Shelter for Elizabeth (Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes #5) by Susan Stoker

 


Elizabeth Parkins lived through a nightmare come true - getting kidnapped by a serial killer. Seeking a fresh start, she moves to Texas, but escaping her demons proves impossible when she's too terrified to leave her own apartment. A small, accidental fire sparks a coping method she'd never expected, and brings an amazing man to her door. Shelter for Elizabeth by Susan Stoker was published in May 2016. This is book five of the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes. 

Out of all the books in this series this was one of my favorites. I loved that we get to meet Elizabeth again in this book and you see her happy ending. She deserves it with everything she was put through in Protecting Summer. Let's first talk about the characters in this book. I absolutely loved the character Summer. We know what happened to summer if you read when she was introduced in a side ways in the other book. But here we get to know all about her past and of course her future. You watch Elizabeth grow so much as her own self in this book and heck in the following books in this series. She becomes strong and really tries to be able to have a group of friends. She is very well rounded character and you just want to smother her in hugs. The other main character is Cade. Let me tell you that Cade just wants to send shivers down your spine. He's this loveable character who wants to do everything to protect Elizabeth and you find out he kind of understand because of his own sister. He has his own faults and he grows from that as well. But the way he supports Elizabeth is how every female wants to be supported. The plot in this story is so great and the two characters may like each other at first sight but they like everyone has ups and downs. They are both adjusting to each other in this book with a little drama here and there. I really like this book. I can't wait to read more books by Susan Stoker. 

Quotes I Liked 

"Using PenisGod isn't a good username for things like Amazon and eBay. And you really need to delete your craigslist account because calling yourself penis god is only attracting weirdos. You probably don't even remember you had that old ad up when you were trying to sell your bicycle. Well, it's one of the most clicked - on ads on the site for San Antonio. I'm not exaggerating either. You had four hundred and sixty-nine messages - and I'm not even going to comment on the sixty-nine thing. But three hundred and fourteen of those contained pictures of men's dicks. Fifty-seven were from women who were interested in a three-some with you, fifty-five were spam, people trying to get you to click on links or buy some crap product, and the remaining sixteen emails were religious in nature, telling you to repent for your soul." "I should probably be pissed you got into my account, but I trust you, so I'm not. But it's not penis god!" Penelope exclaimed huffily. "It's Pen IS God." Cade burst out laughing "Seriously, sis? Penis god? Just wait until the guys hear this!"

Protecting Summer (SEAL of Protection #4) by Susan Stoker

 



At age fifteen, Sam "Mozart" Reed's life changed the day his little sister was found abused and murdered. Since her death, he's spent his life hunting for the serial killer who took his sister from him and ruined his family. Using his connections, and SEAL training, Mozart believes he's finally tracked the killer to the town of Big Bear, California. Summer Pack is working in a crappy motel up at Big Bear Lake until she can find something better, more meaningful, more real. While living in an unhealthy situation, she meets a man who is everything she's dreamed about. Protecting Summer by Susan Stoker was published in February 2015.  This is book four of the SEAL of Protection series. 

Ahh...this is such a cute story with a lot of backstory for Sam. I felt like I was really getting to know Sam's backstory a lot more then the others on his team. I also fell in love with Summer. How she was really trying better herself. I really love how it was not an instant connection but yet Sam felt the need to protect her from the beginning. I really enjoyed this way and felt terrible for some of the not much known characters in this book.
