Review:

"Lana's Lawman" by Karen Leabo a good contemporary romance read about second chances and the second in 'The Brides of Destiny.' This read was of two (Lana and Sloan) people who had been love for around three weeks during their senior year but that soon ended and each when on there many ways until ten years later. Now, we find that Lana is divorced from Bart, her cheating husband and has a eight year old son and struggles daily to get by taking care of her son (Rob) and doing all of this while getting her college education. On her way to her friend, Callie's wedding Lana has a accident and she ends up in a ditch and this is where Sloan Bennett enters back in to her life. Lana finds out he is now a police officer. A lots has changed from Sloan's 'bad boy' days. What will happen as we see that these two people still love each other but will have a hard time trying to work out those feelings to each other. This is where I say you must pick up "Lana's Lawman" to read the outcome of it all. The characters were all very well developed that gave the reader an interesting drama and also giving you a well written novel that I would recommend as a good read. ( )

3 STARS

Lana's Lawman is a Loveswept Classic Romance now an ebook. Thier is some sex and swearing in the book.
Back in high school at a fundraising carnaval a Fortune teller showed up gave the high school girls thier fortune through a poem and gave them a little toy like out of a gumball machine than disappeared. Lana got a badge.
So far two of the girls fortune has come true.
Lana Gaston and her sob Rob were on thier way to her friend's wedding when her car had problems and it was raining. Lana was relieved when a cop pulled up.
Sloan Bennett once a tough guy in high school is now a cop. They had dated in secret for a short while till Lana broke it off.
Now Lana was divorced from her lawyer husband. She was verbally abused in that relationship. Having a tough time affording extras in her life. Now Sloan is back in her life.
Sloan gives them a ride to the wedding. He is going to handle parking for it. He was never good enough for Lana. He was surprised to still having feelings for her after all these years.
When later Rob has a accident with the roof of her garage collasping on him. Sloan recongized the address and came. He gave Lana a ride home from the hospital. The next day he showed up to fix her roof. He would not accept payment but did accept her dinner invitation.
Lana does not like to accept help because of how her exhusband responds and treats her.
Sloan keeps making excuses to stop by he wanted to try again with her.
Lana has not been divorced for too long and is still finding her way by herself.
It was a good romance story. Had enough drama in it to make the story.
I still feel like thier is something missing about the fortune teller even a reason really to having it in thier lives so many years ago.
I was given this ebook to read in exchange of honest review from Netgalley.
