“Suspenseful and sexy!” – Amazon Reader ReviewRonan Murphy’s law is vengeance. Personal tragedy taught Ronan that he couldn’t count on the law. Now he and his brothers issue justice from behind the guise of a high-end security firm that steps in when the law has failed. A former Navy SEAL, Ronan lives by a set of ironclad rules: take care of business, look after his family and his dog, don’t get … after his family and his dog, don’t get close enough to hurt — until he runs into Julia Berenger in a back alley.
Julia Berenger will do anything to find her sister.
Two weeks after her sister Elise’s disappearance, Julia has only one lead — the wealthy, powerful man Elise was seeing before she went missing. But when Julia takes matters into her own hands, she comes face to face with a man casing the same subject, a man who informs her that he’s been hired to find and punish the people who took her sister.
As the pair find themselves inextricably tied to the same mystery, their bond deepens. Soon they’re breaking all the rules, tracing clues that lead from the wealthiest members of Boston society to the glitzy underbelly of Dubai as they search for Julia’s sister. But when a chance to save Elise endangers Julia’s life, Ronan is forced to accept that when it comes to love, pain is sometimes part of the bargain.

I liked the book a lot.
I loved the 1st 3
Julian Berenger is a network specialist who is seeking information on the disappearance of her sister Elise. She has taken it among herself to investigate it when the Boston detective stopped assisting her. Her initial clue was surveillance the house of the last person her sister was involved with.
Ronan Murphy is from the Boston Syndicate series and always been a mysterious and savvy person. He is an ex-military on covert operations and co-owner of Murphy Intelligence and Security company with his brothers. He enters a meeting with John Taylor regarding his missing granddaughter, Elise. The case is outside of their standard protocol but Ronan decided to scope out the area presented to him and meet Julia. Julia is a hard-headed, spitfire with a temper that constantly putting herself in danger with the powerful elites as she continues to interfering in the investigation.
The author written another outstanding story where it hypnotized her readers with amusing mazes and puzzling plots. A great start to an adventure and intense series as I begin the next book in this series “Murphy Wraith.”
****I voluntarily received an Advance Review Copy of this book in exchange for my honest review****
Exciting in an ‘I-fear-for-my-life’ kind of way. And terrified of what’s coming next.
Julia’s sister, Elise, has disappeared while she was seeing a very rich man who is surrounded by scandalous rumors. He’s possibly involved in drugs, probable high-end sex trafficking, & most positively extreme danger. Julia’s attempts to find her sister become increasingly more dangerous and could end with her in the same position as her sister.
There’s non-stop action and anxiety in trying to decipher clues to find and rescue Elise. Even with the help of hot & fiery Ronan Murphy and his specialist intel company’s help, it’s still a steep hill to climb.
Arghhh! I’m dying to uncover the next steps!!

Murphy’s Law by Michelle St. James
ARC received from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Opinions expressed are my own !
Loved the cover & was drawn to it as it is how I envisioned Ronan Murphy.
This book is not a standalone & there are a few books coming in the series.
I read this book in 24 hours – so much I loved about it :
Awesome main characters in Julia & Ronan
Fast moving storyline / great plot
Sizzling chemistry
A book that will hold your interest from the first few pages
Ronan Murphy was injured in Afghanistan & after being sent to Germany for treatment for extensive surgery received an honorable discharge. Coming home to Boston he & his brothers are co-owners in Murphy’s Intelligence & Security – however every client represents exposure as the business is based on exacting justice often times illegally outside the law.
Julia Berenger is strong – disciplined & cynical … the comes from mostly having to be the responsible child growing up & help parent her younger sister Elise because they had a mostly absent Mom. They do have a loving grandfather in the picture who is devoted to his granddaughters.
We find Julia trying to stake out her missing sister’s boyfriend Seth Campbell. Elise has been missing for a few weeks & Julia fears she has been kidnapped or may be dead …. she is desperate to find her sister.
Ronan has been hired by Julia’s grandfather to help in the search for his missing granddaughter & the firm has taken the case on a pro-bono basis.
Julia is staking out Seth’s home when she literally crashes into Ronan almost blowing their cover.
Such great chemistry with these (2) & Julia almost jeopardizes everything when she just continues to follow up leads on her own putting her in the path for getting herself killed or kidnapped herself …
As in a lot of Michelle St James books you are going to be doing some traveling – & in this case you are heading to Dubai as a secret – deadly underground sex trafficking ring is discovered & the first major clue as to where Elise has been taken !
Loved the book could not put it down – can’t wait to see where else the storyline is going to be taking us. Ronan discovers pretty immediately that Julia could be the women he could very easily fall in love with & he will do anything to keep her safe – as well as bring Elise home safely as well …
Great book – definitely a 5 STAR read for me! Highly recommend this book & author
Julia’s sister is missing and the police are of no assistance, so she starts investigating on her own. Then one night Ronan crashes into her life and sparks fly, tempers flare, but headstrong, reckless, take no prisoners Julia is determined to get her way and do everything to save her sister, even sacrifice herself. Ronan on the other hand, is trying to keep her safe from herself and the powerful people after her, but he is fighting a losing battle. This story grabs the reader from the beginning and holds you captivated through all the heart thumping tension, action, intrigue and secrets. Michelle St James did what se does best, written a story that keeps you glued to the pages. I loved the story-line; my only negative is the occasional offensive language.
Flat characters plot was too predictable ends abruptly has 2nd and 3rd installments. Never read 2nd or 3rd books figured from this book and the descriptions of the next 2 the ending of the series. 2 hours of my life I won’t get back. Don’t recommend for anyone over 12 years old
Weak characters and story line. So many missing details. Situations were hard to follow.
For example they walk to the dock to board a boat, but the next line they are eating a meal on the sand as the wait staff cook on the beach. Then board the boat. Did they board the boat, walk past the boat, take the boat somewhere??? It was confusing.
Then is just ended. I’m not paying for more.
I was immediately pulled into the story!
great read.
