Being CEO of flourishing JK Holdings isn’t a sufficient challenge for millionaire restaurateur Justin King. He craves the rush gained by facing danger and triumphing—be it heli-skiing, rappelling, suit jumping from the peaks of Mt. Everest or racing performance cars. But nothing does it for him like breaking into impenetrable fortresses and rifling their vaults for Guardian Security. It’s the … best-kept secret of his very public life.
Danielle Grant has built a life separate from the power and influence of her father, the owner of Phoenix Armament. As Acquisitions Manager of JK Holdings, she’s made herself indispensable to Justin King on a professional level, his steady constant as she watches the gorgeous women in his private life come and go. Never once did she allow herself to dream the romantic attentions of her boss would turn her way—until fate perched them side-by-side at the precipice of a deadly drop.
Just as Justin and Dani realize what they could be to each other, a malevolent force rips them apart, and Dani vanishes without a trace. Finding her and getting her back will require Justin do the one thing he has avoided all his life—ask for the help of his family.

There really aren’t enough good things to say about this book, this series and mostly this family.
The family that works together, stays together. Justin is the last King brother to get his story and the author delivered above and beyond expectations.
The storyline…just enough action and adventure to make it a page turner.
The characters…flawed, interesting and believable.
Emotional and just the right amount of ‘sexy time’. Nothing about the story felt forced and I especially loved how the MCs behaved like real adults, no over the top angst necessary!
I can’t recommend this series strongly enough, each and every installment delivers exactly what the reader is hoping for when their passion is romantic suspense. This family isn’t just about blood, but bond and I love getting to revisit with all the characters in each release. I hope Kris Michaels never stops writing about the Kings of Guardian.
Kris Michaels has another winner on her hands with Justin. While there is fast paced action it is not limited to military style assault. Justin has appeared in every book in the series but only on the periphery. We know he is a world class restaurateur but not much else. The man has mad skills and also some incredible hobbies…..who knew? Not his family. Dani Grant is whip smart, talented and indispensable to Justin’s businesses. Each of them has feelings for the other but has never acted on them. Once the floodgate is open there’s not stopping them as they explore their mutual desires. Alpha team is resurrected for a one-time op and it’s all hands on deck. Family trumps all and the Kings take care of their own.
I can’t ever get enough of the Kings of Guardian. I’ve read them all and just love the background story and how it has affected the individual members of this talented family.
What once was closed by tragedy is finally open to finding that special someone.
Losing your heart to someone is not a sign of weakness it’s a sign of a survivor, in this story Justin realises his attempts to protect himself by living on the fringes of his family is less than healthy. The woman who shows him the error of his ways is formidable in her own way because she sees behind the mask he wears to slowly reveal himself and he is as physically spectacular as he is clever.
I highly recommend this series and will be patiently waiting on the next in series
Every time I read the next book in the Kings of Guardian series I fall even harder for this family. Justin is the story that I have been waiting for, I knew there was more to this man than meets the eye. His and Dani’s story is full of sexual tension, angst, chaos and lets not forget all that King family ribbing and joking. Justin’s story will take us on an emotional journey to show us how his father’s murder affected him differently to the rest of his siblings. It will show us that this man has kept his true self hidden from all those important to him and when the one constant in his life, sees the real him and loves him even harder, he might have just found the missing piece of his soul he has been searching for. The 10th book in this series is the most soul-stirring of them all. Their story is action packed, heart-warming and will keep you captivated and hooked to the very last page. Justin’s story will show us that you can never push this family away and they will always have your six.
Wow! Another hit from Kris Michaels. it has everything mystery, action and romance. It is a great story of friends, co-workers growing into a lasting relationship and the reconnect of 2 families into one family.
Wow oh wow can Kris Michaels deliver. “Justin” the 10th book in the Kings of Guardian series is hot, steamy, funny and has the suspense we all love.

The last King has fallen! In this story we finally get to see just how different (yet, the same) Justin is compared to his brothers. I love how Kris Michaels lets us into Justin’s very specialized world (both his day job and his night job) and gives us fantastically detailed descriptions of all aspects of his very complicated life. From sommelier to “information extraction specialist” to adrenaline junkie, we are sucked in to one heck of an engrossing read. I think Deadpool said it best, “Your crazy matches my crazy. Big time.” and it perfectly sums up Dani and Justin’s relationship.
Every King and former King is in this book and a surprise reunion just reminds us why we love this author so much and eagerly await each new release (OK, let call it like it is – we stalk her, to glean any information we can on her next book because we can’t wait). As with the previous books, an amazing epilogue beautifully concludes this story and sets up the next – AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING THROUGH NINE STORIES FOR THIS CHARACTER/CHARACTERS TO GET HIS/THEIR BOOK/BOOKS!
“Being lost doesn’t have a common face. It doesn’t look same on one person as it does another. I was lost. Until I took the chance on Danielle.”
I was so intrigued to know Justin’s story and Kris didn’t disappoint.
Loved it so much. This series is one of my favorite ever and wish it would never end.
Gah can Kris Michaels write a suspense romance.
Justin and Danielle were perfect together. And Danielle was a bad@ss.
Love that the mission brought back the whole family together. That was awesome.
And that epilogue..
Can’t freaking wait!!
stars!!
I have read all of Kris Michael’s books. This series is the best and every one is better than the last even though you don’t think it could be possible. Justin and Danielle are incredible and I love having previous characters in every book! Love love love!
You know when you eagerly & impatiently wait for something you are sometimes disappointed because it doesn’t meet your expectations!! Well, let me just say that I expected a whole lot out of this book by Kris Michaels and it totally blew every one of my expectations out of the water. It was phenomenal!! Justin & Dani are awesome together, and I like the relationship Dani has with his assistant Max. The way they come together and the relationship between Justin and his siblings and why it’s the way it is. It all explains so much from the series. There were some twists with when siblings showed up that I didn’t expect, but I’m glad it happened. It’s probably my favorite now, closely followed by Jason & Joseph.
I loved both Justin and Danielle and thoroughly enjoyed their story.
Justin worked for Guardian, but not all of the Kings were aware of this secret. He had a special skill set that was only used a few times a year. Beyond that, Justin was a successful businessman and owner of a number of extremely successful and topnotch restaurants. He was never serious about women, although he had always felt a connection with Danielle, his Acquisitions Manager.
Danielle was a bright and strong woman. She worked closely with Justin and struggled to fight her attraction to him on a daily basis. She never believed he felt the same towards her and was surprised when they discovered the feelings they shared.
I loved how comfortable Justin and Dani were together. They had so much in common and were perfect for each other. They didn’t play any games and were committed to giving the relationship a shot. I enjoyed the action that happened in this book, and as always, I was glad that so many of the family made appearances.
Drake’s book is next and I’m nervous to see how well he and his twin Dixon will do working separately.
