This is NOT a book, I listened to it and realized it was just a snippet of an actual story, I've since gone and obtained all of them, There was enough to whet one's appetite here, A bit of background that's missing from previous books perhaps, But nothing so required outside of someone living in a house with a child, That was not explained.
The story kept moving, This was more of a few introductory chapters with a little story,


I definitely enjoyed the first installment, I was sucked in enough that I am looking forward to finishing out the series to see what happened next, I do have some mixed feelings about not having read the first series involving these characters, I think readers would benefit from reading the first set before this one, In the recaps, there are some spoilers that I fear might ruin things if I go back and read series one after this one.
At the same time, the recaps did allow me to see more into the characters to get a feel for them in this installment.
I never really felt like I was missing anything that took away from my enjoyment,

I look forward to reading the rest of the installments, I want to know who is bombing

New York City and why, If you are into a series book full of mystery this is for you, It starts off with a FBI agent Lara Grant joining a Crisis Management Unit, She has just come out of the safe house after bringing the Moretti gang to justice, But to her surprise and shock they have come back to extract revenge on her, The book ends in cliffhanger and you have to read the whole series to finish the story of Lara Grant and her partner Nick Delano who is dealing with his own truth issues
Overall a good , fast read leaving you with a lot of questions in the end.



You can read more about this and other book reviews on my blog sitelink wordpress. com/ Tough Justice: Exposed Part/by Carla Cassidy is aHarlequin Special Release publication,

I have always enjoyed serials, and wish there were more of them out there, With the busy lives many of you live, it can be a challenge to fit reading into your routine, Serials are a great way to incorporate reading into a tight schedule, plus, I love how each installment leaves you hotly anticipating the next story in the series, which encourages people to continue reading, whereas a novel can feel too daunting at times, and are easily abandoned.
So, I think this is a great idea and its a fun way to spice things up a little,

I am looking forward to the next installment and cant wait to find out what happens next, Could there eventually be a little romance between Lara and Nick Will Lara stop the Morettis before they murder again Stay tuned!

I normally don't do serials since I hate getting snippets of stories doled out at a snail's pace can you say impatient but since these were all out and they were done by different authors, I was curious.


This series started out with a bang, As I was reading, I didn't think I'd get into Laura's character but as the book went on and it was short I found myself rooting for her.
When the end came and it ended with a "bang" and a cliffie I have the next one YES! I was totally captivated and I have to know what happens next.
If you try this one and it is free at the time of writing the review get the second book, You don't want to be left hanging! : It was a good start to this serial, Honestly, I picked this book up for two reasons at first:

I was on Scribd, and it was one of the handful of audiobooks I had available

I saw who the audiobook narrator was.
And knew Id love it, She narrated This Savage So g, and loved her in it!

So I dived in, And fell in love. I honestly dont read much outside of YA Fantasy, so this was kinda like a breath of fresh air, The only thing I dont like That there are many books in the series, and now Im gonna have to read them all This is the first instalment in a gripping thriller which made me want to keep turning the pages to find out what was going on.
Lara is a fab character in some ways but she isn't to her partner and for that I want to shake her, I love Cass and her attitude is great despite what her life has brought her so far, I'm looking forward to reading more,

This is the first book in a series oftitles around a FBI investigation in New York City, A new team has been put together to tackle certain cases but before they can even begin an older case, thought resolved returns to haunt them and in particular Special Agent Lara Grant.
She was instrumental in assisting the arrest and imprisonment of the major players in the Moretti crime syndicate,
However, like a many headed hydra the organisation seems to be active and as deadly as ever, Moretti seems to be orchestrating his former crime ring from within prison and rather than being destroyed by Lara's undercover efforts he is out for revenge on her betrayal including everything she holds dear.

The eight short stories in this Tough Justice series have been written by a different author each time, they have takenepisodes each so it will be interesting to see how the collaboration works.

This first one is Exposed by Carla Cassidy who will return for the final instalment, With the writing being compact and factural, with fleshed out characters like TV scriptwriting this project will work up to a point but I feel each writer will have to work to a formula to ensure they are seemless.
Time will tell, it is certainly good to be in it from the start and I did enjoy the scene setting in this first thriller.

I love a good ledge hugger and potential jumper and this scenario kicks off the book in dramatic style, Lara perhaps should have been worried when the would be suicide asked for her by name,
The danger of such a series is that everyone needs to buy into it as future stories on Kindle arep meaning an outlay potentially of.
. I remember buying magazines in my childhood with free gifts at the start and reduced prices to suck you in, Perhaps today something about the solar system with weekly parts to build the space station, What you fail to understand at the outset is there areweekly copies to collect and you'll end up paying more to build your copy of the space station that the actual one cost!
It is frustrating therefore to be caught on this hook ready to be reeled in at the cost of.
but as a project, I personally believe it could be worth it and should be supported for this interesting literary enterprise, I hope part of the fun will be seeing if there are any discernable differences with each author's approach,
Lara Grant spent several years in deep undercover to bring down the Moretti syndicate, Her undercover work was so successful that she then had to spend a year in a safe house to protect her life, She's just returned to work in the FBI when she's called out to talk to a man on a ledge, A man that asked for her by name, A man she doesn't know, After talking this criminal off the ledge, she escorts him from the building only to have him killed in front of her by a sniper.
Now the entire world, including the Moretti's, know that Lara is back at work, Lara begins work with her team of FBI agents to try and determine what link, if any, the deceased has to the Moretti syndicate.
The more they dig, the more questions are raised, When an innocent jogger is found murdered in the park, it becomes clear that these crimes are linked not only to the Moretti's but to Lara.
Can the FBI determine who is behind these crimes before another crime occurs Is Lara a target

Tough Justice: Exposed was an incredibly quick read, not just because of its length, but because it is a fastpaced read.
The reader gradually gets to know Lara as the investigations begin, and she is just as enigmatic as the crimes being committed, If you enjoy fastpaced suspense thrillers, then you'll definitely want to add Tough Justice: Exposed to your reading list, Tough Justice: Exposed is the first book in the Tough Justice series, Each book will be written by a different author, but feature the same characters and story, I look forward to reading the next seven installments and finding out what happens next,
Action packed! Received the ebox set for free as a Romance Insider panelist from Hallmark/Avon while participating in surveys on romance books.
This is bookwere you are introduced to Lara and FBI undercover agent who put away an organized crime boss and went underground for a year.
A child abductor is murdered and a woman in Central Park where the calling card of the murderer leads back to the crime boss.
Lara, her new team and partner race to find clues to stop the madness, Lara disguises herself and takes painstaking steps to make sure she is not followed subway, bus, rental from airport to upstate NY to make sure a situation is secure.
When she arrives home, the situation she thought was secure as the title states was just exposed, which leads to the cliff hanger on book.
This is part one of the new novel, Tough Justice it was fast paced, full of detail and I loved it I have preordered the second instalment already and can't wait for it to be delivered.
Its looking to be a thrilling read and one I'm really looking forward too, I have read several of Carla Cassidy's books, mainly her MYSTERY/SUSPENSE and ROMANTIC SUSPENSE, In this series ofparts, featuring FBI Agent Lara Grant, Carla shares the writing experience with Carol Erickson, Gail Barrett, and Tyler Anne Snell.
Each of them have writtenbooks in this series,

This book introduces Lara Grant and focuses on her past, She spent a year under cover and brought down a major mafia drug trafficker, She then went into Witness Protection until all members of the gang were tried, convicted, and locked away for good, Or were they . .

Lara has barely met her new partner and the rest of the team when she's called out, A man is on a ledge, ready to jump, but asks for Lara by name, After several hours of trying to talk him down, he confesses to the killing of a young girl, and lets himself be talked off the ledge.


Found in his possession is a stamp and ink pad, The stamp is a replica of a tattoo that the mafia used to mark their 'possessions', It will remain a question as a sniper ends his life,

And then a young woman with the same name as Lara is murdered, Now the chase is on to see where this threat is coming from, .

This was a short story, and a quick, easy read, The book focuses on Lara, her secrets, her trust issues, She is well fleshed out and I think she will make a very good series character, Her new partner, Nick Delano, has a past and secrets of his own, I look forward to learning much more about him,

I gave itstars, . . I like the story and I look forward to see where it goes from here,
