Lawman to the Core (The Law in Lubbock County, 3)

How can one little cute baby create chaos and mayhem? Little David Is in Hallie’s custody, but they’re both in danger. Hallie turns to Nick for help and it’s a whirlwind of activity until the end. Seriously, every page is drenched in action and drama, with a bit is spice and cuteness. Dissent kept me bouncing back and forth as who the bad guys were, with plenty of good law enforcement to counter the villains. It has a happy ending, despite all the hell Nick and Hallie endure.

Well written romantic suspense. This book 📕has an edge of your seat plot that kept me glued to the pages. My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my advance book. This is my unbiased review.

A new to me author; I enjoyed Lawman to the Core. Easy to read with non stop action. I liked that there were many suspects and I couldn’t figure out who was behind the attacks and why they wanted the baby. Good chemistry between the main characters.

Lawman to the Core by Delores Fossen is book #3 in the Law in Lubbock County series. There's lots of action and suspense in this storyline. Former ATF agent Hallie Stanton is in the process of adopting a baby boy rescued from a black market baby selling ring. When an intruder breaks into her house Hallie grabs baby David and goes to the home of her former ATF boss, Nick Brodie, for help protecting baby David. Together they face a number of shootings and much danger. I really like these two main characters. I enjoyed reading along as they faced their attraction to each other. Their road to a Happily Ever After was strewn with lots of danger but I'm sure they felt it was all worth it in the end. I received an ARC and this is my honest review.

Another wild ride of a story from this author. There was nonstop action from the first page to the last as Nick and Hallie raced to keep a black market baby ring infant safe. The book starts with a rush as Nick arrives home to find Hallie aiming a gun at him, desperate to discover if he was responsible for an attack on her and baby Davy. Several months earlier, they had been involved in shutting down a weapons/drug/baby trafficking ring and were wounded in the process. Hallie left the ATF to become a PI and is in the process of adopting Davy, but someone has other plans for the boy. I loved the balance of romance and suspense in this book. Nick and Hallie worked together in the ATF for several years, and their sparks were undeniable. But as the team leader, having any relationship with Hallie was out of the question, so he suppressed those feelings. Like Nick, Hallie felt the same attraction but never acted on it. With that barrier gone, anything is possible - once the threat to them is gone. I liked watching the relationship between Nick and Hallie develop. Because they already know each other well, the rapid progression is believable. I liked how moved Nick was by Hallie's obvious love for Davy and how quickly Davy wiggled into Nick's heart. Nick and Hallie grew closer as they worked together to discover who was behind the attacks, but it took nearly losing each other for them to realize how deep their feelings were. The story's suspense had me glued to the pages from start to finish. From the beginning, the attacks clearly have something to do with the black market baby ring, but what is behind them? And why are Nick and Hallie being set up to look like they are involved in a cover-up? I could feel their frustration as every trail they followed led to a different suspect, and the attacks on them escalated in intensity. The final confrontation was a nail-biter as Nick and Hallie fought for their lives against someone determined to keep his secret. I liked seeing more of Leigh and Cullen from <i>Sheriff in the Saddle,</i> as both played significant roles in this book. Now I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
