Judge

Elle James2023
Former Delta Force Operative Joe "Judge" Smith came to work at the Lucky Lady Lodge to help rebuild the old girl to her former glory. Tired of killing, he wants to shoot a nail gun, not a military-grade rifle. Since arriving at the lodge in Montana, he and his team have been embroiled in one dangerous mission after another, unable to avoid using their combat training to help people defend themselves against a radical organization, The Chosen Way. Determined to locate their latest compound and find their leader, Judge goes undercover to infiltrate and gather the intelligence needed to bring them down. The Chosen Way's assassin, PJ, is tasked to train Judge, their newest recruit. Like many members of the organization, she was coerced into submission to protect her family and friends. Saddled with a new recruit, she's surprised at his skills and physical abilities and more than a little attracted. When Judge escapes with another recruit, PJ is given 48 hours to eliminate Judge and bring back proof that he is dead, or she and everyone she loves will be killed. With the clock ticking, PJ can't bring herself to murder Judge, a man she's falling in love with. Together, they devise a plan to take down the TCW's radical leader and dismantle the group forever. Only then can they give in to their growing passion.

A brilliant conclusion to the series! Undercover with a militia, finding a missing person, rescuing brainwashed militia members - this has enough action for everyone.

Judge is strong, tough, compassionate and a wide streak of justice. When he goes under cover to take down a militia he doesn't figure on not only rescuing a teenager, but finding a long term missing person and ally in the investigation.

PJ may think she is a bad person, having carried out some crimes at the behest of her captors but she's no worse than anyone else when faced with a tough decision - kill or be killed. She is cunning, tough and can make quick decisions on who to trust. She really has come along way from that frightened, on the run woman we first met.

Well paced, tight storyline and engaging characters. Well worth the read.
