Summary
She's shy, he's stoic...not the hardest personality traits to overcome, but Sophie Carson and Roman "Chief" Proudfit have their work cut out for them.
Sophie has a crush on the silent-but-studly firefighter next door. She's been pining away silently while secretly helping the hardworking man by mowing his lawn - which he thinks is being done by her nonexistent husband and/or boyfriend. He's definitely not big on neighborly chitchat, but with her stutter, that suits Sophie just fine. But now a misunderstanding at a bar has put him even further out of her reach.
Roman's difficult upbringing on an Indian reservation is a sore spot, so when he thinks Sophie is taking advantage of poor people for medical trials at her workplace, he lets her know exactly what he thinks. But when he discovers he misunderstood, he's man enough to admit it...and also that he should have opened his eyes to his beautiful, sensitive neighbor sooner.
As the couple gets closer, each helping the other overcome lifelong pains, for the first time in years, Roman has something to live for other than his job. And, as he discovers when Sophie puts herself in danger, something even bigger to lose....
Shelter for Sophie is the eighth book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

Shelter for Sophie
Once again Susan Stoker has outdone herself!! By creating kickass characters she once again reaffirms the message that love conquers all and that everyone deserves to be loved.
I absolutely adored the main characters Sophie and Chief and their frank and open relationship. Stokers creation of Sophie as a heroine who can hold her own but yet at the same time can be vulnerable and exposed with her man is inspiring. How Sophie interacts with those around her both burn victims and the homeless made me love her even more. The glimpses of how the homeless and burn victims live adds another interesting dimension to the story and gives an insight into worlds I had not experienced before. I also loved the insights into the lives of characters we've met previously and cannot wait for Conor + Erin's story!!! Without a doubt a must read!!!

Loved
I did enjoy listening to Erin Mallon
Sophie has had a crush on the firefighter next door since she moved in but Chief keeps himself to himself and doesn’t really notice Sophie, assuming she has a boyfriend/husband anyway.
Chief overhears a conversation between Sophie and her friends and a misunderstanding follows, once he realises his error he goes to Sophie's place of work and apologises and the two of them start to get to know each other.
Chief grew up on and Indian reservation and Sophie grew up with a stutter that is still part of her life.

Another lovely read
I love Susan Stoker. The books always have good characters in them and the female roles within are not just the archetypal pretty girl/perfect girl. I'm a sucker for a happy ending and I love that there are intermingling stories within the series you can follow.

Good start, but went downhill towards the end
I really liked 2/3 of this story. Chief and Sophie's building relationship was delightful, although she was so sweet it was a bit sickly at times. However, the supernatural elements didn't work for me. I have no issue with Navaho culture and beliefs and I enjoyed Chief's explanations of his culture and how it shaped him. However, when it started manifesting physically, it didn't work. This series is a romantic fantasy, but it's set in the real world. I couldn't suspend my disbelief and it threw me out of the story.
The narration is excellent and EM does a great job of making Sophie's stutter sound natural.
