Good protector book

I liked the way the story was told. Bits of backstory woven in. The romance was nice, good spice, and a decent amount of suspense. A few twists added to it.

The narration was clear and well-done. I kept hearing background noise/feedback. It wasn't awful enough to deduct a star, but I wish it hadn't been there. Not something I've come across before.

Kept me listening!

I live in San Antonio and I love reading fiction based on this area. The story was interesting and it kept me listening to find out how it was going to end.

Lone Star Rescue is book #1 in the Hard Justice series. This is a new author for me and I really enjoyed the story and her writing style. Rafe is working for MAVERICK, but gets called in as a consultant for a cold case involving an old girlfriend. There is plenty of suspense and intrigue to keep you interested from start to finish. I can't wait for the rest of the stories for this group!

The narration was fabulous. Marcus Barton is a new-ish narrator for me, but I have love everything he puts his voice to. Spectacular job with every character. 5/5 stars!!!

Narrator Elevates Story to a Must-Listen Thriller!

Delores Fossen is a master at crafting heart-pounding romantic suspense, and Lone Star Rescue is no exception. This gripping story is packed with action, danger, and just the right amount of romance, keeping listeners engaged from start to finish. However, what truly elevates this audiobook to another level is Marcus Barton's exceptional narration.

Barton’s performance is nothing short of mesmerizing. His ability to bring each character to life—giving them unique voices, emotions, and depth—makes for an incredibly immersive experience. His deep, commanding tone adds intensity to the high-stakes action, while his softer, more nuanced delivery perfectly captures the emotional moments. Whether voicing the tough, determined hero or the strong yet vulnerable heroine, Barton makes every interaction feel authentic.

The pacing and inflection in his narration are spot-on, making even the smallest details feel significant. His ability to build suspense had me on the edge of my seat, and his portrayal of romantic tension added an extra layer of chemistry between the characters.

If you're a fan of romantic suspense and appreciate a narrator who truly enhances the storytelling, Lone Star Rescue is a must-listen. Marcus Barton’s talent takes this thrilling story to new heights—I can't recommend it enough!

Great romantic suspense

Special Investigator, Rafe is hired to consult in the discovery of bones thought to be those of his former gf…missing for over a decade. An explosion and discovery of a body ramps up the danger and suspense. Some tension between Rafe and childhood friend, Sheriff Bree lends to the romance. Great performance by the narrator! Enjoyable story.
