About this listen
Former Air Force Combat Rescue Officer, Rafe Cross, has seen it all, not only while in uniform but as an operative on the elite Maverick Ops security team that has a reputation of doling out hard justice. However, nothing could have prepared him for his current assignment in his hometown of Canyon Ridge, Texas. When bones are unearthed in a shallow grave, Rafe and the town's sheriff, Bree O'Neil, are convinced they've stumbled upon the remains of their long-lost friend, and the discovery not only threatens to tear the town apart, but it also spurs a killer to come after them.
Sheriff Bree O'Neil is a third generation cop who's dedicated her life to keeping her town safe. She's never let her guard down, until Rafe Cross comes crashing back into her life. With each passing day, their once-buried feelings for one another reignite, setting their world ablaze. But as they inch closer to the truth, a relentless killer emerges from the shadows, determined to bury the past and anyone who dares to uncover it.
Each book in the Hard Justice, Texas Series is a standalone story with a compelling mystery, no cliffhangers and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Story
K-9 officer Tarren McGregor never imagined that a cartel would find its way to Texas’s South Padre Island—or target his best friend’s sister. But when Julia Hamilton witnesses and prevents the kidnapping of a teen girl, Tarren knows that trouble is soon to follow. Because Julia didn’t just protect the girl—she saw the abductor’s face. Now she’s marked for murder, and it’s up to Tarren and his K-9 partner to keep Julia safe from the human traffickers in pursuit…even if it means putting themselves in the line of fire.

Story
Competing as a professional rodeo cowboy was everything he wanted. All that mattered. An opportunity he wouldn’t pass by. But it meant leaving his high-school sweetheart behind. Mae Wells was sweet, and innocent, and quiet. Not the kind of girl you dragged away from her family and home to follow you around the country. At eighteen it didn’t seem like a huge sacrifice. But at almost thirty, Boone’s lived enough and lost enough to realize he threw away something precious. Something he’s been chasing ever since.

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!
