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.

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.

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.

Great start to this series!
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!!!

Must read
If you love romance and yet a mystery this is the book for you. I love Delores Fossen books, her characters come totally to life during the story. This story was a little different and not only was the H but the h was strong and can kick butt. The twist and turns of the book will keep you on your toes. The narration was good and was able to keep all the characters straight throughout the story.

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.
