Texas Game Wardens don’t just protect the natural resources of the Lone Star State, they protect the people as well. Trace Carson considers every warden as more than just fellow officers, they’re family. Especially, Miranda Jimenez. She’d gone through the academy when he was on staff, and he was her first in-field training officer. There was no denying that she was a beautiful woman, he’d worked … he’d worked side by side with her and knew that her dedication to upholding the laws of Texas was second only to caring for wild animals and natural resources.
When she decided to leave her job as a game warden to open a wild animal rehabilitation it made perfect sense, but he couldn’t explain the sudden ache he felt at the thought of her leaving. It wasn’t going to be out of sight, out of mind, because he went to her ‘retirement’ party and he kissed her, changing everything.
When her connection with Trace puts Miranda’s life in danger, the law enforcement community in San Antonio pulls together to get her back where she belongs… in Trace’s arms. Will they find her in time to save her and get Justice for Miranda?

I received this friends to lovers as an arc for my review. I enjoyed this Texas Game Warden romance. Trace Carson is the warden in charge over Miranda Jimenez. She decides to quit to run an animal rehabilitation. When her life gets put in danger Trace realizes that he cannot live without her. We all love a happy ending.
I love a strong heroine, and this author writes some of the best. Miranda is a retired Texas Game Warden, retired because she wants to run her wild animal rehab clinic. It’s an admirable decision, but it takes her from the man she’s been crushing on, Trace, who is about a decade older than she is… a man she shouldn’t get involved in.
Trace knows the danger of being a Texas Game Warden, but he lives for the thrill of catching the poachers. And when he runs into a situation where assistance is needed to rescue and rehab an animal, he knows exactly who to call. He’s had a thing for Miranda since he was her instructor. No matter what he does, he can’t seem to get her off of his mind.
When an arrest turns sideways, Miranda is put in danger. And if Trace doesn’t figure out how to rescue her, he might just lose her.
Miranda is brave and strong and keeps her wits even when she’s the one in danger. I love the way this author has such insight into not only the subject of her story but the way the characters should react. This one held my attention until the very end. Miranda made some brilliant moves, and the ending was especially heartwarming.
Miranda Jimenez knew – actually expected – that she could be in danger in her former job as a Texas game warden. That is why she gave it her all in academy and when on duty, especially following the advice from her mentor and secret crush Trace Carson. Now a wildlife rehabilitator, Miranda has found her true calling. But when she finds herself the target of some very scary, very ruthless people, her former colleagues come to her aid, including the very tempting Trace…..
What a sweet and spicy read! I loved this book by Ms. Torres, who again writes about very real people in a very real way. I love that this book, as many of hers, are populated with people from different ethnic and societal backgrounds, bringing their unique “voices” to the story. The writing is always so vibrant – you can hear Miranda’s mother talking, smell the delicious food at the party, feel Trace’s warmth as Miranda and he embrace. It is not merely a mash of descriptive words that paint the picture – this author accomplishes this in a much more subtle yet effective way. To me it is pure magic how she does this – and for an author, what a gift to have!
Speaking of gifts, Trace Carson is truly one for us readers! What female can resist a hero who has some silver in his hair and a heart full of gold! He was a worthy hero for the amazing Miranda. A terrific read!
What a great story. I couldn’t put it down. There was some smoking hot chemistry between Trace and Miranda and some nail biting action. But there were also some fun and sweet moments too. It was fun to read how Trace thought he needed to keep his feelings and desires from Miranda because he thought she deserved someone closer to her age (there’s a slight age gap) but she was totally into him too. Loved reading how their relationship developed amidst their work related troubles (the action part of the story). Overall a very enjoyable read.
A sweetly thrilling, action packed and engaging romantic adventure filled with danger, mystery, intriguing charters, and heart pounding twists…. the undeniable passion made this an exciting read from beginning to end. Great reading!
I have to say Trace and Miranda’s story has to be one of my all time favorites! His love for her is all consuming although in the beginning he tries to deny it thinking he isn’t worthy. Even when she leaves her job to start her sanctuary, and they are no longer colleagues, he tries to fight it. When she’s in danger he has to truly face his feelings. The action/drama is thrilling but the underlying love story is one that will keep you reading cover to cover! LOVED this story so much!
Ms. Torres just seems to get better and better. Justice for Miranda is a short, sexy read that deals with strong men and strong women. They have jobs that are hard and backbones to match. When they love they give it their all.
In Justice for Miranda, Ms. Torres gives it all to the reader. The story involves family, alphas, important jobs, bad guys, good guys, sexual tension, love and an HEA all in the form of a roller coaster ride! I couldn’t put the book down!
I was given a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.
This is the first book I’ve ever read about Game Wardens, Animal Sanctuaries and the problems the general public can cause that brings peril to our animal friends. I loved the story-line and the fact it is not only a great story but it brings awareness about the many workers it takes to keep our Preserves and Parks safe. Miranda Jimenez is one of a few female game wardens in Texas as she decides to change jobs in saving the lives of the animals we love to watch and enjoy. When trouble comes her way, she is one tough gal with fight, daring and smarts to save her life. There are sensual scenes in this book and they are well written. I received an early ARC copy of this book and thank the author for doing a great job of writing.
I liked the storyline centered around the Texas Game Wardens and a wild animal rehabilitation center. Well developed characters as they worked through their feelings, growth in their relationship, and reached their HEA. A bit of danger and suspense mixed with steamy scenes.
Justice For Miranda (Police and Fire : Operation Alpha) by Reina Torres is a hot, sexy, steamy, suspenseful read. Just the kind that Ms. Torres does best! Their chemistry is off the chart. Watch out for your e-reader it may get too hot to handle! Yes, Trace and Miranda are that hot together. Ms.Torres is very good at keeping the suspense going and keeping the reader guessing almost up to the end. Plan to be reading long after your lights should be out. It is that good!
