A gang war, police corruption, and a past they never knew they shared may steal their future.
Malco has it all, a home he built with his own two hands, a job he loves, and a family in the form of his colleagues at the Alliance Agency. When a friend comes to him for help finding some missing teenagers from the poorest areas of Miami, Malco finds himself drawn back into a world he’d thought he’d left behind when it took everything he loved from him—one of gangs and violence where only the strongest survive.
Frida has rebuilt her life, clawing her way up from a brutal past filled with bloodshed and betrayal. Now as one of the most gifted and sought-after lawyers in Miami, she is finally living the life she wants. When the police chief asks her to investigate a corruption case, she knows it will require her to dig into the depths of her past and stir up a hornets’ nest that could rip apart the very fabric of the justice system. What she doesn’t realize is that things are about to get deadly.
Running to the only people she trusts, Frida literally falls into Malco’s arms, the sexy former ranger who makes her body sing and her heart yearn for a future. They quickly realize their cases are linked and as they work them together secrets are revealed that may tear their fledgling relationship to shreds and change their lives forever.
Malco and Frida must confront their pasts and work together in a game of cat and mouse before bloodshed and violence erupts over Miami and more innocent lives are lost.
I am really enjoying the Alliance Agency series and look forward to more. This third book is about the romance of Malco and Frida, both of whom made appearances earlier in the series. Malco works at Alliance and Frida is friends with the owner. They get thrown together when something happens to Frida while she is investigating police corruption. The two find they have similar backgrounds and an incident from their teenage years that binds them to each other. Quite a bit of drama occurs, the bad guys are stopped, and Malco and Frida fall in love.
The only negative for me, which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5, is the time period of this book. The book was a good length, but the time period it covered was short. I expect novellas to cover days/few weeks, not a book this length.
I recommend this book and the others in this series.

This book is about a Miami lawyer named Frida who is working on a dangerous case involving gang war. She is in great danger and an agent from the Alliance Agency (named Malco) begins to protect her. They begin to realize that there is a corrupt police detective named Kasten who is working with the gang, as is the District Attorney himself. A whole series of events begin which involve the gang and the corrupt officials, with Frida and Malco trying to stop them and bring them to justice. There is romance, action, adventure, and plenty of suspense in a book that is well worth reading. I highly recommend it!

The Alliance Agency books are awesome, and each one becomes my new favorite. Maddie Wade and India Kells have come up with winning combination. As Lethal Justice proves, each book is a fast-paced, thrilling story that has you turning pages and wanting more. There is also a beautiful love story and compelling friendship among the team. You are going to adore Malco and Frieda. They are a powerhouse couple on a mission for justice. Their story is steamy and intense. This is a personal fight for both of them based in their pasts, and their song personalities mesh well. I can’t wait for more books! I loved Lethal Justice!

I highly recommend taking the time to read .
I really enjoyed this book. Romance, suspense and action - what’s not to love?
I haven’t read the first two books in this series, but wasn’t lost at all. The story centres around gangs and crooked cops, with Frida, a lawyer trying to stop them, and Malco, who comes to her aid in a time of need, and doesn’t want to let her go.
Frida and Malco both have complicated pasts, but it is something that brings them closer, rather than pushes them apart. I loved that even though both are very strong willed, they always tried to see things from the other’s perspective.
This was a great read! I need to go back and read the first two now!
I have to say this book was absolutely phenomenal and will keep you on the edge of your seat. I loved both the chemistry and the suspense of the book and the twist and turns of it. Trust me this is one book that will get you hooked from page one until the end. Malco Aguilar knows very well about gangs but when he is asked to protect Frida Montalvo a lawyer who has been getting a case together and is now being chased by men it takes everything malco and his team have to keep her safe but when her secrets come out can malco forgive her? Maddie this book was absolutely fantastic and blew me away.
There is never a quiet mission when you work for the Agency. Malco's suspicion and paranoia pays off when Frida makes a desperate dash (in her bare feet!). Security cameras were never so welcome. But even more importantly, he learns the lesson of letting someone else in: breaking down the barrier to his heart and opening up to new experiences. Frida's past comes to haunt her in this action packed and suspenseful mystery.
Lethal Justice is the third book in the Alliance Agency series. This book is one you can’t put down. Yes, I pulled another all nighter and I’m writing this review at 5:30am. It is filled with suspense, action and chemistry. Malco Aguilar and Frida Montalvo have met when Frida has done some legal work for Alliance but these two have a connection neither suspect and chemistry that is off the charts. Frida has been asked by the Police Chief to investigate some of his officers and the DA suspecting dirty deeds. Things get dangerous for Frida and she goes to the people she can trust and Malco is determined to make sure she stays safe while the team works to help her make the case.
I absolutely loved this book! This is the third book in the series. I was in the edge of seat from beginning to end. Malco and Frida have a beautiful chemistry. This series gets better and better. I adore this agency and characters! Great job Ms. Maddie and Ms. India! I absolutely recommend this book and series!
Frida, an attorney on the rise, is saved by Malco, an Alliance agent, when running from some intruders toward Alliance Agency. As the story progresses the past packs a punch, the present brings danger, and solving the case does not guarantee a happy ending. Maddie Wade and India Kells have created a thrilling addition to their joint creation of the Alliance Agency.
This is the third book in the Alliance Agency series. Maddie Wade and India Kells have both the competence the draw you In to a book at the very first page. something is happening and you immediately want to know what more is going to happen. This series is about a small group of military and seal men that are helping to fight crime and put the bad guys where they belong. Of course there is romance and suspense, and yummy guys . I highly recommend this series stat with book 1 Knight Watch.
Lethal Justice is edgy and gritty. It digs into the seedy underbelly of gangs and corruption. No one is safe from the effects of both as Malco and Frida race to bring the guilty to justice and save the innocent.
I admit this book tripped me up a bit. It's not as smooth a read as the previous book in the collab between Ms Wade and Ms Kells. The story was still gripping and enjoyable though and boy, did things happen fast with a lot of moving elements. I just noticed that as a collab this did not flow as well as I would have liked it to.
For some reason, my first impressions of Malco were all wrong. I thought he'd be the surly, broody, stoic type, but instead he's direct, honest, and surprisingly vulnerable at times. He's still a bada** operative and protective as all get out with Frida, but I like the way he and Frida communicated. There were a few tense moments, potential misunderstandings, but in general, Malco is an open, upstanding and honorable man. He even surprised me when he took charge and that first kiss knocked me off my feet. Yeesh, I was not expecting it at all. The man keeps surprising me.
Frida is one gutsy, smart woman. She's beyond brave and ballsy considering what she went through in her past, what she did to bring justice and closure for those she's loved and lost, and what she's doing now to bring an end to corruption with the law enforcement and legal system of Miami. I wish more heroines were like her. Reasonable. decisive, and maybe a little too willing to wade into danger for those she cares about.
Despite the book being a little rocky, I enjoyed it a great deal. As with all the other books, things happen fast here. Events unfold at lightning speed, danger threatens hard and fast, and so do Malco and Frida falling for each other. Some people might be bothered by how rushed everything seems but it doesn't bother me at all. It's romance and it's escapism. I'm willing to park my disbelief at the door and believe that you can fall in love in a few days and find the one you're going to spend the rest of your life with that quickly.
I'm still enjoying this series and this collab so I look forward to the next book.
Chief Randle comes to her to see if she would take on a case that may involve gangs, corruption within the DA’s office, and even his department. He was worried and he needed to cut off the head of the different snakes that were tearing his city down.
He knew of Frieda’s reputation and her tenacity in taking down the bad guys, and gangs and fighting for the underdogs. But, when on the same day that all the files arrive and she secures them in a full-proof room. Thank goodness, because as she gets home and the feeling of someone following her was right.
She grabbed her bag and bolted. She ran as fast and as hard as she could. Calling the only people she can think of. Shane and Emma of Alliance Agency. Only the one who answers the call that night, Malco. The calls kept dropping too. She at first only wanted to talk to Shane.
But, when she came into view of the cameras at Alliance it wasn't just her. Malco saw two hired gunmen right behind her. So, he directed her to the door to come to, so he could let her in, and an alarm would alert the whole team. When he saw her poor feet and saw she was the kick-ass lawyer that helped them a year ago, he fell head over heels.
I wasn't sure if I was going to like this one. Gang wars are too close to home in the US. As there is corruption, in some of the stations that wear the badge. Unfortunately, we have also seen a rise in open bigotry in all professions, and yes the law enforcement community. And Malco and Frida’s story revolves around all of that. But, I really, really, enjoyed the story overall.
This is a fast-paced book full of twists, turns, corrupt cops, corrupt DA, strong female lawyer, equally strong ex Green Beret, gangs, and an agency of people trying to stop the bad guys. This book will keep you on your toes and reading, as it just draws you in from page 1 and you don't want to put it down for anything. Seriously, I read it in a sitting as I could not stop reading it. The Chief of Police comes to Frida with some evidence and asks her to look into it for possible corruption. Little does Frida know that this has just put her in potential danger, but it doesn't take long for her to know this. So she goes to the people she knows she can trust for help and protection. Enter Malco who she has met before, but suddenly things seem much more intense between them. Little do they know the chemistry and sexual tension they feel is intense, but they are also intertwined in a way that no one would have ever guessed, and they share a past that is very similar. If this seem appealing to you, then run and pick this up and read it. I absolutely loved this book, and need to get caught up on the other works by India Kells and Maddie Wade. This book can definitely be read as a stand a lone, but you will probably understand the dynamics of some of the characters if you read it in series order.
Once again a wonderful romantic suspense in the Alliance Agency world These books are always full of suspense and drama and take you on a roller coaster ride This time Malco and FRida's past will give them the leads they need to take down corruption and gangs in Miami

Finding love born from the ashes of personal tragedy
Malco's found a second family with Alliance and second home in Miami. His family and home are threatened by a brewing gang war. Having lost his brother to gang warfare it's very personal for him. Frida is a local attorney asked by the chief of police to help root out corruption in the department. When she suspects she's being followed, she runs to Alliance for help and Malco is there. He's deeply attracted to the very capable and beautiful attorney who helped Alliance on a previous case. He immediately appoints himself her protector.

As the corrupt officials raise the stakes to stop her efforts, it will take all of Alliance to keep both of them alive. Along the way, Malco and Frida discover their mutual lust could be the beginning of so much more if the guarded operative and the workaholic lawyer are willing to take a chance. Bullets fly and their hearts race with adrenaline, lust and love.
I liked Frida she was a tough as nails Latin lawyer, with a brutal gang past that rebuilt her life into something to be proud of.
Malco was an injured veteran who was dealing with PTSD and found solace from his survivors guilt by mentoring youth with gang affiliations to leave that violent past behind them.
This is an insta-lust story which is fine, however no matter how well written this story was I found myself on the periphery and never became fully immersed. There are a lot of moving parts and the supporting cast for the most part was great. However for me at least it felt like the plot line from several police movies and shows were mashed together for this plot.
The nastiness of one of the main bad guys came across as pretty over the top and a bit predictable. There were a couple of twists but for me not enough for this book to really elevate itself to something that resonated.

Frida is a lawyer trying to put the bad people away. Malco is a police officer that is dealing with a lot of crap. Malco works at the Alliance. It’s safe to be in the building and working at the Alliance. The night Frida is home she’s being chased and fled to the Alliance agency to talk to her friends Shane and Emma. As they work together on a case they notice their case is dealing with the same components. It’s all about the dirty cops and DA that think they are untouchable. As Frida and Malco work together there are more ups and downs in the case. Malco is trying to be all manly and put his foot down but Frida won’t hear of it and will do as she sees. Working together to get the bad cops out of work the contention between Malco and Frida is off the charts. These to want each other but don’t know how to deal with everything going on. Will they end the case and be happily ever after?
Wow!! I just loved this book, it captured me from the first chapter. Although it is third in the Alliance Agency series the fact that I haven’t read the first two books didn’t ruin my understanding or enjoyment of what was going on, the fantastic team work and support from everyone in the Alliance Agency was evident throughout. This book is about Frida, a hot shot lawyer, and Malco, a seasoned operative with the Agency. They meet when Frida runs to the agency to escape an intruder to her flat, and Malco comes to her rescue. They work together to combat police corruption and gang warfare, and the chemistry between them is instantaneous and hot. The story is fast paced, full of twists and is a must read. (I am now going to order the first two books!)
This is the fourth book in the Alliance Agency series and last book in the box set. The good news is that the series isn't over. The slightly bad news is that this isn't one of my favorites. I still like it, but I personally am finding the stereotype of the evil white racist cop to be annoying. While they exist, there are also many, many good cops, and that seems to be overshadowed. Personal rant aside, this is Frida and Malco"s book. Both are fighting the ever problematic gang war in Miami along with corruption in the police department and DA's office. But someone doesn't want Frida investigating, so she needs the help and protection of the Alliance gang. This is still a good read and well written, just not a subject I prefer to read about. 3.5 Stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 1/2
Number 3 in the series and it really is a fast paced, action packed, hang on I just need to breath…..book. But I loved the chemistry between Malco and Frida and as they fight for justice and to stop history repeating itself its hard to put down. Its difficult to tell who writes each bit as they blend so seamlessly together and as a writing duo, I love what they are doing. There’s always action, more than before I think in tis book, lots of romance and sex and then some good old fashioned good over evil. Can’t wait for the next one! Thanks for letting me get my grubby mitts on the ARC 😊
Frida has taken on a case to prove corruption in the police department and district attorney's office in Miami. No one is supposed to know she is working the job. Malco works for the Alliance Agency and ends up working a case that might be connected to Frida's.
This was the first book in this series I have read but I really enjoyed it. Loved that both Frida and Malco have dealt with their traumatic pasts and moved on to make a difference. The authors brought a story that has heartbreak, romance and suspense. Lethal Justice pulled me in from the very beginning and I couldn't put it down. I am going to check out the previous books in the series.

Lethal Justice is the third book in An Alliance Agency Novel series and is an intriguing romantic suspense story.
I loved this story. Malco and Frida are strong, intelligent characters who have an unknown shared past, but do they have a future? This story is well written and kept my interest from start to finish with corruption, missing teenagers, secrets, suspense, intrigue, and a chance for romance.
I cannot wait for the next book in this series. I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.
Malco and Frida, two souls that connected right away and realized that they could not let a minute pass without acting on their feelings. They both grew up with the same childhood background and it's an astonishing coincidence that they find out. I loved the flaws and strengths in each character and I also loved the interaction of the Alliance Agency brotherhood. Definite page turner and definitely twists and turns. Didn't see them coming. I will definitely read more books in this series.
I received this readers copy in exchange for an honest review.
This was the first book of the series and by these authors, I have had a chance to read. It was so good. Full of suspense and intrigue. Frida and Malco had an almost instant attraction to each other but each fought it for their own reasons. Frida revealed a major secret about her life and Malco made the connection while keeping his own secrets.The suspense in dealing with the gangs, the corruption within the police, the local DA's office and the mole was can't turn the page fast enough over the top. I will definitely be reading more of this series. And more from these authors.
