When Justice Comes is the third and final book in the Tupelo Grove series. I have not read the previous books and was able to follow the characters but if you can please dive in at the beginning of the series it will be worth it. This book is focusing on the resolution of situations that were further developed in the previous books and this one wraps them up. Hez and Savannah have been doing battle with every evil human being their small town and families can muster up. It cost them their marriage, sibling, child, business, parents. In this installation, they are trying to make right for all the wrong done by their families, save the University and protect it from her father, adopt her nephew and protect him from his grandfather and heal the many rifts within their families. So much packed into one book. Hez and Savannah—once married, then divorced, now reunited—are preparing for their second wedding while navigating the heart-wrenching process of adopting their ten-year-old nephew, Simon. Following the death of Savannah’s sister, her wish for Savannah to raise Simon is crystal clear. But that path is anything but smooth. Old family rivalries, buried secrets, and criminal entanglements resurface, threatening to derail the adoption and tear apart what Hez and Savannah have fought so hard to rebuild. The stakes are high, the emotions raw, and the suspense relentless. Themes of forgiveness as well as staying strong in the face of adversity and falling back on your faith. Many thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity.

This one was so good! That characters are real and raw. There was family drama, suspense, romance…this one is IT. I have loved each one of the books in this saga and this one delivered. Solid ending and great storyline. I won’t say too much because I don’t want to give the story away, but the authors took a few different storylines and meshed them together well and gave us all the answers we needed. So good. The narration was well done as well!

Oh my goodness! This book nailed it! I was unable to stop listening to this book! The characters were strong and the intrigue was intense! The narration was awesome and I had no idea how it was all going to come together! Loved it!

Thank you to NetGalley and the authors for this book! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Readers of Colleen Coble must read this series!

This is a great wrap up to the series - clears up so much! Keeps you guessing what will happen next!

Really enjoyed the audiobook - the narrator did an excellent job of changing her voice for each character and adding just the right amount of emotion.

Hate that the series is over - will miss this one!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishing team for the opportunity to read and listen to this title in advance of its release.

Another hit from Colleen Coble! I love reading stories that I am also comfortable with my teen reading as well. I will say, I am comfortable allowing my younger preteen to read many Colleen Coble books, but this series we will wait until she is a bit older on this one due to the subject nature.

I love how themes of mystery, murder, and God are flawlessly intertwined creating an amazing story world. I also love the locations chosen for each series and this one is no different! Hearing so many Baldwin County, AL references is so fun as a girl from the South!

If you are looking for an exciting story full of twists and turns, mature romance, and reminders of God’s faithfulness, you are in the right spot!

The narration also greatly added to the story, making an already amazing story even better!

A pulse-pounding conclusion to the Tupelo Grove series. Savannah and Hez are taken through the wringer, quite literally, in an action based suspenseful experience that never really slows down until the final resolution brings it to a stop. Despite this, it is full of romance that reminds the reader of the power of love, while equally showing the ugliness of sin that results when power and revenge are pursued in earnest. I love the bond between Savannah and Hez and the hope of second chances. There is a thread of redemption woven throughout and a beautiful reminder that love does win. It was hard to watch Simon go through the confusion of finding his family and his place, but seeing Savannah and Hex fight for him sent a powerful message as well. I am sad to see the series wrap up as I have loved these characters but am very appreciative of the romantic suspense that continually points back to the Light and Truth.
I also received the privilege of listening to the audiobook version which was narrated wonderfully. Accents, pace, and cadence were captured perfectly to bring the story to life!
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley, and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

When Justice Comes is the final book in the Tupelo Grove Trilogy. I thought about speeding up the narration as I untangled this complicated web of a romantic and suspenseful mystery, but I stuck with the smooth cadence of the narrator. The sentimental part of me loved seeing a flash of characters from the author's Pelican Harbor and Sanctuary series so I'm hopeful that we haven't seen the last of Savannah, Hez and Simon. I think Augusta deserves her own book. I'm sorry to see this series end because the combination of intense drama and unending faith in the power of God leads to high quality story telling.

The narration was fantastic, as always adding another rich dimension to this story. There’s quite a bit about legal battles in this story and they were intense. I love the characters of Savannah, Hez and Simon. The setting is amazing as well. The action was fast paced and tense. Well written. I enjoyed the entire series. Highly recommend.

I was blessed with an ARC and ALC. Thank you, NetGalley. The opinions expressed are my own and unbiased. An amazing Christian fiction suspense writing duo. I would love to seem then write another series together.

I am such a fan of this writing duo and I have read their writing compilations and can honestly say, they had me hooked from the get go! I listened to this story and the narration is fantastic. The storyline has come to its completion, and we see all the loose ends get tied up in a tightly written bow. There is a lot of action, suspense, and twists along the way that makes this book an up all nighter. I highly recommend to all action/suspense/romance lovers!
*I was given a copy of this book by the publisher, and this is my honest opinion.

I was so excited to get an advanced copy of this book as I devoured the first two in the series and couldn't wait to find out what happens to all of the characters. From the first chapter, I was hooked on this book.
The twists and turns kept me guessing until the very end! I like that all of the storylines had a satisfying (though not always expected) conclusion. The characters of this series have such great depth and I found myself moved by so many of their stories.
As the third part of the series, this book delved more into the histories of the various characters as well as moving the story forward. Faith played a more prominent role as well, which was enjoyable.
Overall, it was another great book from Colleen Coble! Love!!!

The duo does it again!

As an avid Colleen Coble fan I wasn't sure how her books would be when she first teamed up with author, Rick Acker. I worried for nothing! The two are a dynamic team and play to each's strengths.

This is book #3 in the Tupelo Grove series and Hez and Savannah are so close to putting their life back together when the past and other forces will stop at nothing to tear them apart. This series has been an amazing ride and one you will want to read in order, for sure.

Can all the buried secrets be found in time for Hez and Savannah to have their happy ending and can they save their nephew from a fate that will only be one of nightmares? You will not regret this journey - you will however, if you never start.

When Justice Comes AUDIO by Colleen Coble and Rick Ackerman is the third in the series, but I listened as a stand-alone and it held up just fine. It takes place in a small Southern town and centers around Hezekiah “Hez” Webster and his former wife and current fiancee, Savannah. Their split had come after the drowning of their daughter, which had, at least in part, been Hez’ fault. He was supposed to be watching her. They had worked through the pain and were stronger than ever. Hez is a lawyer working for a justice project and Savannah is the local college’s president. There is a complicated history and feud between several families and it does nothing but escalate. Savannah’s sister had been killed in an accident and in her will had requested that Savannah raise her son, Simon. They were attempting to adopt him when Simon’s maternal grandfather countered with his own adoption request. It was really a nasty mess, full of criminals and danger, especially to Hez and Savannah.

Terrific characters, Hez and Savannah really are solid as they make discoveries that could break the strongest human heart. The plot is full of murder, betrayal, kidnapping, and general threats. It still managed to maintain a positive overall demeanor. There was plenty of activity, moving quickly from one crisis to the next. I am sorry I missed the first two books.

The name of the reader is not listed but she was good. She kept her cool in the worst moments rather than becoming hysterical. She was an excellent choice.

I was invited to listen to When Justice Comes by Thomas Nelson and Zondervan Fiction Audio. All thoughts and opinions are mine. #Netgalley #ThomasNelson #ZondercanFictionAudio #ColleenCoble #RickAckerman #WhenJusticeComes

Once again Coble and Acker knock it out of the park with a suspensful who dunnit that keeps you on your toes until the very end. I didn’t realize it as I started this book, but this is the third in the series and picks up seamlessly where the second book left on. There were times I felt my blood boil and even had to set the book down at one point and come back because the characters were brought to life so well! I'd say that makes a book an A+ experience!

Wow! Talk about a roller coaster ride of emotions this book puts you through. You literally get sucked into the story and experience the highs and lows along side the characters, as they experience a long held grudge plot to rival all others and I loved every minute. This is the third book in the series and if like me you have only just joined don't worry it is so well written that I had no problems catching up and it does work as a standalone, however it did leave me asking how did I miss this series and were can I catch up. I think even having read this book and knowing how it turns out I would still like to go back to the beginning and experience it for myself, especially as I think it they are like this book then a lot happens. I loved the characters you were supposed to love like Simon, Savannah and Hez and my heart sunk every time the bad guys came out on top. The story was mostly about a custody battle for Simon but with revenge, betrayal, kidnapping, family and murder involved it was so much more. Definitely an author I will be reading a lot more of.

Jess might have died and wanted her son to be raised by her half sister Savannah but her father has something to say about that. He is taking them to court to get his grandson back. The Legare -Willard feud has been going on for years but now it threatens Savannah and Hez's happiness. Can they make peace and do right by Simon? Simon's father and even Savannah's own father only want what Simon's trust find can provide for them but with the Willard's it's something more and something a lot more dangers. Do they just want revenge on a Legare family member? If so will Simon be the one to pay the price?.
I really enjoyed the narrator. She did some good voices for the characters, I especially loved Simon's. She gave him a really good accent and higher voice, making him sound just like he was a young boy caught up in all the trouble.
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

What a gripping end to the trilogy of books by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker. I’ve read all three books in the Tupelo Grove series. This series was my first time reading these authors. The series was definitely full of interesting characters and drama all throughout. The final book”When Justice Comes” is probably my favorite book in the series.

In this final book the characters, Savannah and Hez endure strife and conflict in the midst of rebuilding their relationship leading up to their marriage. The amount of suspense and surprise is engaging while the ultimate them of justice and forgiveness is prominent. I enjoyed the quality and content so well done in the audiobook version. It only made the suspense and action feel more intense.

I received this audio book as an advanced reader copy(ARC). Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for the opportunity to listen to this audiobook version prior to it release on March 3rd. The opinion here is my own honest review.

When Justice Comes is the conclusion of the three book series in the Tupelo Grove series. I do recommended reading the series in order, but feel free to live your live in chaos and jump in the middle. But you may miss some things.

This story brings a custody battle to the forefront. Hez and Savannah get ready to fight the Willard family for custody of her nephew, Simon. But danger lurks on every page, and there are a myriad of possible suspects. Who has the most to gain from silencing Hez and gaining Simon's trust?

I'm convinced Colleen Coble and Rick Acker write in their own genre! This to me is a total family drama more than a romantic suspense, although there's plenty of suspense to go around. Coble dives deep into family dynamics while Acker lends his legal knowledge to the plot. With two feuding families, an untrustworthy father, a blackmail scheme, dealing with loss, and the custody dispute, the characters deal with all the emotional fallout. I love the entire series! It's kept me hooked, and I love the collaboration between Coble's family drama style and Acker's legal thriller. It's a nice mix. I'm a little sad the series is ending. 

I listened to the audiobook and it's fantastic. Great narration and it definitely adds to the story to listen to it. 

I received an ebook review copy of this book through NetGalley. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Thank You Netgalley, Thomas Nelson, Colleen Coble and Rick Acker for the ALC in exchange for my honest opinion. This is the third book in the Tupelo Grove series and although you should read all of them in order, I also feel like if you picked this book up and read it by accident you would learn everything you need to know, I did have every emotion reading this book. Frustration, shock, heartbreak, anger, sympathy, all of it and I loved it. I do not like kids and violence in any scenario, but it had to be as it completed the story. I did enjoy the narrator Karen Peakes and would listen to other audiobooks narrated by her. I would also seek out these authors for future reads. Great finally to the Tupelo Grove series

When Justice Comes by Collen Coble and Rick Acker
This was so awesome! Suspense with every page! I really couldn’t put it down.
In this third and final novel of the Tupelo Grove series, Hez and Savannah find trouble around every turn. I enjoyed this because not every couple survives the loss of a child. They rediscover their love and attempt to rewrite their story in the midst of threats, danger, family secrets, and lies. They encounter darkness in every direction. Dark family secrets with deadly vendettas almost tear them apart.
Their nephew, Simon, becomes a pawn when the couple files for adoption and two other petitioners come forward. They endure a harrowing experience in family court.
There are so many things happening with so much suspense, you will stay up late reading!
I loved this because it made me feel with the characters. I was frustrated, angry, sad, and happy. That means I truly connected with the characters and the story. There is nothing better for a reader than being so immersed in a story that you laugh, cry, and scream with the characters.
I absolutely love the dogs! Marley and Cody are wonderful! Cody’s description just made me laugh out loud. I think it’s important to carry pets through a story if they are introduced as characters. The authors did a splendid job with this aspect.
The characters are well developed and very relatable.
Some interesting quotes:
“He had come to the end of the mission he set himself-really the end of his life- and he finally gripped the prize in his hands. But somehow, he held only ashes.” ( - this just spoke to me on several levels.)
“All your grades matter for college, and you’ll use math the rest of your life.” (As a parent I have used something similar.)
“She still wasn’t sure what breed to call Cody with his Chihuahua legs, oversized Great Dane ears, and greyhound body, His crooked Chesapeake Bay retriever tail added to his comical appearance.” (This made me love Cody even more!)
I have really enjoyed the whole series. Colleen and Rick did a phenomenal job co-writing; it was seamless to the reader!
I was privileged to have the ability to review both formats of the book. The narration on the audiobook was superb! The individual voices given to the characters further developed them even more than the writing. It gave them depth and personality beyond the page. 5+/5⭐
I would like to Thank Colleen Coble, Rick Acker, Thomas Nielson, and NetGalley for the opportunity to review an ARC of both the audiobook and the e-book of this novel. The opinions expressed here are my own.

What a good suspenseful story. I was captivated the whole time. I loved how the different storylines were woven together. I really appreciate the authors writing style. To see my full review, you can see my GoodReads review by the link below

The finale of the Tupelo Grove series featuring Savannah and Hez. These two have been through some of the most difficult times and situations imaginable. The couple has remained true to their faith throughout the series. In this final chapter of their story, the two face corrupt family, an uphill adoption battle and long buried secrets from the past. This was a proper conclusion to the story, very fast paced and enjoyable.

Karen Peakes was fantastic.

Thank you Thomas Nelson Fiction/ HarperCollins Christian Publishing for the complimentary review copy.

Great Christian mystery with romance and family drama.

This story is about two powerful families that have feuded for years in the same small college town. These two families have experienced lots of drama causing members to be in prison and the cemetery. There are so many characters in the book that you really like and want them to win in the end and the bad guys are really bad guys.

The audiobook was amazing and the narrator, Karen Peakes- helped build the suspense and made the story come to life. Karen Peakes adds so much to the story creating very tense moments with her timing and pauses while telling the story.

When Justice Comes is an intricately woven resolution to the Tupelo Grove series! Colleen Coble and Rick Acker blend the perfect amount of legal suspense, action, love, and faith in this book. It's a hard fought, satisfying victory for our beloved main characters, Savannah and Hez. Narration was top notch as always, and I adore the voice Karen does for Hez!!!

I am so sad to see this series come to an end! So many plot twists, my mouth dropped opened more than once. But finally, Hez and Savannah get their happily ever after fighting evil, and after I wanted to strangle Hez myself a few times. Full of all kinds of ups and downs, it was better than any rollercoaster, I'd ever ridden.
The narrator is amazing!

Hez and Savannahs fight to happiness with their nephew just does not seem to come. The Willard family is still out to hang their guts and bring them down. Its a custody battle, people are falling dead, Hez is getting into trouble and there seems to be many forces at play.

A high octane book, its a race against time to get all the threads resolved and the loose ends tied, before Savannah and Hez can get their happily ever after.

A well done book and the narration was excellent.
