REVIEWS for The Lawman's Wife [The Wives Tales 3]

5 Stars/Hot: "The Lawman’s Wife, book three of The Wives Tales, was well worth the wait. Ms. Santiago knows how to capture her readers and keep them entertained until the very last word and demanding more. Grace’s character suffered a horrible sexual encounter when she was a teenager that left her emotional scared by sex. I enjoyed the way Grace was able to overcome the challenges that she had and was able to be a wonderful mother. There were times when Grace appeared to be naïve, but as I continued to read I noticed that she was doing everything to protect her child from harm -even appearing to be meek to the man she thought was her husband of convenience, Danny Cox. Jon was also a strong character overcoming his genetic enhancement received as a teenager, instead of turning into a sexual vampire he focused on keeping his sexual needs at bay with the help of medication. The sexual chemistry between Grace and Jon was sizzling from the moment they met in the elevator. Jon was aware of Grace’s sexual history and didn’t want to alarm her with his desire, but [imagine] his surprise when Grace turned into the sexual aggressor in their relationship. Just Smoking!!!! The action in the book was on point and well written. Nothing appeared to be out of place with this story. Bravo Ms. Santiago, for another job well done!" —LT Blue, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

5 Kisses: "Jon is a wonderful man, with a kind and caring heart. It doesn’t hurt that he’s also drop-dead gorgeous and sexy to boot! The manner in which he cares for Grace and Emma is sweet and will fill your heart with emotion. Grace has been through so much and her unwavering commitment to her daughter is beautiful while her own search for peace will pull at your heartstrings. The chemistry between Jon and Grace is undeniable and their love scenes are scorching. This latest installment of The Wives Tales is definitely the most intense and adds a good balance to the series. I definitely recommend reading The Lawman’s Wife and feel that the entire The Wives Tales series should be on everyone’s must-read list!" —Kerin, Two Lips Reviews

4.5 Stars: 2006 Reviewers' Choice Award Nominee: "As the third book in the Wives Tales, The Lawman's Wife definitely delivers. Ms. Santiago paints a picture of oppression and desperation for Grace and other women. Even with her painful past, Grace manages to be a sweet woman and wonderful mother and when Jonathan rescues her – both times – he is the only man who has ever showed her any gentleness. In addition, he's the only man to ever excite her. Jonathan believes he's only rescuing Grace because of sympathy but in fact, his feelings run much deeper. Their struggle to beat the clock to become man and wife, build a relationship and try to keep their little family together despite a sexual predator makes for one fantastic finish to this trilogy. This fast paced story is one that will draw you in and have you wishing for more." —Trang, Ecataromance 

4.5 Blue Ribbons: "The Lawman's Wife is the final book in Lara Santiago’s The Wives Tales series. Despite all the strides women have made toward independence I found this story shockingly thought provoking. I can imagine something like this happening at some point in the future. Grace is a character whom I truly admire. She does everything in her power to protect herself and her daughter and faces her fears head on. Jonathan is a genuinely honorable man. He’s worried about his job’s impact on their lives and seriously considers finding her another husband, one whose job doesn’t keep him from home for months at a time. The Lawman's Wife is a book sure to cause a riot of emotions in readers and leave them with a warm feeling at the end." —Chrissy Dionne, Romance Junkies

4 Angels: "This is the second of the Wives Tales series that I've had the pleasure of reading. Like its predecessor, I found myself enthusiastically absorbing a world I pray never comes to pass. A world where women's rights are set back to the dark ages and men can get away with crimes against them. Jonathan is a lawman in deed and spirit. From the beginning he endeared himself to me with his kindness. Grace seemed to roam from one extreme to another, meek but still a little tiger when it came to getting what she desired from Jonathan and protecting both her daughter and her new husband. This story was well developed with enough action to create and sustain excitement. The carnal delights were high on the Richter scale but made even sweeter because of the fragile emotions involved. The Lawman's Wife is a great story and I look forward to more of Ms. Santiago's work." —Rachelle, Fallen Angel Reviews

"Although circumstances are bleak, the hot desire between Jon and Grace warms them, lights their lives, and leads them to a place of love and passion. [Brutal and Hannah] from The Miner's Wife are part of the story, and with The Lawman's Wife, Lara Santiago tells of a time fraught with strife and ugliness that might be, but, with people like Jon and Grace, will not last forever. I recommend it." —Maggie Anderson, Romance Reviews Today

"The Lawman's Wife is book 3 of Lara Santiago's The Wives Tales. Set in the future, it is the story of Jonathan and Grace, two strangers who met and comforted each other on a stuck elevator and who now have no choice but to consummate their relationship or risk losing things they hold dear. I was pleased to be reintroduced to Brutal, Jonathan's brother in law from The Miner's Wife. Jonathan and Grace had secrets but I was comforted by the fact that they loved each other, the good with the bad. The Lawman's Wife was an exceptional read. I can't wait to read it again!"—Talia Ricci, Joyfully Reviewed
