Matthew "Wolf" Steel hated flying commercial. Luckily his job as a Navy SEAL meant he didn't have to do it very often. He'd been unlucky enough to be assigned a middle seat on the cramped jet, but fortunately for him, the woman next to him was willing to switch seats with him. Hoping for a relaxing flight, Wolf was pleasantly surprised at the good conversation and sense of humor the woman had as they flew 36,000 feet over the countryside.

This may be my toughest mission yet. None of my SEAL training or my time in the CIA has prepared me for this: a prickly, five-foot-nothing hellcat Jasmin Smith. She was mine. She can fight it all she wanted, but in the end, I would have her every way a man can have his woman. She was a sassy little thing, making me work to bend her to my demands. But I will! I will bend her and tie her to me so tight she would never be able to get free. Only problem is I had to break her first. I had secrets that she needed to know.

Summary
Discovering your ex is a serial-killing religious zealot would put anyone off dating for a good long while. That’s where Hudson “Taco” Vines’ head is at when he meets Koren, a woman who looks a little too much like his ex for comfort. But he can’t deny their attraction, and the more he gets to know her, the more Taco realizes how different Koren is from his ex, in all the best ways. It’s not long before he’s feeling things for her that he’s never felt for anyone, ever. After the drama of his last relationship, maybe this is his reward…a supportive, comfortable life with a woman he’s coming to love.
Koren Garner is no fan of drama, and it certainly seems Taco and his friends have all seen more than their share. So you’d think meeting him for the second time at the scene of her own car accident would be enough to warn her away. But Koren can’t resist the sexy firefighter. A little drama might be worth the risk…even when an unknown threat starts targeting Taco’s friends. Someone’s setting fires, and the danger’s escalating with each blaze. Koren and Taco can only pray the culprit is caught before their relationship - and their lives - go up in smoke.
Shelter for Koren is the 14th book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliff-hanger endings.

Loved it!
With every story, Susan Stoker (unlike other writers) manages to bring a fresh perspective, plot twist, or character's experience than we've seen from her before. You'd think such a prolific author's work would become dull, but that is absolutely not the case here. Our hero, Taco, is "one bitten, twice shy" in this suspense filled story. It's great to see the love and trust building between him and Koren, and there's a great plot finale!

I will never tire of Susan Stoker goodness.
Shelter for Koren is the fourteenth book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Series. Taco is finally finding peace after getting over his crazy psycho ex. The thought of dating anyone ever again is not on his radar. However, when Taco meets Koren he begins to doubt his resolve. Koren resembles his crazy ex so it takes him a hot minute to recognize the passion and connection the two share.
Overall, Shelter for Koren is another Susan Stoker winning read. I always find myself entertained by Stoker’s characters and the witty dialogue they partake in. The passion between Koren and Taco is combustible and the way in which they claim each other left me on the edge of my seat the entire read. I will never tire of Susan Stoker goodness. I cannot wait for more!

When grief turns deadly
Hudson “Taco” Vines still can’t wrap his head around the fact that his ex was a serial-killing religious zealot, reason enough for him to be wary of Koren Garner, who he rescues from a horrific car accident.
Koren Garner does not like drama, and she knows that Taco and his friends are no strangers to events that can leave them and their loved ones traumatized.
Nevertheless, the two find themselves attracted to one another and try to make a go of a relationship, even when someone starts to target Taco’s friends.
In Shelter for Koren, a mother brought to the breaking point over the death of her son shows us the importance of being a strong support system for people who have experienced trauma so grievous that their heart and mind get broken to the point of no return.
Some of you may think Susan Stoker’s plot was a bit cheesy or far-fetched, but no. Post-traumatic stress disorder takes on so many characteristics that we cannot outright say what happened to Taco and Koren’s story is purely fiction. It is not.
Is it a mental illness? No.
Dr. Melanie Greenberg, a practicing psychologist and author of “The Mindful Self-Express.” does not consider PTSD to be a mental health problem. Rather, it is a “chronic, systemic problem of mind-body-spirit in which long-term stress responses deplete both mental and physical health.
Imagine someone you know experiencing a trauma so huge—in the book, Nicole’s loss of her only child to a fire—that everything ceases to exist. They withdraw from society, reality to them becomes so confusing.
So should we excuse the actions of anyone who suffers from PTSD? Should we turn a blind eye? Or should we be aware enough of our own need for a support system, and that of others we know or suspect that need the same, to be able to reach out?
Whatever the reason or the circumstances, there is but one thing I believe we can do, and that is to always be there for each other, no matter the status in life, the colour of our skin, or our belief system. Because everyone deserves a second chance.

Good listen!
This is one of the best in the series and I was very happy Taco got his happy ending! The story moved along at a good clip and there was just the right amount of action. I really like this girl for Taco and I was happy to see him find the right kind of lady for him after knowing what he had to deal with in the pass. The whole gang was right on board and gave the same amount of support you expect from them. I also love how strong all the ladies of the group have become. Good story to add to the collection!

Another great addition to the series!
This is one of my favorite series by this author and this book did not disappoint. While you don’t have to read the prior books to enjoy this story, it does help to have some of that background. This is Hudson ‘Taco’ Price’s story. We typically have no control of someone’s perception of us and in Taco’s case that perception can be deadly.
Taco had previously met Koren but, because of her striking resemblance to his homicidal ex, he didn’t pay much attention. Besides, he needed a break from women. When Taco saved Koren from a serious car wreck, and she asked him out, he intended to stay away...but there was just something about her. Soon enough, the pair begin dating but someone is blaming Taco for pain in their own life and is targeting those he holds dear. Will they survive?
Danger, romance and hot firefighter...great story and equally great narration. Looking forward to Penelope’s story.

Impressive
The story of Koren and Taco, a couple that enjoyable and fun and real. The narrator does a good job. The friends/couples are a nice mish-mash of different relationships. The main character is the perfect ultimate alpha male
The sad downfall of a drug addict. Misplaced blame, drugs and revenge is the catalyst for the entire situation.
