Book Review: Loving the Lawman (Love Inspired)
Author: Ruth Logan Hearne
I won this book in a contest and held off on reading it for
a while. I found myself surprised at the length of this book. For someone that
generally reads historical books in the 80,000-100,000 word range, this book
was small and had me zipping through it in a day. But the story was good,
covered a subject lot of women face today, but many consider controversial.
Pregnant widow, Gianna Costanza, moves to a small town in New York, looking for
a new start. And a place to raise her babies. Deputy Sheriff Seth Campbell’s
new tenant catches his attention from the moment she walks through his door.
Trouble is, she has less than no interest in another lawman and she doesn’t
seem concerned with the fact that she’s depriving the father of her children
the right to be a part of their lives. Circumstances and unwanted attraction
keep throwing this pair together. Despite their best intentions they find
themselves drawn to each other. This is a quick moving, sweet story that hit me
in a way most don’t.
Rating: Loved it
Young Reader Rating: 13 and up
This book has some areas that could be seen as inappropriate
for younger readers. The heroine is expecting twins conceived using the help of
modern medical technology. She is a single mother that made the choice to have
a baby after her husband died. The hero is divorced, his former wife is a drug
addict that abandons her child on his doorstep. The young girl has had a hard
life and there are hints that she may have been through traumas at the hands of
her mother’s boyfriends.
