It's the sequel to a book I basically liked, and has managed to ruin any fond memories I might have harbored. Jessica and Mark had a nice little adventure in Pursuit after Jessica survived a car crash that killed the first lady of the US. They ran away from some bad guys, nearly got killed a few times, had some steamy sex, and got together at the end. It wasn't brilliant, but I enjoyed it.

Then I Picked up this book, not even realizing that it was a sequel, just noting that I hadn't read a book by Robards in a while and that I was in the mood for her usual formula -- brainless suspense that is fast-paced, easy to read, and very predictably good without being very good or great. Well, I suppose there had to be one that really blew it. After all, she wrote one that surprised me in the other direction (Vanished). :)

So yeah. Jessica and Mark apparently broke up after their HEA in book one. That really threw me for a loop right there. I mean, WHAT? He was apparently kissing her boss so she broke up with him. (Good decision!) He has some vague internal thoughts about how he was probably subconsciously trying to sabotage the relationship because...blah blah blah blah blah. I really didn't care to see these two get back together again. Which isn't to say that I wanted them to stay broken up, just that I didn't care. And it's kind of like, so what if they get back together again? You ruined the HEA once, what's to say you won't do it again?

Plus, the mystery/suspense was weak. It took forever for anyone to even realize anyone was dead, which seemed a little weird to me given all the clues popping up. In fact, there wasn't really a clear, focused goal here. Someone did try to kill Jessica again, but I can't honestly say the story was about that as it didn't stop her from going to work.

And while I'm busily trashing the book, can I just say that there was a very random, very useless, very lame ghost that appeared in the book. You know...write a paranormal...don't write a paranormal...but don't suddenly have a ghost appear in the second book of a series that has not demonstrated any propensity for that kind of thing at all. Kind of gave me whiplash wondering what that ghost was doing there. Oh, and the answer is nothing at all. The ghost wasn't even particularly good scenery.

Let's see, what else...Oh yeah. I don't like Jessica anymore. She's a defense lawyer on the fast track who is more into her career than anything else. At the very beginning of the story, she is defending a rapist she feels is probably guilty. And I realize that there are people out there that do that, and that it's a critical part of our justice system, but I guess I don't have the "lawful good" outlook on morality such a job requires. If a guy's a rapist, he's scum, and so is anyone who defends him, especially if they know or even strongly suspect that he's guilty.

In addition to not liking the kind of person who can do this, I found her a bit inconsistent. On the one hand, she's all for getting the promotions and making it big, but on the other hand, she's investigating things that are, at the least, likely to get her fired. Her concern over Tiffany, the rape victim, just didn't jibe with the rest of what was going on here. I could see her trying to figure out what happened to Allison, her predecessor, but Tiffany? Didn't buy it.

Oh, and I didn't buy the ending. I won't spoil it, even though I don't think you should read this, because if I really haven't given you enough reasons to stay away from this book....

I really hope there won't be another sequel. I definitely won't read it. I would rather reread Twilight. And if you know me, you know that's saying something!

I was disappointed with this one. At first I thought it would be interesting to read a follow-up book by K.Robards. Sadly I was let down by the fact that the two main characters of the previous book (Pursuit) had ended their relationship and were no longer together at the start of this book. So this was like history repeating itself. If they got together or not at the end of the book was irrelevant to me, because I have no faith it would remain that way.

I read Justice because I really enjoyed one of Robards's other novels--Shattered--which surprised me, because from the cover it looked like a very trashy book (and I didn't think the book was trashy at all!). However, I was mostly disappointed by Justice, which was the quintessential trashy womens' novel.

I would love to try and do a count of how many times Robards describes character Mark Ryan's chest as "broad" or "wide." My head was screaming, "give me a break!" the whole time I was reading t...more

Not being real big on the ghost theme myself I was kinda worried when it first made an apperence however I think that Karen Robards played nice and light. The cheating part was in thier past and the h had walked in on the H kissing another woman, to some people reading the book it might not be that big of a deal and to others it would be a deal breaker and I just wanted to let people know.

Jess (h) has finally getting her break and moving up the ladder at the law firm that she works at. After winning a big case, wich she has questions about whether she really had anything to do with the win or if others had pulled some strings behind her back,she now gets to take over for another woman who abruptly leaves the firm to run away and elope. However the one fly in the ointment is that having witnessed the death of the First Lady (in a previous book) she has been in the witness protection program and now after the big win her her face is all over the news papers and her life is in danger.

Mark (H) new he had messed up big time with Jess and though he knows why now he didn't then. Now that he's been assinged to keep her safe he would do so with his life if need be, all he has to do is get her to accept him back into her life and to do what he tells her....not going to be easy to do.

I toyed with giving this one 3 1/2 * because of two things. 1) I never felt the tension between the H and h that I knew was supose to be there, though it could have been because I've been really busy and didn't have the time to really get absorbed into the book. And 2) there was a mistake in the begingin of the book...on page 17 the bad guy "closes the garbage lid with a clatter of plastic" and then again on the next page and again "with a clatter of plastic". It just annoys me when the author or proof reader doesn't catch something like that.(less)

Karen Robards’ Justice is a gripping read that you will not be able to put down. It starts off with a woman getting killed while two teenagers are hiding under her bed. And moves to a courtroom scene where Jess is surprised by the outcome because, well, she’s absolutely certain her client is actually guilty.

She’s in the Secret Service’s witness protection program (of sorts) after witnessing the murder of the First Lady.

After listening to an hour of the newly released Justice, I was wondering more about the TSTL behavior of heroine Jessica Ford than the plot. She’s in the Secret Service’s witness protection program (of sorts) after witnessing the murder of the First Lady. Now that she is established with her new identity, she only takes the slightest of precautions and has more an attitude of “Why are you making me do this?” than anything else. But I digress because this is one good romantic suspense tale made even better in audio by Angela Dawe’s narration.

Mark Ryan is the Secret Service agent attempting to keep Jess safe – not an easy job. He’s also her former boyfriend and their established relationship (they called it quits only months before) was quite a plus as I felt an immediate connection between the two despite the fact that they were no longer an item. Mark pushes to keep Jess safe and give their relationship another chance while she pushes back (with good reason I might add).

But the suspense was, for the most part, just like I like it – with little to no gore and a true mystery. I had no idea of the villain’s identity and the mystery plays from three separate angles – all intriguing. Although there are a number of secondary characters, Mark and Jess’s relationship still receives ample attention – another requirement for my idea of a successful romantic suspense. The part I wasn’t too crazy about? The final suspense scene – Robards seemed to lose her originality.

Prior to Justice, my only experience with narrator Angela Dawe was Nalini Singh’s Slave to Sensation and I wasn’t overly impressed with her ability to distinguish characters. However, she won me over with Justice. Although I was unable to differentiate secondary female and male voices at times, I had no difficulty with Mark and Jess and, I must say, at times that’s all that matters to me. She understands Mark and Jess and is especially spot on with her performance of Mark. I had no doubt he was the character Robards intended him to be and that was evident with his first lines.

After I finished Justice and rushed off to Audible to find more of Robards’ romantic suspense backlist, I discovered that Justice is actually the sequel to Pursuit. I never guessed – Justice stands on its own that well. Robards’ website is not up to date so I can’t be sure of the fact but it appears that Mark and Jess will have at least one more book (The Jessica Ford Series). A few unsolved bits remain here although I was quite satisfied with the ending. I’m definitely backing up and listening to Pursuit.

We first met Jess and Mark in that book when Jess was the sole survivor of a car accident involving the First Lady of the US. You can read this book as a stand alone but I would suggest reading "Pursuit" first to get a handle on why exactly Jess and Mark believe that she is in danger in this book. I enjoyed this one more than I did "Pursuit".

Because of the events in "Pursuit" Jess is supposed to be keeping a low profile. She is in the Secret Service's version of Witness Protection. I don't know if such a thing really exists or if Robards made it up but I have to say, they don't seem very competent. Jess stays in her same apartment, works in the same career field and makes only minor changes to her name and appearance. How exactly is that supposed to keep her safe? I didn't quite get it. Naturally, she blows her low profile and her low cover. So Mark, a Secret Service agent who's responsible for her safety shows back up to provide guard duty, or babysitting duty as Jess snidely calls it. She and Mark got involved in the last book, broke up in the interim between books, and she's still bitter. Actually, they both are bitter but Mark handles it more maturely.

Because of the events in the prior book, Mark believes that a hit man may be after Jess. Jess though, as she digs into the cases she inherited when she took on her new job, comes to believe that it's current events that have her in danger. They disagree, with Mark belittling Jess' reasoning and Jess reluctant to admit that he might possibly be right.

There are actually three story threads running through this book - that of another lawyer, Allison Howard, whom Jess replaces in the middle of a case; two teenage runaways, Lucy and Jaden; and then Jess and Mark. The focus in on Jess and Mark but the others are all important to the overall story line, and Robards alternates viewpoints among Jess, Mark, and Lucy, with a brief bit of time spent inside Allison's head. They are all interconnected though Robards takes her time revealing exactly how and throwing us a few surprises along the way.

Parts of the story are predictable - the outcome of the case, the accused's responsibilty, the clashes between Jess and Mark, but there are also twists and turns. Jess's computer skills were convenient to the storyline, a little too convenient since we aren't given reason for them or an explanation for how she acquired them. Robards wrote interesting characters and Jess's family could easily be a series unto themselves. I got annoyed with Jess at times with the way she treated Mark, both personally and professionally and I didn't buy Mark's objections to Jess having a full-time career. His objections didn't come across as valid but more as the required obstacle to two lovers being together.

Despite the flaws, the book held my attention and I read it in just a couple of sittings. It flowed well and I enjoyed the characters and the interactions. It's pretty standard Robards material and pretty standard romantic suspense but if you like either of those, you should pick this one up. You'll enjoy it.

I received this hardcover from the publisher for review.

I enjoyed this book up until the end when it seemed the author was bodysnatched by a lesser writer. Or maybe she hit a deadline and had to tidy it up real quick. Whatever, throughout the entire book we're reminded of how caring and compassionate the protagonist is, how strong her commitment to justice is. By the end, when called upon to make her biggest sacrifice she just sort of fizzles out. There's no explanation for her change in character just a sort of hasty conclusion to the action.

This one started off really, really exciting and I was into it. And then, when it got to the trial, things went downhill. Probably what frustrated me most was the long, drawn out sentences. There were parentheses inside parentheses and by the time you finally made it to the end of the sentence you had totally forgotten who was even being described. I don't mind sarcasm but it went overboard and took away from the story in my opinion.
