Paying tribute to her Nana and making stories to tell her future grandkids

Lance is an officer with the Stryker County Police Department and finds himself chatting with one of the local gas station store owners one evening when a beautiful young woman at the back of the store catches his attention.
Caitlan Warnos is on a mission to pay tribute to her Nana. She has invited her best friend Valerie along and they have stopped at a gas station store so she can buy a pocket knife. At twenty-four she lives on her own, works full-time, pays her bills and always obeys the law. You see her father is Chief Warnos and she is always afraid anything she does he will find out about. But tonight she is going to break the law, well bend it a bit actually. Caitlan's Nana was a woman that lived a fun and exciting life telling all sorts of stories to Caitlan, sometimes with TMI. She had always encouraged Caitlan to live a little and loosen up.
Lance and Caitlan meet in the store when she goes up to the counter to pay for her items, as she also grabbed a number of other things so she does not look suspicious. Then she and Valerie head on their way to the Stryker Country sign so she can carve her name alongside her grandparents names. This is the anniversary of the night they had snuck out to the sign and then also decided to elope. Well you can just guess how this new "law-breaker"fairs as before she can even get three letters done the red and blue lights appear along the highway by the sign. Luckily for Caitlan it is Lance and he recognizes her.

This is a funny, as in laugh out loud, deliciously sweet and dirty sexy short story. I loved story as it and and characters have a lot of heart and emotion. I recommend this book

Caitlin wants to pay tribute to her grandparents on the anniversary of when they eloped. So with the help of a friend they purchased what they would need plus a few other items and went to the sign her grandparents had carved their names in. But before they could even make it out of the store they run into Lance a cop that worked for Caitlin's dad. Lance knew by looking at them that they were up to no good but nothing could've prepared him for what. When he is called out to the sign and finds Caitlin hiding on it and has to help her down off it. Then he doesn't turn her in which shocks Caitlin. Lance knew that his attraction to her probably was going to cause some problem with his boss. But it wasn't going to stop him from claiming his woman. What was her dad going to do about them being together? Would this cost Lance his job?

This is a great story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Sweet short Insta love story Lance is a police officer who sees Caitlin for the first time in a convenient store. She’s buying a little penknife so she can carve her name in the back of their county sign as a tribute to her Nana who passed away a year ago. Caitlin is very nervous, she is extremely law abiding but wants to be bold and wild, like her Nana. While she’s up at the sign trying to carve her name someone calls the police and Lance is the responding officer. He has Caitlin come down and while talking to her feels such a connection, they kiss. Caitlin feeling bold asks Lance to take her home with him. Lance is a little concerned because she is his chief’s daughter but still feels she is his one! The next morning the chief shows up at their house and Lance tells him he loves her and wants to marry her. Caitlin loves him too and decide that she’s old enough to stand up to her dad. Cute epilogue adorable story.

First things first; I like the cover of this book!
Lance is book three in the ‘’Stryker county PD’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. After the recent passing of her grandmother, Caitlin decides to be a rebel. Lance wants Caitlin as soon as he meets her but she is his bosses daughter.
The chemistry between Lance and Caitlin is clear to see and I liked them together. I thought they made a cute couple.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

When Lance receives a call about vandalls at the city sign, he doesn't expect to see Caitlin there. When he has to go and rescue her, sparks fly everywhere and he does not want to take her in, but wants to take her home like the book info tells.

I love this addition to the series and flew trough the book in no time, a real page turner I would love to read again when the series is complete and I will devour all of them once again.

Caitlin follows the rules to the dot. However, after losing her Nana, she wants to do something against the rules in memory of her.
Lance is not ready for the events that happen after meeting Caitlin.
Short hot read that will make you laugh out loud several times.

Caitlin is determined to be an outlaw. At least once out of her whole 24 years. Her dad is a police sheriff and he’s always on point if there’s anything wrong. She wants to perform illegal behavior to honor her grandmothers mischievous life with granddad. And that entails carving her name on the back of a gigantic wooden sign. Lance is the police officer on duty. He sees her at the store and now she’s up to something. But he also can’t keep his eyes off of her. It is the attraction keeping his distracted. He gets a calling to find out is Caitlin hanging from the sign board is it gonna take her in? Or is it gonna take her home? Short read. No cliffhangers

An insta-love romance with the right feels. Lance immediately feels the pull to Caitlin and she can't stop thinking about him but she is also about to commit a crime in a small town which is kind of funny. She also happens to be the chief's daughter who is also Lance's boss. But they can't deny their chemistry and it's explosive. I love how Lance doesn't beat around the bush. It's fast-paced and short with some humor and I can't wait for Valerie's story.

Caitlin is ready to vandalise the sign on the state highway with her name, just like her grandma and grandpa many years before. A month after her grandmother dies from cancer. Lance is the policeman on duty who sees her buying the pocketknife from the convenience store. Lance is called to the sign because a vandal has been seen there. One thing leads to another and the two of them share a kiss, which leads to a lot more and a sleepover. It’s love at first sight for the both of them.

Caitlin is about to do something illegal. Lance is about to look the other way. They can't be caught together - he's a cop, and her father is the chief of police. I really enjoyed this story. Caitlin, Miss Straight-as-an-Arrow, is going to do something that her grandmother did back in the day, and I love the closeness that she still feels. Lance just knows he's stepping in it big-time, but I like that he's willing to suffer the consequences to stay with his woman. I really love the epilogue!

Lance is the third book in the Stryker County PD series and it will have you laughing and smile as you read.

Caitlin is straight lace and happens to be the police's daughter, but the one time she decided to follow her Nana's footsteps she runs into the hottest man she has ever seen and he just happens to be a cop. Time stands still the moment Lance sees Caitlin, but when he realizes she is the police chief's daughter he felt the world is laughing at him. When Lance catches Caitlin at the country sign the stark fly and the feeling in their heart explodes to the point there is not denying they are meant for each other.

This fast read is hot, steam, fun and sweet.

a short quick funny read where the alpha lawman will sweep his lucky girl off her feet, fall in love istantly, marry quickly, have babies even quicker and still be together in the epilogue set years later. Im unlucky in love so i just shook my head at how quickly the story moved along, but the series was a great quick read for a fun filled weekend away camping.
