REVIEW: Cheating Justice by Misty Evans and Adrienne Giordano

In Cheating Justice (Justice Team #2) by Misty Evans and Adrienne Giordano, former FBI agent Mitch is now a fugitive trying to clear his name after being framed for a murder he didn’t commit. When two of Mitch’s long time friends and fellow agents are killed, Mitch knows something big is going on and he is determined to find out what. Now he has not only his name to clear, but murder’s to solve and a conspiracy surrounding his friends death to uncover.

Caroline is an FBI agent, and a sniper for the SWAT team. She is also a former friend and colleague of Mitch’s. After a hot one night stand with him that she’s determined to pretend never happened, everything started to go wrong and Mitch disappeared. Caroline still dreams of him, and remembers his touch. When he takes the risk to approach her for help, Caroline is very cautious. But Caroline wants to do what’s right…even if it means risking her career. Suddenly on the run with Mitch, they race against time to uncover a huge governmental conspiracy, seeking to redeem not only Mitch, but his friends. Can they do it though? With danger surrounding them and time against them, the chemistry they felt in the past is still sizzling. Mitch will be happy when it is all over and he has Caroline. He wants her back, as much as he wants redemption. Can he have it all though? Or is it too late?

Cheating Justice is a fast paced, suspenseful romance. Misty and Adrienne kept me on edge, never knowing what would happen next, and who to trust. Caroline and Mitch are both strong characters in Cheating Justice. I really like how they had a strong past connection that was never truly severed, and I liked how they come back to each other with more than one purpose even as Caroline resists. They are different, yet their goals are the same and their sense of justice strong. Not to mention the powerful chemistry between them that heats up the pages! Their interactions are realistic and at times quite entertaining.

Misty and Adrienne give us a host of secondary characters in Cheating Justice who all play important roles in pulling the story together. Brice, a conspiracy theorist blogger, is a strong secondary character who will spend a lot of time with Caroline and Mitch. I really liked his character and the way he takes part in Cheating Justice with Caroline and Mitch.

Misty and Adrienne have obviously done a lot of research to write Cheating Justice, and their writing, plot, and explanations have an incredible sense of reality to them. The pace of Cheating Justice flows smooth and is easy to get pulled in to. With serious suspense, a great chemistry and connection between the main characters, and some humor interspersed throughout, I would recommend Cheating Justice to any romantic suspense reader.

While investigating a government cover-up, former FBI agent Mitch Monroe is framed for murder. A wanted man, Mitch has no choice but to stay off the grid, and he needs Special Agent Caroline Foster—the FBI’s top sniper and a woman who wants nothing to do with him—to clear his name.

After sharing a single night of simmering passion with Mitch a year ago, Caroline hasn’t been able to get him out of her head. Or her heart. He’s jeopardized her job once…helping him now could end her career. But a friend has been murdered, and no matter how Caroline feels about Mitch, he’s not the killer. She needs answers, and she needs Mitch Monroe out of her life once and for all.

On the run and with no one to turn to, Mitch and Caroline can’t fight the reigniting passion between them. She’ll lose her career if she proves Mitch is innocent…he’ll lose his life if she doesn’t.
