Lassiter's Law

Laurel was only trying to protect her young charge, Teddy, when she climbed out the window onto the roof and ran away from the house. Now she has a P.I. on her trail trying to find Teddy and take him back to his father. Sam Lassiter believed the man that hired him really cared about getting his son back, but once he sees the innocence in Teddy's nanny's eyes he can't help but think that she's innocent. But, what will that mean for Sam and Laurel and Teddy? This book was really good because while it had a good plot it also paid a lot of attention to the romance. I thought that the romance started pretty quickly, but had nice development for the small book. I would suggest this book to anyone who likes Harlequin Intrigue and people who are looking for a quick, romantic thriller. Loved it!

This is a closing on some of York's other works and an excellent ending at that. The main story of Sam and Laurel. A very full plot! Sam, a resigned police officer gone PI is hired by a man who says his wife is dead and the wife's friend who was hired on as the nanny has run off with his son. To top it off, the nanny is an ex-con charged with an accessory kidnaping. Sam quickly catches up with the missing boy and nanny only to be clouded with suspicion over the father's story and maybe everything is not as it seems when the nanny begs and pleads to help them escape the father who killed his own wife and is out to hurt the boy as well. Now, Sam must protect both of them and watch his own back as well while trying to figure out what is really going on and how does it all tie into Lucas and Hannah's past? A very full plot with many twists and turns, action packed, and an excellent closing that enables past characters Hannah and Lucas to breathe freely and come out in the open to get married, finally! York delivers in this book even more then past books! This would definitly rate a 6 stars out of 5 if it was possible! One very good thing about York's Intrigues is that if you missed some of the previous books, you are not left wondering or out of place. All her works are wonderful, but this books definitly lurks right towards the top.

...which is to say, excellent suspense and a deft avoidance of cliches in the short category format. A P.I. is hired by a man to find the nanny he accuses of killing his wife & abducting his child. When the P.I. catches up with her, she says it was the father who killed the wife & she took the child to protect him. Lots of trust issues, and a kid who's not overly cute or precocious, as well as some top-notch suspense. Part of a trilogy, but I haven't gotten to the previous ones yet, and I didn't feel like I'd missed anything.

This is one of the best romance/suspense stories I've read in an long time. This is an winner.Ex-con Laurel Coleman and PI/recovering alcoholic Sam Lassiter are thrown together to save the life of an sweet, five-year old little boy, while they are trying to save each other emotionally. Both have painful pasts that they are trying to overcome. Laurel is not the dangerous woman Sam is lead to believe and Sam is not the downbeaten man he think he is. With their growing tempation for each other admist the growing danger around them, they can overcome their past.
