Baby Breakout - Lisa Childs (HI #1344 - Apr 2012)

Series: Outlaws (Book 2) 

Jedidiah Kleyn had been convicted because Erica Towsley hadn't come forward. So the night he escaped from prison, it was with one thing in mind -- find Erica and make her clear his name. But the moment he laid eyes on the angelic beauty, his hatred was overwhelmed by the ferocity of his still-burning desire. And then he saw the child -- his child.

He'd thought that proving his innocence was all that mattered. But whoever had framed him was now targeting Erica and his little girl. And as the woman he'd blamed and the child he'd never known laid claim to his heart, Jed would risk anything to protect them. Because now there was nothing more important than his family...not his freedom, not even his life.
 


Very good book.  Now that Jed had escaped, he needed to find Erica and clear his name.  Seeing Erica and hearing about what went on at her end made him realize he still had big problems.  Trust was a big issue in this book.  Jed didn't trust Erica, as he thought she was still lying about what had happened that night.  He also didn't trust her not to call the cops.  Erica didn't trust that Jed was not guilty of the crimes he went to prison for.  She would start to trust a little, then something would happen and she'd go back again.  I really wish that she had been more trusting from the beginning.  I liked seeing Rowe and Macy, and was glad to see how much help he was able to provide.  The bad guy was not who I figured at first.  I loved the showdown at the end.  There was plenty of tension and suspense in this book.

Lawman Lover - Lisa Childs (HI #1338 - Mar 2012)

Series: Outlaws (Book 1) 

There was a live body on her morgue table. Macy Kleyn hadn't expected to find a perfectly healthy Rowe Cusack lying inside a body bag. The man claimed to be a DEA agent who'd escaped from prison by faking his own death. But despite using a disguise, someone knew the truth. Now they wanted to keep Rowe locked up inside. For good.

Taking a civilian on the run went against Rowe's lawman code, but leaving Macy behind could mean putting her in even greater danger. On their own, they were targets, but together they might still have a fighting chance. It's a chance he's willing to take in order to protect the one person he could trust—and the one woman he was falling for.

Heartpounding beginning to this book.  Rowe was desperate to get out before someone could kill him.  Macy was terrified when the body in the bag was alive.  She didn't believe his story about being undercover, but was too afraid to do anything about it.  The more that happened, the more they realized that she was in danger also.  I enjoyed seeing each step as they went along trying to track who was behind the corruption.  I also really loved the way that Macy was a creative thinker, and had such success thinking on her feet.  I'm looking forward to Jed's story.
