Book Description

Publication Date: March 13, 2007

Rugged Texas Ranger Cole McKinney, abandoned by his father, hated the thought of helping his half brothers. Also Rangers, they'd called him back to Justice, Texas, to help solve two murder cases—cases with their father as the prime suspect. Solving these crimes could help mend the wounds of Cole's past. Maybe even clear his so-called father's name—

Gorgeous, curvy and whip-smart, Joey Hendricks came to Justice as the governor's special investigator. Working the cases with Cole caused their emotions to burn so hot, a ifery night in bed might be their only release. But Joey's own family secrets in Justice could blow her one chance for love— and these murders—sky high.

Texas Ranger Cole McKinney is known for his tracking abilities in the Rangers. But, he is also known as the half brother to the McKinney brothers of Justice, Texas who was abandoned by his father. This assignment is not one that will be easy as he has never seen his father face to face and part of his job will be to find evidence that will either convict or clear the same man. At least he finds a gorgeous leggy blond on his first night in town, even if she almost caused him to trash his bike.

Joey Hendricks has a lot to prove when she comes back to Justice. First, she wants to prove that she is good at her job and as special investigator for the Governor, she is also hoping that she will be able to help solve the murders that started long ago during the same time as her baby brother disappeared. But, what will happen if it turns out to be one of her parents, who are the prime suspects? Will she be able to accomplish her goals and fend off the sexy Cole, while all she can think about is him?

Now, suddenly it appears that someone is trying to kill Joey and Cole is learning just how much he cares for her and wants her safe.

Justice For A Ranger is the fantastic conclusion to the Silver Star of Texas series and the best one yet. I was very intrigued by a series being written by three different authors and how their style might either draw me into the stories or turn me off. What I found is that the series was so well written that I was quickly drawn in. I do have to mention that while all the main characters were in law enforcement I was a little disturbed in this story by how they were all allowed to investigate a set of murders they were all connected to. But, at least Ms. Herron tried to explain this phenomenon in Justice For A Ranger. I was drawn into Ms. Herron's characters and writing style at the beginning and enjoyed the book immensely. You could easily Justice For A Ranger as a stand-alone book but when you can have multiple sexy Texas Rangers why settle for one? Pick up the series.

This review is from: Justice For A Ranger (Harlequin Intrigue #977; The Silver Star of Texas #3) (Mass Market Paperback)

Justice for a ranger is a great book to read. If you like reading about romance and supense at the same time. I had a hard time figureing out who was the killer. Until almost at the end of the book. What I like about it also was that the author Rita Herron use her female chacter as she could take care of herself but yet it would be nice to have some one to lean on when the time get hard since as girl the charcter did not have that growing up. With the male charcter like how she use him to show to his half brothers that he was just as good as ranger like they were and he was not going any where until the case was sloved and he could figure out were he belonged.

This was the first Harlequin romance I had read for a while, and it didn't disappoint. The h/h were just flawed enough to be realistic, yet truly likeable. Very good balance of suspense, conflict, and romance. This book is perfect for anyone who enjoys romantic suspense, rugged, yet sensitive heros, and strong, yet vulnerable heroines.
