TJ left his sniper days behind him for good when he’d left the Army and become a respected Texas Highway Patrolman. But he never forgot the girl he’d loved and stupidly given up.

Neither thought they’d ever see each other again. But when a pedophile’s operation is taken down and he sets his sights on Milena, TJ gets a second chance. They both have secrets that could end any relationship they might have before it even starts. But when the bad guy threatens the one thing that means the world to the couple, they’ll have to trust in each other to triumph over evil.

REVIEW: JUSTICE FOR MILENA is the eleventh instalment in Susan Stoker’s contemporary, adult BADGE OF HONOR: TEXAS HEROES romantic, suspense series. This is former US Delta Force sniper, and Texas Highway Patrolman TJ ‘Rock’ Rockwell, and registered nurse Milena Reinhart’s story line. JUSTICE FOR MILENA can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from several third person perspectives including TJ and Milena JUSTICE FOR MILENA is a second chance story line focusing on former US Delta Force sniper, and Texas Highway Patrolman TJ ‘Rock’ Rockwell, and registered nurse Milena Reinhart. Three years earlier TJ Rockwell struggled to move on from the disastrous mission in the Middle East that killed his entire team and left our hero suffering with survivor’s guilt and PTSD. The only light in his otherwise darkened days was his nurse Milena Reinhart, the woman with whom he fell in love but the woman he was about to destroy in the blink of an eye. Walking away, and out of Milena’s life, TJ battled the demons of his past, in the hopes of stabilizing the nightmares that threatened to control his life. Fast forward to present day, and a healthier TJ Rockwell will come face to face with his past, a past that was about to rock his world. With Milena and her friend Sadie unknowingly working for two men who are under investigation by the FBI, TJ demands protective duty to care of the woman he has never stopped loving. What ensues are the rekindling romance between TJ and Milena, and the fall-out when Milena and Sadie are targeted in a sick and demented game of retaliation and revenge.

Milena is a strong-willed, feisty survivor who has moved on from the past but a past with too many reminders to never forget. TJ continues to battle with PTSD but finding the woman he lost brings new meaning to second chances, and a welcome surprise towards a possible happily ever after.

The relationship between Milena and TJ is one of second chances; a slow-building, rekindling romance that focuses on TJ’s need to make amends for the past, and his desire to move forward towards a happily ever after. The $ex scenes are passionate but limited.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Milena’s best friend Sadie; a homeless young woman Blythe; and several characters we had me in previous story lines (Chase, Quint, Calder, Dax, Cruz, Squirrel, Mackenzie, Mickie, Erin, Hayden and Sophie). We are introduced to Milena’s parents Robert and Missy Reinhart; as well as the requisite evil, father and son Jeremiah and Jonathan Jones. Chase Jackson and Sadie Jenning’s story is next in Rescuing Sadie- a cross over with the author’s Delta Force Heroes, and Lexi Blake’s Master and Mercenaries Series. Blythe and Squirrel’s story line is scheduled for June 2018.

JUSTICE FOR MILENA is an emotional story line; a heart breaking look at two people whose lives were destroyed by demons from the past, and one man’s hopes for future with the woman that he loves. The premise is engaging, intriguing and entertaining; the characters are colorful, dynamic and sassy; the romance is seductive and sexy. JUSTICE FOR MILENA
