Hildie Faraday thought her life was full. Coordinating care for the clients at the Helping Hearts shelters and community center is a job and a half, but when a client asked her to come to support her at a hearing, she’s right there to help. They teach women to be prepared for anything, but Hildie is shocked when she ends up in the cross hairs of a client’s abusive husband.
Texas Ranger Jake … Ranger Jake McGowan thanked his lucky stars that he was in the right place at the worst time. Working in Law Enforcement in San Antonio, he knew all about Hildie and the help she provides for women in need. Seeing her put herself between a woman and her gun-wielding husband brought his own feelings into the foreground.
Once he had Hildie in his life, he wasn’t going to let her slip away from him. Jake’s doing everything he can to show her how much she means to him, and Hildie’s giving it right back. It doesn’t take long for life to throw a bunch of obstacles in their way, and Hildie into the trunk of a car.
Jake will pull together local law enforcement officers to help him rescue Hildie and get her back into his loving arms. Will they get there in time?

Hildie loves helping women leave and heal from their abusive situations but she also loves Jake, a Texas Ranger. Jake loves Hildie but thinks she takes too many risks and only wants to protect her. When things get out of control will Jake be able to find Hildie in time? Or will hearts be broken in this heart thumping ride of terror? Loved it!!
I liked the story. Jake was an alpha and loved how he was towards hildie and the general population. He was a protector, through and through. I didn’t really like hildie as much as I did in sloans book or the other heroines previous. Idk why. I like that she stood her ground but not the way she just shut Jake out and basically only wanted him for sex and not to try and talk things through to come to a compromise. And Jake didn’t initially want to compromise either but he at least wanted to talk. He was just trying to protect her and keep her safe.
He was a Texas Ranger She helped her best friend with her organization so sometimes she was put in dangerous situations they disagreed but made up had sizzling romance he protected her and they had a happy ending
Hildie Faraday is a saint with sass – always taking care of someone else and standing up for others, but never looking out for herself. When Texas Ranger Jake McGowan meets Hildie, he’s enamored not only by her beauty, but her beautiful servant’s heart. Helping those in need is what Hildie does best and she loves the work she does until a client’s soon-to-be-ex-husband threatens her. Jake witnesses the heated encounter and vows to protect Hildie at all costs – whether she wants the protection or not. Hildie, being Hildie, gives as good as she gets and Jake is in for an adventure trying to keep this woman safe. When their plans go astray and Hildie is taken, can she count on Jake to rally those he trusts most to help save the woman who’s come to mean everything to him?
Omg I couldn’t get enough of Jake and Hildie story. Hildie and Jake have been dancing around for awhile now about their feelings and when they finally get together will it all be taken away? This book will have you hooked from the beginning until the end and plus you will love Hildie’s witty attitude and strength and independence and of course shes stubborn just like her Texas Ranger Jake these two characters were absolutely made for each. I was absolutely on the edge of my seat with this book .Reina did it again this book is will have you falling in love with them. Well done !!!
Jake and Hill – what a couple! What a story! He is all alpha, and she is strong and smart. Yes, they do have flaws, yet you can´t help falling in love with them! Great story, really well written! Reina rocket it! Definitely a must read!
Having met Hildie Faraday in Justice For Sloane, I got a kick out of her sassy side and her sense of humor. I am very glad that she got her own story. Texas Ranger Jake McGowan was at the right place at the right time when he finally got the opening he’d been looking for to get closer to Hildie. That set off a chain of events that only reinforced how he felt about her. Hildie had been surreptitiously watching Jake and now she’s able to live out her fantasies about him. They just clicked. When she’s put in peril, Jake and his law enforcement brothers pull out all the stops to bring her home safely.
I finished Justice for Hildie…. Wow, enjoyed it so much, downloaded it last night and read it today in one go! Well with lockdown and not having to go to work, it is a good distraction. Loved the book and loved all the other familiar names in the book. Always like the fact that all you guys books cross over.
Anyway, just wanted to thank you for giving me something else to focus on today and something to daydream about.
Enjoyed the foot in the mouth moments from Hildie and Jake… and wouldn’t mind hearing from Anne again… might there be something between her and her ‘Cajun protector” Owen? She a brave woman.
So… Jake has been watching Hildie for a while and he gets his chance to talk to her outside the court one day while she waits for a client. Things goes a little bit haywire, and after Hildie protects her client, Jake saves the day and gets to make an important arrest. (Don’t want to say more and spoil things.) So anyway he ends up having to keep an eye on Hildie, EMT’s orders, and things develop from there. They are both stubborn… and of course the protective alpha hero (than which we all love) does not make it easy for the “I can take care of myself” heroine… Though Hildie does sell herself short. She does not realize how much she contributes into making other’s lives better.
Favorite quote from the book…
“Hildie always says she gets to work with a bunch of Big Damn Heroes, so that’s who we’re going to be today. Big Damn Heroes.”
I think with what we going through at the moment we can all say that everyone working on the front lines is Big Damn Heroes… And I want to say thank you to them for that… even though they probably wouldn’t read this review.
So yes!!!! Great book. Would recommend it.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Justice for Hildie is Hildie and Jake are so perfect for each other but it takes them going through so much to realize it. I love how the characters from this book tie into characters from other books by this author. As always with this author the writing is well done, the characters are believable and the ending is perfect.
This book was awesome. I truly enjoyed reading it! I loved the characters Hildie and Jake. They are both so honest and caring. They don’t see how much they help and mean to others. These two have chemistry that is explosive despite both not wanting to admit it. Their story will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is a definite must have! Check it out! I am voluntarily leaving my review after reading an advance reader copy of the book from the author.
Hilde works with Sloane. They have a foundation for abused women and children.
Jake is a Texas Rapper and works with Dax.
Jake finally gets the nerve to ask Hulde out. They have been bouncing around each other for awhile now.
Hilde has been helping with a woman who has been abused by her husband. After she woman finds some evidence against her husband, Hilde helps to get her into safety.
Hilde has been taken. Everyone is there to help including TJ. Will they find her in time?
I really enjoyed Justice for Hildie. I am so glad that Jake was there to help Hildie. Hildie is a strong, emotional woman who works with her best friend Sloane rescuing and assisting women. Jake is an amazing Texas Ranger. Anne is a client of Hildie’s that she is working with to protect her from her husband that is in jail. She finds incriminating evidence that the Texas Rangers need to prove their case. How many people will get hurt in this because of the evidence that was found? Will Anne be safe from her husband?
I enjoy this series of books, I like the typical heroes of the books like Jake, whose job as a Texas Ranger is more of a calling and the heroines, like Hildie who has more heart and strength than she realizes. I love that their love story isn’t perfect, they disagree and are both a little too stubborn sometimes. Mix that in with a criminal, dangerous situations and a happy ending and I am hooked. In these wierd times of fear for loved ones and our health, it’s books like these that give me some time off from the news and worrying and just let me escape.
Wow, the sparks sure to fly around Hilde and Jake. Hilde works at Helping Hearts Shelter & Community Center and Jake is a Texas Ranger. One of the clients has asked her to accompany her at an hearing. Which of course she does. Little does she know what is going to happen. Jake McGowan is a Texas Ranger. H has known about Hildie and the work she does to provide for women in need. Seeing her put herself in danger by positioning herself between her client and the woman’s gun-wielding husband makes him realize his feelings for Hilde. The man disappears with Hilde. Will Jake and the local law enforcement officers find Hilde in time to save her? You must read this book.
An Enjoyable story for sure ,the attraction and chemistry between these two is hot…i loved that from their meeting the attraction between them both stood out strong.
Hildie was going to court to support a women who was trying to get away from her husband, when she met ran into Jake who also was going to see a judge to get a warrant. He was in the right place at the right time to save Hildie from the womens ex
Hildie really liked Jake and a date was set for a night out…………………. without anymore spoilers i will let you readers find out more about this wonderful story.
Have fun reading and i know you willl enjoy this like i certainly did.
Justice for Hildie has action, a steamy romance, and suspense. Characters are written well and have depth. Enjoyed the dialogue and the secondary characters.
I always love a good read when it features within another’s authors world and some of my favourite characters jump out of the book to me. This had me engrossed near enough from the first chapter. The two main characters are Jake, a Texas Ranger and Hildie (although you will get to know her full name when you meet her mom), who works at Helping Hearts Shelters and Community centre. A day in court has consiquensies for some but Jake is there. The bad guy in question goes to prison but is soon an escapee. Hildie does her best to shield the bad guys wife and helps her disappear but not before the wife gives over a little evidence. The suspense had me on the edge if my seat and I just couldn’t read it quick enough. Loved Jake and Hildie. They were so suited for each other.
HIldie Faraday helps those in need. Especially women who have been abused. Hildie will do whatever she needs to do to keep those women safe, even put herself in danger or between her client and danger. Ranger Jake MCGowan sees this first hand and nearly has a heart attack.
Jake has been drawn to Hildie for a long time but has never approached her. He knows she’s a firecracker and wants to be near her. Jake never thought he’d ever see the day that HIldie would give him a moment’s notice, but as he sits beside her in the courtroom where she has met to support Anne, she faces her ex husband to get a protective order. Jake can’t believe he has gotten Hildie to talk to him much less sit down beside him in the courtroom.
Jake’s worst nightmare ensues. HIldie steps between Anne and her ex husband as he draws a gun in the courtroom. THis puts HIldie even more the sights of her ex husband that’s a known criminal.
Now Jake must keep hilidie safe from the nut. Plus side to this is he gets to keep HIldie close to protect her. HIldie is known for taking care of herself and not exactly feeling the need to Ranger Jake to have to take care of her. She thinks he is just doing his job. Hildie doesn’t see that Jake really likes her at first.
THis is a really action packed read with lots of chemistry and plenty of the sharp wit of Hildie putting Jake in his place that made me laugh out loud a few times. Well written story that flows well and keeps your attention.
This was a story of a smart, brave woman who wasn’t afraid to take the bull by the horns. It is a steamy romance that was just right for a diversion from what’s going on in the world right now.
Jake was a wonderful hero (a Texas Ranger) and Hildie was just the right woman for him. She bravely protects women from abusive men and does all she can to ensure their protection. They made a great team to tackle the bad guys in the book. Hildie was stubborn enough to give Jake a run for his money–I loved it.
Reina Torres does a great job with anything she writes and Justice for Hildie was a prime example.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.
Another winner by Reina Torres. With all the romance and danger I was hooked.
Loved how Jake is so protective of Hildie. Their chemistry was hot. Jake is swoonworthy!! <3
I also enjoyed getting to catch up with the characters from the previous books in the series.
I highly recommend this book. Can't wait for more from this author.
