PRETTY LAWLESS by JODI LINTON
Laney Briggs is
searching for a few not-so good men, including her Texas Ranger boyfriend.
Fans of Lorelei James’s Long Time Gone Cat
Johnson’s Studs and Spurs series will love the sexy and suspenseful addition to
the Deputy Laney Briggs series by Author Jodi Linton.
Laney Briggs was almost certain
that her sexy-assed Texas Ranger, Gunner Wilson, was gonna pop the question.
Instead, he went and pulled one helluva fast one—he arrested her best friend,
Luke Wagner, and skipped out. Now Pistol Rock's firecracker deputy is ready to
go Wild West on Gunner…if she can just keep that raw, sexual chemistry under
control.
Gunner was planning to propose,
and it all went to hell. Now he's boots-deep into an investigation with ties to
the Dirty Southern Mafia and corrupt cops. Yep, Laney is definitely gonna have
his hide. Especially when she finds out just how much he's been keeping from
her…
But Laney has a weakness for
Gunner's delectable cowboy hotness. And for him, she will break every rule in
the book—including the ones she's sworn to uphold.
You cannot
even imagine the excitement when I heard that I would be reviewing Pretty
Lawless! Imagine a 16 year old girl going to a concert! That’s right, it was
pathetic! But I didn’t care, Jodi Linton writes the most amazing books and
Laney Briggs is one of my favorite characters! But then I remember that this is the last Laney Briggs book and
boom! Book hangover, before I even started!!
So we begin
the story in the mid of a gigantic cock-up, but not by Laney…its Gunner’s mess.
Gunner manages to shoot a dirty cop, arrest Laney’s best friend and is the
undercover agent on a swingers club/murder investigation and he did this
without telling Laney! As you can imagine, it didn’t go down well add to the
top of that, it’s Christmas and you might as well just put a fork in it! But
Laney wants to know why, save Luke and pretty much devastate herself by walking
away from Gunner…after a little punishment of course!
But a few
things get in the way of Laney’s anger plans, like a swingers party, strippers
and the fact that she actually loves Gunner puts pay to that plan. I am not
going to go too much more into the story; after all I encourage you to read
this book of deliciousness. But I will say, by the end of the book I was left satisfied
and I wondered if a door has been left open for a spin of….
The
entire book was delicious! And I will always think that Lacey as the truly most
perfect modern day heroine! And Gunner as a delicious stud muffin (ha-ha). The
writing was clean and flowed without any fluff, the plot was well thought out
and executed and the rest of the characters are perfect!
I give
Pretty Lawless a tearful 10 out of 10!

Her gaze fell to my ass, then rose to
my face. “I didn’t know a case of blue balls was on the dinner menu for the
evening.”
Ouch. In response to her question, I tipped
my hat and said, “Darling, I can’t help it if the good Lord made me healthily endowed.”
Her eyebrow arched. “Oh my god,
you’re thinking about me naked.”
Naked. Up against the wall. Screaming
my name. Hell, I’d
take any one of them and not in a particular order.
“Well, yeah.”
“That could become a real big
problem.”
“Tell me about it.”
Laney laughed, the girly sound of her
voice making the strain beating down my fly even more painful. “Because I’m
thinking about whether the townsfolk will disapprove of me sending another load
of rock salt into your ass.”
She must’ve noticed the wince that
slipped from my lips, because her upper lip twitched in an attempt to suppress
that pretty plump smile of hers.
I shrugged a shoulder. “They would, I
promise.”
“Really?” She stepped in closer and
ran a hand down my chest, sending every single cell in my body humming let’s
have sex. “I probably could convince them it was an accident,” she said,
tossing me a cute wink.
There’d be no argument from me on
that accurate assessment. Maybe if I played my cards right on the ride over to our
house she’d hear me out. God, I was gonna have to master a skill and learn
to swallow my pride this time around.
“If you give me a ride, I’ll confess
to whatever questions asked.”
The car keys dangled in her petite
hands—the same hands that held the power to drive me nuts by simply squeezing
my ass. She looked around, almost nervous about what to say next, then fitted
me with an icy stare capable of sawing me in two. “Well, cowboy, it looks like
you’re in luck. I know just the place to drop ya off at.”
Pathetic, how much I enjoyed that
nickname
