Tally and Julian

This was Julian, the Commander's story. We learn more about Julian, the calm efficient leader of Hidden Justice, and the organization. Julian's administrative assistant leaves and he ends up hiring a beautiful young woman, who has some issues of her own (in the past, he only hired very mature women). Julian is bitten by the love bug almost as soon as he sees her. Tally likes that the job is in a very secure building and we find out why. This was a nice romance between them but I found Tally annoying at times. Although this book was good, for me, it was not as good as the previous two books. John Lane and Maxine Mitchell did a great job with the narration.

Julian And Tally's Story

Book 3 of Men of Hidden Justice is an awesome saga of a group of men with a particular set of skills who band together on behalf of stolen and kidnapped women and children. Who are dispensing 'justice' to the thieves and killers who fall in their wake. This story of Julian (The Commander) and Tally who begins as his secretary is a wonderful tale, start to finish. So well written, I could not put it down. And the narration by John Lane and Maxine Mitchell is superb. I consider this a 5 star book and look forward to re-reading at some point in the future. Love the HEA. BRAVO Melanie Moreland!!!

Absolutely incredible!

This series has been amazing......and I can't imagine a world where Melanie Moreland didn't write a book for Julian, because holy smokes - this story was incredible!! From the beginning to the very last word, I just devoured Julian and Tally's story. And listening to John Lane and Maxine Mitchell's narration - it was incredible!! I loved how protective and dominant Julian was - John nailed that part of Julian's character perfectly! He truly believed what he was doing was in Tally's best interest, which did mean hiding things from her. But knowing what she had gone through in her past, all he wanted to do was keep her safe. It obviously took some time for her to truly understand that, as evidenced by her keeping a huge secret from him too. But, oh my goodness......seeing Julian once he discovers her secret......swoon. This guy, I adore him.

Truly, if you haven't picked up this series.....you really need to. It's so good - you won't regret it!

Omg I ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ this book!!

The Commander is part of the Hidden men of justice series, and it focuses on Julian. He is the Commander of the group and we get to learn so much about him in this book. His past, the way he acts as he does, why he's involved, his wife... yeah his wife!!!! She worked at the office as his secretary even though he knew better than to hire her!!

Their whole romance is so sweet, but she has some stuff in her past that ends up biting Julian in the backside since he's been hiding so much from her. Can she ever forgive him??? So she runs away... and the man who can find anyone is unable to find her.

Until one day when an employee spots her at an airport and the gloves come off. Cause not only was she seen at the airport, but she has a baby with her that looks just like Julian!!

I received an audible version of this book and listening to the story was absolutely enthralling. Both narrators, John Lane and Maxine Mitchell, brought the story to life in such a way, I barely wanted to stop listening. I'd previously read this book, but listening to the story made it SO MUCH BETTER!!!! Read or listen to this book!! You won't regret it!!

I received an ALC for my honest review.

a lovely romance with a heartwarming HEA

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The story with a heartbreaking beginning takes us through what feels like a love of a lifetime. This was my first John Lane listen and he adds depth the story, but Maxine Mitchell had a special way of making you feel like your right there with the couple.

Suspenseful and action packed

I'm a romcom girl at heart, but Melanie Moreland's Men of Hidden Justice series has lured me in. In this third standalone, we have the commander himself, Julian, finding love with Tally, the last woman he should hire as his assistant, but the woman he can't resist.

Julian isn't looking for love and doesn't want the distraction from the important work that he does with Hidden Justice. He knows his lifestyle is a hard one, and that his work will always come first. But when Tally walks in looking for a job, he can't resist the beautiful redhead that pushes his button, keeps him organized, and works her way into his heart. Their road to happily ever after is certainly a rocky one, with twists and turns that you just don't see coming.

This book has it all - suspense, emotion, action, romance, humor and love. Moreland has given us a a well-written, all around enjoyable story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Paired with the fantastic narration of John Lane and Maxine Mitchell, the audio is an experience that you don't want to miss.

Absolutely Loved!

Julian has been a vital part of the Men of Hidden Justice, first as a right hand and now as The Commander. Throughout the series, he's been calm and mysterious, so I was excited to read his story.

Julian needs a new assistant. He prefers much older women as their position is actually a cover; A younger woman could potentially become a distraction, which Tally becomes barging through the doors nearly late for an interview. Julian is instantly captivated by Tally and, against his better judgment, breaks all of his carefully concocted rules to be near her. Unfortunately, however, both are hiding secrets that eventually tear them apart. Still, a chance encounter brings Tally back into Julian's life, only this time, Tally has been hiding the biggest secret of all.

I loved Julian. He was an absolute alpha-protective and dominant, and swoony. So swoony. And Tally was strong and sassy, even if always looking over her shoulder. Book three is my favorite of the series so far. Narration by John Lane and Maxine Mitchell was superb.

5 Can They Get Past Their Secrets Stars!!

I’m a HUGE fan of John Lane and Maxine Mitchell’s narration and this book is a prime example of why. They bring to life Julian and Tally in a way that just made me love their story more than I already did. I could feel how reluctant Julian was to express his love for Tally and when Tally was in trouble, Ms. Mitchell literally had me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next scene that I knew was coming since I’d read the book. My heart was beating so hard because I was waiting for Julian to take charge of the situation. And their passion for each other, I felt each and every breath and words of desire. As I was with the book, I was glued to the audiobook as I lived and loved every single moment of this audiobook!


I’m not sure if it’s possible for me to love a couple more than I love Julian and Tally. This H/h are inexplicably drawn to each other for different reasons, but as their story progresses we get to see why the pull is so strong… there’s an innate sense that Julian needs to protect Tally and let me tell you, she needs the protection!!

I loved the push and pull of both of them. Seeing how the trust Tally has in Julian grows and their love blossoming had me fully engaged with their story. There are secrets both are keeping and as much as it hurts, they’re torn apart and I literally wanted to hit him upside the head because it could’ve been avoided!!

The suspense in this book is at a different level than the previous two books in this series bringing back together the original team which wraps this series up so nicely. As sorry as I am to see this series end, the HEA at the end had a huge smile on my face. Everyone is doing such good work but in a way that protects the people they love more than life itself!

Fabulous story!!! Loved Julien!!!

The Commander, an Audiobook by Melanie Moreland is the story of Julien and Tally. Julien’s life is a mass of hidden secrets, lies, and deception. When his secretary leaves, he hires Tally…he knew he shouldn’t….She doesn’t know the truth and she has secrets of her own

OMG!!! I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this story!!! Julien is so sullenly perfect!! Tally is so strong and devoted. The danger lurking is beyond shocking!!!! Absolutely FABULOUS story!!!

This Audiobook was narrated by John Lane and Maxine Mitchell. They both did an excellent job performing this story. The only thing I had trouble with was that John Lane spoke so fast!! I had a little difficulty picking it all up at times. Otherwise, the performances were the best!!

I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this Audiobook.
