Summary
Federal Judge Tom Brewer is finally putting the pieces of his life back together. In the closet for 25 long years, he's climbing out slowly, and, with the hope of finding a special relationship with the stunning Mike Lucciano, US Marshal assigned to his DC courthouse. He wants to be out and proud, but he can't erase his own past, and the lessons he learned long ago.
A devastating terrorist attack in the heart of Washington, DC, and the capture and arrest of the terrorist lead to a trial that threatens to expose the dark underbelly of America's national security. The Russian president is gravely injured and fixated on revenge, while a gay Russian dissident is arrested and put on trial in Judge Tom Brewer's courtroom. As Russia beats the drums of war and the United States struggles to contain the trial before it races out of control, secrets and lies, past and present, collide in his courtroom, before his bench.
With the world's attention fixed on Tom and this case, secrets from his past explode during the course of the trial, which place him at the very center of the case and make him the only man who can try to stop the world's slide into war.
Contains mature themes.

Excellent mystery with multiple POV
I wasn't sure what to expect as ive only read Tal's sports romances before but it was brilliant. Lots of twists and turns in this political mystery and it had me wondering who to trust right to the end. 2 MMC but it often has the POV of others to give a new insight when needed. Joel was amazing as usual and I definitely recommend this book.

Wow just Wow
I don’t know what to say to do justice to this wonderful book. Joel Leslie took me on a magnificent journey through love, Political intrigue and spies. It was so hard to stop listening when real life pulled me away. It’s for books like these that I wish I could give a higher rating than 5 stars. Definitely one I’ll listen to over and over again.

Excellent story which twists and turns, performed brilliantly by Joel Leslie
This gay romance story touches some very poignant areas of queer history and portrays a man's struggle with his demons surrounding coming out. Add into this, a lethal plot with a current day story line, highlighting the struggles the gay community faces in Russia.
The story further develops into a court room drama, two gay men involved in a battle never previously seen, struggling to maintain the integrity of the judicial system, one man desperately protecting the other while his lover tries to keep their relationship private in a very public environment, meanwhile the world going crazy around them.
Great story brilliantly performed by Joel Leslie with his multi voice abi!ity. The characters come alive and the story narration paints a vivid picture of each scene as the story unfolds. A gay adult theme romantic story with a good court room drama.......

Courted by the Marshall
Epic tale, well drafted and crafted. Intelligent, well researched drama reaching from rainbows to raining gunshots.
My first time with this author, but for sure not my last. Nothing trite, or trashy here, just tasteful passionate lives entwined in a poignant political saga encompassing 30 years, with lots of humour thrown in to ice the cake. Great MM MCs you can respect and enjoy.
Couldn't stop listening.
Well done Audible, another gem (found by accident).

A really good listen
I enjoyed this book better than I have many other books and it has many good parts to enjoy. The court scenes are well written the love story is very good without being too descriptive, I thought the author gave it just the right perspective and there were a few surprises in the end. A thoroughly well written book. I hope the author writes more books in the same vein, not just one more but many.

4.5 stars good book
This was a good book, and got better as it went on. It’s more of a legal drama, with a lot extra, and was a different type of story in lots of ways to Tal Bauer’s “Enemies of the State: Executive Office Series” (that book is awesome by the way - get that even if you weren’t sure of this one). This story didn’t grip me by the heart as much, but despite that I got more into it as time went by and there was so much good stuff I couldn’t rate it a 4 as originally planned, so gave it 4.5. If you’re into legal dramas with lots of story outside the courtroom this book is awesome, but the action only came later on.

Fast paced read with brilliant audio
There’s audio narration, and then there’s Joel Leslie’s audio narration and the author/audio combination here was simply sublime. This was a long listen but I was completely immersed in the story during the whole tale. Leslie’s range of accents was again showcased here (although I wasn’t quite as keen on Kris’s voice as I was of Etta Mae’s!) and the non-dialogue elements were just as good and moved the story along at the right pace.
A brilliant listen, worth of revisiting in the future.
