ABOUT THE BOOK

Texas Ranger Brody Calhoun is with his parents in west Texas when an unexpected attack injures the brother of Rebecca Morgan, Brody's high school sweetheart. The local sheriff, a good friend, asks for Brody's help. At first, it seems like an open-and-shut case. However, as Brody digs deeper, he realizes the attack may be related to an organized crime trial Rebecca will be overseeing. With Rebecca's help, he compiles evidence which involves cattle rustlers, bribery, and dirty payoffs that shatter the entire community and put Rebecca directly in the line of fire.

My Thoughts: 

First of all, let me say that I love Margaret Daley and have for a long time. As a former first reader for Harlequin/Steeple Hill I read most of Daley's Love Inspired Suspense's. Until I received Scorned Justice to review I didn't realize she had a new line of books with Abingdon Press. Along with Scorned Justice I received Saving Hope to read. Both books were awesome. They had everything I love in a book, suspense, family drama, a bit of romance, and a handsome man of the law! 

In this series we meet some Texas Rangers that would make any woman feel safe. Daley weaves together a story so tightly wound with suspense and tension that I couldn't put either book down--I read both stories in a two day period. I hope this is a series she keeps going for a while as I can't get enough of these well developed characters.

FYI: The books are complete stand alone stories. You can read them in any order as they are not a continuation series.
