About this listen
Former military special ops officer, Marco Morrelli, finds himself at the center of a deadly game. As an elite security operative for Maverick Ops, he thought he had left the battlefield behind. Little did he know that a faceless adversary, calling themselves "Your Biggest Fan," is systematically eliminating Marco's enemies and those who've crossed him.
Caught in the crosshairs is Rayna Brandon, a skilled operative in her own right who shares a turbulent history with Marco. Their paths collide once again when Rayna's name unexpectedly lands on the hit list, marking her as the next target. Forced to confront their past and set aside their differences, Marco and Rayna must join forces to unravel the mystery behind Your Biggest Fan and stop the deadly rampage.
Each book in the Hard Justice, Texas Series a standalone story with a nail-biting mystery, no cliffhangers and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Not so much.

Liv’s happy with life in her thirties. She has two cats, one BFF, and no boyfriend, which is just how she likes it. Plus, she loves working at a not-for-profit software company where she can be her authentically autistic self. This is her happy ever after. But when her beloved firm merges with a repulsive rival, Liv finds herself competing with her sort-of-ex for the top job. Sure, Finn had been Liv’s best friend, with his nerdy good looks and their shared love of Tolkien, but there was that one night, their song, and … well, she doesn’t like to talk about it.

Another awesome listen!
Maverick Ops special operator, Marco is returning from a mission when he discovers a body at his front gate…talk about a welcome home gift! A message reveals that this is a stalker’s way of exacting revenge on those whom have wronged Marco. Enter Marco’s ex…and fellow Maverick operator…Rayna. Of course this means that Rayna is in the stalker’s crosshairs…literally. Will fighting a common enemy rekindle the romance btwn this pair? Or will a madman succeed ins his mission? Props to the fantastic narration! The smooth and silky voice immerses you in the story ❤️
Now I’m invested in this series and need to go on to the next book! Each book can be read as a stand alone, but is more enjoyable when you know the backstories of each character.
I accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Second chance romantic suspense
Lone Star Payback is book three in the Hard Justice series featuring Maverick Ops. This story involves Marco and Rayna who are well acquainted with each other on and off the job. Now they avoid each other for reasons that you will discover by reading or listening to this book. There is a lot of action, drama, mystery, suspense and finally romance and love. This story was masterfully narrated by Marcus Barton. His portrayal of these characters was brilliant. He truly brought this story to life. I highly recommend listening.

Another winner!
Lone Star Payback is book #3 in the Hard Justice series. Marco Morelli and Rayna Brandon are co-workers, ex-lovers, and now forced together on a case. They must rely on each other and put aside their past hurts and regrets to survive a killer. What drove them apart will now bring them together. I absolutely love every book in this Texas-based romantic suspense series. Looking forward to more!!
Marcus Barton is forever the voice of Delores Fossen books for me. His timing and delivery of all the characters really brings the story to life. A favorite narrator for me. 5/5 stars!!
