Lone Star Standoff is exactly the type of story I hope to discover every time I pick up a Love Inspired Suspense book. Fast-paced and action-packed, it’s suspenseful from start to finish.

When the cartel-related case over which she’s presiding puts the lives of Judge Aubrey Madison and her family in jeopardy, Texas Ranger Sean McNair can’t help lending his protection. Naturally, chemistry is evident between the two, but will they survive the dangerous threats to discover what the future holds?

Margaret Daley delivers this story with enjoyable twists and turns, plus heartwarming romance and necessary cute, light moments. I had fun reading it (even though I haven’t read the rest of the series) and recommend it to readers in need of quick suspense.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own. ( )

I used to read this line of books on a regular bases. For a mystery/suspense fan, this was the line of books to read. It had a little bit of everything. Thus, while it has been a long time, it is like coming back home.

Aubrey is great. She was thrown everything from a dead rat to a snake. Yet, she may have had her nerves rattled but she did not cower. She stayed strong. Of course, she had help in the form of sexy, and strong Sean. He was her guardian angel. There were sparks between these two. It was steamy. Aubrey and Sean were great but Aubrey's two twin children Sammy and Camy did steal a little of the spotlight with their cuteness. Cute children make for an enjoyable read.

Back to the overall story. There was plenty happening within the pages of the book to keep it interesting. In addition, to the fact that I really liked all of the characters, made for a fast read. ( )
