Jordan’s Justice: A New Adult Sport Romance by T. Christensen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a continuation of the story of Tessa and Jordan, it is four years later and they haven’t seen each other since, but when they come face to face at a charity event hosted by the company she works for, Tessa cannot believe the Jordan is there as well and starts to panic while hoping that it is just an illusion. Tessa blows it off as nerves over the speech she is about to give to the attendees, but her boss keeps telling her that she doesn’t have anything to worry about, that people will see her passion for her job and as she finishes it, she realises that she was right and so she goes back to the table to eat her meal. Later on when she goes to the bathroom, but in the connecting corridor Jordan is waiting for her and blocks her path, but when he speaks, the tone of his voice and the words he is is saying contradict what she remembers and she cannot believe that theJordan she sees in front of her is the same one. As he speaks to her, he brings up a past event and how she is a hypocrite because of it, but mainly that he accuses her of taking money for keeping quiet about their past, of blackmailing his mother into leaving him and as he continues, she cannot cope with all the emotion and manages to get past him and leave.

When she gets home, she is comforted by the sight of her daughter, even though she is the spitting image of him, has his personality and loves the same things as him, so when she hears a knock on the door and realises it is Jordan, she tries to hide the apartment from him and goes outside to talk to him. She makes the excuse that he can’t come in because her mother is sick and has trouble sleeping, so when she does, Tessa doesn’t want to wake her, but when he threatens her job if she doesn’t turn up the next morning, to talk to him and as he leaves, she goes back inside and tries to come to terms with what has just happened and trying to figure a way out of this new crisis in her life. She does as he says and turns up for work where Jordan is going round the office, being led by her boss and introduced to everyone there, they are all fawning over him and when he sees Tessa, he makes a beeline for her, but she is thrown by his friendly attitude towards her when Laura introduces her and when Jordan brings up their joint pass, she is a little surprised, but nowhere near as surprised as he is when her boss lets slip about her daughter and it is at that moment when things change.

When Jordan whips her into a conference room and demands that she explains everything, she tells him the truth, but he doesn’t believe her and accuses her of manipulation and deceit, she tries again to explain her side, but realises that it isn’t worth it and he won’t listen, when he demands that she goes to dinner with him, he also threatens her with lawyers, but things are about to go from bad to worse when neither of them can keep their tempers and things stall when Jordan’s demands come up against Tessa’s devotion to their daughter, but will their butting heads cause them to argue to the point where one of them loses their daughter, or will they be able to come to an agreement and give their daughter the chance to know both of her parents properly? The only way to read through this emotional rollercoaster is to read through to the end as emotions run high and viewpoints and revelations are shared throughout.
