Deputy Laney Briggs' life is not getting any better. She
was expecting her long-time boyfriend Gunner Wilson to
propose on Christmas Eve, instead he left without a word.
Laney is heartbroken and furious, especially since Gunner
arrested her childhood friend Luke Wilson on murder
charges. She enlists the help of sexy Federal Marshal
Colt Larsen to help her clear Luke's name.
PRETTY LAWLESS is the final instalment in Jodi Linton's
brilliant series, and things look grim for Laney Briggs.
PRETTY LAWLESS can be read as a standalone, although the
story arc started in the first book of the Deputy
Laney Briggs series, Ms. Linton supplies enough
background information, whether it concerns the suspense
angle or Laney and Gunner's tempestuous relationship, a
new reader to the series will be able to enjoy it without
any problem.
Laney has not had an easy nor happy life but things had
seemed to be going along nicely with her Texas Ranger
Gunner Wilson, the love of her life, until too many
secrets on his part ruined it all. Ms. Linton does a
great job at conveying Laney's hurt and anger, as well as
her love for Gunner that is enmeshed in the fabric of her
life. Laney has always been strong-willed with a take-
no-prisoner attitude, but never more so than in PRETTY
LAWLESS. Gunner is still searching for his parents'
murderer and things get much more complicated than he
ever anticipated.
The story moves along briskly and plot twists abound.
Jodi Linton possesses a unique voice: sharp and edgy,
with an innate talent for storytelling. The dialogues are
as brilliant as ever, infused with the sounds and
colourful expressions of the South, and Ms. Linton shows
even more sides to the already very complex characters as
events unfold. The suspense angle is riveting, as even
readers who have followed Deputy Briggs' adventures from
the beginning breathlessly await the conclusion, and more
stunners.
PRETTY LAWLESS is more of a straightforward romantic
suspense than the previous installments while still
remaining very sexy and fun. Jodi Linton demonstrates
again that she belongs up there with the best of them!
