Craving Justice

Brothers of Justice #1

by Fiona Archer

Four Aussies in Seattle
Once brothers
Now strangers
As an unseen enemy takes aim
Four must stand as one for Justice to survive.


A man branded by his past

Seth Justice is tall, daring and dangerous. The former street kid from Sydney owns a thriving technology company in Seattle. But he has bigger goals―or should that be ghosts?―that drive him harder. On the verge of selling his business for a fortune, he’s celebrating when Harper Fox, daughter of the buyer, tumbles into his arms. The curvy café owner enchants him with her sassy personality. Soon they move from easy banter to a night of passion that reveals a sweet vulnerability in the soft-hearted woman.

A woman determined to control her future

After a lifetime of her domineering father’s scorn and rejection, Harper dances to her own beat. She has her café and surrounds herself with a chosen family of her eccentric staff and close friends. While she’s mostly content… her heart aches for more. But Harper has been burned before and doesn’t trust easily. That is, until a man with a panty-melting Aussie accent and a commanding stare entices her to take a chance—on him. When Seth takes charge in the bedroom and ties her control in knots, he awakens a need in Harper that leaves her hungry for more.

A new beginning worth fighting for

When an unseen enemy attacks the new life Seth and his brothers have built, the ensuing disaster tests not only his developing relationship with Harper, but also threatens to sever the last remaining bonds with his brothers. As Seth struggles to protect everything and everyone he loves, he has to determine if Harper is his enemy’s target—or accomplice.

Craving Justice is a book that has me screaming for more. I became obsessed with these Aussie brothers from the very first chapter and I already can't wait for more.This book truly had every aspect of a romance that I love. A sexy Hero, a strong heroine, some really smexy times, and had the added bonus of suspense thrown in.

Seth and Harper were both very likable characters and i enjoyed seeing them together. Harper was just he right amount of quirky and I found myself smiling a lot because of her. And with Seth she was even better; these two truly complemented each other. Seth was a big hunk of sex on a stick, and I'm not just saying that because of his Aussie accent. The protective side to him had me swooning right out of my seat.

Overall, this book is a must read. I'm already craving more of these brothers so I plan on starting book 2 as soon as I can.

**2.5 Stars**

I really wanted to like this book. It started out so strong. I was really liking the heroine, Harper. She was funny, sweet, smart and sassy. I was thinking “yay! I’ve got a really great heroine”. I also was liking Seth. He was giving me what I want in a hero, sexy, dirty-talking, possessive. (Though I think he “talked” a little too much in the bedroom) Definitely insta-lust if that’s not your thing. But, when the suspense part started, it all went downhill for me. At this point, to me, the romance took a back burner. There were a few sexy times thrown in but not enough to satisfy my romance craving.

****WARNING, Spoilers below****
There is some misunderstandings/miscommunications. At one point, Harper believes Seth was using her and basically set her up to make fun of. It is straightened out quickly and I was okay with that part though my heart was hurting for her. It was obvious he had not done it.

Then, when certain “evidence” comes to light, Seth believes Harper is the one trying to ruin them. His brothers and him confront her and he is rather nasty. Now, I understand it looked damning. But I really thought he could see her for who she truly was. It took one of his other brothers pointing out something she did that, someone who was deceitful wouldn’t do, for him to get his head out of his ass. By this time, it was too late and Harper was in danger. This really, really pissed me off. I wanted him to believe her even though she looked guilty. I wanted him to stand against his brothers for her even though the evidence was said otherwise. We’d already seen that the villain made up false information. I felt so bad for her. She believed him on his word that he was not guilty but he couldn’t give her the same consideration.

Then, of course, she’s rescued and all is forgiven. I’m like WTF woman! Make him grovel a bit. He deserved to be raked through the coals for not believing in you and helping you to prove your innocence.

I also thought the whole thing with Lincoln was odd. I realize Seth was hurt by his actions but HELLO, he was a 10-year-old kid scared to death of his grandmother (who was an evil bitch, btw). I think he deserved a little more consideration and not dismissed quite so quickly. And, 17 years is a long time to hold on to anger and resentment of a 10-year-old’s actions. But, that’s just my personal opinion.
I kept reading because I wanted verification as to who the “villain” was. I had my suspicions but was hoping I was wrong…I wasn’t. That made me sad.

But one thing that bugged the HELL out of me was Harper called Seth “handsome” as a pet name. It was used many times, sometimes multiple times on one page. It really grated on my nerves. Sometimes, it just seemed out of place to me. But this is just my personal issue and others may not be troubled by it.

I will definitely continue the series as I’m interested in the other brothers’ stories.

Hot Aussie blokes, fashion, laughs, intrigue AND sexy times. WINNER!!

***4.5 Stars***

Let's look at the facts…Craving Justice REALLY ticked all my boxes. This book has a HOT hero, Seth, and HOT brothers as well. The heroine, Harper, is funny, quirky and a little bit of a klutz. There were plenty of descriptions of cool outfits worn by Harper and her gal pals, Cleo, and Jinx. The mystery and intrigue had me riveted from start to finish. AND…Seth’s into a little bit of kinky, sexy times (hubba hubba). Put it all together and you have got one sensational story.

Craving Justice starts out with Seth in a business meeting with one of his brothers Dillon, and the CEO of Brooke-Porter Digital, Stanton Fox. They’re there talking deals…and I mean BIG deals, to the tune of $50 million dollars type of big deals. Seth is selling his phone app design business Shazad. At the end of the meeting, they have negotiated a deal and a letter of intent has been signed. Stanton asks the brothers to a corporate function and the men agree to go. The event is a little bit stuffy for Seth, but he’s on a high and willing to suffer through with it. It’s not all bad for Seth because a cute, little bombshell falls straight into his arms and knocks him off his feet.

Harper is a bit of a klutz and even limiting her heels to two inches doesn’t stop her from falling…into a gorgeous man's arms. After introductions, she realises he’s the brother of one of her regular customers Dillon. Harper owns a coffee shop that is doing quite well. Unfortunately, she will never live up to her father’s (Stanton Fox) expectations. Harper is hurt by her father’s hostile and rude behaviour as well as his constant disappointment in her. Her best way to avoid confrontation with him, is to avoid him but in this case she’s there to see her sister who's at the function.

Harper and Seth hit it off straight away and decide to have dinner together. As they are still enjoying each other's company they decide to have desert at Harper's place. The intimate setting and their attraction to each other leads them to the bedroom and the SPARKS FLY!! While Harper is a little hesitant after having a couple of bad relationships, Seth is very keen…and he makes that fact known. I love a man who doesn’t beat around the bush. Must be the Aussie in me, as we are supposedly known for our blunt and straight to the point manner ;)

Leaving each other with smiles on their faces and hope in their eyes, they had no idea what was in store for them on waking the next morning….

Social Media Attacks

Seth, his brothers, and Harper are in the firing line when Seth’s Facebook profile is compromised and ugly messages are shared. No-one’s safe and Seth’s business arrangement is in jeopardy. Also, the attack on Harper is not flattering and she is lead to believe the attack was directly from Seth. Luckily, Harper’s a cool chick, ready to listen and they work everything out.

Craving Justice takes us on a journey with Seth and Harper as they try to work out the mastermind behind the attacks. Who wants to see Seth and his brothers suffer? Who wants Seth’s $50 million dollar deal to fall through? Who is taking pleasure seeing Seth and his brother’s flounder in these trying times? The journey was awesome and I loved that I hadn’t worked it out until the answer was practically dropped into my lap.

I loved the additional characters in this story and I hope every one of them gets their own stories. We meet Harper’s best friends, Jinx, Cleo, Nitro, Ryan, and Abby. Then there are Seth’s brothers…A business man, a commando, a cop, a wood working genius who looks like a biker dude, and an SAS army sniper. Lots of goodness to look forward to…and maybe even Jinx or Cleo could hook up with one of the brother’s. I’d like to see that.

This is a steamy read with a little bit of kink. It is in no way a BDSM, hardcore kink book, more like a feel the burn and get “turned on” type of kink. There is one violent scene towards the end, but it was not OTT or extreme.

My only teeny weeny little complaint was that the flow was a little stilted to begin with. Seth talked a wee bit too much in the first couple of intimate scenes. Yes, he was a confident man, but I can’t imagine most men having such deep conversations the first time they’re getting it on. After the first time, it settled down and his “talking” was dirty and HOT!!

This was my first story by Fiona Archer and definitely won’t be my last.

I received a complimentary ARC of Craving Justice from the author for an honest review.

I love this cover. It's eye-catching. A fairly good representation of the story. It makes great use of graphics. The composition is really good, and the typography is interesting.

Overall this one was a pretty good read. I enjoy this author's writing style. It has a KA feel to it without being a copy. The pace was a little off for me in parts, and I found it dragging. I considered putting it aside for a bit but I soldiered on. I am glad that I stuck with it though because it did pick back up again and I ended up being sucked back into the story.

It had a lot of interesting side characters. I love that whole brothers/friends comradery, and I am wondering now that it seems all the brothers are going to working together in their P.I business if Harper's café is going to turn into hot guy central. I am also excited to find out more about each brother. I had a bit of a love/hate relationship with them throughout the book (except Zach, the hot biker brother. I loved him). They acted like assholes A LOT but pretty much redeemed themselves by the end.



As for the two main characters. I found them both likable. Especially Harper. She was just sweet and quirky. Seth was slightly less likable. He was a douche a few times especially when he thinks she has done something. Thankfully that doesn't last too long, and Zach helps him see what he already knew deep down was the truth.

That brings us to the twist and what a f-ing twist it was. I didn't see that coming AT ALL. So kudos to the author for that. That said, I didn't like the twist. It made me sad and confused. The reasoning behind why this person was doing what they were doing was a bit on the flimsy side. I felt there needed to be a better explanation for THIS particular person turning into a total psycho.

So onto book two I go...

Even better than I remembered!

If you have not read this author you are missing out on some amazing reads. When I heard Seth and Harper’s story was refreshed, with additional content, I hustled my way to a reread. And it was wonderful…

I love a read that makes me forget everything. Moving, the world, simply all the things I can’t seem to quiet except when I get lost in a great story. With all of the elements of the original, their courtship had more of all the things I loved the first time around. Surprises, laughter, romance – all within a writing style that spoke to me directly. No observer here, I felt like I was experiencing it all along with them. Once again... Not sure why the original lost a half start but it earned it and more this time around!

The Justices are back and with all the boys getting an update, I am in reading heaven! ~Diane, 5 stars

*original review* 2016

*Original Review*
Twisty and hot—just what I needed!

What’s on my wish list for the perfect story?

✔ A ‘keep me surprised plot’
✔ Interesting and relatable characters
✔ Emotions to tug my heart
✔ Laugh out loud humour
✔ Oh and throw in love and heat with just the right amount of edges

Not much to ask for, right? I’m nothing if not reasonable. I’m happy to say this story has the checkmarks racking up nicely!

Seth Justice is all about family even when they are at odds with each other. (Sounds like a typical family to me.) He and his brothers are bound by history and heart, so when a high-stakes business deal starts going south, and each are personally targeted, everything is pushed to the side as they come together to fight. Yah, that isn’t hot at all. Did I not mention all the brothers were over-the-top, handsome alphas? And hot? (That caught my attention too…)

In the middle of it all, Harper Fox catches Seth’s attention and is soon completely smitten. She is the ying to his yang in many ways. She is open, he keeps himself closed off. She is warm and funny, he, well he has his moments. She is endearingly clumsy and sweet, and he… can’t resist her at all.

“I’m hopeless at making up my mind on food. I like everything. Then, when I get my meal, I wonder if I’ve made the right choice.”… “It places a lot of pressure on the dish in front of me.”

Seth is anything but clumsy as he becomes fiercely protective of Harper. Oh yes, more of the hotness abounds. I really should just include a match here, and you will get how irresistible this man is… The feeling is mutual even as both are fighting anything more than physical attraction. They have their reasons to avoid relationships and when things come to a head, those issues are going to wreak havoc.

I loved this story even though, midway through, it seemed to veer away from the truly entertaining chemistry between Seth and Harper to focus more on the mystery and suspense. Good thing that was twisty as well—and surprising! I did not see that coming… or that…4

A kick-ass heroine and sexy Aussies have me waiting impatiently for the next story. Thank goodness there are more brothers! And I also need an Audible (not want, need). I need to hear these blokes! ~ Diane, 4.5 stars

This was Seth and Harper's story. It was a good start to the series. It did take me a while to get into the book, but once I did I enjoyed it. The storyline was interesting and the characters definitely likable, but it was suspense factor that I loved. I will be continuing the series when Heath's book is released.

[Mari · Rating 4 out of 5]

This had a very appealing concept 4 rough around the edges Aussies adopted by a kind lady who saw their potential. 4 very different brothers but tight now living in their new home. I can understand how things would be different at that age and adjusting. Not everyone would understand as well. I like how they established themselves and found different industries for each one. They have strong ties that unites them.

This is Seth's book, a business minded and ambitious guy who dreams of doing well for his mum and his brothers. This was their new beginning and things end up going awry when their company encounters hackers and fraudulent social media posts out to ruin the new deal they have going. Harper is the rebel daughter of said company Seth is trying to sell to. Sassy, cute, outspoken, sweet and full of charm. She doesn't exactly see eye to eye with her dad and is considered a black sheep. She and Seth connected and got along well and had chemistry but this incident caused a snafu. I'm glad they at least stuck with each other and sorted out the the misconceptions right away.

It's a case of who is doing all the slander and ruining the brothers reputation. I actually kept guessing and not knowing what's going on. I was kept engaged and on my toes. Add the romantic parts this made for a fun and quite delightful kind of story. The brothers all had alpha in them in very different degrees. Which made for lots of sexy times for Seth and Harper.

As much as I like many various terms of endearments, a little too many at times that it became distracting for me. I got a bit of whiplash from Adam at first but he grew on me which I think will make his book worth watching out for. The secondary characters were cheeky personalities and loyal friends. That ending is going to make things interesting.

One of the most honest Aussie living in the US books I've read so far. The slang and sayings are quintessentially Aussie that I'm familiar with (from watching Oz TV). I like that refreshing and entertaining. But also to true to character. I've never read any Fiona Archer books but I'll say great start to the new series. All the brothers are intriguing. For a quick easy read with a bit of suspense this fits the bill.

[Ann · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up. Interesting start to a new series about a group of adopted Aussies all in various hot guy professions. Some romantic suspense thrown into the mix too. Fun read, looking forward to the next one.

[April Symes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Craving Justice is my first read by author Fiona Archer and I very much enjoyed it. This is Seth Justice and Harper Fox’s story. The story starts off with Seth in a business meeting with one of his brothers Dillon, and the CEO of Brooke-Porter Digital, Stanton Fox. At the end of the meeting, they have negotiated a deal and a letter of intent has been signed. Stanton asks the brothers to a corporate function and the men agree to go. Seth goes and finds the event is not to his liking but is saved when he meets a cute woman there who literally knocks him off his feet. Harper is a bit of a klutz and no matter what type of shoe she wears, she just is a klutz. She bumps into a sexy and virile man. After they introduce themselves, Harper finds out he is the brother of one of her customers to her coffee shop, one which business is booming. Harper has a father that treats her like a disappointment compared to her brother. Harper and Seth hit it off and make plans to meet for dinner. From dinner leads to plans back at Harper’s place. There is this intense chemistry which jumps off the pages. They both want to see where they go but they both have been hurt in the past in different ways related to past relationships. There are twists and turns in the story that take it from a contemporary romance to a romantic suspense read. I love the added flavor to the story; the main plot is whether Seth and Harper will end up together or will the past pull them apart. Great new author to me yet she is now someone I will make it a point to read again.

DiDi's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews

LOVED it!! Add this to your "to be read" shelf!!

Craving Justice is one of my most anticipated releases of 2016. After reading Angeline’s reviews of Fiona Archer’s previous books I have really wanted to read something by her, however her previous books are menage and I just have not been in the mood to read menage books lately. When I found out Fiona was coming out with a new series that was couples I did a happy dance!

Let me warn you that my review may seem a little vague because I do not want to spoil it for anyone, just take my word and read this book.

Seth makes me think of a Phoenix because he rose from a horrible childhood into a successful business man. Seth is very much a gorgeous, Alpha male, to spike his hot factor through the roof is his sexy Aussie accent. Seth is on the cusp of making a business deal that will take him to the next level of success, as well as help him say bye to one of the monkeys on his back from his youth. Everything was going smooth and then quirky, curvy, beautiful, sassy Harper falls into his life.

Harper is a strong willed and independent woman, who also happens to be the daughter of the man set to buy Seth’s business. Harper’s does not have a good relationship with her father because she wouldn’t bend to his will, instead she opened up her own successful cafe. Stanton Fox, her father, has always ridiculed her and let her know what a disappointment she is to him, it hurt Harper, but don’t think Harper is a poor little rich girl, because she is far from it. Harper is one of my favorite heroines this year, because of her strength and sass.

Seth and Harper’s bubble of happy at meeting each other and hitting it off, was burst the very next day by an anonymous person making social media and personal attacks on both of them as well as Seth’s brothers. The path to finding who was attacking them is a fast moving twisted trail of betrayal that kept me on the edge of my seat. The suspense of “who done it” kept me guessing, every single time I thought I figured it out I was WRONG! Ms. Archer totally blew my mind with the person causing all the problems for Seth and his brothers as well as the OMG ending.

I was totally blown away by the way the relationship between Harper and Seth grew, the way they handled the obstacles in their way and the suspense in Craving Justice. Seth is dirty talking with a taste for a little kink making the sexy times HOT, HOT, HOT!! Harper is just adorable and sexy, I think she might just be my first book girl crush. Seth’s brothers are all sexy in their own way and I can’t wait for their stories. Harper’s friends Cleo, Jinx, Ryan, Nitro and Abby are great, I hope to see more of them as well.

Craving Justice is an exhilarating story full of hot Alpha males, a strong, quirky heroine, exceptional secondary cast and a mind bending chase to find out who the perpetrator of the attacks was. I was instantly addicted to Ms. Archer’s writing style and am waiting impatiently for the next books in the series.

This is the first book I've read by Fiona Archer and I was so impressed with this story. Fiona has a talent for drawing you in from the first chapter and keeping you invested in these characters and the story from start to finish.
I really enjoyed reading a book that isn't all about the romance. I've read so many books recently that all have the same content, and to be honest, I was getting a bit bored and in a bit of a rut.
Craving Justice dragged me out of my book funk and my love of reading returned, thanks to Fiona Archer.
Don't get me wrong, I love lots of romance in my books (and the sex scenes in this were HOT....really HOT) but there was so much depth and mystery to this storyline, I couldn't put it down.
The book revolves around 4 street kids from Sydney that have been adopted by a wealthy American woman and her son, after one of the kids rescues her son while on a trip to Australia. The 4 boys' lives changed for the better in a big way, now all grown up and living their own successful lives. Seth is the main character in the story and is in the process of selling his technology business when an online hacker risks everything, including his new found love interest, Harper.
The romance between Harper and Seth is so much fun to read. Harper had me laughing out loud on many occasions and I even saw similarities between her and I, especially when she orders her meals in restaurants. Seth is one of the best male leading characters I've read. He really had me hooked. I loved that he was so protective of Harper, in and out of the bedroom. Even if at times, he was bossy, it was all written in such a perfect way, that I couldn't help falling in love with him. He is the perfect book boyfriend.
As the story progresses we find out more about Seth and his brothers, with the mystery behind the online hacker keeping me guessing till the very end.
I highly recommend 'Craving Justice' to anyone that likes their romance books with a bit more storyline to get invested in. The mystery and suspense will keep you reading till all hours of the night.
This definitely won't be my last book from Fiona Archer and I can't wait to read about the other brothers in the follow on books in the series.
please note:- this is a stand alone book.

Meet Seth.
Driven, successful, sinfully delicious. A computer whiz who's just about ready to close a deal of a lifetime. This deal will make him a millionaire....No wait....It will make him a multi millionaire. He will repay his brothers for everything they did for him. For their generosity they gave him when he first began with the idea. His brother Dillon, he'll never be able to repay for the love and support and the partnership that has got him to where he is today.
You see Seth has had to work hard. His beginning, tragic. An addicted mother, father unknown, growing up in foster home after foster home, Seth was determined to be successful, to prove his worth. The deal so close, what could possibly go wrong?

Meet Harper.
She's young, beautiful, successful. She runs a quaint little café. It's her pride and joy.
Failed relationships, Harper puts all her time and energy into her baby. She loves it. Her family life, not so great. Her parents highly wealthy, her father a big corporate guy, her mother a socialite. Harper never really fit in because she refused to conform. Harper is her own person. She's individual and headstrong.
Her fathers business is about to buy a company, nothing new in his world, or hers for that matter. But unbeknownst to Harper it will impact her life. Change it up. Forever.......And why?

Because Seth and Harper's worlds are ready to collide. They just don't know it yet.
And when they do it will be explosive.

Seth and Harper.....This is their story.

Craving Justice....Guys what an absolute brilliant read. We were held hostage, transfixed, couldn't put it down. We were captivated from the very beginning. Raw, confronting, sinfully sexy, edgy and full of suspense it took our breath away. It had us guessing at every turn. It was a case of expect the unexpected because guessing was just a waste of time. We never picked it in a billion years what happened throughout and we were simply lost for words. If suspense, high actioned and sexy as hell read is your thing then you definitely need to read this novel. You won't be disappointed. It had absolutely everything in it and so much more. It will leave you speechless.

A huge 5 star read.

Craving Justice
Fiona Archer
4 stars

Seth Justice needs his brothers. Circumstances drove them apart but for the brothers to make it coming back together and possibly forgiving is a must. Seth is selling his phone app design and selling his soul to protect his employees. Negotiations are made and signed on the dotted line. Just as things are looking up Seth meets Harper.

Harper has found her own way inside her café. Her father’s approval is not needed anymore. Her life is full except she hasn’t found her one. Trusting another man would be a detriment. Falling into this mans arms has her rethinking everything.

Harper and Seth are finding their way around each other very intimately until events out of their control take over. Social media attacks, harsh messages, lies, betrayal and more give these two a run for their money along with Seth hanging on to his business contract. Someone is making this personal and its hitting Harper and Seth hard along with Seth’s brothers.

There are great secondary characters in this first release. Harper’s friends are hilarious and beat to their own drum which I love. Seth’s brothers are some very interesting men to say the least. I look forward to the next book Tempting Justice due out in the Fall featuring Heath and London.

Thank you for the ARC! Review to post to Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets.

This is my first time reading a book by Fiona Archer and I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the story. The characters were well thought out and the plot had a well-done plot that included an element of suspense and a hidden villain. I enjoyed the relationship between Seth and Harper quite a bit. Harper was quirky and sweet and had a depth to her that made you truly appreciate her character -- and there is a point in the story where her character matters. Seth is a swoon worthy hero who pulled himself up by his own bootstraps after a brush with serendipity in his young life that changed the course of his future. There is a great deal happening in the story on both Seth and Harper's side but the reader is pulled along for the ride and kept engaged throughout the story. I cannot wait to see what Archer has in store for the other brothers.

This was the first book I've read by Fiona Archer and my goodness was it good! Not just good but great!

The twists and turns in this book had me on the seat of my pants the entire book! I loved the quirkiness of Harper and how silly she can be! And Seth just sounds sexy as hell.

I loved how close the Justice brothers are in the book even though none are biologically related to one another. I'm very much looking forward to reading Heath's book when it's released!

Fiona Archer has written a suspenseful read that had me guessing all the way through the story. I found that this story ticked all my boxes for a book, it had characters that I loved, sexy hero, a feisty heroine, hot moments and drama. This made it be a really enjoyable read for me.



Harper was a feisty character that wasn’t afraid to be who she wanted to be, despite her father’s disapproval of her wok choices. She wasn’t afraid to stand up for herself and is a very independent woman.



Seth I instantly loved and really enjoyed the way that he was able to make something of himself despite his horrible childhood. I loved the way that he had a close relationship with his brothers and the way they protected each other. Seth was sexy alpha male that I loved a lot.



Craving Justice follows the story of Seth Justice and his relationship with Harper Fox as they try to navigate new threats that they are facing.



This is the first book of Fiona Archer I am reading and have become an instant fan of her work. I loved her style of writing; which had the ability to captivate me from the start and to the very end. I really enjoyed all the characters and the relationships they all had with each other. I cannot wait to find out what happens in the next book in the series and find out more about the Justice brothers.

When I learned that Fiona Archer was writing a series about HOT Aussie Alphas, I got SO EXCITED! I mean there is not one word in there that I don't like. HOT. AUSSIE. ALPHAS. I mean, COME ON! Archer didn't disappoint in CRAVING JUSTICE! It just got me more excited for the rest of the series! Sexy, smart, and satisfying, book one in Archer's SONS OF SYDNEY series, had me grinning from ear to ear. Everyone is definitely in for one SEXY TREAT!

"You're a mixture of naughty and nice. That's intoxicating, and I aim to discover more."

Ok, let's break this down. We have Seth Justice. Dangerous, smart as a whip, and absolutely panty-melting. Then we have Harper, our heroine. She is a woman after my own heart. Adorable, funny, witty, and full of quirks that will just make smile. You wouldn't think it, but these two are a perfect match in every way. Their chemistry...HOT! Their banter...HILARIOUS! I couldn't get enough of these two. Oh and you can tell by the series name that Seth has brothers...I can't even get into that right now because it's just too much! There is just TOO MUCH hotness for one book! Right! Like that's possible! Any who, you do get a taste of each brother, and it does get you excited about their individual upcoming books, but alas, us readers must be patient.

With Harper having some bad relationships in the past, and Seth having a hard and complicated upbringing, these two are quite a pair. When they are together SPARKS FLY off of the pages! It's smoldering, passionate, and seductive to the max. The author gives us a unique plot in this one surrounded by the enemy of social media. You will NOT see the real enemy coming. Full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing, CRAVING JUSTICE was an exciting and exhilarating ride. If you're not familiar with this author, book one in this series is a fantastic way to cut your teeth on Archer's writing style. I guarantee you will enjoy it immensely.

At last, the long awaited first book in the Sons of Sydney series has arrived, and it was so worth the wait! Craving Justice is about the youngest and first of four Aussie brothers, Seth Justice. Seth is just about to sell his multi-million dollar business to realize the culmination of his dreams and pay back his brothers their initial investments, plus interest, when the daughter of the buyer falls into his arms. Literally.
Harper Fox meets Seth during a cocktail party that her father is throwing. She trips and Seth quickly runs to catch her. The attraction between the two of them is instant. But Seth witnesses her father’s cold and dismissive treatment towards her. Seth and Harper spend an incredible night together, but soon after, a social media attack against Seth hits his brothers and even Harper. As the attacks begin to escalate, questions arise as to whether Harper may be playing a part. Will their relationship last? And who is out to ruin Seth? Grab a copy and find out!
I absolutely LOVED this book and couldn’t stand to put it down. I adored Seth and his alpha maleness with a side of humor and tenderness for Harper. (Can anybody say swoon? *sighs and fans self* ) And the brothers? Oh. Yum! I simply cannot wait for their books, especially Adam’s. I must say the who in the whodunit surprised me in the end, even if I did have my suspicions. This is one for the “Keep-and-reread” pile.

Star Ratings:
Heroine (Harper): 4/5
Hero (Seth): 4/5
Plot: 3/5
Grovel: none
Cheating: none
HEA: yes
Triggers: none

Average score: 3.5/5

Best Line: “there’s much more to share, but it’s going to take you way longer than one meal to appreciate all that’s me, Seth.”

Worst Line: “The truth was right now the brothers Justice were their own worst enemy.”

Personal Review:
This was a good romance between a café owner and a self-made man whose family is under attack by an anonymous person.

Random Ramblings:
•Good banter
•Aurora sounded great
•Loved the relationship between the brothers
•I just love the strong, protective, silent type so I’m really looking forward to Adam’s story – I have a soft spot for protective siblings because I am also an older protective sister and would do anything for my brothers and sisters (blood-related or not)
•I did skip some of the middle because it dragged on a bit
•I didn’t like how Harper pushed Seth to build a relationship with his brother – I trusted Seth’s instincts
•The blurb is a dead giveaway to the ending

Overall Feeling:

In love with Adam

☆☆Reviewed for Hooked On Books ☆ ☆

I gave this book 4.5 stars!

Dang I was guessing all the way to end on this one! In the first few chapters I fell in love with not only the main characters but all the secondary characters too. I was so surprised with who it is that I couldn't contain it, that I had to share the story with my hubby.

This is the first book in the Sydney Brothers books and I can honestly say I can't wait until then book comes out. This book will make you feel all the emotions and some you don't get from other books. The characters, storyline and emotions are so real and it's hard to put into words, what you will experience.

Harper is a independent business owner of café. She is the blacksheep of the family and has prided on herself that she doesn't need her parents wealth. Seth is one of 5 brothers who has went into business with his oldest brother Dyan. Dylan and Seth are in talks with selling their company with Stranton Fox. At a party is where Seth meets Harper and sees for the first time how her dad treats her. Seth feels something from just a touch. With negotiations going on his brothers are attack cyberly. Can Seth figure it out before Harper gets caught in the crossfire or will it be to late?

Craving Justice begins when Harper meets Seth at one of her dad's events. These two qucikly have a night of passion, but things start to go hay-wire when those intimate details, and more personal things about Seth's brothers are all posted on the internet where anyone can find them.

It gets worse when Seth learns secrets about Harper's dad, and when it seems like someone is targeting Harper. Harper's going to have to trust Seth or it may all go down hill.

This book was a great start to this series. I really enjoyed the story line and all of the characters as well.
I loved how Seth and Harper were together. It really made the book that much better just seeing them to, and their relationship progress.

However, the one down side is I hated that we didn't get more information about Harper's dad and stuff especially at the end, and knowing the next book is about another couple makes it seem like we won't get to view Harper's reaction to everyone that happens with her dad and how Seth knew some stuff.

But, other than that I thought this book was really good. It had some action, suspense, tons of romance and a great heroine and hero.

This is the first book I have read by Fiona Archer and it certainly won't be the last, I was hooked from the first chapter. Now the hard part putting words on paper to describe what this book did to me.....
Four teenagers living on the streets of Australia not related by blood but brothers none the less, they are adopted brought to the USA and given the surname of Justice. They turn their life's around and become successful but just when they think the past is behind them it comes right back to threaten their future. Seth Justice meets Harper Fox whos father is trying to buy the Tech company the brothers built and that's when the threats begin..... The brothers and Harper need to band together to see just who is threatening them.....
The characters are strong and have depth, once you add the quirky Harper to the mix you get a fantastic read. Seth is one sexy alpha male and the chemistry between him and Harper is sizzling, they also have a lot in common even down to their love of Italian food. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and I can't wait for more from The Sons of Justice.

Craving Justice is my first read by author Fiona Archer and if she keeps this up, she'll fast become an auto-buy for me. The story had me glued to my kindle from page one. It was fast-paced and suspenseful and very intriguing.

Our leads, Seth Justice and Harper Fox were both really well developed as individuals and their journey was unfolded perfectly. Harper was a lot of fun to read and Seth just made me tingle and swoon all over the place. Put them both together and they made for some scorching sparks! Their sexual chemistry was ridiculously HOT with just the right amount of kink :)

The mystery/suspense in the story-line actually had my curiosity peeked till almost the very end. I actually didn't see the end result coming until it was in my face. I like that. I like it a lot. It's always good to keep the reader guessing ;)

I really like this author's style and voice. I hope to read a lot more of these secondary characters soon because the glimpse I did get, has me intrigued already!

[Karen Roma · Rating 5 out of 5]

Craving Justice is a thrilling, suspense novel bursting with mystery, betrayal, some sassy banter and a large serving of hope. This passionately written story shows that the family your born into, doesn’t necessarily define the person you become.

Powerful world building with a gripping storyline that keeps the reader engaged throughout, and strong, charismatic characters with a myriad of personalities combine to make this an edge of your seat, exciting read.

And while the schedule of events evokes deep emotion and reveals deeply embedded jealousy, it also provides quirky, light-hearted dialogue and many opportunities to smile and occasionally laugh out load in some circumstances.

Having previously read the original version, I can honestly say that Craving Justice is just as good the second time around.

[The Book Fairy Reviews · Rating 5 out of 5]

Seth Justice and his brother are gonna hit it big, they just need to seal the deal. What Seth didn't bargain for was falling for the daughter of the man he was making the deal with.
Danger and love are what this book is about. Oh throw in 4 Aussie men and you have a book that will melt you into s puddle.
Intrigue, someone is trying to sabotage not only Seth's deal but break his heart as he attacks all of the brothers and Seth's girl, Harper.
The men in this book are both scary and sexy, I mean you are gonna want to have them in your corner and on your side or you know any other place because these men are loyal and love hard.
The Sons of Sydney have a new fan and I can't wait to read about Heath next!

DNF! - It did not grab my interest very early on so I gave up at 25%.

[Payne’s Bookworm Reviews (Samantha Payne) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Craving Justice by Fiona Archer is book one in the Sons of Sydney Series. Fiona Archer is a new author to me and all I can say is I was not disappointed. I will definitely be reading more of Fiona’s work and look forward to it.

Craving Justice follows Seth Justice and Harper Fox’s lives. This book has it all a whirlwind romance, kidnaping, betrayal, jealousy, identity theft and lots more.

Who would have thought a boy that was a State of the Ward would end up being adopted by a rich American woman and have 4 adopted brothers (Dillon, Adam, Zach and Heath.) as well as a successful career. Seth has worked hard for his company Shazad to be successful. When he’s hard work is about to pay off by brokering a deal to sell to the CEO of Brooke-Porter Digital’s, he never thought that his life as he knew it would take a turn.

Harper is the owner of 7Dishes a little cafe that her father Stanton Fox does not approve of.

Betrayal is always hard but when it comes from someone you trust it hurts much, much more.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Seth and Harper’s story and was on the edge of my seat and couldn’t wait to turn each and every page to find out what was going to happen. It was really hard for me to write this review as there was so much I wanted to put in it but it was soooo hard without putting spoilers in it and ruining for any readers that haven’t read it. I loved the Justice Boys, the back and forth banter between them has me giggling at times when it was a little tense in the book. I am so excited to know that the boys stories ain’t ending and will be continuing with Heath’s story next in Tempting Justice.

*re-release of 2016 story, and just as good as the first time round*

Craving Justice isa fast paced ,edge of your set, suspenseful story that had me hooked right from the get go. 4 hot Aussies in Seattle (they don't have accents by the way, the rest of the people do). Alpha. Uber protective. Family.

This is the first in the Brothers of Justice series and is Seth Justices' story. And the woman who knocks the breath out of him, Harper Fox.

From the first word to the last I was taken along on one heck of a ride as forces conspire to ruin Seth and his family.

The story took a turn that took my by surprise. I had an inkling about something early on in the piece but when we learned more...

BOOM! HEAD EXPLODED!

Craving Justice is intense, full of questions that will have you wondering whodunnit.

And it will leave you craving more of the Justice brothers.

What a great start to a series! This book was everything I was hoping for, it had hot, sexy, possessive alpha males and a funny, quirky leading lady! Once I started it was so hard to put down, I was captivated and intrigued and a little bit afraid to find out who was targeting Seth and his brothers. I cannot wait to read more about these Aussie brothers in the books to come... Awesome series can't wait to see what Tempting Justice has to offer!!

There is some suspense in this book, but it’s mostly romance (no complaints here). The sexy scenes, though…are REALLY sexy. Guess I should have expected that (based on the author's other books). I still enjoyed the book, though, and I may end up reading the others in the series. I just got to remember how sexy they are before I pick them up to read!
