safe from the biggest threat to her. And their reunion, with nothing between them – no bars, no guards, and no abusive father – was a beautiful thing to witness.- By Elizabeth
Harper’s had a good life until her mom couldn’t take her dad’s drinking anymore and left them both. Unfortunately, her dad blamed her for her mom leaving, for him losing his job, for his drinking, and for having to spend his unemployment money on her. Harper took the brunt of it all, sometimes violently. Arsen loved his mom. It was just the two of them in the run down trailer. He was also Harper’s best friend and protector all through school and as they grew up. There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for Harper. Nothing in the world. Jenika Snow has woven a story with characters that were so relatable, it was almost heart breaking in it’s telling. Knowing the circumstances could happen made it all the more compelling and she spelled things out. This couple go through trials and adversity only to come out the other side showing all of us what the words loyalty, love, devotion and determination mean. What a wonderful book. Congratulations Ms. Snow.
