“Everything I wanted and more!” – Amazon Reader ReviewRonan Murphy’s business is vengeance — but this time it’s personal.Once upon a time Ronan lived by simple rules: take care of his family, take care of his dog, take care of his business – and never, ever let it get personal. But that was before he fell head over heels in love with Julia Berenger. When an ill-fated trip to Dubai forced Ronan to … ill-fated trip to Dubai forced Ronan to choose between finding Julia’s sister, Elise, and saving Julia’s life, he didn’t even think twice.
Julia knows Elise is alive.
It doesn’t matter that Elise was taken by a group of powerful men hidden behind the secret society called Manifest: this time Julia won’t let anything get in the way of saving her sister. Not even Ronan.
But when a new lead turns up in Florence, Ronan and Julia begin a whirlwind quest for answers that brings them face to face with one of the most powerful men behind Manifest. The discovery leads them to a yacht off the coast of Greece and a high-stakes rescue operation with Ronan’s brothers that may force Julia to go it alone.
Ronan has already broken one of his cardinal rules by falling in love with Julia — now the only question is whether he can let her go.

The continuation into so many mysterious culprits related to the missing sister of Julia has heightened leading to dead end. Ronan and his brothers become frustrated with the lengthy investigation into the seedy secret underground world that reaches the rich and dangerous people known. The investigation leads to flared temper, sleepless nights and lost of faith. The intel revealed a famous high social club is used as a front for Manifest, a secret society club with deep dark intentions toward young women. It also was discussed to end the four long months of pro bono investigation from the MIS brothers but Ronan is determined to push forward as he promised. He is utilizing all his resources to expand his investigation into the disappearance of Julia’s sister even if he has to do it without MIS. I loved Ronan consistency with finding Elise. If you weren’t already in love with him you definitely will be now. There is nothing that will stop Ronan from finding Elise and getting revenge on those who deserve it.
The story is suspenseful, raw, and dangerous with a roller coaster ride through torrential territorial dark path to the unexpected ending. I loved this book and this spell-binding, must read series.

5 Stars for Murphy’s Wrath
ARC received from author in exchange for an honest review … opinions expressed are my own !!!
Michelle St James is doing an amazing job with the Murphy’s Law series & this is Book 2. Expect to be taken on a suspenseful yet romantic adventure as Ronan & Julia continue their search for Julia’s sister Elise.
What started out as a failed rescue attempt in Book 1 has Ronan & Julia taking off to Florence & then Greece to follow up on the most promising lead they have had regarding Elise’s disappearance …
Ronan is in the vengeance business along with his 2 brothers but when Julia’s life is threatened all bets are off & he makes a pact that should anything go wrong with this recovery mission Julia’s life needs to be saved at all costs. That is his price paying with his own life for falling in love. Julia has not been able to verbally voice her love for Ronan .. issues from her past keep those words unspoken but they are felt deeply in her heart. These 2 characters have amazing chemistry ! This series has ticked so many of my boxes that I can’t wait to see what is going to happen in Book 3.
Great engaging characters & secondary characters
Great well written & developed plot …
Adventure
Suspense
Romance
Highly recommend not only this series but anything written by this author !!
Loved it !!
A Captivating Story…
Rona Murphy is stretching his brother’s limits and their company MIS in trying to find Elise Berenger, Julia’s sister. Julia, the woman he has fallen in love with. They suspect Manifest, a secret society, has her and is planning on selling her for their sex slavery trade. Julia will stop at nothing to find her. Michelle St James is a fabulous author. Her characters have such class that I love reading her stories. When I read her books, I step into this land of alpha good-looking men, gorgeous women, danger, suspense, sex, grief, love, happiness. All the elements you need for a really good book. I am sure you will love this series!
Another tense installment of the puzzle to find and rescue Julia’s sister, Elise.
Clues that lead to possible dead ends, high stakes infiltrations, incomplete info making missions so risky – it has it all and it had me breathless. The main objectives are to keep everyone safe, get Elise, and make these sick criminals pay. Unfortunately they can’t all happen at the same time. Two steps forward seem to come with one step back. Ronan vows to Julia that he won’t give up the search but are they fighting a losing battle or are they even possibly too late?
Great second part to this exciting trilogy!
This is the second book in the series. The story continues with Ronan & Julia searching for Julia’s sister Elise. Elise was taken by a powerful group and time is running out to get her back. Ronan & his brothers and sister are doing everything they can to help fine Elise. Ronan and Julia are falling in love and that can dangerous because Julia will do anything to find her sister. This book was filled with action,adventure and romance. Can’t wait for the 3rd and final book .
The next installment in the Murphy’s Wrath series and I was so stoked to see what happened after the end of the last book where Ronan and Julia did not find Julia’s sister! I knew they wouldn’t give up at all, let alone easily, and this book was focused on researching, locating, and extracting Julia’s sister while also keeping her safe as well because of her determined nature. I also liked that the book wasn’t completely focused on the romance between Julia and Ronan. It’s definitely more heavy on the suspense and mystery which plays a big role in their romance to me. Without any spoilers, I was so happy for how the book ended but was also concerned on what the next book would entail in addition to who is now after Julia and the rest of her family. There were also some additional points towards the end that also make me wonder who really kidnapped her sister and the reasoning behind it. I’m hoping all those questions will be answered in the next book, but Michelle is really great at doing that so I’m not too concerned to be left with unanswered questions.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This was a fantastic book. You know what’s coming, but not expecting the twists that it’s taking.
Julia’s sister Elise is still missing after months of investigating possible suspects, surveillance and computer hacking, until one day a clue surfaces. Julia and Ronan have grown close, but for Julia there is still the unexpected of what will happen once Elise is found. The story-line continues with the search for Elise, but includes danger, nail biting suspense, action, romance and strong characters. A definite page turner!
