She’s shy, he’s stoic…not the hardest personality traits to overcome, but Sophie Carson and Roman “Chief” Proudfit have their work cut out for them.Sophie has a crush on the silent-but-studly firefighter next door. She’s been pining away silently while secretly helping the hardworking man by mowing his lawn—which he thinks is being done by her nonexistent husband and/or boyfriend. He’s definitely … definitely not big on neighborly chitchat, but with her stutter, that suits Sophie just fine. But now a misunderstanding at a bar has put him even further out of her reach.
Roman’s difficult upbringing on an Indian reservation is a sore spot, so when he thinks Sophie is taking advantage of poor people for medical trials at her workplace, he lets her know exactly what he thinks. But when he discovers he misunderstood, he’s man enough to admit it…and also that he should have opened his eyes to his beautiful, sensitive neighbor sooner.
As the couple gets closer, each helping the other overcome lifelong pains, for the first time in years, Roman has something to live for other than his job. And, as he discovers when Sophie puts herself in danger, something even bigger to lose…
** Shelter for Sophie is the 8th book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

I highly recommend reading this book and all of Susan Stoker’s books. I enjoy the strong women in each of her books. I love the fact that the men are there to support and accept these strong women. Always an enjoyable read!
Good reading
I loved the fact that this story was different! Each little special nuance infused the plot with points of interest, kept me captivated, and definitely wanted me to hurry up and read it!
There is not a single Susan Stoker book I’ve read that wouldn’t get 5 stars. Simply put, she’s an amazing author. Her characters are so incredibly strong, loyal and interesting that many other authors use them in their books. Some of her books aren’t on Kindle unlimited and because finances are tight I’m constantly checking her books for freebies. I’ve read many and cannot put them down. I read for hours every day and can’t keep track of the many books I read every week but Susan’s books are the ones I’d read over again even though I’ve got hundreds of unread books on my kindle. I cannot recommend her enough!
I love all of these books!
All of the female characters in this series have a flaw. Sophie stutters “m” and “s” words, so it’s hard to read with the added stutters. This author’s stories involve a lot of sex and a quick happily ever after ending.
I loved the characters.
I love this book very very good loved it love Doc love Sophie loved your guy I love everything it is so good and I love the Seal teamslove them love them love
This may very well be my favorite Susan Stoker book. I would highly recommend it.
This was a cute story. So glad to see that he saw through her stutter to realize what a wonderful woman she was.
Great read
This is part of a home run series. Susan Stoker brings the romance and the suspense. The balance is just right for a fun summer read.
I have noticed with this author some of her stories are a hit or a miss. This one was a definite miss. You have Chief and Sophie neighbors to lovers story or romance as this book is labeled. I did not dig the romance nor did I dig the agenda being pushed about discrimination against many races and such..But it’s not only that there are several issues that I guess the author thought she could make cultural appropriate but really I just felt like someone’s thoughts were dumped on me rather than romance. From privileged doctors, to homeless ppl, and social and cultural norms. I had enough. The author couldn’t decide which direction she was to go. No spark whatsoever! And the repetition and excessive descriptive sentences whether thought or spoken reminded me why I haven’t read work by this author for the very reasons that this book is all wrong in a long time. The epilogue was more of a introduction to the next story. And at one point she went paranormal. It’s as if the author was fixated on cramming as much as possible and hoping for the best. Best description is a cliche political hot mess.
Loved Chief and learning more about native american culture. The flawed heroine was also nice.
This book was boring. Not much of a plot or very interesting
Cheesy book, good easy read
It was just ok
A murder situation that is very unusual but is also believable. Lots of interesting characters!
I am always amazed the author can find a unique spin on common theme. I look forward to every new release.
good read
