While back I had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook of BULL MOUNTAIN by Brian Panowich, which I really loved, so I was pleased to have the opportunity to read LIKE LIONS. I'm overjoyed to report that this book is just as awesome as BULL MOUNTAIN.

Sheriff Clayton Burroughs may have survived the events from the first book, but he's living with the guilt of being the one that finally put down his older brother. Although his brother was the head of the family's criminal enterprise, he was holding a woman hostage. Still suffering from the wounds he received when he was almost killed, Clayton knows no one blames him for his actions, but that doesn't stop him from feeling guilty. At least he still has his wife Kate and newborn son Even... if he doesn't manage to push her away. New problems are on the horizon and without the criminal Burroughs brothers to put fear in other criminals, it is up to Clayton to stop a rival organization from taking over.

I'm very pleased to say that LIKE LIONS is a great sequel to BULL MOUNTAIN. The second part of the novel especially rocked my socks. And even though I like Clayton very much is it Kate that really shows, once again, what a badass woman she is. Clayton really did pick the right woman to marry. The story has both action-packed and heartwarming moments. There are so many interesting things going on in this book, but I don't want to spoil anything. So, just get both books and read them in order. It's better that way! The book ended very satisfyingly. Now I just hope that it will be more books!
