About the author
Lynn LaFleur
112 books125 followersI was born and raised in a small town in Texas close to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Writing has been in my blood since I was eight years old and wrote my first story for an English assignment. The baby of four children, I was spoiled rotten and still am.
I can't imagine ever writing anything but romances. I enjoy writing about two people (or sometimes more than two) falling in love. If you like the story enough to smile in places, shed a tear at times, or get a warm and fuzzy feeling, that is my greatest reward.
Besides writing at every opportunity, I love reading, traveling, scrapbooking, photography, and learning new things on the computer. I'm a software junky and like trying out new programs, especially anything to do with graphics.
I moved back to Texas after living on the West Coast for 21 years, to a small town 17 miles from where I grew up. I live close to my only surviving sister.

Is it possible for Dax to remove the pain and trauma that sweet, sexy, innocent Kelsey carries with her from a wrecked childhood? Can he remove the mental block of terror and fear that prevents her from finding love and pleasure with a man, or will it add up to one more agonizing failure, proving to Kelsey that she will spend her life alone?
Kelsey Ewing is turned on by the gorgeous, hot Coleman brother, one of three triplets who own a construction company in their small home town of Lanville. She is there on an extended stay to help her two best friends with their bread and breakfast and restaurant ventures. Those women are girlfriends of the other two Coleman triplets. The men are working on the bed and breakfast and will soon be building the restaurant.
Dax is a sexy, charming playboy who enjoys his bachelor lifestyle and sees no reason to ever change it. He isn't prepared for the level of intense attraction that he feels when he meets Kelsey. When they are drawn together by a simmering sexual heat, it seems that all is going scorchingly well, especially the kisses and touching from Dax. That is, until he moves his body over hers on the bed where they lay. Kelsey immediately goes into a terrified hysteria, screaming for him to 'get off of her', and running to the corner of the room, where she hides in a sobbing crouch.
I loved this story. It is an emotional journey from dark, deep psychic injury into trust and love for the main characters. Gently and generously nurturing each other, both Dax and Kelsey grow and emerge to become strong, giving people newly aware of life-changing truths about themselves. Those truths set them free to love and be loved.
This book gripped my emotions and moved me to tears several times. It is a beautiful, sensitively told story blossoming with charismatic, endearing characters that takes the reader to a higher level of personal inspiration. I've said before that Ms. LaFleur knows how to subtly inform her readers of the ways to experience what is true and of worth in life. That is ever more true in this sensitive, suspenseful and absorbing romance.
I was captivated by Kelsey's courage and her development of strength and security. Dax's open-hearted, creative and sexy nature is irresistible. His gentle patience is heart melting. Ms. LaFleur creates heroes who truly know how to love women or are sincerely willing to learn! I love that the main plot is about the relationships, themselves; however there is an edgy subplot that builds throughout the story and adds to its complexity, ending in a surprising twist.
I love Ms. LaFleur's refreshing dialog and her articulate erotic descriptions. This was one of the hottest of sensual, naturally emerging love affairs I've had the joy to read. The chemistry between Kelsey and Dax comes together to create a kind of unusual, captivating sexual dynamic that is magnetic to the reader.
I have nothing but good things to say about, Walking Sin, and recommend it to everyone. It is the third in the series, Men With Tools. I've enjoyed this series very much and know you will, too. All I have to say is, '...please, Ms. LaFleur, more Men With Tools!' It's a winner!

I really enjoyed reading Walking Sin.
It broke my heart that Kelcey is so damaged by her past that she won’t permit any man to be physically or emotionally close enough to hurt her ever again. Her first impression of Dax is that he is a womanizing, shallow, playboy, and she immediately puts him on her list of men to avoid. Conversely, Dax is quite intrigued by Kelcey. She seems to be immune to his charms and that just goads him to prove he is worthy of her consideration. Dax is such a sweet and lovable guy that he had me in his corner from the beginning.I really liked how the character Dax handles Kelcey and her issues. His understanding, patience and maturity are so endearing. As the most free-spirited brother of the three, I was curious who was going to finally capture his heart.
I had to read the first two books in the series before I could read this one and review it because I don’t like to read series out of order. I don’t know that this is absolutely necessary to enjoy the story, but it definitely made it easier to understand the dynamics of the other characters for me. I love the way all of the characters interact and how the story lines intersect. The subject matter that this story addresses is quite sensitive to deal with and I think the author does a wonderful job of balancing the seriousness without becoming wearisome. This was definitely an emotional, heart tugging experience.
Ms. LaFleur’s heroes know how to treat their woman and they treat them well. The book isn’t all sex but when it is…it is hot. If you like sexy heroes with strong personalities and tender hearts this may be a series for you.

Three hunky brothers, triplets, run their own construction company they inherited from their father when he retired. Each book in this series follows each one has he finds the love of his life. Each brother and each woman he loves find each other even though they have their own problems with their pasts. These are just the kind of stories that I can get caught up in, hot and sexy romance.

I was happy to see the last brother get his HEA but sad to see it was all over. I'd love to read a "what they're up to now" type of epilogue.
