I feel as though I need to start this review with a disclaimer. I really like Carsen Taite as an author. I enjoy almost every book I read of hers. I purchased Above the Law and Lay down the Law at the same time. I usually devour her books. Start the book and stay up all night to find out what happens type of book. This book was not that book. I feel as though the relationship was rushed even for two lesbians. They really didn’t know one another, and I can’t imagine how they were attached at all to one another. I just didn’t much care for the romance, and the mystery/suspense wasn’t enough to keep me entertained. For me this was a bust, and what usually takes me one day I spread out over several while reading other bits of entertainment in between.

Peyton Davis returns to her home in Texas as a federal prosecutor and rancher.  Problems arise both at home and at work.  During this time, she meets Lily Gantry and they instantly connect.  However, will they still be able to fall in love when Peyton's investigation threatens Lily's family's company?

I thought that the action/mystery portion was interesting and well done.  It even surprised me in a some cases.  I enjoyed the romance portion as well but with this book being the first of its series, I thought that the romance would be more realistic and not quite so fast-paced.

Peyton and Lily are interesting characters separately and even more so when together, the chemistry being believable, although as mentioned before, a little fast with regards to their feelings.

I was also interested in reading more about Dale and if she would be able to find another love.  Glad when I found out that Dale would be the main focus of the second book.

Another good story from Carsen Taite. The only gripe I have is that it ends rather abruptly. A couple of storylines were left unresolved. A shame really, since the plot was developing quite nicely until that point. I hope we'll see a continuation in the next book in the series. Like it or not, I'm already invested in the characters and their lives.
