Resolute Aim (The Protectors of Boone County, Texas, 2)

Love mills and boon heroes books easy to read and enjoy

Resolute isn’t the quiet sleepy little town Bree Delgado thought it was when she joined the Boone County Sheriff’s Department. Right from the start, a meth house explodes and what follows are a series of crimes and murders that may or may not be related to the meth house. Bree has been paired with Noah Reed and she isn’t too happy about it. Noah likes to talk and joke and Bree finds it annoying. Bree doesn’t want to talk too much because she has a secret; one that could change what people think about her and could put her partner’s life in jeopardy. But Noah doesn’t stand down. He is attracted to Bree and wants to know her better. What will Noah think of Bree once she tells him what happened when she was a police officer in San Antonio? Will Bree even have a job once the truth is revealed? I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It was an exciting, on the edge of your seat type of book. I never knew what would happen next. I am really loving this book series. But just because it’s a series, these books can also be read as stand-alones.

Resolute Aim is the second book in the Protectors of Boone County series by Leslie Marshman. It checks the boxes for a gripping storyline, characters you can relate to and laugh with, and a soft and easy romance that takes you on the couple's romantic journey. Resolute Aim opens with a bang, quite literally, and keeps you gripped until the final page. Noah Reed has a chip on his shoulder that's going nowhere fast, just like him. His sister, Sheriff Cassie Reed, still sees him as her little brother and refuses to give him the lead on big cases. Despite his efforts to prove himself, she continues to treat him unfairly compared to the rest of his brothers who work there. Bree Delgado has a secret, and if it gets out, she will be in a world of hurt with her new deputy position in Resolute. She's all about keeping it to herself, but her new partner, Noah Reed, has other plans. When Noah is paired with Bree for a week to teach her the ropes, they catch what should be a straightforward case of burglary at the high school. The task may be simple, but Noah sensed that his new partner was anything but. She was a complicated mess, and he would do anything to make her smile. Their 'simple' burglary case turns sinister the more they dig into the people who work at the high school and the stolen items. It wasn't long, and they had a body, which for Resolute, was not the norm. The more they dug, the more they angered someone who didn't want their connection to the meth houses known. I loved this book because the pacing was perfect, and you were never left bored while they moved through the case. Something was always going on that kept you interested, even during Noah and Bree's downtime. I won't reveal Bree's secret, as I think it's important for the reader to learn it at the same time Noah does, but his soft touch is very sweet. If you love law enforcement intrigues with a storyline that is very timely, along with a sweet romance that will make you smile, then you don't want to miss Resolute Aim!
