It's been a while since I read book one to the Lone Star Law series and it took me a while to remember what happened after a bit of confusion in the second book.  I suggest reading the series in order.

I enjoyed the scenes whenever Dale and Lindsey were together and was enjoying the slow burn romance until they exchanged their "I love yous."  I thought that came a bit too quickly and would've liked to have seen it develop in another book.

It was nice to see a character pop up from a different series even though it was a short appearance.

DEA agent Dale Nelson is working hard to put the drug dealers behind bars that killed her wife.  Things get complicated when the taskforce investigating the cartel responsible for the death of her wife is shaken up by politics.  Dale has to act as a liaison to help Lindsey do a puff piece on the DEA. Dale and Lindsey don't see eye to eye at first but soon attraction takes over.

I loved Dale but didn't connect with Lindsey at all.  I was not very interested in what was going on between them I was more interested in the secondary characters.  I can't wait to see what's going to happen next especially to Bianca.

Rating 3 of 5
I received this book from Bold Strokes Books for an honest review

Above the Law was good, not great, in my opinion. While it had a good storyline and was engaging to read, it seemed to suffer from a few issues that are common to the second book in a series. This book was more of a setup story or a bridge between the first novel, Lay Down the Law, and the books set to follow.

The main characters, Dale and Lindsey, are both strong and dedicated to their profession. But the plot of this book kept them at odds, fighting their mutual attraction of most of it. When they did get together, in the final few chapters, it felt rushed. Not to mention there was a lot of unanswered questions left between them.

I can only figure this to be an opening for their relationship to grow and the questions to be answered in the forthcoming books.
