WIND RIVER LAWMAN is a suspense-filled story with danger, a
feisty grandmother, and secrets from childhood. It tugs at
the heartstrings when the main characters reveal their
similar pasts and learn to trust and rely on each other's
love for them. I didn't want to put it down. Lyndsay McKenna
continues her Wind
River series about military veterans with PTSD and the
story of one of Wind River's hometown women and the new man
in town. Can they survive the dangers that surround them and
fall in love or will they be torn apart by their common
enemy PTSD?
Sarah Carter is a Marine Corp veteran with PTSD and has come
home to live in the Wind River Valley taking over her
father's position as sheriff. Her responsibilities are
numerous as sheriff and taking care of her family. The most
recent one is finding a wrangler with paramedic experience
to take care of her feisty grandmother.
Dawson Callahan has come to Wyoming to fulfill a dream he's
had since childhood. When he sees the ad in the Jackson Hole
paper, he applies. Sarah look into Dawson, but before she
can set up an interview, he shows up in Wind River looking
for work as a wrangler. When they realize that they're the
same people who've been e-mailing each other about her job
they strike up a conversation. An accident call comes in,
and since no one else is available, she deputizes Dawson to
come with her. Only it's an ambush by a drug cartel who's
trying to move into the area. Sarah is slightly injured, and
Dawson takes care of her. They can't sleep well because of
the PTSD they each have and can't stop thinking about each
other since there was an instant attraction.
WIND RIVER LAWMAN is the most recent book in the Wind
River series by Lyndsay McKenna. I look forward to
getting caught up on the series and reading the next
installment coming soon. Lyndsay McKenna writes with
experience and knowledge of military life and does a
fantastic job of showing what the life of a veteran with
PTSD is like and how to cope with it. She gives her
characters depth and emotion and pasts that are more than
meets the eye. She's been a favorite author for years now,
and I always look forward to her newest books and visiting
old stories.
The new novel from the bestselling author of Lone
Rider. Sometimes the war
comes to you . . .
After
serving as a Navy medic, Dawson Callahan is back in the
States and ready to start over. Leaving his native Texas, he
heads for the wide open spaces of Wyoming, where he finds
work as a wrangler. True, he’ll mainly be wrangling
chickens—and wrangling Sarah Carter’s granny, who’s still
spry, but in need of a little caregiving. But ranch work is
ranch work, and it’s hard to turn down a job offer from the
beautiful Sheriff Carter—especially when she deputizes him
as one of her lawmen.
Sarah loves her
grandmother, but with her law enforcement career keeping her
busy, they could both use some help from a strong, steady
man. And policing Lincoln County has only gotten tougher
since a merciless drug lord arrived in the area. When Sarah
takes a bullet on the job, it’s Dawson who comes to her
rescue—and though they both thought they left war behind in
Afghanistan, they’ll do whatever it takes to protect what’s
theirs, even if it means facing down traumas they’ve buried
for years. Because love isn’t for the faint of heart . . .
