July 23, 2023I am so sorry, but I cannot turn off my brain for this book. Most of the time with a romantic suspense, I can just pretend I'm not a lawyer, but that gets harder when it's a murder investigation and they're talking about ignoring conflicts of interest while trying to prove this man's brother innocent. Nope. Sorry. No can do.
That said, if you're not a lawyer, I'm sure this book is a delight! Go forth and have a great time.
Thanks to Netgalley and Harlequin for the opportunity to read this one as an e-ARC, but I actually purchased my own copy as well.

In the arms of the Law is the filth instalment in the To Serve and Seduce series. This was a page turner, once I started I could not put it down until I read the last page. I enjoyed this Romantic Suspense I was working hard to solve this crime right along with the Black's and Angela. This has been a good series so far.

Terrific book that kept me hooked from beginning to end. The intensity and urgency are apparent as defense attorney Ellington is called to the home of his brother Parker. Parker, a Chicago police officer, is accused of murdering his partner and lover, DA Jonathan Wyler. The scene there is intense, with Parker devastated and in shock, the violence of the murder, and the attitudes of the responding officers. Ellington is determined to prove Parker's innocence.
Because Parker is part of the Chicago police department, headed by Jerome Black, Parker and Ellington's father, the mayor assigns a special investigator to the case. Angela is a take-no-prisoners kind of investigator. She is unbiased, intelligent, and doesn't suffer fools gladly.
The book was a terrific mixture of suspense and romance. Ellington and Angela connected the first time they met and quickly realized that both wanted to find the truth. Thanks to Angela's attention to detail, I enjoyed the deeper-than-usual look at the investigative process. I loved that she was suspicious of the accusation from the beginning, and watching her tear a strip off the lead detective in the case was a pleasure to see. The realization that something is fishy is reinforced when the mayor turns around and fires Angela when she refuses to go along with his preferred scenario. Determined to see the truth exposed, Angela joins Ellington, and they combine forces on their investigation.
The story intensified with each new piece of information they uncovered. There is evidence of corruption and cover-ups; the closer they get to the truth, the more danger they are in. They also discover that there is a personal element to the setup that comes as a shock to everyone. I loved seeing the unquestioning support of all family members for Parker. Their brother Mingus, the private investigator, plays a significant role in uncovering vital information. When the person behind it all makes his move, Ellington's mother and Angela are in extreme danger. The twists and turns of the resolution had me glued to the pages until it was all over. The stunning end was not what I expected, and it will be interesting to see its long-term effects in the next book.
I enjoyed seeing the relationship develop between Ellington and Angela. They are alike in their pursuit of the truth, and working together allows them to get to know each other. I like how well they connected and how easily they talked about anything. Their attraction is evident from the start and continues to grow throughout the book. I liked that neither one fought their feelings and that they were able to express them. I also loved that Angela had such a realistic view of what it takes to have a good relationship. I have no that she and Ellington will stay together, but she is determined to take it slowly enough to be sure. Her conversation with Ellington at the end was great.
I loved seeing more of Ellington's family. The relationship between his parents is an excellent example for the entire family. The teasing and snarkiness among the siblings were hilarious to watch, but it all stops when it comes to supporting a brother or sister in trouble. I can't wait to see what is in store for sister Vaughan.

What did I just read? This was well paced, with a believable romance and an *actual* investigation going on ON PAGE and not just when we weren't looking! We knew who the antagonist was way before the last ten pages of the book, and though it was a teensy bit OTT it wasn't utterly ridiculous! The MCs exchanged ILYs at a decent point of the book, but even at the end weren't jumping on the matrimony train just yet--amazing! Almost every other author I've read from this imprint in the past year+ should be taking notes... (I wish I was exaggerating, but I'm not. This one was about 250% better written than all but 1 or maybe 2 of the more than 40 books I've read from this line in the past year.)
OK, snark aside--In the Arms of the Law was a truly enjoyable read. The pacing was excellent on both the romance and the suspense, and the characters (main and secondary) were likable and relatable. I especially liked that Angela took no crap--not from her boss, the feds, Ellington, Ellington's often-intimidating family--from no one. The relationship between Ellington and the rest of his family was a hoot to read, even if you haven't read anything else in the series yet (this is book #5; I did read the third book, Reunited by the Badge in 2019 but honestly other than I liked it, I remember zero details. I don't even want to count how many other books I've read in the meantime; surely I can be forgiven?)
By my count, there should be 2 more books if all the siblings are getting one (because please tell me poor Parker will!) and I am absolutely going to be keeping an eye out for them. If it'll be a while, that'll at least give me time to get caught up on the 3 I haven't read yet--something to look forward to!

This is the 5th book in the “To Serve And Seduce Series”. The last book in this series that the readers received was March 2021 “Stalked By Secrets”. So glad that Deborah was able to give the readers another book in the Black Series. I have been a fan of Deborah’s since the Stallion Series. Deborah has an awesome style of writing; she holds the reader's attention and never lets them go. I am loving the romance suspense writing style of Deborah. I am so loving the mystery, suspense, drama, corruption, secrets, mayhem, romance and surrounding the Black family with such awesome plots. Ellington is a defense attorney, and his brother Parker has been accused of murder and he is defending him. Angela is a special investigator, and she knows that there is so much more going on with the murder charges against Parker. Angela and Ellington team up together to get to the bottom of what is actually going on. The chemistry and attraction between Angela and Ellington is oh so good.
This is an awesome series, and I am waiting patiently for the book in the Black series.
Did someone frame Parker, was it a setup, who killed Wyler, is there more going on than Ellington and Angela know about, will the two find themselves needing representation?
I received an ARC via NetGalley HARLEQUIN - Romance (U.S. & Canada), Harlequin Romantic Suspense and I am leaving my review voluntarily.

Talented storyteller, Deborah Fletcher Mello has penned another intriguing and entertaining story about the prominent Black family of Chicago. This story features Defense Attorney, Ellington Black and Special Investigator Angela Stanfield.. This is the fifth book of the To Serve and Seduce Miniseries that highlights members of the Black family, This book is a wonderful mix of suspense and romance. The chemistry between Ellington and Angela is off-the-charts!
Ellington and the Black family are knee deep in a crime that has them closing ranks to protect their brother, Parker who seems to be the #1 suspect in tge murder of his partner and lover, DA Jonathan Wyler. Thus story has it all: bad actors, family drama, murder, mayhem, corruption in high places, and last but not least, romance. Ellington and Angela hit it off from the very beginning when she us hired to investigate Wyler’s murder. This is such a well-written story that will make it hard to put down. The Black family, with all their flaws, is one of the premier book families. I like them, and I believe you will too.
Although each book of the series can be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend that you read them all. In the meantime, IN THE ARMS OF THE LAW is a winner! You can thank me later.

And how she was in the arms of the law!!
This startling chronicle of a family inundated by problems most would proclaim stem from them all being an over achieving high profile family, takes on a deadly turn from unsuspecting sources! Unfortunately the resulting child of a traumatic assault on the family matriarch has left him bitter and out for revenge. I would love for mother and the oldest son to have had a real heart to heart and maybe his life could have been spared and eventually he could have been folded into the family fabric! Such tragedy befell this family and I truly wish other choices would have been made so he could get the family/motherly love he has probably missed all of his life. I enjoyed Ellington and Angela's story and how the family rallied to each other's side and closed ranks to protect, uplift and love one another with a fierce family loyalty!!!!! I would also like to have witnessed those corrupt officers being outed and brought to heel!

Ellington's brother is being blamed for the murder of his lover and the police this is a simple case no further looking around needed. Angela is a investigator who believe there is more then that and on a mission to find the truth.
I love mystery suspense novels and this was perfect for that. I also enjoyed that romance that was going on between Ellington and Angela. I also appreciate that it wasn't too much, while there maybe a steamy scene or two it wasn't the main part of the book. I loved watching as the mystery unfolded. I mean there was the obvious look that there are crooked cops and wondering who was the person behind everything I mean Angela kept finding evidence after evidence helping clear the brothers name but someone clearly wanted him to be blamed. Overall this was a pretty good book I really enjoyed it.

What ending too the Black series this story was filled with suspense, intrigue and lots of action. This is the fifth and final installment in the Black family series and this story did not disappoint. Here eldest brother Parker Black a Chicago Police Captain is accused of murder. Who his lover district attorney Jonathan Wyler. This is when things get interesting when secrets come out and we meet special agent Angela Stanfield the chemistry between her and Ellington pop from the first meeting. The past certainly comes back to haunt the Black family with explosive ending. Fabian wasn't just crazy he was insane.

When his brother is accused of murder, attorney Ellington Black vows to prove his innocence, even as he comes up against investigator Angela Stanfield, who suspects there's more to the story. But Ellington needs evidence, so they team up to find out the truth. Can new love survive their investigation?
This was a great contemporary romantic suspense. The plot kept me at the edge of my seat wondering how the story would end. The Black family is full of interesting characters, and I want to read the rest of their stories. It was a pleasurable, easy read. Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin for this advanced reader’s copy. This review is my unbiased opinion.

Love And Corruption!
This book was the total package! It had love, mystery, corruption and murder! It seems as if everyone was “hating “ on the Black family. They were a very strong and loving close knit family. The matriarch of the Black family had a lot to deal with in her family and her profession. I’m just glad that Angela arrived to help with Parker’s case. While doing so, she and Ellington found each other. I’m so glad they had each other! Loving this series! Thank you Deborah!! ❤️🔥

Miss Mello just keeps getting better and better with each book. When I read the first few pages of in the arms, I thought I had missed something so I went back and reread book four. No spoilers. I did miss something. I miss the flavor of Chicago that Miss Mello captures so very well, but I digress. In the arms of the Law answered so many questions, and posed so many more. The Blacks a strong Chicago Family. They say always leave them wanting more, Miss Mello left me needing more. Bravo, bravo Miss Mello keeping keep them coming.

Ellington and Angela are great together. Two very smart, sexy, and truth seeking people get together to solve the mystery of who killed Parker’s boyfriend. Parker is gay; interesting twist.
I knew from reading the other books that Judith’s first born would be an issue. I didn’t realize the extend. Talk about hurt people hurt, Fabian is the poster child for that saying.
The mystery was solved, justice was served, and Ellington and Angela are happily in love 🥰.
We need Vaughn story and close out this series by getting Parker his well deserved HEA.

Enjoyable
I adore the Black family and their dynamics. The story started with Parker being charged with a crime, and then it turns into Ellington's story. Poor Parker was left and forgotten, to ask, hey what about my story? Anyway, Ellington and Angela's story took over, but it was okay, as they would be vital to solving the huge mystery surrounding Parker. The family drama this time included the whole family. A good read...

Parker Black got out of the shower and found his boyfriend dead. His bother Ellington Black was determined to prove his brother's innocence. Angela Stanfield was brought in on the case as an independent investigator. This story had a lot of unexpected twists and turns. The very conservative and uptight Ellington finally meets his match in Angela.

Good mystery and love story. The large family and how they agree and fight is a great example of family love. It also brought out the good intentions of adoptions don't always work out. That's while women should determine what's best for them and their bodies.

In the Arms of the Law is the 5th book in Deborah’s To Serve and Seduce Series. It follows Attorney Ellington Black who’s brother is accused of murder. He comes up against a force of nature by the name of Special Agent Angela Stanford who thinks there’s more than meets the eye. The attraction between them is palpable so when they team up to clear his brothers name sparks start to fly.
As per my normal I’m great at selecting Books and then realizing they are a part of a series….which leads to endless additions to my ever growing TBR and this series is no different. I’m really enjoying the romantic suspense that harlequin has been publishing I love that it combines my two favorite genres. I will be going back and reading the first 4 books prior to this. I highly recommend checking out his book.

This is a Romantic Suspense, and this is the 5th book in the To Serve and Seduce series. I have read and reviewed one other book in this series before picking this book up, but I feel that this book can be read as a standalone without any problems. This book is full of action, suspense, romance, and steamy times. I enjoyed the mix of romance and action in this book. I really liked the characters in this book. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Harlequin Romantic Suspense) or author (Deborah Fletcher Mello) via NetGalley, so I can give an honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.
