Special Agent Nixon Cade wasn’t looking for anything long term when he met Melissia, but it turned out she left a lasting impression. When he landed a special assignment, a favor for the boss to help his daughter, Nix found out it was the very woman who had haunted his every waking hour. There are lines a man wouldn’t—shouldn’t—cross. He never messed with the boss’s daughter. No matter how … beautiful, brave, intelligent, mystifying she was. Nix would have to dig deep—very deep—to find the restraint to keep his hands, and his thoughts, to himself.
Admittedly, Melissia “Melly” Everhart hadn’t always had her life in order. Jumping from one impulsive act to another, she found herself pregnant from a one-night stand and realized it was time to settle down, find stability for her child. The best place to raise a child was her homestead, Shy Brooke. However, to attain ownership, she must prove to her father that she is responsible and capable of running a ranch. It was just like her father to expect her to jump through hoops…and this hoop involved the one man who she was connected to, although he had no clue she carried his child. But if she wanted the ranch she had to keep her secret safe until the deed was in her name.
Nix had made a promise to show Melly the ropes of running a ranch, but he could barely keep his head on straight. She went from hot to cold and he suspected something just wasn’t right…
A shadowy figure watched and waited for the opportune time to seek vengeance. He’d waited seven long years to make Cade pay for what he did. It was too good to be true when fate handed him the woman, and the baby was icing on the cake. No better way to make a man pay than to hold his family as leverage.
Will Nix find the truth in time? Will Melly pay the price for Nix?

Her stories keep you hooked and there is nothing worse than a book that makes you want to throw your Kindle across the room. I have never had that problem with Rhonda’s books. She is amazing and I highly recommend all of her books!

That is until he discovers that the assignment is watching over his boss’s grown daughter Melly – not an assignment he wants, but being new, he can’t refuse it! To make matters worse, he discovers that his boss’s daughter Melly, is also Melissa! Had he known who she was at the time, he never would have picked her up!

Mix their incredible chemistry and past indiscretions with their individual secrets, you get one amazing story! Must read!
Oh wow! This is going to become one of my favorite books by Rhonda Lee Carver. Nixon is a dedicated lawman and member of an elite team that takes on secret missions. Melissia is a former reality TV star who seems to have lost her way and wants to come home. Neither knew who each other was until Melissia’s dad gets them together without realizing they spent a night together. The story had all the feels, love, danger, intrigue, mystery and some really hot loving!! When someone comes after Nix, Melissia is also put in the line of danger along with the baby she is carrying that belongs to Nix. She is a tough and kick a## woman but can she protect herself and her baby? Will Nix and his buddies get to her in time? I loved this story. It kept me reading until the very end. I’m eager to see the stories of the rest of this group of men! Do yourself and favor and pick this book up!!!
A one-night stand changes everything for two strangers passing in the night, but will they survive to find their HEA?
Rhonda Lee Carver returns us to Wyoming with book 3 of her Lawmen of Wyoming series and Seized by the Lawman. It’s a good romance, light on the suspense but no less fun to read. Lust and love are tied up with honor and a dark past to create a good story of two people who cross lines and take chances.
The cover of the book is to die for. Rhonda Lee Carver know how to pick a picture. Character development is good. I’ve read the first two installments of the Lawmen series and this one is the best so far. Rhonda Lee Carver has hit her stride and comes out well. The plot is smooth with a few surprises. The addition of a mystery figure adds tension to the story that further heats up the romance. Well done.
A great read for western romance lovers.
“Seized by the Lawman” (Lawmen of Wyoming Book 3) by Rhonda Lee Carver is a great read. I loved Nixon ‘Nix’ and Melissia ‘Melly’! This story is a great addition to this series, packed with action, passion, romance, family, lawmen and former military. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series. Highly recommend to all fans of romance, lawmen, military, family, and series.
Rhonda Lee Carver has hit yet another home run with “Seized by the Lawman”.
Nixon Cade is a cowboy and also a part of a tactical force team, called Ghost Hawks. Our heroine is Melissa Easton, a rebellious woman who has Daddy issues.
Nix and Melissa meet and have a one night stand that leaves them booth thinking about each other daily. Neither knowing that their lives were going to be intertwined in the very near future.
Melissa is moving home to take over the ranch that her mother left to her in her will. She knows she has to prove herself to her father, who feels she’s flighty and doesn’t make responsible choices, and she’s determined to prove him wrong.
Nix is unaware that his boss, Gage Carson is Melissa’s father and unbeknownst to Nix and Melissa he is playing protective Dad and matchmaker. Carson has chosen Nix to keep an eye on his daughter and evaluate her knowledge and determination to make the ranch profitable.
This story has twists and turns, an ex-con who wants revenge, a few secrets, a mystery and plenty of attraction and heat to start a fire.
Jump in, and fall in love with these characters. This is one book not to miss.
This is an interesting and engrossing story with some intense situations and lots of suspense. Nix is confident, charming and sweet. Melly is stubborn, insecure and vulnerable. A previous one night stand sets up a very awkward and tense relationship between them, brought on by her father. Add to that a man bent on revenge, and a possible traitor, and it becomes an entertaining and enjoyable book. This is a great series where each book is better than the last.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.
I love that both Nix and Melly play by their own rules. When their one night stand turns into a forbidden romance with secrets and hidden danger, things get interesting. I really enjoyed Seized by the Lawman and I would love to read a spinoff series featuring the Ghost Hawks elite tactical force team.
I voluntarily read & reviewed a complimentary Advance Reader Copy.
Another wonderful continuation of the Lawmen of Wyoming. This is Special Agent Nix Cade and Melissia Everhart’s story. Both characters are headstrong, and stubborn at times. Such wonderful characters to get to know. This story will leave you on the edge of your seat wanting to know what’s going to happen next. Romance, secret baby, with lots of intrigue and excitement!
Seized by the Lawman
Rhonda Lee Carver
Once again Rhonda Lee Carver has come up with another page turner from the first to the last. Love this series and can’t wait for the next one.
It has just the right combination of romance, sex, suspense, love, and second chances for Nix and Melly. Can they survive and have their happy ending?
Every book in the Lawmen of Wyoming series is a great read with each one getting better.
Once you start this there is no putting it down until the end.
I received an ARC copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it. I loved the book. It is well written and I have to say worth your time and effort. Rhonda Lee Carver is one of my go to authors, I know when I see her name on a story it will be a great one. How many of us have a father who is or was over protective. This is one of those stories, that is the only spoiler I will give you. This is the third book in this series and it just keeps getting better. Rhonda Lee Carver has done a fantastic job with this series and I can’t wait to see what she does from here. If you haven’t read her stories stop now and go get all her stuff. It is worth it!!!!
Omg! I have thoroughly enjoyed each book in this series, but this has to be my favorite. Not only did I get the fast romance, the hot passion and the believable characters that became a part of me, I got drama and suspense to the max! I was on edge and it was…just…wow. Rhonda Lee Carver you have damaged me from reading for a minute. This was so good, I need to get over being upset that it ended before I can move on. I definitely want more! Book gifted to me.
The Cade brothers, who are also all lawmen, are alpha strong, protect their women and oh so easy to fall in love with. And THEY are slowly falling in love, one by one, and it’s so fun to watch them fall.
Nix and Melly had already had a one night stand when the story starts. We can see the connection they still have with one another but they have to learn how to trust each other, especially Melly. She has had so much heartache in her life already and is really ready to settle down on the ranch.
The main problem? Nix works for her dad, her dad asks Nix to keep an eye on her for the month, she doesn’t have a real good relationship with said dad and she got pregnant from the one night stand and no one knows!! Oh and Nix vows to keep his hands to himself for the month, mainly because she is his boss’s daughter, yeah like that’s really gonna happen, LOL.
When Nix finds out about the pregnancy, he steps up and does what he has to do to protect Melly and the baby, trying to also prove “his LOVE”.
Now of course there are problems because there is a murdering psychopath on the loose and wants revenge on Nix and in the process, targets Melly.
I am loving this new series. Rhonda is doing a really good job in having me sitting at the edge of my seat while reading the story. I can’t wait to read which sibling is next.
Seized by the Lawman it just as thrilling, romantic and captivating as the first 2 books in the series.
Rhonda Lee Carvers mix of sexy and protective men with the strong willed, capable women keep me reading all of her books.
My favorite part of this book was how she wrote about the life of a wife or significant other of a lawman. It’s not easy. Waiting to see if he/she will make it home safe. I am thankful to see Rhonda add that side of the relationship because it is real and needs to be considered when you give your heart to a first responder of any kind. (Law Enforcement, Fire, Paramedic, medical field and Military) Sorry if I left anyone out. You are all important. I am thankful for a story that included the concerns of the family.
From the moment Rhonda included this in here storyline I was hooked. But then again I am always hooked on Rhondas books.
I am also a sucker for books that allude to a new series. You’ll have to read on to find out more.
Thank you for the opportunity to read and review another Lawman story, keep them coming.
OMG, I love Nix. One night of hot sex will change there lives forever. Nix is a dedicated lawman. Melly is a spoiled reality tv star. When they are thrown together several months after their tryst, can the two of them work together despite their feelings for each other. Melly has to prove to her father that she has grown up. Her dad has solicited Nix to help show Melly the ropes around the ranch. How long can Melly keep her secret from Nix? What will Nix do when he finds out Melly’s secret? This is a must read, I couldn’t put it down.
Nothing is worse than a meddling parent, especially when that parent is holding something over your head.
Melly wants her inheritance, the ranch that was her mother’s. Unfortunately her father, wants proof she’s ready to take the reins before he signs the papers.
Nix has just started working for Carter and now he’s put in a very awkward position. Help out on the ranch and report whether or not Melly is ready for this responsibility. Big glitch, he had a one-night stand with the red-haired beauty. Of course finding out she had been a reality show star, kind of makes him wonder about her sincerity too.
Now there are a lot of secrets, a scary encounter, and plenty of sexual tension to boot.
As secrets get revealed the family drama increases, and a possible mole in Carter’s team has everyone on edge.
Definitely a page turner!
This series just keeps getting better and better. When I think I couldn’t enjoy a book more, Mrs Carver releases her next one.
I loved Melly in this book, she was everything that I wish I was. She is spontaneous, fun, enjoys life but isn’t afraid to work hard and prove herself. After one amazing night, her priorities change in an instant and she wants to start putting down roots. I loved that she wasn’t afraid to go head to head with some of the men who were doubting her. She was bound and determined to show them.
I loved Nix 90% of the time. I think he is a standup man, a family man and a really good lawman. I liked that he didn’t shy away from the chemistry he had with Melly even if he knew he should be keeping his hand off. I liked his protective nature. The only part of him I didn’t like was all the secrets that this book had. While I understand all the reasons people had to keep them, they had to know it would eventually blow up in their face.
This book had heart, funny at times, suspense, danger, mystery and sexy times all rolled up into one amazing book. I can’t wait for the next one.
