The Brides of Destiny : Lana's Lawman

Rating:
Summary: a must read
Review: If you haven't read Karen Leabo, you need to give her a try. She is able to write male characters that really seem to care about the women that they are falling in love with in the story. It's the kind of fantasy that you want to read...

Summary: Who Wouldn't Want to be Wrapped in the Arms of this Lawman!
Review: In high school Lana Gaston was the dream of every adolescent boy. Beautiful, curvaceous, and intelligent, she epitomized the American Dream. A brief fling with "bad boy" Sloan Bennett scared her so badly she ran straight into the arms of the football captain. When her marriage to the now high power lawyer ends, Lana has little money, no prospects, and a son spoiled rotten by his wealthy father. Determined to stand on her own two feet, Lana finds everything she attempts turns to disaster. More unnerving is the fact the Sloan Bennett, now a police officer, comes to her rescue like a knight in shining armor. All of her old feelings for him spring to life; revived and played in living color like a favorite movie. She ran from him not because of his reputation, but because she knew she'd found a love to last a lifetime. Too young to accept the truth, she let destiny intervene.Lana Gaston represented all that was good, pure, and beautiful to Sloan Bennett. When she consented to date him in high school, he knew the dream bubble would burst. What he wasn't prepared for was the pain it would cause. Now the tables seem to have turned, and it is Lana who needs him.LANA'S LAWMAN is the second in a series comprising the "Brides of Destiny" trilogy. Karen Leabo knows her craft and creates well-drawn characters. Tightly written plots and ring-true dialogue make Ms. Leabo a writer to watch. All three books share a common prologue that ties each story together. A clever premise and excellent research make all three books worth reading. Look for my reviews of CALLIE'S COWBOY and MILLICENT'S MEDICINE MAN.Kathee S. Car
