Product Description

St. Paul police officers Dez Reilly and Jaylynn Savage have been working far too hard. When they take off on a camping trip to northern Minnesota with good friends Crystal and Shayna, they expect nothing more than long hikes, romantic wood fires, and plenty of down time. Instead, they find themselves caught in the whirlwind created when two escaped convicts, law enforcement, and desperate Russian mobsters clash east of the privately-run Kendall Correctional Center. Jaylynn is taken hostage and must use all her resources to stay alive. Can Dez catch up with the criminals, short-circuit the Russians, and save Jaylynn?

It's a race to the finish as author Lori L. Lake uproots Dez and Jaylynn from the romance genre to bring them center stage in her first action-suspense thriller.

Customer Reviews

Great action, thrilling chase, solid writing
People who loved Dez Reilly and Jaylynn Savage, the police duo created by best-selling author Lori L. Lake, will be enthralled by this third book in Lake's "Gun" Series. Still solid partners, the two embark with friends Crystal and Shayna on a quiet hike in the Minnesota forests. Prison escapees turn the hike into a life-wrenching ordeal when they kidnap Jaylynn.

As Jaylynn uses sharp wits to foil the kidnappers at every turn, Dez calls on brute strength to hunt them down, and heavy rainstorms impede friend and foe alike. With desperate prison escapees, traitorous law enforcement, and foreign mobsters taking part in the chase, the story keeps you on the edge of your seat, wanting to read faster than your eyes can move. The action is complex, but thoroughly grounded in detail and completely believable. One of Lake's strengths is her deft characterization and she does not disappoint. Her people bring the story to life. You care about them, hate them, or sympathize with them, but an emotion is always drawn from you; you relate.

The prose is stronger, tighter, and more intense than Lake's previous books, and she makes the leap from romance to action-suspense with mastery, landing solidly on both feet. Action-suspense is my favorite genre, and I welcome the addition of Have Gun We'll Travel to my library. You'll welcome it to yours, too.

A Master of the Craft
Lori L. Lake's latest book is a great read! It's creative, well-researched, gripping, and emotional, but rather than reiterate what other reviewers have already stated, I'll focus my comments on another aspect of the book. Readers can always count on Lori to deliver a book that is WELL WRITTEN! Lori is a master of the craft whose writing improves with each new book. Clearly she is a student of the art of prose, and her gift with words makes all her books a pleasure to read. I never find myself distracted by grammatical mistakes, sentence fragments or run-ons, or errors of any kind. She's meticulous about clean, effective prose and her attention to detail is reflected in books of extraordinary quality. If you enjoy reading a good story that is also well written, look no further than Lori L. Lake!

Enjoyable Adventure!
I enjoyed the third installment of the Gun series. I look forward to more in the life of Dez and Jay. This book shows throughout the devotion that each one has for the other and the fact that they both keep going and never give up hope! This book focus is more on the adventure than on the romantic side of the coin. It is a little change from the other in the series. All the same, it was a good book and one that I will keep in my collection. If you are looking for a good adventure, you have found one. If you are looking for lust and sex, this book is not really for you! You will still enjoy the humor and the love that these characters show for one another(for their partners and their best friends).
