Lone Star Standoff

Being a judge over a trial for a drug cartel member is not an easy thing. It's dangerous! Some people think that being a judge is a piece of cake but we find out in this book that it can be a danger to yourself and your family. I gained a new appreciation for judges, even though I already had a lot! Aubrey had already lost her husband to murder 2 years previously but needed to work to support her young twins so went back to work as a judge. This case against a powerful drug cartel member case comes before her and she wants it to be quick and correct but she doesn't know it's going to tie back to her husband's murder AND endanger her & her children! Sean McNair is a Texas Ranger and he's also lost a member of his family to the cartel. He's going to protect Aubrey when her life is threatened and make sure this cartel member's trial takes place. That turns out to be difficult as many things happen to try to derail the trial that keep Sean and Aubrey on their toes. As with all Margaret Daley stories, this one keeps you reading quickly until the last page to see how it all turns out! Fantastic characters and story!

This novel is packed with suspense, drama, mystery and romance. Aubrey Madison finds herself as judge in a major trial. When her life is in jeopardy she must rely on the handsome Texas Ranger, Sean McNair, to help her stay alive and maybe solve the mystery about who killed her husband years ago. I love the connection and sparks between Sean and Aubrey. There are many twist and turns in the novel. I look forward to reading more from the Lone Stare justice series.
