Sheriff's Deputy Hayden Yates has worked hard to gain the respect and admiration of her fellow law enforcement officers. She's succeeded so well, in fact, that she's become just one of the guys. As her friends slowly begin to meet their soul mates, Hayden longs to be seen as a desirable woman, and not the tomboy she's always been.
No slouch when it comes to attracting the opposite sex, cowboy Boone Hatcher might want to give it a rest for a while, especially after his last girlfriend accuses him of domestic abuse. Deputy Yates sees right through his ex's ruse—and Boone sees right through Deputy Yates. Hayden might seem all business, but her need for justice comes from a heart that beats with pure passion.
A few dates turn into something more, and as the couple's relationship deepens, so do the threats from his ex. It's up to Hayden to convince Boone the danger is real…before jealous antics escalate to deadly obsession.
** Justice for Boone is the 6th book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.
Review of Justice for Boone, by Susan Stoker
4.5 Stars
Justice for Boone, is the story of the romance of Hayden Yates and Boone Hatcher. As I've come to expect from Susan Stoker, it was incredibly well written, entertaining and engaging. This story is full of heart, and has a great mix of suspense and action balanced out with sweet moments and romance.
Hayden Yates is a wonderful heroine. She has a tough as nails exterior, that she portrays to everyone around her but is really insecure with her femininity and struggles with showing her feminine side. She is incredibly stubborn, intelligent, strong and independent . She craves affection and love, from someone who will respect her and love her for herself.
Boone Hatcher is a cowboy and a complete gentleman in every aspect of the word. He's a tad domineering, protective, sweet, kind, very moral and honorable and above all quite a sexy alpha.
This is an intriguing story starting out with the point that not all is as it always appears, and that victims of domestic violence are not always female.
Boone and Hayden share an instant attraction and chemistry and there are plenty of sweet moments shared between the couple as well as action and suspense.
I loved how characters that have appeared previously in this series appeared so seamlessly within the story line. Although this is the sixth book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes series, it can easily be read as a standalone. For fans of romantic suspense I thoroughly recommend Justice for Boone.
