It was great to start the year reading another story from this wonderful series.
In the previous book we had a little glimpse of Karsyn and Tucker, and now we got to know their story.
The story begins with the separation of Karsyn and Tucker when she declares her love for him. She was willing to make things more serious, but he didn’t know how to handle the feelings that arose.
Almost a year goes by until they finally reconnect and decide to give the feelings that still exist between them a chance. And what a beautiful chance they have, when they are together they are pure chemistry and feelings. Not to mention Major, who is extremely cute.
But when Karsyn’s past comes to affect the balance they finally found, the whole team will come together to solve the problem once and for all.
I loved the story and the characters, and especially being able to see what is happening in the lives of the other characters in the series.
I highly recommend the reading.
In this addition to the LSERT series we finally get to Tucker and Karsyn’s story. Theirs is a beautiful second chance romance. They were in a relationship together and then they both made some mistakes so now they’re both miserable apart. Tucker knows right away that he blew it and that he needs to fight like hell to get Karsyn back. Karsyn is still devastated by their breakup but she knows Tucker is the only one for her. You really need to read this book to see what happens on their journey. Ms. Briscoe truly captured the essence of a second chance romance in this beautifully written story. The honesty that the characters are written with makes them relatable as does the honesty in the emotions conveyed in this book. Just when I think that Ms. Briscoe can’t surpass her last book she releases another book that blows my mind. She is a VERY talented author who I CAN’T recommend highly enough!! I SERIOUSLY CAN’T WAIT to read the next offering from her!! I was given an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion of this book. I would definitely recommend it and the rest of the LSERT series and anything else that Ms Briscoe writes.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Karsyn Fallaway: Tucker didn’t stop my car as it drove away from his house that summer night, and the sting of rejections hasn’t gone away. Over a year has gone by and I find myself looking for him in all the places he’d been before. It doesn’t help, he’s still an enigma I have yet to figure out. My friends are the only thing holding me together. Work is the on thing keeping my mind busy. Until my life threatens to tear completely apart.
Tucker Williams: She drove away and my pride wouldn’t allow me to stop her. A year later, regret keeps me up at night, forcing me to replay the moment in my head. Working with the K-9’s is the only thing keeping me going. Becoming close with the former MTF is a perk I hadn’t counted on. When a child is kidnapped, all the hard feelings aside to save a life. Secrets are unearthed, and this time as Karysn threatens to break, I know I’m the one to put her back together.
This book started out a little slow for me and I have yet to figure out why. I usually devour these. However if you feel the same way, don’t give up it picks up and gets going. Tucker and Karysn were a thing and she did the unthinkable and caught major feelings for him. However he didn’t know how to return those felling and has been regretting her driving away from him that night for as long as it’s been since it happens. She too feels the same way since he didn’t stop her and it broke her heart. He knows he messed up and he is willing to try anything in his power to get her back. This is where it gets good and I loved that things did not just fall right into place and she automatically forgave him and ran back into his arms. This book is good and so worth reading I loved the characters and the story line does keep you on your toes.
This is the 3rd book in this phenomenal series and is Tucker and Karsyn’s story. This is a beautifully written story which is an amazing addition in this series. This story is filled with undeniable chemistry, secrets, emotion, and love.
I was totally captivated throughout this riveting story and I highly recommend for all readers. I cannot wait to read more in this fantastic series.
Another book from Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team and I suggest you grab a cuppa, sit back and throughly enjoy this second chance at love story with a wonderful small town atmosphere.
Karsyn Fallaway and Tucker Williams have a prior history but it ended badly, now Tucker is determined not to ruin things again but he needs to convince Karsyn to give him a second chance.
I enjoyed the straightforwardness of both characters and their ‘no rubbish, only honesty’ policy. Both have a great sense of fun but Tucker’s is a little more naughty at times. Together they have sensational chemistry, but more than that, they work hard to deepen their relationship.
Major the K-9 dog Tucker trained and looks after- as well as uses in his work, absolutely steals the show in this book. What a total sweetheart! Rambo, the other dog is too, they just melt your hearts.
I did find myself chuckling in some of the scenes, especially the one where Ransom describes when Rambo wants to get some love and affection alongside Stella! For most of the book, the pace is quite calm, but then when the action starts things really heat up and the pace becomes much faster. That particular part of the story is also ‘sit on the edge of your seat’ exciting too.
A feel good, light love story that I found thoroughly entertaining.
This book is what real life is about .
It’s about having fears and doing unreasonable stuff like breaking up with the woman you love because you got scared and decided to push her away.
It’s about learning from your mistakes and then deciding enough is enough and doing everything you can to return the light in your life and never letting go. It’s about learning that sometimes hot sizzling chemistry just isn’t enough.
This story had tears, laughter and moments where ones heart was so full of love that I didn’t know what to do with myself. With each book in LSERT series I lose my heart peace by peace to these characters.
I’ve said it before and say it again Laramie Briscoe knows how to write amazing blue-collar men and women and I’m an absolute fan.

This was a perfect read for me. Tucker and Karsyn was in a semi relationship but when she did the unthinkable to Tucker, caught feelings lol, he immediately cut ties with her and broker her heart. I loved that when Tucker realized the mistake he made he worked for it and tried hard to get back in her good graces which made it better cause he wasn’t immediately forgiven for hurting her. She is dealing with past trauma and when she finally opens to Tucker about her past he becomes her strength and it was great to read his growth.
Awe these two just tugged on my heart strings. Tucker and Karsyn are finally giving into a second chance. I felt their time apart gave them both the growth they needed. Karsyn’s backstory was so not what I was expecting and I felt the way the author wrote it was spot on!
One of my favorite things about this author is her ability to write dialogue even via text that is authentic. You can hear the voice of each unique characters even the ones that are not the main characters for this particular book.
I hope she continues to write more LSERT!
Omg, another amazing book. I couldn’t put this down once started.
I loved seeing all the characters again. This story had everything I wanted and more.
I loved Tucker and Karsyn together. It may of taken them a while to get their act together. But they was perfect for each other.
Laramie Briscoe did amazing job on this book.
I highly recommend this book.
Enigma is the third title in the Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team series, featuring Karsyn and Tucker. Their story is a sweet, second chance romance with a touch of intrigue and suspense.
Their past have left an impact on this pair, and it’s left them both have deep seated vulnerabilities, that they struggle to share with each other, which they need to move past in order to find a happy ever after.
Enigma is a small town romance with strong themes of family and friendship and there are plenty of cameos from past characters in the LSERT series and Moonshine Task Force.
what can i say about Tucker and Karsyn. These two will make you want to cry for them and cheer for them all at the same time. two people who are meant to be together but like all couples have to find their way back to each other.
Laramie takes on a very emotional ride with these two.
Once again Laramie Briscoe has written us a story with multi-dimensional characters and an engaging story.
Tucker and Karsyn are given a second chance at love together. Their time apart helped put wants and desires into perspective. AS they slowly rebuild a relationship, Karsyn will need Tucker to step up and be a pillar she could lean on. Their story isn’t for the feint of heart but will put you back together at the end. I am enjoying the LSERT family as much as I love the MTF.
I love this book, infact, I love this series and from the way I see it (or read it), it seems this series just keep getting better and better.
Enigma has all the angst, the steam, the forgiveness, the anxiety and a cute dog which is Major! Also, I get to see Menace! I confessed that I squealed whenever Menace came into the scene, he is my #1 all time heroes that Laramie Briscoe has created thus far. Plus I love reading all about second chances and this is one of the best second chances book that I’ve read.
You can never go wrong with Laramie Briscoe’s books, so go ahead and pick one up!
Enigma is book 3 in the Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team series by Laramie Briscoe. An amazing book, a sweet and beautiful second chance romance! This is Karsyn Fallaway & Tucker Williams story. Loved the wonderful engaging characters and their playful banter, the support of the small town of Laurel Springs, the strong friendship and loyalty from the guys of LSERT and the older members of the police department. I highly recommend this story and the LSERT series!
I Voluntarily Received and Reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
Tucker stopped her and gave her a ticket . She added her phone number with her signature. Eventually, that brought them together until he got scared off by her feelings. Regret was almost immediate. Could he get her back?
Karsyn had a past. One she refused to share. She just wanted her life to go on and leave that past behind. She thought that’s what she had with Tucker. He trained the k-9s and had a working dog himself. Even his dog loved her. She lost him too. Tucker wants her back? After all the pain she wasn’t sure she could take that chance again. Leaning a little about his past helped but she still fought him.
For those who have read LSERT series will love watching the couple fight for a future. If you haven’t read the other books you still love this one and not have a problem filling in the back story as the author does it well. The couple and all of their friends and coworkers are strong, funny, caring and loyal. Watching them grow as families and friends keeping their community safe is as good as the love story and the steam. Lots of steam.
A wonderful read I couldn’t put down.

This series is great, every story just gets better and better. Tucker and Karsyn’s relationship has some bumps that they overcome, it is a fun ride to watch them get there. I loved the fundraiser….so may wins there. I can’t wait for the next story!
I have been desperate for Tucker and Karsyn’s story and it was so worth every moment of anticipation! Tucker and Karsyn had been in a tenuous relationship, a friends with benefits thing until Karsyn developed feelings. She confessed her love and Tucker baled, breaking her heart. Tucker has spent the last year trying to get Karsyn to open back up to him. Karsyn finally gives him a sign that she would be will to try. I couldn’t pull myself away from this book! I consumed the whole thing in a day while at the same time regretting it since we won’t have another LSERT book for a little while. The beauty of their story just blew me away. Sweet and heart-wrenching, insanely hot and amusing, Enigma was everything! Laramie Briscoe’s talent is simply phenomenal, I love her books so much! If you haven’t taken a chance on this wickedly good author, you simply must!
I knew Karsyn and Tucker’s story was going to be a great one. Major was the cutest.
Tucker was amazing when he finally pulled his head out of his butt… lol. I absolutely love him and Major.
Karsyn knows Tucker is the man she wants to be with. I loved her so much and learning the secrets she was afraid to share with the people that cared about her.
Their story was beautiful and I’m so happy they got their HEA.
Tucker and Karsyn’s story is a heartwarming second chance, without the angst and drama. I love how they were able to use their time apart to grow as individuals, and how their separation was handled with maturity, despite the pain they both felt. Karsyn had some very heavy issues from her past to deal with and Nick was her rock through it all. The support of their family, both blood and otherwise, is an amazing thing. Laramie does an excellent job conveying the personalities of the characters she writes. There is wonderful consistency with each character’s development, it’s like I know them personally. I found myself laughing out loud with the guys’ teasing banter and fanning myself when Tucker and Karsyn were alone. Another 5 star read!
I loved the chemistry between Tucker and Karsyn. Their past will keep them apart for a little while but their love for one another will overcome the hurt. Enigma is filled with laughter, love, sexy time and heroism.
