Description from the publisher:
Reader Warning: You'll need to
buckle up and load up on snacks and energy drinks, because this baby clocked in
at 112,000 words. But the heartwarming
story is filled with adventure, dry humor, quick-witted banter, a touch of
mystery, and a hard-earned HEA. :)
Raised on
the streets, Shay Morgan yearns for a real family, where love
is unconditionally offered—even when trust doesn’t come easy. Before that day arrives, she trespasses and
steals in order to provide for the few people who’ve gone out of their way to
protect her.
Born to
privilege, Ben Bishop loathes his family for the despicable
things they’ve done, and not done. He
vows to be different, play by the rules, do the right thing. Building a thriving nightclub with those who
share his values dominates his world.
One
explosive night at his bar, Loading Zone, changes everything. For both of them. Forever.
A dance of
opponents commences as they thwart with suspicion, start to trust, then
sidestep to protect themselves from a fatal blow. Until they soon wonder if they’ve been
fighting for the same side all along.
As they
begin to open their hearts, they up the stakes with a one-week pact. She shows him the power in breaking the law. He demonstrates the virtue of following it.
Then a
far-reaching crime is suddenly exposed—that his family committed. And for one chance moment, Shay and Ben hold
the key to right the wrong, correct the injustice. But at what cost?
Will they
be able to return from the other side together? Or will their differences tear them apart?
Flirting with danger...has never
been so tempting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LAWBREAKER is the third book in the
Unbreakable series. They are each meant
to stand on their own and they do.
With a Robin Hood theme and a solid
look at the plight of the modern working man – one paycheck from the streets –
and those already on the streets, LAWBREAKER is more than a romance. It is the perfect book to have been my first
read of the New Year. It is a reminder
to count my blessings and to always lend a helping hand where I can.
On the surface, most would think
that Ben, born of privilege, and Shay, living on the streets, couldn’t be more
different. As their story is told, we
find that may be their only difference.
Ben may follow every rule placed in front of him and Shay knows how to
twist them to meet needs, but in the end they’re each following their hearts. Thankfully, those hearts find each other.
I loved the banter, the sense of
family being in those you can depend upon not necessarily blood, and societal compassion
that fills the pages of this story.
There were some very tough subjects addressed with grace and a strong
sense of justice that needs to be met.
I loved getting to know Shay and
Ben. I loved that even when I thought I had
them figured out, there was always another twist to be added. And, of course, I loved that Kiki, Cade,
Mason, and the rest of my favorite past characters were able to smooth their
path to happiness. (I’m still imagining Kiki
with fairy godmother wings!).
