marc hunter was equally as hot a hero as Julian Darkangelo was. I loved his vulnerability as well as his protectiveness for the women in his life. I felt the bad guys went down way too easy but the bonds that came out of this story were amazing. 
 (view spoiler)[ my heart dropped when the judge said "guilty" but it all worked out and This is one of my favorites in the series (hide spoiler)] 
 story 3.5 
 narrator 4
