The Guardian (O'Malley, Bk 2)
reviewed on + 20 more book reviews


The whole O'Malley series of suspense / romance is terrific! Seven adults who grew up in an orphanage together "adopted" each other and formed their own family. As adults they legally changed their name to O'Malley, and are tightly bonded. This one is about big brother Marcus, a federal marshall charged with security for a legal convention at which several federal judges are present. Without advance notice, the White House puts one of them on the short list for a new Supreme Court Justice, and Marcus' job grows exponentially more difficult. A judge is murdered, and Marcus must protect the only eye witness of the crime - a charming, politically savvy (female and single!) speechwriter for the Governor of Virgina, whose parents were best friends with the murdered judge. You'll meet all the other O'Malleys, too, and want to read the other five books in the series.
