FROM USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHORA BEAUTIFUL DECEPTIONUS Marshal Ellie Jameson has moved on since a one-night stand with hot law student Sam Creed, a night he’d made her believe was so much more. She hardly ever thinks of him. Really. When assigned to a new case, she’s blindsided and comes face to face with the man who broke her heart. Federal judge Sam Creed is being threatened by domestic … threatened by domestic terrorists, and guess who’s assigned to pose as his fiancée? Good thing thirteen years was long enough for him to forget she ever existed.
Nothing’s more important to Judge Creed than the rule of law. His focus is bringing an extremist militia group to justice. Having a marshal pose as his girlfriend was his idea, but when Eleanor Jameson moves in with him, he finds her damned distracting, and he’s having a hard time remembering their engagement isn’t real. As the stakes get higher, Sam finds that love has a way of changing life’s priorities.

I really enjoyed this story. It’s full of action and intrigue. It held my attention the whole way through. The characters felt real and believable.
I have never read a bad book written by Diane Benefiel. She has an enjoyable way with words and the reading is easy. I recommend the Jamesons, US Marshals series.
Sorry there isn’t a 3rd book!!!! More characters, so hoping!!!!
it was real
Hot book!
I enjoyed the story as well as the H/H. I have to admit, these two had kind of a weird chemistry. They both seemed a bit stiff but I was glad to see them loosen up by the end. The story had a timely feel to it with the antagonists similar to what we see in today’s news. I’m looking forward to the next book in this series.
The concept of this book was good, however there could have been more research on police procedure since the story resignation around US Marshall’s. There is romance, danger, and rekindling of old flames with HEA

This is the first book I’ve read by Diane Benefiel, and I very much enjoyed it. Ellie and Sam have a second chance at love. Ellie is a US Marshall and Sam is a federal judge. Thirteen years ago, they had a one night stand, which Ellie believed was so much more. They never saw each other after that night
Now, Sam has started receiving threats and Ellie has been assigned to pose as his fiancée to protect him.
While she is still attracted to him, he doesn’t remember her. This story was full of suspense and romance. I was hooked right from the start and could not put it down. I truly enjoyed this story and I highly recommend you give it a try.

Diane has given another good book. The story line was very intriguing and it was very engaging. US Marshal Ellie Jameson gets totally surprised when she is assigned to pose as Sam Creed’s fiancee. After the 13 years apart, he thought anything in their past was staying in the past, but I love how distracted Ellie makes her. His focus on his job gets deterred, and the suspense that you see when you read this book, had me eagerly awaiting what could come next.

The second book in The Jamesons US Marshals series a well written story that I was not putting down until I had finished it. Deputy US Marshal Eleanor Jameson and Federal judge Sam Creed’s story there is suspense, shooting, drama, danger, kidnapping, villains and one of them is a surprise to Ellie, and a fake engagement that becomes so much more. This story is well worth reading. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is the one-night stand that reappears years later. U.S. Marshall Ellie had a one-night stand years ago with Judge Sam and now that he is being threatened she is assigned to be his fake fiance. What could go wrong with this situation?
Great read, action packed with some twists and turns and family betrayals. The characters are well developed story line is smooth and flows well. This is the second book I have read by this author and I am looking forward to reading more. Ellie and her 2 brothers are all US Marshalls and on a team, when Ellie gets assigned to Sam Creed a federal judge to protect. Sam is arrogant, bossy and over protective and things get out of hand when he and Ellie get into an argument. Luckily for the judge Ellie is a forgiving woman and a HEA does happen for them.

Hidden Judgement is the second book in The Jamesons, US Marshalls series by Diane Benefiel, and while I didn’t mind the story, I once again found some aspects totally unbelievable. Yes, this is fiction, but when detailing events to do with law enforcement, some credibility is needed. That said, I finished the book, and will probably read the next in the series.

This is the 2nd book in The Jamesons US Marshals series and they just keep getting better.
Now we are seeing just how Elle and Sam’s emotional development happens.
All the Jamesons are Marshals and Elle is no different, except this time she is protecting
Sam (now Federal Judge) once a law student with whom she had a one night stand.
Wonderfully written with strong, intriguing characters.
The chemistry was palatable.

Hidden Judgement is my first book by Diane Benefiel. I was pleasantly surprised that it was so good! The characters and plot were very engaging. I finished the book in 2 reading sessions. I did not want to put it down. There is a lot of action, suspense, and romance. It has very minimal spicey romance.

This is the first book I’ve read by a Diane Benefiel, but it definitely won’t be my last. I loved Ellie and Sam’s story. If you enjoy a second chance romance with a side of suspense, then you will love Hidden Judgment. This book had me flipping the pages as fast as I could, to see what was going to happen next. Thirteen years ago, Sam and Ellie had a one night stand. Now she’s a U.S. Marshal and he’s a federal judge. When he starts receiving threats, Ellie is assigned to play his fiancée. She’s still attracted to him and he doesn’t remember her. No spoilers, so grab your copy and fall in love with the U.S. Marshals and the hottie judge.
