Lawless Love (Lawmen and Outlaws)

Lawless Love (Lawmen and Outlaws)

by Andrea Downing

My Review

For a short, sweet and to the point story this was great it starts out fast and keeps going throughout the read.  Ms. Downing gives us very strong characters with a little sass to give you tons of laughs. The story starts off with Marshal Dylan coming across a lady bathing in a river. He steps out trying to tell her there are snakes in there. She is nude and shocked that she isn’t alone. Words are exchanged leaving her wondering how she would get out and away from the man. She puts her mind to work and soon he finds things might have changed hands as she pulls a fast one leaving him standing in a mess of trouble.

Ms. Downing stays with the time period right down to the language giving you a very entertaining read. The tables are turned and turned again so fast you almost have whiplash from the back and forwards these two do. For Dylan everything is either black or white there are no gray areas in his life. Lacey is something and she is about to teach this high handed man there might be a few gray mixed in with those dole colors. Lacey is hiding something and he is just the man to find out what that is. One man is dead and the killer is still out there. Between hunting down the killer and Lacey he is about to go nuts.

I like that Dylan is a gentleman but like most of us he isn’t prefect. I not sure I know one man who wouldn’t look at a nude women who they came across at least for a few minutes. There is right and wrong but every one of us has turned the wrong way for some reason or another which goes back to the beginning of time with an apple.  What it really boils down to is what you would be willing to do for those you love.  All of the above makes this a very believable story since we are not prefect we are just like the characters in this story (I am not saying we would make the choice they did but some would) which goes right along with us living in an imperfect world making it a believable read with wonderful down to earth characters you can relate to.

There is one touchy issue that the author brings to you in a very supporting classy way. The who, what and why will almost bring tears to your eyes. I loved the baiting and the tug of war between these two. The humor is wonderful as one shows a little sass and the other tries to out do it. It is a short read with the author giving you everything you need not leaving anything out. I would have liked to have had a little more at the ending. All in all this was a wonderful read that I totally enjoyed. I haven’t had the pleasure of reading this author before. I am very much looking forward to picking up some more of her stories. I thing most will enjoy this fast pace, with a little mystery.

Right or wrong, black or white, when push comes to shove which choice would you make.
