LOVED THE ENTIRE SERIES 😍

I am now a huge fan of John Lane. He and Maxine Mitchell were perfect for all the characters. Each story had me in tears, laughter and on the edge of my seat at times. ❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏

Absolutely captivating

The Specialist is the fifth and final book in Men of Hidden Justice series and what a way to end this series. I was hooked to the story when I read it but audio book takes the story to the next level .. I have said it before and will reiterate again . Melanie and the two narrators are the match made in heaven. John and Maxine take the story to a notch up with their brilliant narration and bring Egan and Sofia’s characters to life. I absolutely loved these two and the chemistry between them. Highly recommended this book.

Love this story so much

My favorite in the series!!! Love the extra epilogues to the other characters to at the end

Great story and great narration

The Specialist is the last book in the Men of Hidden Justice and honestly I think and Moreland left the best for last. This is Egan Vulpe and Dr Sofia DeSalvo’s friends to lovers journey but it wouldn’t be part of this series if it didn’t have the twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat.
Egan and Sofia have been friends for years but he has always wanted more than she was prepared to give, he was determined to look to a future with the woman he loves but when she finally gives him a chance his past comes back to haunt him. He know needs the help of his friends from Hidden Justice to fight the evil that threatens him and Sofia. So can he protect the woman he loves…….
This may be the end for the men of Hidden Justice but Ms Moreland has given us a look into the life’s they all now have on the island of dreams.
Maxine Mitchell and John Lane did a wonderful, hon bringing this book to life. Their voices were easy on the ear and they took me off into the world these men have made for their families on the island of dreams.
A wonderful conclusion to a fantastic series.

Egan and Sophia

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭, the fifth and final book in the Men of Hidden Justice series by Melanie Moreland is Egan and Sophia's story.

Egan has loved Sophia since the moment he laid eyes on her but she has always kept him in the friend zone. After an incident at the hospital Sophia works, she admits to Egan her feelings. Happiness only lasts for so long when Egan's past catches up to him.

I enjoyed Egan and Sophia's story and their journey to their happily ever after. I found this book to be a little slower and less suspenseful than the other Men of Hidden Justice books. I did love the final glimpse at the end that gave an update into everyone's lives and wrapped up the series.

John Lane and Maxine Mitchell did another amazing job with this book and were the perfect voices for this series.

Get ready for... mf, secret society, protector, found family, and dual first-person point of view.

Content Warning... murder, kidnapping

4 Maple Leafs and 2 Flames

Wow! This book was amazing.

Wow! This book was amazing. Wow!!! January 2023 is going to be a great month, book related lol.

Egan Vulpe is pretty swooning and easy loving, including his caveman attitude (we all love that, I know). He’s a man with many talents but loving Sofia is his main reason in life. Sofia is really a stubborn and strong woman, everything Egan want. He cracks and demolished all her walls until an “US” is part of then, he’s very persistent. The relationship between them is so romantic and sweet and perfect and steamy it’s amazing. She’s his “Iubirea mea” and he’s her “mio guerriero” (I love always learning new words with Melanie’s books). All the suspense and twist and turns brings more perfection to the story. Men of Hidden Justice is definitely one if the most amazing series. I don’t want it to end!!!

The epilogue was so good and the second epilogue was mouth watering don’t forget to read it. They have space for me in the island???

As always John Lane and Maxine did an amazing performance! Excellent. I love them so much. Thank You for always transfer all the emotions from the characters, the story, everything.

John Lane as Egan made my toes curl

Holy good gravy! I have already said I would the beginning of chapter 3 as a ringtone. It made my toes curl!! No lie!!!

This is a must. John Lane and Maxine Mitchell bring these characters to life. There is so much passion in Egan and John Lane nails it and then some.

Amazing series!

Egan and Sophia's story was the perfect way to end the Men of Hidden Justice series, it simply had great and strong characters, and they matched in a very deep and emotional way with each other. Their story wasn't easy, Sophia's walls were as up as they could go, and Egan never gave up. I was very intrigued by Egan, so quiet yet his story was fantastic. I'm going to miss them all. The audiobook narrated by Maxin Mitchell and John Lane was very well done, it had good pacing and their voices matched the characters. I suggest you hear the audiobook for a very different experience.

5 He Can Let His Guard Down Stars!!

Since I wrote my review for the e-book I've had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook and John Lane and Maxine Mitchell totally bring it with their narration. As intense as the e-book was, having it brought to life by these two was phenomenal! I could feel every single moment and action in my heart. What I especially appreciated though, was their accent when in character as Egan. My great grandmother was from Romania and I remember her intonations and heavy accent and both John and Maxine were spot on!! And Romanian is not easy language so kudos not only to them but to Ms. Moreland for finding the right narrators for this crucial piece of the audiobook.

It’s hard for me to imagine that we’re at the end of the Hidden Justice world. With this series, Melanie Moreland gave me both Heroes and Heroines that I absolutely fell in love with. And with each book, the suspense was just as intense as the book before but in different ways.

With this book Sofia, a constant throughout the previous books, finally gets her story with Egan Vulpe. The enigmatic, silent man that was the expert in blowing things up for Hidden Justice. Things have changed in that HJ really isn’t there anymore, but it appears, that there’s some that aren’t happy about that or at least that Egan doesn’t want to be the “expert” anymore.

The connection between these two is soul-deep. I loved his patience and assurance that Sofia was going to be his and he would do whatever it took to make that happen. This woman, she’s so bright, intelligent, beautiful and caring, but doesn’t really think she can find the love that she’s seen develop all around her. But Egan will change her mind!

As I read this book, the closer I got to the suspense element, I was tense and waiting for the proverbial “shoe to drop” and boy did it ever!! Ms. Moreland didn’t hold back in this book and I was on tenterhooks when everything went down. My heart was in my throat especially when I could truly feel Egan’s anger and fear for the love of his life. Without giving too much away, the men that are HJ play a role in this book and as you can imagine they are a force when they’re all together.

As sad as I am that we’re leaving this world, Ms. Moreland absolutely left me with a smile on my face. I got everything I hoped for when I turned the very last page. If you haven’t read these books you’re truly missing out!

The Specialist
