REVIEW: Lawman to the Core by Delores Fossen

In Lawman to the Core by Delores Fossen, former ATF agent Hallie Stanton is in the process of adopting baby David, who had been rescued from what turned out to be a black-market baby ring, but someone is determined to see that it doesn’t happen.

When signs point to her former boss, ATF special agent Nick Brodie, who had also been at the bust the discovered the black-market ring, Hallie confronts her old colleague, only to discover the information she received was wrong when they are attacked in his home. Then David’s biological mother turns up dead, and all signs point to Hallie. Someone is playing games with them, making them both, along with another former ATF agent, appear guilty.

The attraction that was always between them burns bright as they have to put their trust in one another, since there are very few other people they can trust. Along the way, Nick starts to also fall for David, and is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery before either one of them gets hurt.

This is the third book in The Law in Lubbock County series. I haven’t read the previous books in the series. While I felt like Nick and Hallie may have been first introduced in one of the previous books, I didn’t feel like I was missing anything in regard to the characters or the storyline, so I feel this works well as a standalone.

Filled with twist and turns, plenty of suspects, and non-stop action from beginning to end, Lawman to the Core is a book fans of romantic suspense won’t want to miss.
