Lorelei Brogan was born and raised in Idaho where she currently lives with her husband.
While sitting in her graduate school apartment, studying Rock science, Lorelei decided to set aside her notes and try her hand at romance.
At the same time, she used to write articles for a local newspaper under a pseudonym, and this made her wonder if she could write something besides news -- about something she really loved. At the age of 40 she managed to make her dream come true.
She has a great family and 4 sons that she adores. She is extremely proud of them, and so are they. They really admire her work, and support her in every step of her life.Her oldest son, who deeply loves her, says Lorelei’s novels make him travel to a different world.
In her spare time, she loves cooking and volunteering at her local elderly care home. She also adores traveling with her husband. Their dream is to travel all over the world, with Asia being at the top of her “bucket list”.
How much power do the characters have to change their world? Tom had the power to make a completely different chance to change everything, but then we wouldn’t have this book would we? Very clean wholesome western romance.
I have read quite a number of books from this Author and I would have to say this is my favorite thus far; though I have enjoyed all of the books I read written by this Author. I would say the moral of the story is that honesty is best and keeping secrets especially in a relationship is not good. Sometimes how we think someone will react to something and how they actually react is two different things. This book is written around that idea. The characters in this book are very well developed and important to the writing of this story. And there are four main characters, Logan Payne and his sister Janie who is married to Tom Bailey, and Tom’s sister Sara. Also important to the story is Levi Moran the outlaw that feels he owns the town of Oakmede and indeed has inspired fear in many of the the town residents included the town Sheriff. Other characters important to the telling of the story is Charley and Carter children of Tom and Janie Bailey and nephews to Logan and Sara. These two add humor and affection to the story. Also adding to the story is Charley’s and Carter’s puppy. Logan and Sara fall in Love; but they are unable to pursue their relationship because Logan is keeping a secret from his sister Janie that Sara knows about. He feels he should come clean to his sister about the secret he is keeping; because she feels he might decide to keep secrets in their relationship and she doesn’t want that.
I thought it was a great story. I think the Author is a great storyteller. The pace of the story is good with lots of twists and turns. There’s no profanity and no sexually explicit dialogue.
ONE SATISFYING TREAT!!! Rock on! Lorelei not only brought the house down, she razed the town, leaving nothing but rubble in her wake. This action packed, heart pounding, pulse racing, page flipping bombshell keeps you riveted on a razors edge with all the gusto and zeal blasting this little gem to impressive heights. Showcasing 100% on point realism, kicking up a churning vortex chocked-full of inadvertent contingencies propel this jewel to life spectacularly. Drama, intrigue, danger and suspense spirals, upping the ante with distress and turmoil thrusting this baby into a tailspin with surprising impacts. Conquering the trials and tribulations, along with a slew of plot twists and sharp turns fuses this baby together sleek, shiny and tight. The characters are realistic and authentic with depth and qualities adding just enough flaws for diversity. The scenes are so vividly detailed and descriptive it gives the illusion you were right there in the middle of ground zero with them. Remarkable job Lorelei, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
Sara lived in Baltimore with her mother and worked in a garment factory. Life was hard but they were getting by. They received word that her brother in Kansas had been arrested and a trial was pending. Sara rushes to Kansas to support her brother and help his wife and 2 boys.
Sara had never been out of the city so she was enthralled with the wide open spaces of the plains. Even the air smelled fresh. She falls in love with the farm, her little nephews she had never seen and with Janie's brother, Logan.
Tom is sentenced to 5 yrs in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Will Tom be acquitted? Will the man responsible for framing him get away with it? Will Logan finally admit to himself that he can't live without Sara?
An extended epilogue that takes place a year later ties up the loose ends well. I received an ARC from the author and this is my voluntary review.
Partners In Justice And Love has all the bells and whistles a good suspense love story should have. Lorelei Brogan once again has brought the West to life In this story. When the mysterious bounty hunter Logan meets the beautiful Sara they both work together to prove Sara's brother and Logan's brother-in-law Tom had been framed and imprisoned wrongly. During this time of working together they started to fall in love but an argument sent Sara back to Baltimore before things were resolved. Logan needed some prodding from Janie and Tom to go to Baltimore to tell Sara he needed her and he found that she needed him just as much. She said she was holding out for the love of her life that would give her butterflies and she was right. Logan fulfilled all her dreams as did Sara for him.
Sara lives in Baltimore with her mother. She received news about her brother Tom being arrested from Toms wife Janie. Sara’s mother sends her to be with Janie and her two children Charley and Carter in Kentucky.
Logan is working as a bounty hunter. His brother in law has run into trouble with gambling and owes Moran two thousand dollars from gambling debt. He has asked that no one tells Janie his sister because he thinks she will leave Tom.
Moran only wanted Tom and Logan out of his way but when Sara arrives he doesn’t make a move. Logan returns and helps clear Tom’s name. Good book I enjoyed reading it.
I received an ARC of this book from the author, Lorelei Brogan, and this is my voluntary and honest review. I loved this book and the extended epilogue. The author did a great job creating the characters and writing in a way that made me want to keep reading until the end. The love story between Sara and Logan was great. They both had nurturing hearts and always put others before themselves so were perfectly matched. I was happy that Logan was able to do his job as a lawman safely. I highly recommend this book, and I look forward to the next book by this author.
Beautifully written historical romance with great characters. Sara Bailey heads to Kansas when she learns of her brothers arrest.

Arriving in Kansas, Sara sets her mind to making sure her brother gets home to be with his family no matter what she has to do. She teams up with her brother in law Logan to see how they can bring the family back together and clear her brothers name. A sure 5 star read.
WOW!!! Sara Bailey was a very responsible young woman but now she has to travel to Kansas he brother needed her. Events do not turn out well and she with the help of Logan Payne set out to deal with the problem. This story was so full of action you will be caught right at first and it will not let you go. With high emotions and a realistic storyline, the characters will seem to just jump off the page. This was such a good story it was captivating in so many ways. High praise for the author she has written one hell of a book.
Partners in Justice and Love A Historical Western Romance Book
This is a very heartwarming story Saga travels to help her brother Tom that has been falsely accused and sentenced to five years in prison Logan is another that believes he is innocent and then Logan and Sara find love and happiness after a few problems they get justice for wrongs done Another good read by this author
Sara came to help Janie, her sister-in-law, after her brother Tom was framed and sent to prison. Logan, Janie's brother, had been a bounty hunter and left to make money bringing in outlaws to pay a debt that Tom had from gambling. When Logan heard of Tom's imprisoned he returned, and he and Sara set about to clear Tom's name. This story is full of intriguing and believable characters. It is a wonderful story of forgiveness and love. I couldn't put it down.
This story starts out fast and continues as Sara heads out West to help her brother's family. The story is well written and the characters are well thought out. Our hero is a good man, but slow when it comes to how women think. The action keeps this story moving and the romance only advances when Logan is made to see the error in his thinking. Sara is so good, it seems ashamed to waste her on an ex-bounty hunter. Sara sees the good man in Logan, not the monster that he sees.
Sara Bailey travels to Kansas from Baltimore to attend her brother Tom’s trial after she arrives Tom is arrested and sentenced to five years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Logan Payne a Bounty Hunter and brother to Janie who is Tom’s wife. As Logan helps Sara clear Tom’s name a romantic attraction develops between them but Logan is keeping a secret from Janie which may ruin his relationship with his sister. I really enjoyed this wonderful western romance novel.
Sara came to help her brother and received much more. Logan was a bounty hunter and was a loner. From the time they met sparks were firing in their hearts. Logan's family life was terrible. He was always protecting his mom and Janie. He helped anyone who needed his help. Because he helped Tom and kept a secret he almost lost Sara. Read and enjoy this adventure to see if their love survived.Praise
A great story about families and how someone will do anything to help their loved ones. Sara is brave and responsible. Quick to help family in need. Logan loves his sister and his nephews and when his brother in law needs help he jumps right away to help. The 2 make a great team.
I love stories by Lorelei Brogan. Her characters are strong and the story lines hold your interest. Logan and Sara both will go to great extremes to help and protect their siblings. Even though Tom made some major mistakes, he was taken advantage of by an evil man and will need Janie, Sara and Logan to clear his name. I totally enjoyed this book.
A warm and touching story of life on the open plaines of Kansas all the way from Baltimore. A family who faces lots of struggles and hardships on their ranch which is made even more difficult because of outlaws. A very entertaining story that kept me reading into the night.
Lorelei has written another wonderful book! This is a clean western romance, with just enough intrigue. The characters are well developed to make the story line believable!
I received this book through ARC for my honest opinion. Sara Bailey and her Bounty Hunter are adorable! Loved this book. If you love westerns then this is A must read !
I really did enjoy this story of two couples caught up in the hands of evil. Their strength and love made a good story. I liked the supporting towns people and the love that grew. I recommend this book to all romantic readers, thank you, Jack.
These characters are amazing! The two little boys are wonderfully written. I could 'see' them so clearly. I smiled at their antics. The imagery of the landscapes were also easy to picture. Highly recommend this one!
This was a very nice story about losing one’s way, and how family can overcome the pain and problems to set it right and how love and trust can cause pain, and how the truth can set you free!
Courageous women & brave men, unafraid to fight for the right; this is what it took to live in the West. Loved this book & all I've read by this author!
Has me wondering what will become of Sara and Logan. Such sweet people. Read and find out what will happen in this story. A page turner and sweet as well.
I loved meeting Tom and his sister Sara… also meeting Logan and his sister…Tom and Janie were married…Logan was a bounty hunter…there were secrets all around… GREAT BOOK…
The characters are interesting and so is the story. I am not certain the new house could be be built in that short of the time with all the other obligations of life, but it makes a good ending.
Another great author! I loved this book, and found it diffult to lay it down. It was a western full of family life on a ranch, where many problems were shared. There were many ups and downs of romance and emotions. A real page turner!
Partners in Justice and Love (Tales of Brave Western Love)
The turmoil that some characters go through is something else. Having your husband arrested without any reason. And conflict with some you love, but can’t be with until everything is out in the open.
A beautiful historical western romance, filled with love, action, trials and tribulations. Beautiful characters, lots of action, a good book to get absorbed in to forget about life's upheavals.
