Men of Hidden Justice
Because love can bleed into the darkest heart

I found her when I least expected.

I should have let her go, but I couldn't.

My world is too dangerous for her.

And without her life has no meaning.

For the first time in my life, I'm taking what I want.

Consequences be damned.

5 He’s Her Savior Stars!!!

As much as I loved this story when I read it, listening to the audiobook expertly narrated by Maxine Mitchell and John Lane brought this story to an entirely new level for me. The elements of suspense were that much greater listening to Ms. Moreland's words come to life. I felt every fear of Missy and the power of Marcus and what he would do to protect this woman that he's fallen in love with. I have a new appreciation for Missy and her determination to heal and have a life she never thought possible. Ms. Mitchell and Mr. Lane have done exactly what I love with an audiobook that I've had the pleasure of reading the printed book prior to listening... they made me fall in love with all the idiosyncrasises I missed while reading giving me an entirely new experience with a book I already loved!!

*****************

I already loved Marcus when I met him in The Boss, but this book has made me love him even more!!

He’s a man that knows bringing this fragile and shattered girl to his home is exactly what he shouldn’t do, but there’s something about Missy that makes him go against all the rules!!

Marcus is truly tested when Missy enters his life and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for her. But Missy is so broken and while she comes to trust him, she also has feelings for him that Marcus is reticent to explore… but he only has so much willpower and when he finally decides to be the man that heals Missy in every way possible.

Along the way, there are some revelations that were shocking and just made me that much more invested in this series. I cannot wait for Julian’s book because I think there are things that we don’t know yet and his book may answer some of my questions!

Great story.

I had no idea I read for 6 hours until my husband asked me if I was planning on doing anything else today. The Boss was great, like vanilla ice cream great, Second In Command is like the chocolate sauce with a cherry on top great. I’m waiting anxiously to read the next book. This series is definitely addictive, the men are hot, strong, protective of their loved ones especially their better half and they’re fighting to protect women. I mean. They don’t get to be any perfect in my eyes than that. The heroines are strong but soft and feminine. The stories are interesting and memorable. Do yourself a favor and get on this series.

Better than I expected.

Melanies writing was just as i expected..great as always. But i knew this hero was hard to write. Just as intense as I expected him to be and more loving and swoonworthy than I thought. I loved Missys strength. Great book. Narration on point as always.

Great Story and great narration

John Lane and Maxine Mitchell did a wonderful job bringing the characters and the story to life. They were spot on with the emotions and the tension featured throughout Marcus and Missy’s story.

Second In Command is Marcus and Missy’s story and it’s the perfect second book in the Men of Hidden Justice Series. I have been open and honest when I say I’m not into dark romance but Melanie Moreland has taken me to the dark side and I now want more!!!!!
I was captivated from the first page to the last line, I made the mistake of starting this story at night and a sleepless night followed so please make sure you have time to finish what you start because I’m sure like me you will want to finish this roller coaster of a ride in one sitting.
Marcus Gallo was second in command under Matteo but when Matteo retired he stepped up to run his own team. He is determined to carry on eliminating the men who harm innocent people and when his team rescues a group of woman he finds Missy battered and caged and that’s when his protective nature goes into overdrive. What follows is a couple forming a bond as they work on finding the man responsible but this book is also a very tender love story as Missy becomes the light in Marcus’s dark.
I’m loving Ms Moreland’s dark world and I’m so happy I decided to jump into this world because it may be dark but there’s also light and I’m so excited for book 3.

Missy and Marcus

This book was so good I am sorry it was not longer. There was plenty of suspense and romance. The book had a great ending. I am looking forward to Julian's story. Maxine Mitchell and John Lane did a great job with the narration.

Team strong women with hidden talent

Thank you, thank you for this series. I love how you view the women in your books. Melissa was saw weak but she had overcome so much. I love this story

Dark Romance

Second In Command is the 2nd book in the Men of Hidden Justice. Melanie Moreland has a gift with words. I absolutely love Marcus & Missy! Once I started this book, I finished it in one day. I could not put it down. I love this darker side of her. I felt like I was on a rollercoaster. All the twists and turns. I really liked listening to it as well.

Action packed and steamy!

“Second in Command '' starts off at 100 MPH, pulling you in and doesn’t stop until the epilogue.

Marcus is the savior Missy needed when she was kidnapped by a trafficker. Marcus and his team had a mission where they were able to save several women who had been kidnapped. Going on his instincts, he finds Missy who was locked away in a cage. His instincts to protect her go into overdrive. Missy is scared but knows she can trust Marcus. As she heals, they get to know each other and feelings start to develop.

I loved this story. It was a steamy, heartfelt romantic suspense. It was action packed and such a great story. I love the unsuspecting alpha who finds his forever when he least expects it. Missy was such a strong woman who went through something evil in just a couple weeks. She didn’t let her fears stop her from helping stop the man who kidnapped her and the other women.

Maxine Mitchell was absolutely amazing. She always brings all the emotions to every character she plays. And her male voice is so good. John Lane is a new to me narrator and he was the perfect choice for Marcus. He has an amazing gruffy voice.

Second-In-Command

A great story about a secret agency and the 2nd book of "Men of Hidden Justice".

I listened to the first book as well and enjoyed it, so it was nice to listen to that book too.

I liked the way how Marcus and Missy met, although it was not a great circumstance.
But the story behind and everything around kept me listen nearly non-stop.

Looking forward to book 3.

Suspense

I love how Melanie writes these strong women. Melissa (Missy) could have been so meek and afraid after everything she went through, instead she’s strong with a hidden talent.
Overall I enjoyed the performance. I wish there had been more of Maxine Mitchell since she’s so good at expressing the emotions of the characters.
