WOW! Lauren Bach Has Done It Again!

This is the second story by Lauren Bach and I must say that I am not disappointed in the least!This story was great and I found myself not wanting the story to end. The story of Alec and Keira is a story of second chance at love.Alec left Freedom Arkansas looking for "freedom". What he left behind was the only girl that he has ever loved. He is now back 10 years later as a member of ATF and undercover to protect that girl and hopefully be able to get out of Freedom with his heart intact.Keira has stayed on in Freedom and has gotten on with life and has put the heartbreak of Alec behind her. At least she thinks she has but when circumstances require Alec to come back and use her and their old relationship as a cover she finds out that she still loves him.The suspense in the story is entwined and is built upon so there is a great ending in store for the reader. This is a great sencond novel by this author and I can hardly wait for her next novel. I hope that she is working on it now!

A scorcher!

The last thing in the world that Alex Dempsey wanted to do was to return to Freedom, Arkansas. When he had run out on his high school sweetheart on the day of their elopement ten years ago, he had been determined to find a life for himself outside of the small town confines of Freedom - even though it had broken his heart to leave Keira behind. He was happy with his life now as an ATF agent. When he was assigned as an undercover agent on an assignment back in Freedom, he refused to go. Until he was told that Keira's life was in danger. Why did his heart speed up just thinking about Keira? He was over her. Wasn't he? Would she still hate him, still be carrying a grudge against him for leaving her behind, never contacting her in those ten long years?Keira Morgan had finally gotten over the heartbreak of having Alex stand her up on the day they were supposed to elope. It had been a long time ago. Ten years in fact. One could get over anything in ten years. Couldn't they? As she came face to face with Alex outside Franny's Style Salon in the newly revived downtown district of Freedom, she discovered that the one thing a person couldn't get over was being stood up at the altar - even though it had been ten long years ago.Seems Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.Lauren Bach has written one hot book - in more ways than one. Word of warning - you will need an oven mitt to handle SLOW HANDS. The steam literally rises from the pages as you turn them. Lauren has a fascinating way of combining two genres, romance and mystery, that leaves the reader breathless - and begging for more.*** ...

ANOTHER WINNER FROM BACH

I loved LONE RIDER and was anxious to see how Ms. Bach would follow-up. Have no fear! I think the plot is actually better in this book than her first. Well, her first book did have that motorcycle/macho man thing. . . In SLOW HANDS you get great characters - faults and all, sizzle in the romance department, danger, suspense. . .all in one package. Can't wait for her next book. A KEEPER. You might want to try out Glenna McReynolds' RIVER OF EDEN, too.
