Always a Lawman (Blue River Ranch #1)


Always a Lawman (Blue River Ranch #1)
by Delores Fossen


One night and an injustice that changed so many people’s lives destroying so much from love to friendship. Ms. Fossen gives an action packed thrilling read from the first page holding your attention while keeping you hanging on to the edge. Some questions are answered but one is still left open and will be played out through the series. The hints are there for you to work out the attacker but if you are like me you won’t work it out. This is one author that holds her cards close to her chest giving you a taste of the outcome but keeping you guess who did it.


There was really nothing I didn’t like about this story. The plot was outstanding, fast moving, one thrill to the next, keeping you guessing why holding your attention. There is a lot going on from mystery, attacks, murder, mask men just come out of the wood work. The attacker is trying hard to cover his tracks but it is getting harder with his victim saying she remember much more that she does 10 years after the fact trying to pull him out in hopes of setting her father free.

My mind is blown to think about going through what Jodi has leaving you scared and afraid even after so many years.  Her attacker has taken the small things in life from her, things we do without thinking about it. As a character Jodi is strong, she stands proud but does have panic attacks who could blame her. If it had been me I most likely would never leave my home. There is a whole list of people who could be behind it leaving her guessing as to her she can trust. The only one for sure is her old love which never happens for many reasons. She knows she can trust him since he parents were killed by the same man who attacked her. The attraction is still as strong but she has issues she must overcome before she can think about having a man in her life.


Gabriel feels guilty for some many reason one he wasn’t there to saved his parents two he turned Jodi away the night she came to him trying to seduce him. He knows he did the right thing, things just would not have worked out for them. She was of age but just barely and needed to see the world feel the things most teens do. Now he has to find the killer, keep her safe when she wants to go it alone and keep her at arms links. He has got his work cut out for him. At every turn there is something new, new people ending up dead, no threats, a bigger puzzle filled with mystery.

From the first page you are holding your breath until the last page. There isn’t much filler here at all just one thrill, action after another. The two main characters still feel that pull from many years ago and have a hard time keeping their hands off each other for many different reasons. The romance is good, easy and moves at a nice paces. Really they are meant to be together, the complement each other so well. A lot stands in their way from her father killing his parents or did he, to family, friends and a lot more. I totally enjoyed this action paced thriller. If you love mystery, intrigue along with your romance you are going to love this one.
