Review: Deacon's Law

Deacon's Law by R.J. Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

How do you balance the need to do your job, save lives and protect someone you’re falling for? This is the dilemma Deacon finds himself in. He’s undercover trying to take down a truly evil man and his family. Into the middle of all this wanders Rafe. While Deacon believes he’s innocent, how can he really tell? What do you do when the one person you want is the one you can’t step out of character for and show who you really are?

Rafe wants justice, for his mother and his father. He knows his uncle has something to do with both of their deaths. He needs to find something to prove it. While staying at his uncle’s house, he can’t fight his attraction to Deacon. But how can he be falling for someone who works for his uncle?

The first part of the story is all about conflicted emotions for both Deacon and Rafe. Deacon wants to do whatever he can to get Rafe out of harm’s way and Rafe is just as determined to not leave until he has the proof he needs.

The next part of the story happens three years down the road. Circumstances have led to Rafe and Deacon reconnecting. And the feelings from three years before haven’t gone away for either man. In the middle of danger, the relationship developing between Deacon and Rafe is a slow burn. And the sex is more sweet and caring than hot.

This story has all the intrigue, danger and angst you could want. It has some twist and turns as well. It keeps you on edge, waiting to see what happens next. This was book three in the series, it can standalone but is better read in the order of the series. I can’t wait for the next in this series.
