Lori L. Lake's, Have Gun We'll Travel, the first thriller/action-adventure in her Gun series, is an engaging read that will have you on the edge of your seat rooting for the safe return of heroines, Desiree Reilly and Jaylynn Savage. Dez and Jay are first introduced in Lake's award-winning novel, Gun Shy. Their adventures continued in Under the Gun. In Have Gun We'll Travel, the off-duty St. Paul police officers are heading for a hard-earned R & R. When the gals set out on a hiking/camping expedition in the breathtaking Minnesota North Woods with friends Crystal (a fellow officer), and Shayna (her lover and a civilian), their vacation turns into something far from restful.

Dez and Jay are more committed to each other than ever. Dez has discovered the joys of intimacy--she cherishes and is less fearful of her relationship with Jay. Having battled post-traumatic stress disorder, Dez is put to the test in every way imaginable. She races against time as she tries to rescue Jaylynn, after escaped convicts from the Kendall Correctional Facility, located outside Buyck, Minnesota, abduct her. The State Police are not enough so the National Guard is called in, and Dez is frantic to save her lover before something terrible happens to her. Can Dez get to Jay in time?

More than ever, Dez is stronger in matters of the mind and heart. It's wonderful to follow along with Dez's emotional development and personal growth as the Gun series progresses. After she learns how to cope, she draws on experience in order to battle the trials ahead. Jaylynn is a good role model for handling crisis and stress. Together they make a good team. Their story is one that this reader would like to continue exploring and reading about for years to come.

When you pick up a novel written by Lori L. Lake, you are guaranteed a well thought out plot, characters worth emulating, multi-dimensional villains, and a thoroughly enjoyable story. Lake's writing makes readers feel like they are living the action and not just reading about it. The sights, sounds, and smells are vivid, as are the thoughts and feelings the characters experience during spine-tingling moments. Readers are taken on a thrilling ride of uncertainty, missed opportunities, and hope that Jaylynn will return to safety. Will good prevail over evil?

With prison escapees and the Russian mob thrown in for good measure, the action seems to have a life of its own as it grabs your attention and doesn't let go until the climactic conclusion. Lake has managed to pack plenty of action/drama/tension in the third book in the Gun series. Have Gun We'll Travel is a thrilling and often-chilling five star read. Don't miss this wonderful addition to Lori L. Lake's amazing collection of literature.
