Abel Yeager lives by his own laws and his First
Law is: come home at the end of the day. His laws served him well in the Marines,
but he never thought he would have to apply them to his long-haul trucking job.
One day while making a pit stop in an out-of-the-way rest area, he catches some
thugs trying to steal his rig. He puts the hurt on three of them, but when
their boss aims his gun at him, Abel thinks his luck has finally run completely
out. Then Charlie Buchanan steps out of the restroom and trains her honking big
gun on the bad guy. The boss gathers his beaten lackeys and hightails it down
the highway. Bad guys: 0, good guys: 1. The police are called, reports are
made, thanks are given and Abel and Charlie part, encounter over. Or is it?
Ooh-Rah! This is one of those books that sounds
interesting and you think you’re in for a decent ride and it does start off
that way. But then…Wham! The next thing you know you’ve been carjacked and
kidnapped, traveling down a road at top speed heading into the night toward Whothefuckknowsville.
Except, instead of being terrifying, it’s fucking awesome! Twists and turns and
multiple players with their own POV and agenda with Abel and Charlie swimming in
the dark with no idea how to answer the Who, What, Why and Where of it all. Does
it sound like it should be a mishmash mess? It so isn’t. It all comes together
with action, suspense, humor and a dash of romance. Yeager’s Law wins the Can’t Turn the Pages Fast Enough Award. I had
to force myself to put it down when it came time to do Real Life things. Well-written
with characters you’ll love or love to hate, a romance that’s sweet and steamy
without being blatant, action reminiscent of Die Hard and suspense that will have you leaving half-moon marks on
any available surface, I dare you to pick this one up. In fact, I double dog
dare you. Author Scott Bell is officially on my Favorite Author List.
