All Fallon wants is to live a little. She’s been sheltered and isolated for too long. She just wants to have a few experiences that a normal 24 year old woman would have. Her parents insist on a bodyguard for her safety. As a wealthy and well known family who have a devastating history, they know Fallon could easily be a target. What the didn’t expect was Justice.

Justice Wallington was an ex fighter of mixed martial arts, a massive, young and attractive man. He was also very good at his job and didn’t take kindly to the implications that he was to remember his “place” keep the young Miss Fallon safe and any slip ups would mean his ass. He had no intention of doing anything but his job, as per usual, a job he took very seriously. However, he also didn’t take into account the innocent, smart, funny sassy girl with a lust for living, how easy it would be to connect with her, or how hard it would be to resist.

Their first outing ended with an attempted robbery. From there they dealt with a stalking ex-boyfriend of Fallon’s, her parents being out of town, a budding relationship, and Fallon unearthing her family secrets. There were so many twists and turns along the way, but the couples connection was undeniable and Justice’s need to protect her was not only because it was his job, but because he wanted her protected.

Hard Justice was an easy book to love. Justice had me wanting to hire a bodyguard, watch some MMA, and go dancing while drunk. Fallon is an easy heroine to root for. You just want to see her happy (even if it is with YOUR man). I loved it!

An excellent release in the second installment of Lori Foster's Body Armour series. Justice Wallington has been hired to guard heiress Fallon Jones. Neither fit the typical stereotype of bodyguard and heiress. Both are down to earth, giving and very attracted to each other from the start. Lori Foster is excellent at drawing well rounded, believable characters with a fast paced storyline that never drags, and this book is no exception to that. The focus on character and story development was well done and the secondary characters were amusing and believable. It's a must read for hardcore Foster fans and new ones alike.

Hard Justice

This book is wonderful and will keep you guess to the end.

Justice a former MMA cage fighter has hung up his gloves to work for Body Armor.agency as a body guard. When assigned to watch over Fallen a woman who has been sheltered for the past five years after tragedy strikes her family. She being a wealthy person herself and having controlling and over protective parents makes a deal with her parents to let her LIVE!!! The only stipulation is she will have protection. Justice believes he will be a glorified babysitter to a spoiled brat. Oh how wrong you can be when he finds Fallen to be sweet, energetic, and over all fun to watch experience life through her eyes. When threats, attraction and emotions get brought into what Justice thought to be an easy assignment will throw everything he thought he knew out the preferable door.

I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Congrats Lori Foster another beautiful written heartfelt book.

I loved Justice and Fallon, they turned out to be such a great couple. Justice is the alpha male protector who captivates your heart with his overwhelming desire to protect Fallon and always keep her safe. Fallon's parents are very protective of her because of a tragic event in her life and Fallon just wants to break free and enjoy life.
This story made me laugh, cry and very anxious for the next book in the series.

Lori Foster always delivers a great story and this one kept me guessing who the bad guy was all the way thru , and it wasn't who I thought it was at all.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Hard Justice (Body Armor, #2) by Lori Foster

I liked this book overall. The writing was strong and the chemistry with the main characters was also strong. Although, I was never really able to be clear as to the reason Fallon needed the bodyguard her parents hired for her, other than them being overprotective. This made it tough for me to engage with the story at the beginning, although there was a shift in focus from her needing the bodyguard to just needing someone there for her as she spreads her wings.

Unfortunately, this and some of the characterization of her left me feeling that Fallon was a little young for Justice. And, while she did grow up, I was left feeling as if I am not totally convinced that this is a relationship that is going to last. They had chemistry, and there was a spark between them, and they do love one another, so I am hopeful. I also liked the nod to this at the ending.

The pacing was strong as were the supporting characters, so this was a book that was worth reading. I am looking forward to the next in the series, both to read the story and also to see how the author handles the evolution of the story told in this one.

I do recommend this book.

***I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.*** Another fantastic story by Lori Foster! The very first book I ever read from her was 'Holding Strong', a part of the Ultimate Series. I cannot express how much LOVE I have for that series as a whole and how this one is coming in a close second. Characters from that series now spinning off into their own allows you to relive that world but see it with a different set of eyes. Justice, is the really good man that just looks the part of the bad boy. Overprotective, immediate attraction and loyalty are all traits immediately felt and expressed to the reader of how he feels about the super cute heroine, Fallon. Not even a quarter of the way into the book and I was hooked. I could not put it down and needed to know every single insight that Lori cared to share. Mystery, intrigue and romance can be found within its pages in this heartwarming adventure. I can't wait til it is published next week. Even though I received an ARC I can't wait to buy it and add it to my shelf of books I love.

I am a big fan on all the MMA fighters. In this series, they are no longer fighters, but are tough and caring all the same. Justice has a strong sense of honor and when he decided that he no longer wanted to be Fallon's bodyguard, he wouldn't let her parents pay for his services. All Fallon wants is a normal life and she sure doesn't want a bodyguard. That is until she saw Justice. Justice's relationship with his mom and grandmother is so cute and Fallon falls right into their family. It is so nice to see the continuation of the friendships among the fighters and how their lives are progressing.

Follow Justice & Fallon as they navigate life! He's a former MMA fighter turned security guard assigned to guard Fallon, who's parents are over protective! Read along while they fall and face obstacles that jump in their way and watch while he tries to win over her parents as well!
Lori wrote a great book here I couldn't put it down! 5 stars for this one don't miss out on a great story! Grab your copy today!

Justice and Fallon had a strong chemistry right off the bat. Even though Fallon has grown with money and very sheltered, she is the most down to earth person Justice has ever met. I loved this book and the little suspense it had with it. I also loved that there wasn't much drama between the two main characters. I love this series and look forward to more.

After tragedy strikes her family, heiress Fallon Wade finds herself living in a very sheltered bubble, all along her parents have thought they were doing what was best for her, but their version of keeping her safe has left her cut off from the outside world. She is a grown woman, and should have a list of life experiences started, but unfortunately her list is nearly non-existent, so she decides to take matters into her own hands for the first time in her life, and see what she has been missing out on. Her parents have their reservations about her little plan, so they propose she put her personal safety in the hands of a capable bodyguard, she thinks they are being ridiculous but figures this might be her only way to experience life on her terms, so she reluctantly agrees. But the minute her new bodyguard shows up on her doorstep she begins to come around to her parents idea of personal safety, Justice Wellington is unlike any man she has ever met, and she feels more than comfortable about putting her life in his hands...

Justice Wellington walked away from the MMA world, and found himself looking for a new career, he needed something that would be just as fulfilling, and give him the opportunity to use some of his well honed skills. So, after watching his friend, and fellow former fighter, make the switch over to becoming a bodyguard he decided it might be a good fit for him too, and the minute he starts he instantly knows he's on the right path! His new job gives him a sense of satisfaction that he thought he could only find in the ring, not to mention it challenges him too... and he's all about facing a challenge head on! Except maybe when the challenge comes in the form of a beautiful pint size client that is determined to test him every step of the way!

Once again Ms. Foster has completely astonished me with her literary talents, this story was truly amazing!! It really had it all, humor fueled banter, heartfelt emotion, blush-worthy romance, and a little intriguing mystery that kept you guessing until the end, and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed every single second of it!! I have been anxiously waiting for the opportunity to get better acquainted with Mr. Wellington, and I have to say he was definitely worth the wait, the gentle giant charmed his way into my heart the minute he walked onto the page! If you are looking for a heartwarming and suspenseful read to settle down with, I highly suggest you give this one a try, Ms. Foster's touching story is sure to score a special place in your heart!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this title.

*thank you to the author and the publisher for providing an arc*


The Body Armor series just keeps getting better and better. The men who are part of Body Armor security are hot, sexy, and oh so addictive!!!! I fell for Justice in the first book and I was not disappointed with his story! What I love most about this series is, she introduces the reader to characters from her other series in such a way that if you haven't read them yet, you are wanting to read them. And if you have read that series, you feel like you are catching up with old friends

Justice is a fighter, and even though he loves the sport he knows he needs something else. He becomes a bodyguard for the Body Armor agency and he is about to meet his match when he is introduced to Fallon Wade.

Fallon has been sheltered most of her life and now she is ready to spread her wings and gain some independence. She talks her parents into getting her a bodyguard so that she can experience everyday normal things but still be watched without her parents worrying. When Justice walks in, Fallon is not prepared for what feelings he brings with him.

As Justice and Fallon spend more time together, they realize that the attraction between them is electric and they both can't wait to see what in store for them. But they will have to face some challenges along the way that could change everything.

Fallon has a secret that sent her first admirer packing without a second glance. Is she ready to take a leap of faith with Justice or will old insecurities come back? And can Justice keep his feelings for Fallon in check, especially because she is an assignment or will she break down his barriers and give them both the chance they deserve?

Get ready for the next installment of the Body Armor series!

I always know that when it comes to Lori Foster, she will give you a great story hands down. What I love about Hard Justice is that not only do we fall for Fallon and Justice, but we get to see a few of the characters from the past ( other books and different series ). I have kept up with Lori's fight series and thrilled that they have not been forgotten once their stories ended.

Fallon is a very innocent but special lady. Before finding out what she has been hiding, I knew that she had a sheltered life before. When Justice was given 30 days to be her body guard he had that same gut feeling too. Oh the chemistry with the sexy scenes in this book is off the charts good! When Fallon's ex comes around, you find her vulnerable and worried that she will make the same mistakes. In book one, I had a different perception of Justice because I think I was caught up with Leese since day one. Justice is protective, strong, a mountain of muscle, and just down right sexy! I am so glad I got to spend more time with him <3.

Hard Justice has drama, suspense, and keeps you on your toes in every page. When I read this book, I never wanted to put it down. I would always find a way to steal a page or two to read and it would end up being a whole chapter. If I could give more than 5 stars for the rating, I would give it a 10!

Another great book by Lori Foster. This is the story of Justice, a former MMA fighter turned bodyguard, and Fallon, a sheltered rich girl looking for adventure. Throw in an ex-boyfriend and bad guys looking for a fight and you've got a great read. I recommend this book. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Hard Justice by Lori Foster was a sweet and interesting story about two very different people who suddenly find themselves thrown together. Forbidden by circumstances but with humor and suspense.

Justice Wallington is an MMA fighter turned bodyguard. He is fun and easy going, but is committed to protecting his clients, even when she is a beautiful heiress that stirs desires he should not have. Her innocence brings out his protectiveness and need to make her happy.

Fallon Wade is a sweet and innocent heiress. She has been sheltered due to a family tragedy but longs for independence. She wants to be able to do what others do, like go dancing and meet people. Finally convincing her parents to let go a little, they agree to hire a bodyguard that can fit while she experiences life. But she did not expect foreboding Justice.

You could feel the chemistry between Justice and Fallon and it continued to grow as they spend time together. But she is his client and he cannot forget that. And Fallon has secrets and insecurities she is hiding. Could she learn to trust Justice? And when things turn dangerous, Justice knows he will do anything to protect Fallon.

I found Hard Justice to be humorous, heartbreaking and suspenseful. Enough to keep a reader interested and only giving us clues to where the danger is coming from.

This is the second book of Ms Foster’s new series, Body Armor, but know it’ss a stand alone .
In this one, our main characters are Justice and Fallon. Justice is a MMA fighter who has retired and now works as a bodyguard for Body Armor. He is hired to protect Fallon. Fallon is a young wealthy woman that due to a tragedy in her past, has been sheltered, has little self esteem and has not experienced life. When her boyfriend shatters her by his reaction, to her injuries she closes up even more. Justice is taken by the young woman and is determined to help her expand her wings. All this while it seems someone is trying to hurt her. He is determined to protect her with his life. I loved his character. He was strong, but also a sweet, and caring man.
It’s an entertaining story, full of hunky fighters, chemistry between the characters and action. But it’s also a story about how injuries , guilty feelings, over-protective people, and low self-esteem, can affect the person experiencing them. And how love, and understanding, can heal us to no end.
Another great story by this talented author. I am looking forward to more stories in this series.
I was gifted this book by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

It has been a long time since I read a book by Lori Foster. About 5 years ago I devoured all the SBC books that she had and then started reading other things. When I saw this book and read the blurb, I knew I had to read it. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed and I remembered why I enjoyed her writing so much! This book was the perfect mix of suspesnse, sexy scenes and hot alpha men.
This book is number 2 in the Body Armor Series ( it is not necessary to read one, which I didn’t but I am certainly going back to read the first one in the series). This book is about Justice and Fallon. Justice is the strong proactive former MMA fighter turned bodyguard. For someone who was in such a rough field of worker, one would think he would be quite broody, but let me tell you he is oh so sweet.
Fallon is innocent and young, has been very sheltered, but she is now ready to break away from the shell. For someone so young, she has also experienced quite a bit of loss and darkness in her life.
I loved the chemistry between Fallon and Justice. They were the perfect match for each other and I loved all the secondary characters. I cannot wait to see who comes up next in this series. 5 stars for a great read!

Another winner from Lori Foster! Hard Justice was #2 in the series and Justice & Fallon's story. Sweet, sexy, funny, a little action... At that you expect from Ms. Foster and more! I'm seriously loving these characters and how they interact with each other. Cameos from the Ultimate & Love Undercover gangs, and secondary characters that you KNOW will be featured in future books. I do believe Miles and Brand are next. Can't wait for the next one!

A great continuation of the Body Guard Series! We got to meet Justice in the first book of this series (if you didn’t already know him from the MMA series). In the beginning of the book, he joins his fellow former fighting buddy Leese at the Body Armor agency. His assignment: act as bodyguard to Fallon. Fallon is a very interesting and sweet character. Her background includes a tragedy that led her parents being so over protectively that she is terribly naïve about some things, and Justice is hired to guard her while she begins to spread her wings. Their relationship, as it develops through the book, unfolds so beautifully that it was hard to leave them at the end of the book. As expected, you get to see your faves from the MMA series in this story as well (including attending a bout), and Ms. Foster did a great job describing the scene from Fallon’s eyes as a newcomer to the sport. One interesting character that we met first in Under Pressure is Sahara Silver, who owns the Body Armor agency. She developed a friendship with Justice and as a reader I loved getting to see her stand behind her agent! Can’t wait to see whose story we will see next … maybe Miles and a certain someone who can’t keep her eyes off him!!

This is the second book in the Body Armor series and I think I like it even more than the first! In book one we get broody, alpha Leese. Book two is still a tough protective body guard with Justice, but he has an easy going fun loving side that is irresistible!

Fallon is so sweet and innocent--not necessarily by choice--and she is more than willing to try and break out of that mold. Justice technically works for her father, but he is drawn to Fallon and wants to make her happy. If she gets to experience some more of the world outside her shelter, then he is happy to help.

This one has some great humor in it, a bit of heartbreak with Fallon's past and of course some suspense to keep the reader on their toes. Add in the chemistry between Justice and Fallon and we have a winner! Loved this one! Here's to hoping the series continues to blossom from here!

“Hard Justice” is book 2 of Lori Foster’s bodyguard series, Body Armor and features former MMA fighter Justice Wallington and sheltered-from-life Fallon Wade.

Fallon’s parents, having lost their eldest daughter in a fire, are overly protective of Fallon and hire the Body Armor agency – and Justice – to protect Fallon as she fulfills her wish to spread her wings and get out into the world.
The mystery-suspense element comes into play when someone is after either Fallon or Justice or maybe after both. On the romance side of the story, the “intimate” scenes between Justice and Fallon are definitely blush-worthy.

We also meet a new MMA fighter Tom “Tomahawk” Nelson and are made to wonder if he’s a bad guy or a good guy or a bit of both and will he have a chance at redemption like Leese Phillips (“Holding Strong”, “Under Pressure”).
Though a romance, my favorite scenes in this book are with the guys from previous books. Ms. Foster opens up her author toolbox to keep readers interested in what’s coming up next by having a brief scene with Miles and Maxi.

“Hard Justice” has great scenes – Stack’s fight, the way the guys come together, and Justice’s mother and grandmother – and a few, for me, that teetered on the edge of believability.
Overall, this addition to the Body Armor series is a story that Ms. Foster’s fans will enjoy.
