Love and Order + Giveaway

Family, Love, and Justice

Separated as children when they were adopted out to different families from an orphan train, the Braddock siblings have each grown up and taken on various jobs within law enforcement and criminal justice.

Pinkertons Callie Wilson and Joe Trenamen come to Cambria Springs to stop a killer. But when evidence points to a ghost from Callie’s childhood, she must choose between two men she loves.

Falsely accused, bounty hunter Rion Braddock vows to prove his innocence. Former flame Maya Fellows and dime novelist Lucinda Peters both offer help, but is either beauty truly on his side?

In her first solo case, attorney Andi McGovern defends Rion, but the infuriating prosecutor, Daniel Littrick, outwits her. Following a hunch could win her case—or leave Andi dead.

Can these couples stop the true culprit and right the greatest injustice of Callie, Andi, and Rion’s lives?

My Review:

What a captivating story! I’ve been ‘off’ Historical Westerns for a while now but ‘Love and Order’ (such a clever title!) has renewed my interest in the genre. Jennifer Uhlarik’s exquisite storytelling brings this time period to life in a fresh way.

Siblings separated on an orphan train reunite fifteen years later only to find themselves in a desperate fight for justice. Their unique professions -a Pinkerton Agent, a bounty hunter and a lawyer – prove extremely useful for the arduous journey ahead.

Loved these characters and their ‘Wild West’ challenges. Feisty heroines, long suffering heroes, a diabolical villain and enough sub-plots to keep me anxiously engaged right to the very end.

The book is divided into three parts with each sibling getting their own story while also playing roles in the over-arching suspense plot. Love the way the author bridged each section together, building tension with each story and culminating in an emotional courtroom scene that kept me on the edge of my seat! I might have shouted ‘I object’ more than once in the midst of all the drama. 🙂

And — eeeepppp — we get three times the romance as Callie, Rion and Andi find love in the midst of action and danger! The perfect literary escape read.

    1. You may have been the one who brought it to my attentions. It was an Best Reader’s recommendation for sure and I grabbed the audible book asap. It was even on audible plus for me! Loved it soooo much! Such a clever way to build a story through three POVs — kinda like novellas only not. 🙂

  1. I’ve enjoyed many books by Jennifer in the past and this one sounds so good! I like that there are basically three stories in one (so to speak) and they intertwine together. That cover is pretty fun too!!

    Thanks for the great review Kav, they’re always so thoughtful ☺️

  2. WOW! LOVE AND ORDER sounds like a wonderful read. Your review made me wish I had a copy here in my hands so I could start reading it. I, too, see to put this genre on the back burner, but it sounds like it needs to move forward and see the adventures and romance to start to heat up.

    Thank you for the fabulous chance to win a copy!

    Weather here is sunny and in the 80’s today. There’s a wind blowing so hoping it’s blowing some spring like weather your way.

  3. We got up to 59 yesterday and it was sunny and glorious but now we’re back down to 32 and wet snow. 😦

    This was such a great reintroduction to the western historical genre for me! Loved the storytelling and the way the author set the scene. Good luck, Kay!
