A piece of advice if you are about to read Justice for Mackenzie, Susan Stoker’s first book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Series:
- Settle down and keep your mind clear of clutter;
- Share the book with a significant other, if possible; if not,
- Keep a box of tissues ready;
- Prepare to hug your loved ones.
Justice for Mackenzie is the story of Texas Ranger Daxton Chambers and Mackenzie Morgan, whom he apprehended on a traffic violation. Daxton falls for Mackenzie at a time when he and his fellow Rangers are tracking a serial killer targeting women.
Known as the Lone Star Reaper, the killer takes it on a personal level when he starts targeting women whose features look eerily similar to Mackenzie and it will be up to Dax and his friends to keep her safe.
This story kept me on tenterhooks from the first page to the last. I loved that I got to witness the relationship that built between Dax and Mackenzie; I blushed at times, feeling giddy and yes, even envious of the love between these two fictional characters. And of course, I loved the way Dax acted so possessive of Mackenzie!
I felt like I was right there with them in the story that when everything came to a head and Mackenzie’s life was hanging in the balance, I bawled. I cried for Dax, for his helplessness, I cried for Mackenzie in her struggle to survive.
And yes, my heart hurt even when everything settled down in the end.
Lesson here? Never take life for granted. Never, ever, trivialize relationships, for we honestly never know if and when everything and everyone we hold dear will be taken from us.
Above all, never, ever, take yourself for granted, because if you do, if you believe less of yourself, you may never be able to forgive yourself the moment that life demands that you do.
And oh, listening to the audiobook is a must. Let Erin Mallon lure you into Susan Stoker’s world. I promise, you will appreciate, and love, Dax and Mackenzie’s more with the expert narration of one of Susan Stoker’s best narrators!
