I won this book on the Dancing Word chat when Diann was the guest, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Casey O’Hare is my kind of heroine; tough, smart and vulnerable. She’s also scared and with good reason. One of the baddest of the bad men is after her and she knows he will never give up. Casey’s mother died when she was fourteen. Her dad was a drunk, so when Tim, her older brother, joined Davis Jenkins outlaw gang, he took Casey with him.

Now, Casey is tired of the outlaw life. She wants to quit running and live a normal life, a good life. There’s just one problem. Her face is on all of those wanted posters. The rumors about Casey O’Hare are rampant. Every lawman in the area is after her, and so is Davis Jenkins.

Then one night Casey looks up from her campfire, right at the steel barrel of a Winchester .44. The man behind the gun introduces himself as Morgan. Driven by hate and a need for vengeance, Morgan wants Jenkins, and he plans to use Casey as bait. Davis Jenkins is a hard man to catch, and a shootout leaves Morgan wounded and Casey has a decision to make. Leave him behind to die or risk her life to save him.

Two people driven by fear and hatred, each wanting to be free, but not knowing how to escape the traps they have set for themselves. However, no problem is too big for God. Diann Mills’ Leather and Lace is a gripping story about right and wrong, love and hate, and the importance of doing what is right, regardless of the cost. Leather and Lace is a must for your Need to Read list.
