Summary: Just as good as "Gun Shy"
Review: This is a very well written, quite a love story. Makes you wonder were Dez and Jaylynn have been all this time. I read Gun Shy first, and as usual Lori Lake did not disappoint me with this sequel. I'd like to hear more of Dez and Jay's love affair. I personally think Lori Lake has great talent and I will continue to buy her work. If you want to be well entertained, left wanting more, then read this lady. She is well worth the money.

Summary: Romance, drama and action in a fabulous sequel to Gun Shy
Review: This novel picks up right where Gun Shy left strong veteran cop Dez and her rookie partner (both on and off the job) Jaylynn. Their happiness is clouded by events that force Dez to deal with pent-up stress, emotional baggage and the everlasting question of whether loving and losing is better than never having loved at all. Since the two main characters are policewomen, there is certainly a fair amount of action and police procedure in this book, but foremost the book delves deeply into concepts of strength and weakness, physical as well as emotional. I liked this book a lot. You really get to know and feel for the characters. Especially fascinating was Dez's struggle to handle her emotional problems, when so much of the character's self-image seems built on her being the strong, stoic hero coping alone with issues big and small. The way Jaylynn deals with her partner's inner turmoil is also nicely depicted, with a realistic portrayal of her sometimes understanding and at other times, like a lot of their surrounding characters, fooled by the strong self-sufficient appearance of her partner. I strongly recommend this book. Read Gun Shy first though since it's just as good! Also, if you like this one, try some of Radclyffe's books which are similar, but different. Radclyffe's are often similar story-wise with a lot of focus on strong women, but less fleshy character depiction and more fleshy love scenes. Really good reads the lot of them.

Summary: A book worth owning
Review: Under the Gun is the second in the Gun Series by Lori L. Lake. Though it is a continuation of the lives of Police Officer Dez. Reilly and Rookie Jaylynn Savage, it is by no means dependent on Gun Shy. This story is strong enough to stand on it’s own, but if you are familiar with Lori’s work, you’ll want to own them both. As with Lori’s other two published works, she has the ability to build a story so complete that you know these characters, both main and secondary (as is the case with Dr. Marie Montague), and she achieves this without being wordy. She keeps her stories tight, giving you the information you need to get to know the people and what is going on, but not giving you unnecessary information as to make things drag on. Lori sets the stage, and lets things play out. Under the Gun finds Dez. and Jaylynn trying to build a relationship outside their roles as police officers, after having just recently accepted their feelings for one another. Things become very shaky when Officer Savage meets with a few personal injuries while on duty, testing Dez’s confidence to trust in Jaylynn’s ability to perform her job, feeling that she must shield Jaylynn from all the evil that they may encounter. This, of course, puts a strain on their personal and professional relationship. This book shows her characters, warts and all. You want to cheer their successes, sympathize their difficulties and mourn their losses. It is a story that will draw you into their world and entertain you from start to finish. It is a story that seems almost real enough to not be fiction. It is a story worth trying.
