Razor Wire

By Lauren Gallagher

Two women. One terrible crime. Zero allies.

After being raped by a superior officer, MA3 Kim Lockhoff wants to leave the whole thing in the past. A cop herself, she knows all too well that it’s her word—and slutty reputation—against that of a respected Navy officer.

MA2 Reese Marion, a tough cop hiding her own trauma behind a hard-as-nails exterior, has no patience for pretty little princesses who use their cleavage to win favor with the guys. But when Reese is partnered with Kim, she slowly realizes that reputations can lie. Kim is whip-smart, ambitious—and scared. The man who attacked her won’t let anything damage his career, least of all Kim . . . or the baby she’s carrying as a result.

Isolated on Okinawa, thousands of miles away from home, the two women lean hard on each other. But when Kim confides in Reese, she unwittingly puts her new lover—and both of their careers—in the line of fire. Now her attacker just might have the leverage he needs to keep her quiet for good.

Lauren Gallagher is an abnormal romance writer currently living in the wilds of Omaha, Nebraska.

The implementation of Operation: I Don't Think So is expected to resolve that problem soon enough.

Reviews for Razor Wire

[daniexj · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

That was intense and a little depressing (the topic, not the writing).It's the story of Kim. She's a Navy MA3 in Okinawa. When we start the story she's a mess. She's pregnant with her Lieutenant's (Stanton) baby, and the story only gets worse and more intense as we learn why.We then meet Reese. She's an MA2 on the same base and gets asked by their MA1, Gutierrez, to be Kim's sorta friend, and to help Kim 'get herself squared away'. Of course, if it were that easy there'd be no story. And as Reese tries to help Kim out, the two of them also get closer.As I said before, it was an intense story. The characters were written in such a way that it was made super easy to 'choose sides' against the Lieutenant and certain other characters. And just reading some parts of the novel made me pissed as hell at some of the characters.It was a good book and a good read. Solid three stars.I got this advanced galley through Netgalley on behalf of Rip Tide Publishing.
