Virginia Vaughan's Cowboy Lawmen series keeps getting better and better! This is the third book in the series but can completely work as a stand-alone. I loved getting to know Miles and Lawson in the previous books and equally loved Paul in this book. Paul is a dependable and loyal navy SEAL who needs to pass his psychology evaluation to return to active duty. His protectiveness and sense of justice make him quite the hero. Shelby is the psychologist who is to complete his evaluation but her life derails when she's targeted by someone attempting to kill her. Both have regrets and losses, hold tightly to what they believe is the right thing to do and have a hard time letting go of control. But when Paul becomes involved in keeping Shelby safe, they need to learn that the One who is fully in control always has something more and better in store for them. The plot has twists and turns, non-stop action and suspense, narrow escapes, and a seemingly invisible villain that will have you on the edge of your seat from the first page to the last. The story line is well-crafted and the characters are lovable. The author addresses PTSD with respect and heart for those who suffer from it.
I can't wait to read the next book in the series about their little sister Kellyanne. I received the book via Celebrate Lit Tours and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are solely my own.
