5 STARS FOR MURPHY’S LOVE
ARC received from author in exchange for an honest review.
Opinions expressed are my own & have not been influenced in any way.
Murphy’s Love is Book #3 in the Murphy’s Law series. They are not standalone(s) but I HIGHLY recommend reading all three books they are FANTASTIC ( top 10 reads for me this year )
This story picks up after book #2 – Julia’s sister Elise was rescued & is working towards recovery from her kidnapping almost having been sold into human trafficking ( Manifest ) sex slave operation.
The team is still searching for clues behind Manifest and pick up a lead that Mark Gordon is a key player in the Manifest hierarchy. In order to question Mark they travel to Monaco. Information that comes from brutalized / torture yields further information but at a cost – putting Julia & Elise on the Manifest radar once again.
This book was one I could not put down – loved it from first to last pages !! Ronan & Julia do not have an easy time getting to their happily ever after.
But then no relationship is an easy one & it’s great to see that even with all the challenges this couple faces true love is going to win out Everything about this couple & storyline is very relatable … timing of certain events also causes the reader to think about what really drives & motivates these two characters.
I loved this book !! I am also super excited to see that Nick ( Ronan’s brother ) will be getting his own book @ the tail end of Murphy’s Love there are some hints at his potential involvement with the MA Assistant Attorney General Alexa Nash.
Great read – highly recommend not only this book but the 3 book series !!
Ronan is as hard and cold as steel and knows he will protect what is right and what he loves. And he knows he loves Julia. He will stop at nothing to protect her and bring retribution & justice to her family whom he has grown to love as well.
Amazing action-packed exciting conclusion to this story.
All those Murphy boys are hot and fierce and I can’t wait to move on to the next!
Murphy’s Love is the 3rd book of the series. Julia & Ronan are still trying to figure out who is behind Manifest. You have suspense,romance & mystery but they get the answered that they are looking for. This book was a great read from beginning to end. .
5 Stars for a Suspenseful Ending!
This was another page turner by Michelle St. James. Ronan and Julia have finally rescued Julia’s sister, Elise from a massive sex trafficking ring that is operated by a extremely dangerous organization called Manifest. Ronan and his brothers partner in their own organization, outside of the legal system, and are determined to bring down Manifest. Julia is twice as driven to bring them down. I loved the book, there was so much suspense, along with some steamy sex, and danger. Michelle St. James has never disappointed me with her books. Make sure you read book 1 & 2 first.
What a great ending to this trilogy! Julia and Ronan continue to dig into who is holding all the cards with Manifest, and little by little throughout the course of this book they make the headway they need in order to take the organization down. In true Michelle fashion, getting the answers to the burning questions is never easy and doesn’t come without a full range of emotions throughout this final book. Yet again, I love how this book has a great balance between romance and suspense/mystery, and how it continues to keep me guessing into the next book, even into the next trilogy like this one did. This book definitely showed some growth and change for Julia with the fallout of the events leading up to the end, and her and Ronan get a surprise along the way. I can’t wait for the next trilogy because although it’s done focusing on these two, we will still be able to get their continued story in the background of Nick’s journey!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
The rescue of Elise was successful but the next mission become more of a challenge than expected. Ronan is determined to take the culprit(s) down in the human trafficking organization. He has several leads but knew they aren’t the top dog of the organization but hope for answers as to who is. It seems so much had changed in the life of Elise, Julia and Ronan with the unknown threats still lingering until the discovery of Mark Gordon being a person of interest. Mark Gordon is the owner of a private security firm and responsible for a series of inhumanity happens worldwide although he always slipped through the authorities loopholed. The big breakthrough of revealing and exposing Manifest top mastermind behind the human trafficking was without consequences and threats to MIS operations and Ronan freedom.
This is a continuation of suspense, greed, unexpected twists and turns in the dark corrupt mind of people ways to lining their pockets. Overall, I really enjoyed this story, and extremely excited to read about Nick Murphy after being left hanging with a HFN situation.
****I voluntarily received an Advance Review Copy of this book in exchange for my honest review****
It has been weeks since Elise has been rescued from her kidnappers and Ronan and the team has been working non-stop to find the men behind Manifest and her kidnapping. Julia and Ronan’s love has grown stronger and Julia is dreading what will happen once Manifest is brought to justice and she and Elise will return to their lives. Finally, they caught a break, but then all hell break loose and the unseen happens. Once again Michelle St James has created an exceptional story with strong men, strong females, lots of suspense, action and takes the reader on a roller-coaster of emotions. Murphy’s Love is one of those books that has so much happening that you will be hooked from beginning to end. I loved Ronan and Julia’s story; I am just surprised by how it ended.
