Publisher's summary

A new series from the author of the Moonshine Task Force Series! 

Laurel Springs, AL, is about to be hotter than a mid-August thunderstorm. 

When the Moonshine Task Force is absorbed into a new entity, Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team (LSERT), new faces come to town, new love is born, old love is found again, and there’s a plethora of drama and romance happening all over the tri-county area. LSERT puts police, firefighters, nurses, doctors, K-9 handlers, and EMT’s all in harm’s way as they work to keep the area safe from any threat. 

Emotions run high, passions ignite. 

Come with me, back to Laurel Springs, in what's sure to be a wild ride! 

Ransom Thompson 

For years I’ve wanted two things - to be a member of the Moonshine Task Force and to be the man Stella Kepler can’t live without. 

One out of two isn’t bad, or so I tell myself. Being the only K-9 handler for The MTF presents its own share of obstacles, but me and Rambo? We make it work. Life is status quo, until I’m called in to help with what appears to be a hostage situation and Stella is right in the middle of it. 

This is my one chance, and I’m not going to blow it. 

Stella Kepler 

When I’m stuck in an examination room holding a hurt woman and a man with a gun, I do the only thing I can. I sneak out, call 911 and hope help comes quickly. It does. 

In the form of Ransom Thompson. 

He and I have known each other since we were babies. Our mother’s are friends, our dad’s work together, and we’ve always been friends. 

Only, the last few months I’ve started to notice things. How mature he is, how alpha he can be, the chiseled six-pack, and the abundance of ink spreading across his body. 

When I offer to cook him dinner for saving me, neither one of us know how that one moment will change the course of the rest of our lives.

AWFUL NARRATION

The storyline started off pretty decent. Though the male narration was horrible from the beginning. He has a TERRIBLE fake southern accent and his pace is kinda jaunty. By chapter 8 the main characters commentary to each other was I guess the best thing to say are like southern cliche's. I had to quit and return by chapter 8. All of the previous got unbearable. Please author never use this guy for a souther accent. Unfortunately, I see that she has for more books in this series.

Ransom and Stella

Ransom and Stella are beautiful together. This was a sweet & adorable story about friends finding love and what it takes to stand by one another through every thing. Add in Rambo and this story just gets that much better. Ransom and Rambo are cute together. Ransom may be a mommas boy but he is all Alpha male when it come to work and Stella. I enjoyed every single moment of their journey together.
Ariel Royce and Christopher Rourke did an amazing job of bringing this adorable story to life.

Ransom

Really did not like the male reader fake southern accent! It was too harsh, have lived in Georgia and Mississippi and no one has the tone!

Ransom and Stella are perfect

The start of a brand new series from Laramie Briscoe and we are back in Laurel Springs,were we meet the grown up children of The Guys from the moonshine task force series.
This is Ransom Thompson and Stella Kepler's romance....Ransom is Havoc and Leighton's son and Stella is Renegade and Whitneys daughter.
These two have grown up together and Ransom has loved Stella as far back as he could remember,but Stella didn't even notice him.....Until she does.
All of a sudden Ransom has grown into a man,and Stella finally notices him when he comes to her rescue when she is held at gunpoint while she is at work.
Ransom is ready to barge in there and save the day and he does as a k-9 handler for the MTF,he has been in many sticky situations but never with some one he cares about.
On that day Stella sees him in a different light and gives him a chance,they begin to date in secret as they worry when their parents find out they won't be happy.
And if they don't work out as a couple then it will cause problems with friends,family and loyalties.
But if anything these two are the perfect match and love eachother deeply,they support one anothers dreams and I loved that about them.
Ariel Royce and Christopher Rourke have been absolutely AMAZING Throughout this story their narration is flawless and I enjoy listening to their voices.I am glad they have teamed up again for this series as I Loved their narrations of the Moonshine Task force series.
This is an amazing start to this series and I am so excited to see all these characters all grown up and what happens to them? and who they will fall in Love with.
I also love seeing all the old crew back all mature and passing on their wisdom to their children its such a great group of friends.
Ransom and Stella's friends to lovers, love story is romantic, emotional ,sweet,funny and sexy and I Loved reading it.Laramie Briscoe is just excelling everytime she writes one of these books I am addicted to this town and these characters.I am eager to read more...I can't wait for whose next and who they will be partnered with.
Another Brilliant read.
