Publisher Description
As proud as she was of getting this far on her own, a little help right now would be very appreciated.
Blind since birth, Corrie Madison relies on her other sharpened senses in her job as a chiropractor. Never did she imagine she’d have to depend on them to identify a killer. But when a man enters her practice, murdering everyone in his path, Corrie is the only witness—putting her directly in the killer’s crosshairs.
Officer Quint Axton wasn’t looking for love, or even a relationship, until he meets Corrie. Beautiful and brave, resilient and intelligent, she’s everything Quint wants—if he can keep her alive long enough to explore their mutual attraction. The threats on Corrie’s life are escalating. Surely a blind person is helpless against a ruthless killer?
Hardly. Corrie is about to prove that disabled does not equal defenseless.
**Justice for Corrie is the 3rd book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.
Customer Reviews
Powerful in its simplicity…
Ever since I was a little girl and was intrigued with the story of Helen Keller I wondered how people survived and thrived when they were blind. Life is hard, incredibly so, when you have all of your senses available to you. What happens when you don’t? What Susan Stoker has done here has blown away every myth that may have remained and showed me exactly how a person who is blind is simply a regular person who just happens to not see…
Corrie Madison is a chiropractor. She is also blind. Using the skills she’s had to hone all her life to keep herself safe, she is going to need every single one of them to survive a killer’s wrath. Quint Axton is a police officer on the case but he’s also soon more than that as he recognizes the unique qualities that make Corrie not just another beautiful face….
“I was impressed. I’m even more impressed now. You don’t take c**p from me, you’ll protect your friends with everything you have, and you have a slight sarcastic streak. You’re beautiful…”
I love this author and this story is just another example of why. Corrie is blind but sees more clearly than others as she uses her hearing, her senses of touch and smell, to help her navigate the world around her. By simply living, and going about her business, Corrie’s life is shown to be as simple and complicated as anyone’s. And complicated it is as she deals with the aftermath of a tragedy that struck too close to home.
I love how Quint interacts with Corrie – going out of his way to be aware of Corrie’s needs. He is genuinely interested in her and sees her blindness as an extension of her rather than something that is a negative. He is curious and doesn’t have all the answers but he talks to her about it all. There are disagreements and misunderstandings but they never stop working it out.
Action and suspense are exciting backdrops to a funny, emotional and unique romance. Another story hit out of the ballpark, I can’t wait for more Texas heroes!
