Justice: A Choose A Hero Romance™

I swear I felt the sand, I wanted to take a shower. My body hurt and I wanted comfort. Tracy Tappan is such a descriptive author that you feel like its you she is talking about, your story she is sharing. When it comes to the hunks, one can only wish. Tracy has provided a novel idea, a fantastic romantic suspense in the military world where you choose the ultimate man. 3 different endings, 3 different men, all 3 make you feel loved, protected, worthy. Can't choose? Get all 3 endings and indulge yourself. Justice is quick, strong, intelligent, and vulnerable. You are sucked into her world and I did not want it to end. I read all 3 endings because I kept waffling on my choice. All 3 kept yelling at me, *take take me" . So I did. If you haven't check out Tracy's other series, you should. I got to know her in *The Community Serie* her paranormal and then her *Wings of Gold* series.

Justice is a damaged, strong, obstinate and awe inspiring woman. I wasn't sure if I was going to connect to the character as I'm totally not Justice, but found myself really wanting to her succeed under such harsh conditions and misogyny. The dynamics and relationships felt honest as they are built over a long period of hardship and teamwork, and the non-romantic or sexual writing makes it even hotter...there is sexual fission but it's not like a normal romance book. I couldn't wait to read the next books to find out what each relationship was offered...

Remember those days of your childhood when you stood in front of a candy display clutching that quarter trying to decide which candy you would buy? Well, get ready to have that feeling again when reading Justice -A Choose A Hero Romance Where The Reader Controls The Ending- (whew) by Tracy Tappan. I think that the only difference is that this is a life decision with no bad consequences, only guaranteed satisfaction (times 3 if you dare) and HEA's all around! In Justice, we meet a star athlete, who happens to be a trained master thief and an all around kick a ** woman who has a chance to compete with the big boys and join the US elite Special Operation Forces. Caveat: she has to pass the Navy's rigorous SEAL training program, BUD/S. Intense and uber realistic are the only descriptions I can make about this portion of the story. A nail biting, gritty detailed, fist clenching, heart racing, and pulse pounding...you get the idea... tale of Justice's grueling training is portrayed. The story fascinates me because not only does it portray each stage of the training, but it takes you along for the ride through the eyes of the main character, Justice- aka the "BUD/S Woman". Along the way you meet her future possible heroes: Keith: "Man of the Hour and all around Hunk-a-Chunk-a" , Brayden: "... big heart...toe-curling dimples..gallantry", and Pete: "...aviator sunglasses..factory-strength hotness and yum...". They each have traits that appeal to different aspects of her personality - and yours:-) It's like being faced with choosing between a chocolate chip cookie, an ice cream sundae, or a slice of cheesecake. It's subjective. This book isn't pick option A. for a sexy hero, B. for a rough bad boy, or C. for a sappy friend-with-benefits hero. She weaves a real to life storyline/ plot for each hero. Each track is unique with realistic action and a satisfying conclusion based on a different personal issue the heroine has faced during her life. I was happy that she could pull off making each guy "fit" Justice so perfectly. It drove me crazy too, because unlike a ménage story, I wanted to only like one of the guys for her. But I ended up getting possessive about all of them....sigh... But initially at least, you must choose Justice's own path forward through one of her awesome heroes. You can't go wrong whether you pick one hero- or eventually all of them! Each story is non-repetitively satisfying and actually gives you a better understanding of the heroine's personality. I devoured all three endings and was pulling my hair after all of them. Why- because I decided on my absolute favorite guy, her perfect compliment, the one man who totally "got" her, the hunkiest of the hunkiest- only to palm slap myself and change my mind time and time again. If only I could combine all three into one... But then I probably wouldn't have the enjoyment of reading "three" different perspectives in what turned out to feel like one satisfyingly story. When you love a book, sometimes you don't want it to end. So having multiple, well written HEA's is a treat. Think- "sequel" on steroids and not having to stop after one potato chip. *Sorry for all the food references* In this instance, you CAN have it all. Well played Tracy, well played. And when you finally finish reading Justice, and you desperately need more, look up her other books : The Wings of Gold Series (Military/Romantic) or The Community Series (Paranormal). You're welcome in advance. I received an ARC of this book to leave my honest, and somewhat long-winded opinion.
