When Justice Comes

Tupelo Grove #3

by Colleen Coble, Rick Acker

USA TODAY bestselling romantic suspense author Colleen Coble and Rick Acker deliver the final book in their beloved Tupelo Grove Hez and Savannah Webster have survived storms that would bury others without a love as strong as theirs--but can they withstand the final battle in the deadly Legare-Willard feud that threatens to sweep away everything they've fought for?

Hezekiah "Hez" Webster and his fiancé, Savannah, stand on the brink of a new life, but their dreams are haunted by specters of the past. Just as they're getting ready to adopt her nephew, two other petitioners also file for custody--both of whom only want Simon for their own gains.

Between the financial company that Hez outmaneuvered to save the university from ruin and the bad blood from the head of the Willard family, it's hard to say who wants them out of the way more. Hez and Savannah's quest for justice leads them through a labyrinth of family law, where loyalties are tested and trust is a dangerous luxury when every decision could be their last.

With the clock ticking, Hez and Savannah must confront the ghosts of their past and their deepest fears to secure a future for Simon. But with every secret revealed, the stakes grow higher. Can they build the family they've always dreamed of, or will their enemies succeed in tearing them apart forever?

The Tupelo Grove series reaches its breathtaking conclusion as an enemy's agenda for revenge runs darker than swamp water and justice remains as precarious as quicksand in this heart-pounding narrative that underscores the power of redemption and forgiveness.

When Justice Comes is the third and final book in the Tupelo Grove series. While you may be able to enjoy this one as a standalone, this story follows the same couple all the way through and continually builds upon their story with each consecutive book. As such, you are definitely going to get the most out of the story by reading in order.

Hez and Savannah are back... and this time, they are fighting to adopt their nephew Simon... but they're not the only ones looking to gain custody. Having read the first two books already, I was so invested in these characters and found myself rooting all that much more for everything to work out. Once again, we are given all the twists, turns and secrets that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Mixed in with all the suspense and family drama, we get a great story of forgiveness as well. I've been a longtime fan of Colleen Coble's... and I have to say that this collab with Rick Acker has been equally as fantastic. This series has been intriguing, and this last installment was a great way to wrap it all up. If you enjoy Christian suspense, this is one book/series you'll want to check out.

WOW. WOW. WOW. Colleen Coble & Rick Acker do it again yall. The Tupelo Grove series is now in it's final stages with When Justice Comes, the last of the Legare, Willards and Websters saga. When Justice Comes comes out on March 3, I got the opportunity through NetGalley to read this early and I'm so glad I did. I was just excited to be getting back into their world. The themes in this book are justice, forgiveness as always Colleen Coble stays true to writing in her books, lots of family drama. Savannah and Hez are in for a fight of their lives, including keeping Simon safe. This last book umps up the danger and suspense. Just when you think you know all the suspense, the surprises keep coming. I loved this whole series and will go back to it again in the future, it was that good. You know there is some books you just have to re-read, well this is gonna be that.

I was sent a complimentary copy with no expectations to give a review.

Title: When Justice Comes
Series: A Tupelo Grove Novel Book #3
Authors: Colleen Coble and Rick Acker
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Genre: Mystery Thriller
Pub Date: March 3, 2026
My Rating: 4.6 rounded up
Pages 352


I am a big Colleen Coble fan. This is number thirty –two for me!
Co Author -Rick Acker writes during breaks from his "real job" as a Supervising Deputy Attorney General in the California Department of Justice
Savannah and Hez were both in Books #1 and #2 so I was looking forward to Tupelo Grove #3 which is the final this this great series.

Story starts where Book 2 left off. We know Hez and Savannah are planning to get married again! We know he had to have brain surgery and the recovery was long and worrisome. Now doing great although not 100% but excited about the upcoming wedding.
Additionally they are getting ready to adopt ten year old Simon whose mother Jessica Legare was Savannah’s half-sister was murdered.
Background – Their mother Marie was married to Pierre Legare and
Savannah is their first child. Jess is the child of Michael Willard and
Marie. There has been a ‘Legare-Willard’ feud going on for years.
Michael knew Marie was Pierre’s true love and he set out to win her.

Story stars with Simon out exploring the nearby sea and is excited with the sea cave he found. Savannah and Hez are both pleased with hearing Simon’s laughter as it is a welcome change as he has been so sad. But they soon hear him screaming as he is struggling in a rip current about 50 yard off shore. Hez knows Simon is in trouble and rushes to his rescue. Hez soon finds his energy is failing. Savannah has called the Coast Guard who are actually somewhat close. However, they find both under water. Both Simon and Hez rescued but need to go to the hospital to be checked out.

There is no doubt there Hez and Savannah love Simon and he loves them but the adoption isn’t a clear case. Simon’s father Erik Andersen comes into the picture, he as well as Grand Dad Michael want Simon but for other reason.
Michael is not a nice man but can be charming and has already fooled Simon. Savannah knows he is involved in criminal things and is a powerful man and usually gets what he wants.
Erik withdraws his petition for custody and sides with Michael.

Savannah and Hez love Simon and now they will be a family. Savannah and Hez’s young daughter Ella drowned several years also. So they as well as Simon have experienced a major loss.

Things get intense as Michael does not want his grandson to grown up a Legare and takes the custody to court.
There was so much going on in this story – Sure kept me glued!

I loved Ms. Coble’s ‘Dear Readers’ where she tells us of the research she and Rick did for this story.- Also enjoyed the thoughtful Book Club Discussion questions.

I enjoyed this series and although it has ended I am hopeful Savannah and Hez pop up in another story. Additionally looking forward to these two authors continue writing together as I sooo enjoy their stories,

Want to thank NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for granting me this early e Galley.
Publishing Release Date scheduled for March 3, 2026.

The final book in the Tupelo Grove series is a strong, emotionally grounded conclusion that highlights the polished storytelling readers have come to expect from Colleen Coble and Rick Acker. Their collaborative writing seamlessly blends romantic suspense with legal drama, and the prose feels confident, controlled, and intentional. The pacing is well managed, allowing tension to build steadily while still leaving room for emotional nuance and character reflection.
The writing excels in its layering of conflict. External danger, legal maneuvering, and deeply personal stakes are woven together without the story ever feeling overstuffed. The custody battle is handled with care and realism, anchoring the suspense in something deeply human and emotionally resonant. Dialogue is crisp and purposeful, revealing motivation and emotional undercurrents while efficiently moving the plot forward. The legal aspects add credibility and tension without overwhelming the narrative, which speaks to the authors’ skill and restraint.
The audiobook experience further elevates the story. The narration complements the tone of the writing, enhancing both the suspense and the emotional beats. Shifts in tension, urgency, and vulnerability are clearly conveyed through the narrator’s pacing and inflection, making it easy to stay fully immersed. The audio format works especially well for the legal and suspense-heavy moments, allowing the stakes to feel immediate and engaging without losing clarity.
Coble and Acker also bring the series’ themes of redemption and forgiveness to a satisfying close. These elements are woven naturally into the story, never feeling heavy-handed, and the emotional payoff feels earned. While some plot turns follow familiar genre paths, the strength of the writing and the solid audiobook performance keep the story compelling through the final pages.
Overall, this is a well-written and satisfying conclusion that offers both tension and emotional closure. A strong four-star read—and listen—for fans of character-driven romantic suspense.

I received a copy for review purposes. All opinions are honest and mine alone.


Book three and the final installment of the Tupelo Grove series, WHEN JUSTICE COMES is another product of the joint efforts between Colleen Cobble and Rick Acker. It can be read as a standalone thanks to the author duo providing enough fill-in-the-blank information. Of course, reading the entire series will always be the best experience!

Hez and Savannah have been doing battle with every evil human being their small town and families can muster up. It cost them their marriage, sibling, child, business, parents. In this installation, they are trying to make right for all the wrong done by their families, save the university and protect it from her father, adopt her nephew and protect him from his grandfather and heal the many rifts within their families.

Sounds like a day in the park, eh? Not so much with the constant barrage of turmoil thrown at this couple. As far as I’m concerned, it was too much for too long with too many razor’s edge rescues. What could have been exciting and thrilling became Saturday at the five dollar theatre.

By the time this couple managed a somewhat happy ending, I wasn’t all that interested, weary from the journey. The faith elements were subtle. There were mentions of praying for help early on in the story but then the characters moved out in their own strength. God reappears during the final few chapters of intense action and resolution: “God, help…God, please, God, no!” and so forth; a very different kind of prayer.

The on sale date for this book isn’t until March 3, 2026. Perhaps there’s still fine tuning being done.

Recommended for those who like clean, small town, light thriller, suspense titles with complicated family mysteries and relationships📚

When Justice Comes is the third and final book in the Tupelo Grove series. I have not read the previous books and was able to follow the characters but if you can please dive in at the beginning of the series it will be worth it. This book is focusing on the resolution of situations that were further developed in the previous books and this one wraps them up. Hez and Savannah have been doing battle with every evil human being their small town and families can muster up. It cost them their marriage, sibling, child, business, parents. In this installation, they are trying to make right for all the wrong done by their families, save the University and protect it from her father, adopt her nephew and protect him from his grandfather and heal the many rifts within their families. So much packed into one book. Hez and Savannah—once married, then divorced, now reunited—are preparing for their second wedding while navigating the heart-wrenching process of adopting their ten-year-old nephew, Simon. Following the death of Savannah’s sister, her wish for Savannah to raise Simon is crystal clear. But that path is anything but smooth. Old family rivalries, buried secrets, and criminal entanglements resurface, threatening to derail the adoption and tear apart what Hez and Savannah have fought so hard to rebuild. The stakes are high, the emotions raw, and the suspense relentless. Themes of forgiveness as well as staying strong in the face of adversity and falling back on your faith. Many thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity.

Can you believe we are already closing out this incredible series? It feels like we have been right alongside Hez and Savannah as their story catapulted from one book to the next, and When Justice Comes delivers the breathtaking conclusion we’ve been waiting for. Colleen Coble and Rick Acker have mastered the blend of high-stakes suspense, deep-rooted family drama, and authentic faith elements, creating a narrative that feels both dangerous and heartwarming.

In this final installment, the tension is palpable as the couple fights for the adoption of their nephew, Simon. It is heart-wrenching to watch them navigate a labyrinth of family law, especially knowing there are other parties filing for custody for all the wrong reasons. The external threats from the Legare-Willard feud and the financial fallout add layers of danger that ensure the stakes remain incredibly high throughout the book.

What truly stands out, however, is the powerful theme of forgiveness that anchors the narrative. Amidst the twists and plenty of turns that kept me turning the pages late into the night, the emotional core of the story remains focused on redemption. If you have been following the Tupelo Grove series, this finale does not disappoint—it is a heart-pounding and satisfying end to a journey defined by resilience and love.

[Ifeanyi Omoike · Rating 4 out of 5]

I finished this book in less than 24 hours—the suspense was that good. It was great to meet the characters again and see how everything ultimately played out. I won’t give any spoilers, but just know: the twists and turns in this story are plenty, and many of them I truly didn’t see coming. So, brace yourself.

I was deeply moved by how Hez and Savannah fought so hard for Simon. It showed not only how much they loved him, but how deeply Savannah honored Jess—her late sister—and protected her wishes. Their loyalty, resilience, and steadfast love for each other made their relationship feel both hopeful and meaningful.

I also appreciated how neatly everything wrapped up in the end—no loose threads, no lingering questions. It was a satisfying conclusion to the arc, with strong suspense and meaningful moments.

A thoroughly enjoyable read that kept me turning pages from start to finish.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys suspense-filled stories with a tender thread of romance. I could say you should curl up in your reading nook with this one, but nope—you’ll be on the edge of your seat, flipping pages to see what happens next.

The dynamic conclusion to this series! It would be hard to understand all that is going on if you haven't read the first two books. There are too many underlying storylines and past events that need resolution in this book! I suppose you could piece it together but do yourself a favor and read the first two books! Become familiar with the people, the past betrayals, the simmering anger and what has led up to what is happening in this book!
Savannah and Hez are fighting tooth and nail to adopt their nephew, Simon. The hoops they have to jump through against the other people wanting to adopt are just plain crazy but realistic. It shows what our judges and justice system have to contend with. Although this is the focus of the story, there are so many other storylines to wrap up! There is a lot of action! Past betrayals and perceived "justice" come into play heavily. People wanting their pound of flesh for someone who wronged them. Through it all, at least Savannah & Hez hang on their faith and God to see them through. That is not the case for others! I will miss these characters after going through so much with them!

When Justice Comes, Book 3 of the Tupelo Grove trilogy, delivers a powerful and satisfying conclusion to the series. In this final installment, Hez and Savannah are fighting to adopt Savannah’s nephew, Simon—but they aren’t the only ones who want the child. What follows is a high-stakes story filled with twists, turns, and secrets revealed chapter by chapter. Old family rivalries, buried secrets, and dangerous criminal entanglements resurface, threatening not only the adoption but everything Hez and Savannah have worked so hard to rebuild.

The author masterfully blends suspense and family drama, keeping the tension high throughout. A strong theme of forgiveness and redemption is woven beautifully through the story, adding emotional depth and heart. The unexpected twists kept me engaged, and the conclusion did not disappoint—it was a deeply satisfying and well-earned ending to the trilogy. This is a highly recommended series with excellent storytelling and memorable characters.

Colleen Coble and Rick Acker had tied up their Tupelo Grove series, featuring the inimitable Savannah and Hez with When Justice Comes.

The book felt like it started as another chapter in the previous book, without any need to rehash any backstory, which was refreshing, but keeps this book from really being considered a stand-alone in addition to being the last in the series.

When we last found Savannah and Hez, they had just had the bombshell surprise of the century, which made their family grow, overnight. With Jess’ last testament read, her wishes were plainly stated, much to the chagrin of others related to them.

When Justice Comes has a lot of crazy action sequences, and Tons of misdirection, leaving the reader with so many opportunities for surprise that the book is over before you really even knew that it had begun.

I feel like Savannah and Hez are part of my family now, and I’ll miss their adventures and also miss the “will the-won’t they” trope of their relationship. And I never thought that I would say this, but I’ll miss a Willard.

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson and Zondervan Fiction Audio for this audio ARC!!

[Katie · Rating 4 out of 5]

While I did not enjoy books 1 and 2 in this series as much as I had hoped, I decided to finish out the series after an intriguing cliffhanger finished the last book. I did find this last one to be the best of the 3.
The characters in this book were more interesting and consistent, and the book as a whole kept the pace fairly evenly throughout. Finding out what happened to Ella was not as dramatic as I expected, since we already mostly knew what happened to her from the epilogue in book 2, but it was a great twist to the series.
This book does not stand alone, as a lot of things will not make sense without the background from books 1 and 2. I am thankful the authors continued to remain very clean with Christian themes amidst the romance and violence of the story. While not my favorite Colleen Coble series, I am glad I stuck with it and finished this series. I recommend giving it a try.

When Justice Comes is the third book in the Tupelo Grove series by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker. It does follow after the rest in the series, so it is best to read them in order. The story continues to follow Hez and Savannah as they work toward remarriage and adopting their nephew. As they work towards their family's future, they have to come to terms with what has happened in their past.

This is a well written story that is filled with action, suspense and mystery. There is so much action taking place in this story that it's hard to put down. I enjoyed the parts of how Savannah works to correct wrongs her father did in the past. I found it inspirational to see the young women in the story come forth with information to help Savannah and Hez. This is such a good story that shows how the evils in the world can come from anyone, anytime, anywhere.

I voluntarily received a complimentary copy of this book, this is my honest review.

[Maureen Timerman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a great page turning series, and although I hate for it to end, I'm glad the answers came.
This book really takes up where the previous book left off, and I do think you could read this alone, you would miss the some key points.
Feuds and greed, long, long standing, and sadly the loss of life, and no one is really safe.
For some the pain never leaves, it may let up, and there is great faith here, but horrible revelations come to light!
There is to be a wedding, and obstacles keep falling, there is also a darling little boy that sadly gets caught up in the terror that some are using to get their own way.
I hate that this series is ending, but I'll be on the lookout for more by these authors, always a good read!

This is the dramatic and satisfying conclusion to the Tupelo Grove series. It sees Hezekiah and Savannah, trying to finally build the life they’ve been fighting toward. However, in the last book in the series, they are undergoing one final, high-stakes battle that tests their love and family.

Character relationships are at the heart. Themes of justice, redemption, forgiveness & loyalty are woven in nicely. Neither of the protagonists is perfect; both must make hard choices. Even for those who haven’t read the earlier books, the main storyline holds together well, though some character backstories resonate more if you’ve read the previous volumes.

I receive complimentary books from various sources, including NetGalley, authors, and others. I am not required to write a positive review, and I have not received any compensation for my thoughts.

When Justice Comes is the exciting conclusion to the Tupelo Grove series by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker. The characters are wonderful and complex. It is Hez’s and Savannah’s story, a second chance love story. While planning their second wedding, they work to adopt their nephew, Simon. However, his grandfather also has rights and strives to adopt Simon into his crime family. Decades old grievances are unearthed and threaten the safety of their young nephew. Hez and Savannah will do anything to protect Simon even as their own lives are in jeopardy. It is fraught with danger that keeps the adrenaline flowing throughout the book. It could be read as a standalone, but reading all three books will give you the necessary continuity to understand all the characters. I highly recommend the entire series.

[Kathleen · Rating 3 out of 5]

In WHEN JUSTICE COMES, written by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker, Hez (Hezikiah) and Savannah Webster are engaged to be married. Simon saves the nephew, Simon, from drowning. Simon resembles Jess Legare, who lives with Micheal Willard and his mother. Hez and Savannah want to adopt Simon, but it appears that another party is interested in doing the same. I want to know what happens and read on.

This is the final book in the Tupelo Grove series, so while this novel can be read as a standalone, I think it is probably best to read the three books in order. I like the atmosphere of the setting. I wish I cared more about the characters, bur that might have been different had I read both of the previous books. Thank you, Thomas Nelson Fiction and NetGalley, for the chance to read and review an advance reader copy of WHEN JUSTICE COMES.

If you love romantic suspense or even if, like me, this is not a genre you normally choose, I highly recommend reading the excellent Tupelo Grove series by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker. The endings to the first two books were shocking, leaving you immediately wanting more. After a great deal of suspense and some surprising reveals, will When Justice Comes, the final book in the series, leave you feeling satisfied as it wraps up Hez's, Savannah's, and Simon's stories or will it also leave you wanting more? Be sure not to miss the final installment in this top-notch series by author team Coble and Acker.

When Justice Comes is the third and final book in the Tupelo Grove series. I recommend reading the first 2 books in this series as they follow the same couple throughout this series. Each book builds on each other. While in the midst of preparing to get married to each other again, Savannah and Hez find themselves fighting to gain custody of their nephew Simon because 2 other partitioners want to have custody of Simon.
When Justice Comes also includes twists and turns, suspense, justice, forgiveness, a family feud, and family drama. Savannah and Hez have to be careful who they can trust. What a wonderful ending to this series.

When Justice Comes is intriguing, complex, and layered - the story of overcoming old hurts, discovering past deceptions, misunderstandings, and revenge. I was at times frustrated, worried, and terrified. I was also, at times, touched by the sentimentality, and encouraged by love and forgiveness. I loved Savannah and Hez and delighted in their story of redemption and second chances. I especially loved Simon, with all his spunk and character. This is the final book in a wonderful trilogy - reading all three in order provides a more complete and unforgettable story. Well done, Colleen and Rick!

[Sheila Kaye · Rating 5 out of 5]

When Justice Comes is the final book in the Tupelo Grove Trilogy. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough as I untangled this complicated web of a romantic and suspenseful mystery. The sentimental part of me loved seeing a flash of characters from the author's Pelican Harbor and Sanctuary series so I'm hopeful that we haven't seen the last of Savannah, Hez and Simon. I think Augusta deserves her own book. I'm sorry to see this series end because the combination of intense drama and unending faith in the power of God leads to high quality story telling.

This is the final book in Colleen Coble and Rick Acker’s Tupelo Grove series and it ended with a bang! This book weaves legal drama, suspense and emotional drama all in one!
