Summary
One Tough Texan by Barbara Han is part of the Cattlemen Crime Club series. The underlining story through the series is about the O'Brien brothers trying to figure out who killed their parents. This book focused Joshua who is Ryder’s twin. Joshua is trying to decide what to do with his life. He's always wanted to be an FBI agent. He's on leave from his job as a cop as he helps his brothers with the ranch after his parents passed away. He runs across a woman in trouble and is compelled to help her. Tommy plays a vital role again in this book as he has with the other books in the series. He is the local sheriff and like a brother to the O'Briens.
Alice has developed a relationship with a young girl named Izabel. She feels responsible for the girl’s parents dying as a result of the mistake she made on her job. She is a cop who is walking the line as she is desperate to find Isabel. The book opens with her trying to find Isabel who has been abducted and she thinks it's by someone who deals in human trafficking.
Tommy helps Joshua and Alice as they try to find Izabel. This was a very good mystery. I was disappointed we didn't find out more about the parents’ murder. Alice's twin boys were adorable and it was ironic that Joshua happens to be a twin too. Great chemistry between the characters and high suspense as you wonder what happened to Izabel.
