Summary

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.

Firefighter Cade "Sledge" Turner's idyllic life ended the day his sister was kidnapped. Now he knows firsthand that tragedy can befall anyone, at any time. Meeting Elizabeth on the job was a gift. Cade can envision spending his life with this woman. He understands what she's been through, is willing to help her heal...though even Cade is unaware of Beth's new secret obsession.

As Beth takes steps to help herself heal, and Cade attempts to earn her trust and prove his own, they're both about to be tested - in a way that could see everything they've worked for go up in flames.

Shelter for Elizabeth is the 5th book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

Disappointing

Spoilers









I struggled to suspend my disbelief with this one. SS's handling of Beth's agoraphobia was well done, but the firestarting made no sense when her torture included burns. On top of that, only a complete idiot would think of fire as something that can be easily controlled, especially when it was a kitchen fire that caused her to meet Cade in the first place. Considering that she's supposed to be highly intelligent, it's not plausible that she would think that there's no problem with constantly setting fires as a coping mechanism.

I really liked Cade, but I didn't feel the relationship worked very well. I felt for the trauma Beth had been through, but my sympathy was rapidly eroded by her actions - particularly when she lied to Cade. She knew he wouldn't approve and lied to his face instead of admitting to what she was doing.

The narrator was OK, but not great, especially when compared with Stella Bloom's narration of SS's other series.
