"can their love surpass the fate they were born into"
Did I mention there is also a whole heap of prizes including a $30 Amazon gift card? Keep reading to find out how to win, and also see my review.
The Books
HUNGER FOR JUSTICE
Have you ever felt a hunger so intense it blinds you from
everything else in your life?
For Claire Moore, her hunger for justice is her coping
mechanism, her reason for getting out of bed each morning, struggling to face
her day to day life alone after her father and brother were violently taken
from her.
Other nineteen year olds are at parties and studying at
University, living the fun naïve life of a teenager, but in the world of
Claire, there was nothing left for her other than the desperate hunger for
justice.
Unfortunately it’s this hunger that’s driven everyone who
cares for her away, unable to watch her place herself in danger any longer and
that includes her teenage love, Talon Baker.
But true love never really dies and after stumbling upon
information to the identity of their murderers, together Talon and Claire are
hunted until they can figure out the clues her father left for them.
Through her hunger for justice, Claire grows by
relinquishing control of her fight and allowing others to love her, even though
the fear of losing them is too excruciating bear.
HEART FOR JUSTICE-
SECOND NOVEL IN THE MOORE JUSTICE TRILOGY
A lot’s happened since Claire’s world turned upside down. No
longer alone and now an enrolee in the NSW Police Academy, things are finally
turning around. Claire hasn’t given up on her quest for justice; she’s allowing
herself to share her life while perusing it. But when a call for help comes in
from her friend Jess whose been attacked and isn’t the first victim, her plans
are placed on hold. With her officer boyfriend, Talon by her side Claire’s set
on a new quest to find out who the serial rapist of Lakes End is before he
strikes again and Jess can finally feel safe. But what happens when Claire is
forced to face some truths she had hidden long ago?
Can her heart let go of the need for vengeance to make room
for love of her life.
BLOOD FOR JUSTICE
Her future runs in the blood of others.
It’s a given
that all families have skeletons in their closet, but Claire didn’t think the
old proverb held any relevance in her life. Until the day she found out her
mother hadn’t died in a car accident over sixteen years ago.
As if that wasn’t enough to wrap her head around, she also
discovers she has sixteen year old twin brothers and a six year old sister and
suddenly becomes a twenty year old mother overnight.
Her life had been filled with the pursuit for answers and
justice, yet all that will have to wait when Claire and Talon are forced to
deal with teachers, psychologists and community services on top of the day to
day chores of parenthood with the lingering danger of the Volkovs who lurk ever
close behind—waiting for a chance to strike.
Will Claire risk her family’s lives over her quest for
justice? Or will her greatest fight yet, be the one to keep her new family
together?
Can Talon and
Claire’s love survive the pressure of a readymade, slightly dysfunctional
family? Or will this finally be the thing that tears them apart?
My Review
Now that you know what the books are about, here are my thoughts.
I really enjoyed these books. They were different to your usual YA romance. Claire and Talon were both very likable characters and you would find yourself just barracking for their happiness.
The books are fast paced and I swear I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, while there were so many WTF moments - in a good way! I enjoyed how the romance was cleverly weaved through so it was a huge part of the books, hence the tagline above, but didn't detract from the suspense and wasn't shoved in for the sake of having romance in what is otherwise an action packed, mystery trilogy. A thoroughly enjoyable story about love against the odds and love for family.
4.5 stars.

I've been so busy I forgot to blog about my book release! And please contact me if you bought the paperback in February!
How silly and slack am I?
I was left completely gobsmacked today when my husband told me this morning that he had stopped at some traffic lights on his way to work. He wasn't paying much attention, as happens when you're thinking about the day ahead, but as a girl walked across the road, he noticed she had my book in her hand! Wow! Someone had bought my book! And was walking around with it! In public!
It does have a pretty cover though :)

Only thing is, I know there is something wrong with that paperback so if you had bought one in February please, please contact me. I'm working hard on getting the issue fixed and the paperback back up for purchase.
In the meantime, the ebook is available and with no issues:
