This is a great collection to start this series!

Susan Stoker writes books that touch on social issues that can be very uncomfortable. She does this to bring light into the darkness that is our world today.

This series is about a group of First Responders in San Antonio Texas. You meet police and firefighters and the women (and men) they fall in love with.

Erin Mallon does a phenomenal job of bringing these characters to life. You always know who is speaking, regardless of there being 2, 5, or 15 characters in the scene. How she does this is pure magic!

A REALLY ENJOYABLE BUNDLE

What a great bundle of ‘badge’ books this was.. sexy heroes who instantly know what (.. or rather who) they want and don’t stop until they get her, quirky, strong, loving heroines with realistic bodies and entertaining and exciting plots that start off sweet but turn deadly as the suspense and danger levels rise. There’s a whole lot packed into each story.. and there’s different feels from each.. but I did have two favorites from the four. However, my personal hero was Erin Mallon who single-handedly brought a multitude of varied characters to life, gave impressively believable male voices and didn’t hold back with the inflections as each dual POV storyline hurtled its way to the intense climactic drama before its HEA ending.

Worth a credit? Yes.. this is a great way to package the series and I can’t wait to see if they’ll do it with books 5-8 because then you get a lot for just one credit.

Erin Mallon is the BEST!

~~~Book 1~~~

1) Erin Mallon can make most audiobooks better by at least 25%.
2) I loved Mack, but her rambling started to work my last nerve after a couple of hours. Still enjoyed listening and I will buy the other boxed sets.
3) Okay, back to Erin. Her male voice is so good I often forget it’s her.
4) Can anyone else hear a radio playing in the background? At first I thought it was my clock radio, but I’m listening with Bose QC35 noise canceling headphones. Max out the volume and tell me if you can hear it. NEVER MIND—The geeks of the interwebs say that my headphones are picking up low frequency radio signals.
5) Have I mentioned that I LOVE Erin Mallon’s work? Well, I do.

good story line

to much sex ..every chapter sorry I purchased this set, I can finish first book

Where’s the romance??

This is the first series book I could barely finish the first story let alone the entire series! It was very vulgar no romance at all. Loved her other series but this one I’m going to have to return... sorry

A wonderful beginning..

Justice for Mackenzie

Dax and Mac make a great couple. She was sassy and goofy all at once. I was hanging by a thread when she was abducted..great suspense. This is book one, so the setup of all of the friends ha started. There are a lot of names and titles to keep track, but so far, I’m loving this group of law enforcement/ medical personnel. Great read.

Justice for Mickie

I did not like this one. The story was good and I get it, but the language was too much, Mickie’s sister was a pain, Mickie’s was too naive for her own good and I couldn’t believe that Cruz would put himself in such a position. This story was gritty and dark. I couldn’t wait for it to be done, but I appreciated connection between Cruz and Mickie and how his friends came through for him when it was all said and done.

Just for Corrie

Quint and Corrie were absolutely adorable. He was so enthralled with her and her abilities. Corrie gave us a heroine that was different than the others. It made you proud of her and how she took on her captures. It was a shame that her friends paid a higher price than she did, but she still showed remarkable strength and Quint showed that he was just the rock she needed. Thoroughly enjoyed the story, even with more of the harsh language.

Justice for Laine

Laine and Wes had instant connection and lust. They connected quick and deep and I loved it.

I couldn’t believe how careless Laine was, especially in her profession, but how else would we have had a chance to get the entire gang together again. This one was a quick read and equally as enjoyable.

For this who read any of the Delta series, Tex is here too. That man is everywhere.

Enjoy!

Worth the purchase!

The book is slow at first. But hang in there, the adventure is just about to begin. I finished the book in 2 days. I just couldn’t put it down. This is the first time listening to any of this author’s work. I just purchased 2 more from this series. I can’t wait to start them!

A full pack of goodness!

This was a nice collection from Susan Stoker. I loved all her stories---I have Mackenzie's ebook and audio, have read/listened to it several times 'coz, wow!

This one made me go through a roller-coaster of emotions, with Mac, then Mickie's story (I cried, dang it!). Corrie was like bite-my-nails good, and I loved how Susan Stoker showed us that courage and determination will always, always, triumph over doubt, insecurities, confusion and fear.

Laine's story was refreshing, in that her conflict was not necessarily man-made. Here Susan Stoker gave us a light read, yes, but it does not even take away from the rest of her Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes series.

Lastly, Erin Mallon's performance was, and as always, perfectly spot on! Thank you for narrating Susan Stoker's stories!

love this series

The first book in this bundle just about killed me, I almost didn't continue but I'm glad I did. Susan Stoker pulls you so far into the story that it feels like your one of the characters so when something bad happens it feels like it happened to one of your close friends or family members. Each story will keep you on the edge of your seat but don't fear each book has a HEA. Erin Malone did a wonderful job narrating these stories which added to the feeling that you were there with the rest of the characters. I would recommend this to everyone.

Good story, but poor narration.

I loved the stories, but the narrator spoke to fast. Also, the male voices mostly sounded like a teenage boy whose voice was changing. It didn't fit with the big, tough hero image of the characters.
