Justice: New Species, Book 4

By: Laurann Dohner

Narrated by: Vanessa Chambers

Justice North is the face of New Species. Seeing him up close makes Jessie’s heart race. He’s the ultimate alpha male - big, muscular, exotically beautiful… and dangerous. Of course he’s off limits. But then the sexy man purrs and all bets are off. Jessie Dupree is a mouthy, fiery human female who brings out the animal in Justice. She wants to show him how to relax, and he’s all for anything she wants to do, but Justice has sworn to protect his people and to take a Species mate.

He’s torn between the woman he wants and the oath he’s taken. Jessie knows a relationship between them probably won’t end well; heartbreak is inevitable. But that won’t stop her from freeing the wildness inside Justice and spending every moment she can steal wrapped around his hot body, making him roar with passion.

Justice and Jessie, what better couple

Love this one. Justice, being the head of the "New Species", is not only a great leader, but a very intelligent, sex, beautiful man (my imagination). Jessie is a tough little spit fire. She can protect herself, as well as any of those big men she works with. Being the fourth book, you would think that the author wouldn't be able to develop a different personality for another "New Species" character that is unique, but she has. The narrator does an excellent job of distinguishing between the characters. Loved this book. Again, Laurann, or the publisher, who decided to give us a preview of the next book with an entire chapter, knows how to sell books. I was planning on reading another author's book, but after hearing the first chapter of "Justice", I bought it and started it immediately. Now I have moved on to Brawn. Thx

Sexier than the Last!

I’ve been waiting to hear about Justice! You made him to be even sexier and hotter than I could have imagined! Jessie is the best heroine so far! Perfect mates!

Wow, great!

Laurann Dohner delivers. Audible please get us all 12 books in this series. Book 10 (Moon), Book 11 (True), and Book 12 (Darkness). I plan to listen to all of them. Vanessa Chambers is the voice of New Species. Great job!

Awesome

It was awesome. These books just keep getting better and better. I just love the characters. Justice North is everything an alpha male should be.

Power Differential

Justice (H) is the New Species leader and a celebrity politician. He’s a decision maker, a media darling, and a lightning rod for anti-Species fanatics. Jessie (h) is a 'regular person', a member of a Species Retrieval Taskforce and senator’s daughter. Technically she's his subordinate.

I'll admit I was annoyed by the setup of this book. I don't like main female characters that act like tough little men. I don’t enjoy romance books where the couples are obsessed with their work and their own consequence, rather than each other. I didn’t like that Jessie was so lusty for Justice while he was either oblivious or busy. I thought their power differential was too in-your-face. It felt like an invisible woman tripping all over herself to get close to an ‘elite’ man.

But the plot thickens. And the romance really gets good when Justice realizes he's just as obsessed with Jessie. Their trysts are hot. Their fights are hotter. He refuses to take a human mate (for her own safety, for Species safety, and because of the bad optics of not choosing his ‘own kind’). But he's both driven to Jessie by mating fever, and repelled by the weight of his responsibilities. The push pull was AH-MAZING.

This book has the best action scenes of the series (because the h is badass). It's also the most emotionally angsty of the series so far. It has brief ow drama, heaps of male jealousy, and an hea. This is an (almost) perfect offering from Laurann Dohner.
