A great second book in the Sam Cable series, it grabs your attention, has great characters, snarky humor and a thrilling, good guy vs bad guy plot. Texas Ranger, Sam Cable, is sent to pick up a prisoner but things are not as simple as it seems and definitely do not go as planned. A plane crash has Sam stranded in a remote area with a badly injured pilot, a beautiful prisoner accused of killing a cop and a group of assailants trying to kill them. I really enjoyed this audiobook, the narration was very well done, and the story was the right mix of intrigue, action, suspense and humour. I loved that Jade Stone was a strong character who was just as capable as Sam when it came to surviving. The humour and chemistry between the two of them was great and I loved the twist in the story at the end. I will look forward to the next book in the series.
Walker, Texas Ranger has nothing on Texas Ranger Sam Cable. Sam is a bad@$$ Ranger who is snarky and hilarious. I have never laughed this hard…while listening to a police drama, no less. This is my first foray into the Sam Cable series and it will not be my last. Excellent narration!

Texas Ranger Sam Cable’s boss has sent him to pick up a prisoner out in California and bring her back to Texas to face charges of murdering her cop boyfriend. So he takes off with his pilot, DPS Trooper Marlon Boggs and away they go. Sam hates flying in the tiny Cessna, but Boggs gets him there easy peasy and in one piece. They pick up their prisoner and head for home. And that’s where things get real interesting.
If you are looking for a smartass hero with stubborn to spare who can think fast on his feet then look no further. This is the story for you! The first couple of chapters set the scene and then it’s non-stop action until the end. What a ride! After reading book 1 April’s Fool, my fingers were itching to open this one because I just knew I was going to love it. Holy shit, was I right! Scott Bell really knows how to put the reader in the shoes of his characters with just the right amount of description to keep the flow fast-moving and not bogging it down. Awesome characters, an interesting world, ass-puckering action, and a mystery to solve are just what I needed to escape the daily grind. Bravo!
Very good story. A lot of excitement and danger. This Jade Stone is something else. I like her but I do think she did a wrong by Sam and Marlon. Poor Sam he can’t get a break. I received a complimentary review copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a honest review.
