Falling for the Lawman

Kirkwood Lake #2

The Lawman Next Door  

Piper McKinney's got her hands full. Busy saving her farm from developers, and her family from trouble, she has no time for love. Not even for the handsome state trooper who becomes her new neighbor. But Zach Harrison can't ignore the girl next door. Even though he gave up the farming life years ago, Piper intrigues him, and her plight calls out to the protector in him. Piper may not want a man, especially one with a badge, but Zach will show her that he's here to serve and protect…and love.

Fun with stressful spots

Put together a cop trying to sleep during the day while working nights with 2 noisy roosters living next door and a young woman struggling to keep her family farm running, a goat and a set of 5 year old twins who love to wander away and you have this delightful story of “Falling for the Lawman. I recommend it highly and will definitely be reading it again.

I loved this romance . It was very good to read about how this woman did not want to get close to a cop . But at the end she could not say no to his charm and they fell in love . I would recommend this book to all the romance readers out there .

[Nancy Lathrop]

Great quick read about family relationships, farming, and honesty. Piper falls in love with her neighbor Zach who happens to be a cop. If you like romance and lots of twists and turns, then this is a book for you

This is the 1st book I read by Ruth Logan Herne. This book's storyline was okay. I liked the Christian theme in this story. Piper's character was okay. Zach's character was okay. I loved ❤ Dorrie & Sonya. I liked the ending.

[Dianne Sidebottom]

Zach and Piper's story. Family relationships, choices and the local economy make up this story. Got to respect farmers and thankful they stay on the land. (not everyone can stay) Quick clean reading.

This was a super cute romance. I loved the twins.

DNF. See that this is book 2. Maybe that is why the struggle to get into the story.

No one should have to fight against their own family to save their home!

But when developers get everyone involved . . . from Piper’s brothers . . . to the current town supervisor, Piper discovers she will either have to fight . . . or flee!

Zach and his father have just moved next door, when Zach – a state trooper – declares war on his neighbor’s roosters. But when he meets the enchanting Piper McKinney, sassy and sweet, he’s more than interested – he’s hooked!

Come on . . . you have to want to read more . . . so be sure to pick up a copy of Falling For the Lawman today. Shoot . . . pick up the whole series, begin with book 1 – The Lawman’s Second Chance – and read them all with me.

Ruth Logan Herne has no trouble holding on to my attention with this exciting series . . . the problem is putting down the book and getting some sleep! Oh well, who needs sleep anyway --

Don’t miss this exciting series, found in the wonderful (fictional) place of Kirkwood Lake.

Happy Reading!!!

This was another great book in the Kirkwood Lake series. I really liked all the character in this book. Piper, her nieces, step-mother, step-uncle, and sister were all very likable characters, as well as Zach Harrison, his father, sister and kids. The author did such a good job in joining these two families into one, even though they weren't one family. By the end of the book, I was almost jumping up and down with joy at the way everything came together! What a wonderfully magical ending to such a tense story! The author kept me turning pages until I was done! I cannot wait to read the other books in this series, and hope they hold out as much hope as this one.

Enjoyed this story about people being able to accept each other though they have different interests and dislikes. Zachary felt the need to leave farming behind for law enforcement. And Piper has bowed to never date a law enforcement guy again. But when they can't seem to forget each other or stay away from each other, it takes some rethinking of priorities and understanding of things in the last to bring them to acceptance.

An enjoyable visit back to Kirkwood Lake and looking forward to the next visit there.
