Lawman with a Cause is the third installment in the Lawmen of McCall Canyon. Ms. Fossen has once again moved me with her writing style she doesn't disappoint with the suspense and action with of course romance. Egan and Jordan were once involved but then she left seeking her dream about being a cop in the city. After her friend was killed which was also Egan’s fiancé he resented Jordan because he thought she was responsible for her death. Now Jordan believes that Egan is trying to kill her but she needs to believe in him and together they will be able to overcome their situation. Who is trying to kill her and Egan? There are so many suspects but one stood out from all of them but I couldn’t figure out how this person was doing it. Jordan and Egan are meant for each other but they are literally dodging bullets and his father is in the middle of this battle. I’m still trying to figure out how each story involves Warren McCall and I want to know why. I know that he messed up and had an affair that lasted 3 decades. From the beginning Jordan is battered and bloody and it doesn’t stop until the very end and I felt so bad for her. I know that Egan loves her but is fighting his feeling for her but in the end Jordan and him are on the same page. They are going to have to move a lot in order for them both to stay safe.

I totally fell in love with this story. I can’t wait to read the final installment of this series and see if the McCall’s can embrace their stepbrother and forgive their father for his affair.

As I've learned to expect, a beautifully written and fun read. Fossen writes wonderfully believable stories with flawed but truly good heroes and heroines

This is a suspense and action packed book. New to me author and books, again. I seem to have forgotten to update all myy netgallery review's, again I mostly post them on goodreads and amazon. This book was great but not my style, I enjoyed it and it was easy to read. I would recommend it for the ones that love this type. I did enjoy the characters very much!!

A white-knuckle romantic suspense novel that will leave you breathless, Lawman with a Cause is an outstanding tale from one of the genre’s finest writers: Delores Fossen.

Jordan Gentry is the last person Sheriff Egan McCall expected to clap eyes on. The last time Egan had seen Jordan had been that horrible night when his beloved fiancee Shanna had been shot by a crazed madman. His courageous fiancee had taken the bullet aimed at Jordan and died on the spot and Egan has never quite managed to forget that episode or forgive Jordan for inadvertently taking the woman he had loved with all of his heart away from him.

With a serial killer on the loose targeting the recipients of Shanna’s organs, Jordan knows that she is in terrible danger and that the only person who can help her out of this predicament is none other than Shanna’s former fiance Sherrif Egan McCall. Although the man who had killed Shanna is now behind bars, it looks like there is another enemy at large desperate to settle old scores and determined to hunt Jordan and Egan down and kill them. With danger round every corner and jeopardy stalking their every move, the two of them must put their differences aside and focus on staying safe and catching a killer. However, what neither one of them imagined was having to contend with an inconvenient attraction to one another.

With a dangerous killer closing in on them, Egan and Jordan simply cannot afford any more distractions. However, resisting temptation proves easier said than done! Will they manage to bring a dangerous criminal to justice? And does their fledgling relationship stand any chance of surviving? Or is it simply not meant to be?

A writer who is more than a match for Nora Roberts, Delores Fossen has penned a first class romantic suspense novel I simply could not put down. Packed with jaw dropping twists and turns, shocking cliffhangers that will keep you guessing, sexy romance and spine-chilling suspense, Lawman with a Cause is a terrific read you will read in a single sitting!

A phenomenal tale full of danger, daring and desire, Lawman with a Cause is a terrific romantic suspense novel that should not be missed!

While this is part of a series, I read it as a stand alone and got everything I needed out of it. There were no unanswered questions.

This kept me guessing right until the end. It was never obvious on who was behind it all. It really could be anyone. Very suspenseful!

This author I have seen around several years with interest but finally getting to put my nose in one of her novels. Boy was I missing out too with the way these are laid out and the characters that take you into their tale. In this one Sheriff Egan is the hunk that captures you along with having to watch out for Jordan. The build up in this one will quickly capture your interest with the drama fueling your movements. Disappear into this one as the relationship develops with you seeing and looking for clues. This is a bit of a second chance also with that helping get caught up quicker. Suspense and romance what better combination to get swept away in with characters that have the weight to carry you also.

living. Now it seems that those who also benefited from the fiancees organs are being taken down as well and Jordan believes its Egan until he's also shot as well trying to help her out. After a few attempts at her life Egan will do everything in his power to protect her an find out who is behind this.

Just wow, this book was pretty great. There was so much going on from the moment the book starts that just places the readers right into the center of action. That was one of the reasons I loved this book so much and had a hard time putting it down. I couldn't help but question when the person would strike again and wondering who was behind everything and why. There was the lead that Jordan was following but I couldn't help but question what more was there. If you are looking for a action packed mystery your not going to want to miss this book.

Lawman with A Cause
Delores Fossen
Sheriff Egan McCall’s fiancé was killed during a hostage situation. Jordan Gentry, now a P.I., was one of the officers involved in the hostage/murder of Egan’s fiancé. Jordan also had a relationship with Egan when they were younger. After Egan’s fiancé dies, her organs are donated. Jordan ends up with one of her kidneys after she also took a bullet during the hostage situation.
Egan finds Jordan on the side of the road, shot and heading towards his ranch. Egan still holds Jordan responsible in the death of his fiancé, so he finds it hard to believe her when she tells him that there is a serial killer killing the people who have received his dead fiancé’s organs. Soon, due to a series of killings, Egan begins to believe her. Are these murders revenge for his fiancé‘s death or is it something else?
There are many plot twists and turns as well as suspenseful moments in this story. The story opens with a bang, literally. Serial killers killing women with donated organs from Egan’s dead fiancé provided a lot of action and suspenseful moments as Jordan and Egan try to find out who did it. Along the way, they learn forgiveness for what happened to Egan’s fiancé and realize that neither is to blame for what happened that day. I enjoyed this story and look forward to what happens next.

An explosive, danger-filled story that kept me guessing and my heart pounding.
Delores Fossen has the talent to write suspense stories filled with up close and deadly non-stop action, with constant twists that keep the story raveling in a tangled spin, and the readers on the edge. I absolutely love it when my conclusions are proven wrong time and again, keeping me clued into the tale, making it unputdownable.
The suspense and romance stories are well built into the series so that the immediate threat is solved yet the constant deadly danger hang close by.
Sheriff Egan McCall and Jordan Gentry have convoluted past. What makes the current situation even more awkward is the burning attraction both of them still feel for each other. They have no room for distraction with their lives in peril, yet with each and every deadly attempt on their lives, the old feelings come closer to the surface, and the situation, emotions, attraction between them comes unavoidably force, that no one can ignore.
The speed of the events is high, and it feels like everything happen in one moment of deep inhale. The number of possible culprits keeps the situation jittery, not knowing who to trust or what motivates the killer puts everyone's lives in danger, grinding the nerves, and honing the feels and hunches.
Another rapid-fire, edgy, and explosive romantic suspense tale from an author who knows how to keep readers hooked on the tale and wanting for more, I have an inkling the conclusion to the series will be as intense and explosive...
~ Four Spoons with a teaspoon on the side

Whilst this is part of a series, I believe it can still be read as a stand-alone and thoroughly enjoyed.

Sheriff Egan McCall is still reeling from the murder of his fiancée which happened in front of him after she’d been taken hostage. Her tragic death had, however, benefited others who had organs from her transplanted into them. One of the recipients is Jordan Gentry, his high school sweetheart and the hostage negotiator who was seriously injured in the same incident and the recipient of a kidney. Now, however, Jordan has come to tell him she believes someone is killing the recipients and she believes she could be next. Are the deaths connected?

When Jordan Gentry is attacked whilst with him, he suspects she is right and is in a quandary. He was heartbroken when she broke up with him. The attraction is still there. He can’t bear the thought of watching someone he cares for dying in front of him again. He’s also torn because he knows part of his fiancée is in her. She’s torn, too...... With everything going on around them can they trust each other and discover just who the murderer is? There are plenty of potential suspects but the main difficulty will be staying alive long enough to uncover them!

This is a great romantic suspense that I enjoyed escaping into and recommend to anyone who enjoys reading this genre. I requested and was gifted a copy of this book via NetGalley and this is my honest review after choosing to read it.

Lawman With a Cause is the third book in the Lawman of McCall Canyon series. In this book Sheriff Egan is trying to figure out exactly who is posing as him and committing crimes. While having to protect someone whom he isn't willing to forgive in the role of his fiancé's murder. While I thoroughly enjoyed the story between Egan and Jordan I am finding it harder and harder to read Fossen's work. I am finding a constant rerun of being stuck at the sheriff's office or having to sleep in the sheriff's office. It's almost as if it's a continuous of the same plot but with new character's. Unfortunately I feel disappointment in this.

I liked this story of Egan and Jordan, but it didn’t hold my interest like most of Delores Fossen’s books do. The storyline was a bit far fetched, and I’m still not sure I understand why Egan’s fiancé was killed. But I’m always happy with an HEA.

The reason this book is getting two stars is purely for the fact I really enjoy the author's writing style. But that's really the only reason.

I like my mystery/suspense stories to be full of angst and they have to that element of truth with it. Nothing of this story was believable... at all. Especially with the main two characters, Egan and Jordan. They went from the bottom of the scale with each other to the very top within, what? Two days? No, just no. This book was terribly rushed and repetitive. It wasn't enjoyable but it was eye catching, the Author's writing style is fabulous and I believe she could write some amazing mystery/suspense/thriller books... but not this rushed and unbelievable kind of storyline. Though the writing itself kept me hooked, the story and the characters did not. They use their phones an awful lot which was annoying. I liked Jordan, she was probably one of the only ones I did really quite like. Egan was okay, but to me he was just a bit OTT.

I really wanted to enjoy this, and I tried. Believe me, I did. And it was at three stars until there was some random intimate scene involved. I wasn't expecting it and I guess it just shouldn't have been in this kinda book.

Also, it wasn't a great 'who dunnit' book either. I don't want to write how and why because I don't want to spoil it for other readers, but it was pretty darn obvious from almost the beginning and the big reveal was pretty bad.

However much I wanted to really love this book, I couldn't. But that doesn't mean others won't. I mean, if you like rush-rush, fast-paced, predictable but quick adrenaline rush reads, then this is definitely for you.

I'd be interested in reading other books from this author, based solely on her writing style, but not this miniseries.

I love a rough and rugged cowboy, so this one appealed to me. Egan does technically fit that bill, but that's pretty much the best thing I found in this one. The romance is a second chance for Jordan and Egan, so I expected things to move quickly, but given the emotions between them in the beginning, this one moved at warp speed. It just doesn't ring true. Not even a little bit. I mean, the animosity between them is enough that Jordan believes Egan capable of trying to kill her in the beginning, yet they're moving in for a kiss in a matter of hours. Considering the level of Egan's grief and pain, I don't buy it. We also have a mystery to solve - who is actually trying to kill Jordan and why? Sadly, that was just as far-fetched as the romance for me. It's pretty obvious from the beginning even with a handful of red herrings thrown in. It is a quick read, and there are some tense and exciting moments, but for me, the writing is rather simplistic, and the story is rushed and not at all believable.

A new twist to Delores Fossen's books. This time the danger comes from an unexpected person and the reason is not what everyone thinks. There is enough tension, danger and gunfire for two books and packed into this one. A great read for Fossen fans. I loved the twist on the romance. It made for a different twist between the two main characters.

I received a free copy of the book in return for an honest review.

*review will post to my blog on 12/18/18.

Just when you think and old wound is starting to heal, something comes along to reopen it.  In the case of Sheriff Egan McCall, the injury that was Jordan Gentry is ripped wide open.  

Since this was my first Delores Fossen novel, I wasn't sure what to expect.  Let me tell you, I definitely wasn't prepared to be thrown headlong into the action on the very first page.  From the moment you open the book until the last page, you are constantly on the run with Egan and Jordan.  I loved how the story revolved around an organ donor and her recipients.  For me, that was an interesting storyline, one I hadn't read before.  Considering what you have to go through to even get on a transplant list, I'm surprised that there aren't more stories like this out there.  The little twist of why the recipients were being targeted wasn't something I had expected either.  

Egan and Jordan's back story was enjoyable as well.  One of the downsides of living in a small town is that you can never truly get away from your past and these two know that first hand.  It was also nice to see that the reason for Egan's attitude towards Jordan made sense. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose your fiancée and see her organ recipient regularly.  That reminder of loss and pain would be overwhelming.  Despite their antagonistic relationship, Egan and Jordan didn't bicker relentlessly or needlessly.  They did butt heads, but it was always with reason, never 'just because'.  Now, I love some good banter, even a little bickering, but when it does nothing for the story, it can get old fast.  These two weren't like that at all and it was a surprising change.  

I enjoyed Lawman with a Cause so much that, as soon as I finished it, I got online and ordered the first two in the series so I can be ready to go when the last in the series releases next year.  Time spent in McCall Canyon is time well spent, I'm beginning to see.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Yet another great book by Delores Fossen. She always leaves you guessing till the end. Really loving this new series.
