Blurb: Jordan Erichsohn suspects something is rotten about his boss, Judge Crawford. Unfortunately he has nowhere to turn and doubts anyone will believe his claims—least of all the handsome deputy, Pierre Ravelle, who has been assigned to protect the judge, as he’s been receiving the threatening letters. The judge has a long reach, and if he finds out Jordan’s turned on him, he might impede Jordan adopting his son, Jeremiah.

When Jordan can no longer stay silent, he gathers his courage and tells Pierre what he knows. To his surprise and relief, Pierre believes him, and Jordan finds an ally… and maybe more. Pierre vows to do what it takes to protect Jordan and Jeremiah and see justice done. He’s willing to fight for the man he’s growing to love and the family he’s starting to think of as his own. But Crawford is a powerful and dangerous enemy, and he’s not above ripping apart everything Jordan and Pierre are trying to build in order to save himself….

Review: Deputy Pierre Ravelle is stuck with the somewhat boring case of threatening letters being sent to a high profile ‘hanging judge’, Judge Crawford. There is a perk to the boring case, though, when he meets Jordan Erichsohn.

Jordan is a paralegal and the assistant to Judge Crawford. Jordan is smart, organized, and does everything to keep the judge informed and on schedule. In trying to archive old case files, Jordan runs across some files that aren’t official, and finds missing information that could change the outcome of a case. But, Jordan fears that if he tells anyone what he’s found, he could not only lose his job but the love of his life, his son, Jeremiah.

Pierre takes an interest in Jordan, and even more so when he learns of Jeremiah. Pierre would like to have a family of his own, and he starts bonding with Jordan and Jeremiah, but Jordan doesn’t have much self-confidence when it comes to dating. He finds it even more frustrating when dates find out he has a son, and Jordan will give up everything to keep his son.

As Pierre and Jordan begin to trust one another, they get deeper involved in the missing case files and threatening letters. Both he and Jordan stand to lose everything going up against Judge Crawford and people with power.

Andrew Grey has constructed a plot that offers mild suspense—you never know what will happen next. The story also gives an extensive look at how carefully Pierre had to follow procedure in gathering evidence while building a case against the guilty. This was an interesting look into the corruption surrounding a high-profile judge and his associates. There are friends and helping hands from the Carlisle Cops series, and even Bronco’s gets a mention. I think this is a really good start to the Carlisle Deputy series, so I’m interested to see what the author will come up with next.
