Mission: Colton Justice is an all around good book. I was intrigued with the storyline. I was drawn in with the characters.

The chemistry between the characters felt incredibly real. The storyline kept me on edge and demanding more. It took me a little bit to get through, but once I did wanted to find more from this author. This story is all around unique and engaging.

Tess Kincaid had been unable to have a baby so convinced her college friend, Adeline Winters, to act as the egg donor and surrogate Mum for her and her husband, Jeremy. Now, more than three years later, Jeremy has contacted Private Investigator, Adeline, to ask her to investigate just how Tess died as he suspects she was murdered by Livia Knox, a notorious member of the Shadow Creek community who disappeared whilst being transferred between prisons and supposedly died, though no body was ever found. He also wants her to stay in his home to help look after their son, Jamie, and get to know the child. She found it hard enough giving him up the first time. How much harder will it be once she's had the chance to get to know her son? Is Jeremy right, was Tess murdered? Is Jamie also in danger?

This is an emotional, fascinating read, with so many potential perpetrators, scenarios and secrets to be discovered that it is a real page turner. Adeline is a brilliant character, easy to empathise with and stoic despite everything she has gone through. She's also a feisty, determined and independent, gun toting lady who stands no nonsense and needs evidence rather than supposition to sway her point of view. I have to say that I didn't like Jeremy half as much! The dramatic, action-packed events keep the story moving at a fast pace and the ending rectifies everything. Although it is part of a series, I don't believe you need to have read the prior stories to enjoy this one - it works well as a standalone. If you enjoy intriguing romantic suspense with a delightful child involved, you'll probably thoroughly enjoy this!

I requested and received a copy of this novel, via NetGalley. This is my honest review after choosing to read it.

This was another goodie from Harlequin’s Intriuge line. Single dad romance and a second chance in some ways. Mission : Colton Justice satisfied my romantic suspense needs. So the hero and heroine met a few years ago when Adeline was a surrogate Kindcaids – Jeremy and Tess.

Fast forward to the present and now Adeline is a successful PI and Jeremy is a widower needing her help. As he believes something sinister happened to his wife then a simple car accident. There a bit of back story to this . He believes that Tess death has to do with the infamous Livia Colton who has been wrecking havoc on all the couples in this mini series.

Jeremy is a close friend to the Coltos and seen first hand how much damage she has done on the gamily and is worried that he could be affect by her crazy games. He is determined to protect his family and choose Adeline knowing that he wants her help and he wants to give her an opportunity to meet her son.

Jeremy what were you thinking as it opened a can of worms. See Adeline , may of have given up her baby to Jeremy and Tess. She hasn’t forgot that baby She has a mixed emotions about the situation and knows she has to be professional. It’s a second chance for her it becomes apparent as Jeremy is more then keen to let her in Jamie’s life.

Obvious what is going to happen. The lines get blurred as both of them quickly realise that they are attracted to each other but Jamie is the main concern and the case. He was a charming kid that draw attention to himself by his cutiness and you could see why both wanted the best for him. Unfortunately others didn’t and he soon become a key part of the story and the case

A case which kept changing and becoming complicated as the story went on as things came to light relating to Tess and Livia that affected them both. The book quickly becomes action packed as they as they are challenged by the actions of others. What seems a simple case for Justice is anything but as you can gleam from the blurb. IT was a two fold story that entwined well together in the end. This maybe the second last book of the series, but it isn’t too late to start this mini series and met the characters. As it is a charming little town that has a crazy woman running through it. Perfect mix for a romantic suspense mini series from Harlequin .

Sometimes, the past stays in the past. Sometimes, an accident is just an accident. This isn't one of those times. Years since they last met, Jeremy and Adeline cross paths once again after Jeremy suspects his wife's death was no accident. From college girl surrogate to successful PI, Adeline has done a lot of growing up. When she and Jeremy are faced with a race against time to save their son, more than just romantic sparks will fly.

Jeremy is under the impression that his wife's death is no accident and is on a mission to figure out what was really going on . Jeremy enlists Adaline his wife's surrogate mother turned investigator to figure out that truth. Things get complicated when Adaline who accepts his offer for help when she meets him and the baby she gave up to the couple. She will do everything in her power to figure out what happens but it seems someone doesn't want the truth known when a few close calls occur.

This was such a fun mystery to read, I loved that there was plenty going on to keep the readers interesting. For instance the amount of drama that will occur when the surrogate gets to meet the baby she given birth to and seeing that attractive father again. I couldn't help but wondering how things would work out. I loved that there was plenty of close calls and moments where I just couldn't put the book down wondering what would happen next. There was a bit of romance and a couple steamy scene to keep things entertaining. Overall this was a pretty great book I enjoyed it.

As others already stated, this was a confusing read. I had a hard time following with the who & what and gave up a few chapters in. I also hate romance stories in which there is an ex. The fact that H spent most of the book constantly thinking of his wife, I couldn't route for the romance playing out.
