About this listen

Men of Hidden Justice
Because love can bleed into the darkest heart

Terrified and on the run, I was lost.
He found me.
I witnessed his crime and he gave me a choice.
Marriage or death.
I never expected to love him.
But the choices were never really mine.
Could this avenging angel of death ever love me back?
His touch consumed me.
Did my heart stand a chance?

intense

this story is intense and it's riveting in other words you absolutely don't want to stop listening to it. From the very beginning You're fascinated about what is happening and what is going on The male character in this he has he is definitely intense very dangerous Vive going and You kind of fall for him pretty quickly If you like those Alpha Dangerous. female character in the beginning she feels hopeless even when she first meets him she feels like there's nothing left for her. he just kind of takes her in and the story goes from there this definitely story flows well keeps moving it's just a great story I recommend it the narrators do a fantastic job.

Very good!

Insta love with suspense. I love these narrators - they sold me on this book. I liked the story, but it wasn’t as riveting as we were led to believe. It really only got suspenseful at the end, imo. The FMC was protected throughout the book, but there was only an implied threat, we weren’t privy to any until the end. I actually would go on to the next book in the series though, even though this book wasn’t all action. I liked the structure and how fast the love story was. I’m looking forward to the next story!

The character of the people

The story was unexpected and unique. I would recommend it to friends. There was a lot of sex involved. But then most people just beginning their relationship tend to do that.

Riveting

I'm pretty sure if you look up dark and swoony hero in the dictionary, there will be a picture of Matteo because, holy moly, is he swoony. He's not perfect by any means, but his flaws only endeared him to me that much more. He's a little over the top in his over-protectiveness, but every woman should have a man who loves her like Matteo loves Evie. Of course, it's reciprocated, and they are scorching hot together. But this one isn't all romance - we can't forget the suspense part of this romantic suspense. Matteo's mission (because that kind of dedication is more than a job) is certainly a noble one. Not everything is strictly above board, and Matteo has no problem taking justice into his own hands, but that justice doesn't come without the possibility of repercussions. All of that danger leads to some edge of your seat, hold your breath scenes that are done as superbly as Melanie Moreland does every scene in every book I've read by her. I really can't gush enough about this book. All of it - the romance, the steamy goodness, the drama, the suspense - all of it, every word kept me riveted, and I can't recommend it enough. I'm already anxiously waiting for Second-in-Command, and I've just gotta say that Melanie has her work cut out for her because she's set the bar pretty high with Matteo and Evie.
That's what I had to say after reading The Boss and to be honest, I didn't think it could get any better. I was wrong. John Lane and Maxine Mitchell take it to the next level. Even though I knew what was going to happen, every sexy scene, every edge of my seat bit of action and intrigue, I was just as caught up in it all as I was the first time I experienced this fantastic couple and the many things that make them who they are. If you're looking for an audiobook you can listen to over and over, this is one to have because Matteo and Evie are one of those couples you just can't get enough of.

EPIC Audiobook!!!

I was hooked from the very beginning to the very end of Matteo and Evie's story! Their journey reeled me in with the right amount of darkness, sexiness, and swoon-worthy moments. I always love the narrating duo of Maxine Mitchell and John Lane, they've never steered me wrong. I'm so excited to listen to the next instalment in the Men of Hidden Justice series. The Boss by Melanie Moreland is an EPIC listen that will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!

4.25 Stars!

Having first picked up The Boss when it released i've been looking so forward to getting back into the Men of Hidden Justice world with this audiobook! I started listening it to and was pulled back in very quickly. I really enjoyed this listen!

Having listened to both Maxine Mitchell and John Lane before i couldn't wait to get more of their narration with this first installment! These two were so great with their narrating! I was so happy with what both of them brought to this story as well as it's characters Evelyn and Matteo.

Evelyn and Matteo's journey hooked me once again! I got pulled right back into the Men of Hidden Justice world! I loved getting back into this world, digging deeper with these characters, and how I felt so much throughout! It definitely keeps you on your toes as well!

With The Boss, Ms.Moreland has created such a great story that kept me glued to my earbuds! I can't wait to listen to the second installment, Second-In-Command! I am so looking forward to listening to more of Maxine and John's narration in the near future!

Another great listen from Melanie Moreland

I’ve not listened to a book I haven’t loved from her. She creates a real story with great characters, instead of having one page of story and the rest full of angst, (I love you but I can’t…)

AND I would listen to John Lane read the phone book for 6 hours and still be in a dreamy fog. 😜

Matteo was great!

Even though Matteo was a hard@ss, he was great. From when Evie witnessed him commit a crime, her life changed for the better. It was kind of like Robin Hood. He was tough on Evie for her own protection in the rough world he was in but he ends up really loving her. There is an evil villain who tries to get to him through Evie. This book had a really nice ending and I am looking forward to the next one in the series, which I hope comes to Audible soon. Maxine Mitchell and John Lane did a great job with the narration although I felt John sounded a little old for Matteo.

Great story and narration

I’m not a huge fan of Mafia romance stories but as it was written by Melanie Moreland, an author whose writing I admire, I decided to take a chance and I was so glad I did. When I first read this as a novella I was hooked, the extended story blew me away.

The Boss was a suspenseful romantic story about Matteo and Evie and I was invested from the first to the last chapter. Romantic suspense is not a genre I would normally associate with Ms. Moreland however after reading this book it is obvious that she has a talent for it.

It was well written with characters whose story you cannot help but quickly become invested in. Evie is running from an abusive boyfriend and Matteo is just the man to protect her. Their journey was rocky but oh what a journey it was. The chemistry and steam between Matteo and Evie was smoking hot.

I was on the edge of my seat whilst reading this book and cannot wait to read more in this gritty and refreshing new series from Melanie Moreland. John Lane and Maxine Mitchell did an outstanding job with their narration. The emotions and their performace really brought Matteo and Evie to life for me.
