Standalone book 3 of the Men of Hidden Justice series. While it is not necessary to read these books in order, it is recommended for a better reading experience.

When Tally stumbles into his office, young and beautiful, Julian knows she will be trouble. But he can’t seem to turn her away. He sees pain in her eyes that pull him in and make him feel protective of her. As they get closer and Tally starts to reveal pieces of her past, explaining her need to feel protected… Julian uses his contacts to make sure her past isn’t still chasing her. When a missions injuries threaten Julian’s life and everything he’s been trying to shelter Tally from comes barreling down… Tally runs.

Dawn: A great third edition to the Men of Hidden Justice series. These men are hard on the outside but on the inside, so protective and caring for the special woman in their lives. Melanie Morelands books are always worth the read. Her characters are always interesting. I havent read a book I didn't enjoy of hers.

Trina Smusic Patterson: From start to finish, The Commander owned me! Melanie Moreland continues her streak of writing characters that are so well developed you get caught up in their story.

I'm a lover of series and often seek out stories that satisfies this love. I feel that Melanie Moreland is best at creating series, mostly because she makes each story of the series function well as a stand alone story. The Commander is no different!

As the third book in The Men of Hidden Justice series, I got the continuation I crave, but never once would l have missed out if I had not read the other two stories in the series. However, having read the other stories, I knew to expect a great story, and I was right! This story was a slight departure from the other two in the sense that Tally came into his life in a different capacity.

Where the other two stories clearly featured women who were strong but needed to be rescued from the life around them, Tally came to him in search of a job that even Julian agrees she shouldn't have. From the .moment he met her, he couldn't let her out of his life. This was evident by his thoughts when he met her..."I couldn't stand to see her walk away. I couldn't...

Pamela Waddell: Just so you are aware. I'm not a huge fan of Mafia type stories, so I would not normally choose to read this book. But I am a huge fan of Melanie Moreland and her writing.
This series is set in the world of Hidden Justice, an under ground agency set up to rescue victims of organised crime & deal with the organisation behind the atrocities. Just like all the stories in this series The Commander is relationship driven & the setting is the scaffolding. By that I mean it's not the the focus, so if like me you're not a Mafia romance fan you are still going to love reading The Commander.
Julian, The Commander, he's in charge, running the operation. He is a very alpha male. Very in control, passionate, protective, detail oriented. Just hawt!
Taliyah Wells is trying to make her dreams come true. To make something of her life after a traumatic, sad start. Tally is a strong, independent woman alone in the world until she bursts into Julian's office to interview for the secretarial post.
When Julian lets his heart rule his head, something he's never done before, and offers Tally the post. His whole well controlled exterior begins to crack.
I can't tell you how much I...

Zetti: Julian did it – he fell which felt so much more sweeter because of how he ‘scoffed’ at Marcus and Matteo falling in love and leaving. This book ended in such a way that it feels complete. It feels like we’ve come full circle. Julian got his ending the same way that Marcus and Matteo got theirs.

I love that this book is full of history about Julian and Tally – it really gives the story more depth and helps us to understand them both on a deeper level. It was genuinely really fun to read.

This story is full of steam, angst, romance and drama. It is definitely not one to miss!
