Review – Scorned Justice

Margaret Daley in her new book, “Scorned Justice” Book Three in The Men of the Texas Rangers Series published by Abingdon Press gives us a contemporary adventure with The Texas Rangers.

From the back cover:  Can love survive when everything else is blown apart?

When Texas Ranger Brody Calhoun is called to investigate an attack that has  injured the brother of Brody’s high school sweetheart, Rebecca Morgan, he thinks it’s an open-and-shut case.  But as Brody digs deeper, he realizes the attack may be related to an organized crime trial Rebecca will be overseeing. With Rebecca’s help, he compiles evidence of cattle rustling, bribery, and dirty payoffs which shatter their entire community and puts Rebecca directly in the line of fire.

Brody expects to protect Rebecca. But he never expects to fall for her all over again, or for a murder to throw the case wide open. Is Brody’s faith strong enough to withstand not only deep-rooted corruption and cattle rustling but also love?

I like stories that involve The Texas Rangers.  It does not matter to me what time period the story takes place in just so that it involves them.  There is a certain personality to this group that captures my attention.  Let me say this right off, Margaret Daley does not disappoint!  I also think that “Scorned Justice” is her best work yet.  Ms. Daley knows how to ratchet up the tension so that your nerves are strung tight as you work with Brody and Rebecca to break the organized crime ring that has had a death on their community.  “Scorned Justice” is a thriller as the characters are in deadly danger practically from page one.  “Scorned Justice is filled with intrigue, deceit, mystery, and deadly killers.  On top of everything Ms. Daley manages to weave a romance into this story that just captivates you.  She makes you care for all the characters and their journey.   This is also just plain fun and exciting as well.  Don’t start this book late at night because it will cost you sleep.  I look forward to the next book in the series.
