A new series from the author of the Moonshine Task Force Series! Laurel Springs, AL is about to be hotter than a mid-August thunderstorm. When the Moonshine Task Force is absorbed into a new entity, Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team (LSERT) new faces come to town, new love is born, old love is found again, and there’s a plethora of drama and romance happening all over the tri-county area. … over the tri-county area. LSERT puts police, firefighters, nurses, doctors, K-9 handlers, and EMT’s all in harm’s way as they work to keep the area safe from any threat.
Emotions run high, passions ignite.
Come with me, back to Laurel Springs, in what’s sure to be a wild ride!
Ransom Thompson
For years I’ve wanted two things – to be a member of the Moonshine Task Force and to be the man Stella Kepler can’t live without.
One out of two isn’t bad, or so I tell myself. Being the only K-9 handler for The MTF presents its own share of obstacles, but me and Rambo? We make it work. Life is status quo, until I’m called in to help with what appears to be a hostage situation and Stella is right in the middle of it.
This is my one chance, and I’m not going to blow it.
Stella Kepler
When I’m stuck in an examination room holding a hurt woman and a man with a gun, I do the only thing I can. I sneak out, call 911 and hope help comes quickly. It does.
In the form of Ransom Thompson.
He and I have known each other since we were babies. Our mother’s are friends, our dad’s work together, and we’ve always been friends.
Only, the last few months I’ve started to notice things. How mature he is, how alpha he can be, the chiseled six-pack, and the abundance of ink spreading across his body.
When I offer to cook him dinner for saving me, neither one of us know how that one moment will change the course of the rest of our lives.

Seriously, what isn’t to love about this book? Ransom is all grown up and HOT as heck with a beautiful dog as a sidekick. Stella is the perfect modern southern woman, she’s sweet and sassy. When the two of them get together you just know it is going to be perfect once they realize their real feelings for one another and that they have the backings of their families and the MTF.
I swooned, laughed, gasped and cried. Ransom and Stella are the perfect couple.
One incident has the power to divert their HEA but in the words of Ransom, “In the middle of a crazy life – somehow she and I got the (expletive) fairytale – and damned if it didn’t turn out just how it was always meant to.”
When I heard this author was doing a spin off of the MTF I was curious – I mean I freaking LOVED that series and she ended it with a second generation book.
Picking back up with the second generation we meet Ransom who is Havoc (MTF #3) and Leighton’s son. He is a K-9 officer and his partner is Rambo. Let’s face it ladies we all love a man in uniform and Ransom is no exception. Stella is Renegade (MTF #1)and Whitney’s daughter. She’s currently working in a clinic and when a dangerous situation occurs she keeps a level head and call 9-1-1….bringing us to their story.
This is a well paced story with enough to please everyone. We get to see the struggles of law enforcement officers and the lives they lead as well as some of the effects those jobs have on their loved ones. We get to see how LSERT is formed and a hint of the next story. Overall as a reader I loved meeting these characters and cheering them along…and I loved seeing their parents again! I have to mention this story has one of my favorite things-A GREAT epilogue!!!
