Thank you in advance to the author Virginia Vaughan for providing an advanced review copy as part of a launch team. A positive review was not required or requested, and all words are my own.This is the second book in the “Cowboy Lawmen Romance” series.Just like the first one – this starts off with a bang. Though not quite as literal, it is definitely attention getting. Since I read the first one, I HAD to read this one.While both have so far been standalone reads, I am sure readers like myself will benefit from reading them together. I know that when I re-read them, it will be together.In the first book “Texas Twin Abduction”, which was Lawson’s story, we met the other Avery brothers who were in various divisions of law enforcement. One of those brothers was Miles, who is a U.S Marshal.Like the previous book, the plot is definitely well structured in this exciting, page-turning, action packed novel that left me doubting every character (except Miles’ family). There were so many people I suspected – Miles’ boss, one of the young hands at the ranch, and even someone in the sheriff’s department. At least Melissa and her son Dylan weren’t suspects.I was definitely hooked by the end of chapter one; and I did not want to put this down. It was like watching a suspense movie on TV.There is SO much to love about this book – law enforcement, the action, the Avery family, and the developing romance of Miles and Melissa. And, for me – there was nothing to dislike at all.Fake marriages very seldom work in any kind of story – for any reason, but this one really had a great thing going for it. The Avery family is definitely one that anyone would want to be a part of.I would’ve liked to have seen more of Lawson and Bree, as well as heard an update on her sister. This story is briefly mentioned in chapter nine (9).Vaughan’s writing kept this at a near non-stop pace. It was so fast-paced that I could barely take notes. And, I had to stop to catch my breath. The author definitely has a gift for intense story-telling.And, she even threw in a twist that left me wondering – what is going on here?Vaughan also delves into the world of secrecy and both sides of it – both the good and bad sides. The good that protects people like Melissa, but the bad that can also hurt people like her.This is a Love Inspired Suspense so there will be mentions of God and faith. They are not central to the story though. The tone isn’t preachy either.Fans of the series, the author, and genre are sure to LOVE this book. I’m eagerly awaiting book #3 in this series.
