Review-Good Trouble-Lani Lynn Vale

 

Bain met Diana, a.k.a. Luce, the night before he was set to deploy to Afghanistan.

It’s not every day that you take your brother’s girlfriend to prom because he refuses to put out the effort.

That night was one of the best nights of his life and the next day, he leaves and doesn’t see her again.

But there are letters. Not many, but enough for them to form a connection.

Over the two-year deployment, they became great friends.

The best of friends—at least, as good of friends as you can be when it’s your brother’s wife.

Fast-forward six years and she still counts him as one of her greatest friends. Even going as far as to stick by him when he’s sent to prison because his own brother turned on him.

***

Luce had a crush on her then-boyfriend’s brother since way before she and Bain’s brother were married. From the moment he volunteered to take her to prom, she’d fallen.

Over the years, she’d tried to hide it. Tried to go on with her life and act like she loved her husband and only her husband. But as time went on and Braxton started to treat her more and more like crap, she realized the truth. Her husband wasn’t Bain. Her husband would never be him.

Hell, that’d been proven time and time again.

The smoking gun, though? The thing that made her realize it was time to leave?

When her husband stood by while she was assaulted, while the man she tried to act like was just a friend protected her. Then was sentenced to eight years in jail for it.

It was time to admit the truth.

Bain McDempsey was it for her. She just had to help him see it. Oh, and get him out of prison first. 



Our Review


"Brother's ex-wife, 5 stars"

I love a good taboo relationship story and like always, Vale delivered. Bain Diana/Luce when she was dating his brother. Actually it was prom night. When his brother pulls a fantastically douchy move Bain steps in. That night was the start of the bond between these two. One that over time grew so much that he ended up serving time for protecting her. When he gets out of jail though she's single and well, Bain could really care less about what others think.
These two were a long time coming and Vale built it up perfectly. Do yourself a favor and grab this one.

Review-Nobody Cares UNless You're Pretty- Lani Lynn Vale

 


The problem with Wake was that he was understandable. He was the type of villain that literally scared the absolute shit out of you because you knew that under the right circumstances, you could end up exactly like him.

Which, sadly, was the case for me.

I’d done the exact same thing as Wake, and now I was a murderer just like him.

Did I know that I did wrong? Hell yes.

Did I regret that? Hell no.

Did I plan on changing a thing? Also, no.

Was I falling in love with a man that should scare the shit out of me? A resounding hell yes.
 


Our Review

"Another series, 5 stars"

Okay, when we met Wake in Bram's book I wanted him right then. Dude intrigued me. He's wealthy but has also spent time behind bars? Hand him over. You also meet his woman Dutch in that book and it was the perfect lead in.
I loved how Dutch was just as crazy as Wake. She was willing to risk it all and did. All he wanted to do was protect her. There were twists and turns, spice and more. This book has it all and I was here for it.

Review- Suck This- Lani Lynn Vale

 
Blood, sex and alcohol.

That was what Club Worth was all about.

Ever since vampires had come out to the world, people had been obsessed. Take a walk on the wild side and see what the nightclub was all about.

Acadia Powell, on the other hand, didn’t do vampires. Nor did she do messy.

What she did do was stay away from people like Constantine Worth, Master of the City, and the most gorgeous man in the history of men. It didn’t matter that he had hypnotizing eyes, beautiful lips, and the sexiest body she’d ever had the privilege of laying eyes on.

It should be easy for her to stay away, but with each subsequent encounter, it’s becoming harder and harder to fight the growing need inside of her.

***

Constantine Worth knew that Acadia was off limits. Not only was she human and not willing to slum it with the undead, but she was also the baby sister of the city’s chief of police. The man that liked to arrest him every other day and twice on Sunday.

He should hate her based solely on the last name she shared with her brother. Yet each time he sees her, he forgets that he’s supposed to be playing nice. She sets his blood to boil, and each time she lets the verbal slurs flow, he finds it harder and harder to maintain his distance.

Soon, he will have to make a choice. Maintain his upstanding relationship with human law enforcement, or take what he wants, and damn the consequences.



Our Review


"Vampire Goodness, 5 stars"

It's no secret I love everything Vale writes. This time though, I won't lie, I was leery. I love vampire stories but they aren't what I know Vale for. Long story short she now has me believing she can write anything she decides to type out. Constantine is an incredibly old vampire who happens to have a thing for a woman (Acadia) who hates vampires. Make it make sense. Long story short though, he wins her over and changes her mind. The chemistry between these two was perfection.

Review-Never Trust the Living- Lani Lynn Vale

 


It’s not every day that someone tries to pin a murder on you and a random girl you just met. But Bram Crow isn’t your average, everyday guy, either.

One second, he’s hiding evidence with the girl, and the next, he has to marry her so a police detective doesn’t get suspicious.

Did he mention that he had a long-term girlfriend at the time?

To say that things didn’t go as planned would be an understatement.

To say that falling in love with his wife definitely wasn’t part of the plan either.

Nor was her leaving him when he finally realized she was his world.


Our Review:

"Speak now or forever hold your piece, 5 stars" 

I feel like I've been waiting on Bram and Dory's story for forever. These two, *sigh*. They are the very definition as to why you should never leave words unspoken. Their relationship started off unorthodox then stayed that way. It was complete torture. My heart ached for Dory and I wanted to slam Bram's head into a wall a thousand and one times. Finally though our boy pulled his head out of where the sun doesn't shine and got it together in the knick of time. It was a fantastic end to the series that left you on your toes until the last page. Vale killed it with this one.

Release + Review - The Faceoff Cali Melle





 Eden

After experiencing a nasty break-up during my freshman year, there is one type of guy that I refuse to get involved with.

Anyone from the university’s hockey team.

Hayden King is arrogant, cocky, has a reputation for being a playboy and there isn’t a single thing about him that I like.

One drunken summer night turns into a bad decision with Hayden. One that I swear that I’ll never make again.

But once senior year starts, I can’t seem to get away from him. He’s everywhere I go, everywhere I turn.

He’s under my skin and I find myself making mistake after mistake with him.

We better learn from our mistakes before our hearts get involved…

Hayden

Eden Finley is as cold as the ice that she skates on.

She’s the best figure skater at Wyncote University and I don’t know how I missed her when I first came here.

After one night with her over the summer, I can’t get her out of my head.

She has a chip on her shoulder, a nasty attitude and she hates my guts.

Which all only makes her more appealing.

I live for the chase, for the challenge.

And Eden Finley has no idea what she’s gotten herself into….



Louise's Review


The Faceoff is book 4 in the Wyncote Wolves series, a Hockey romance with a HEA.

Hayden is settled into his new team, after having to start fresh at a new school because of his coaches daughter he is making it. When he meets this gorgeous girl with only 1 thing on her agenda.

Eden is not a fan of hockey players, they get preference and she is sick of it. When Hayden doesn't give up she finds herself his number 1 fan.

I personally really enjoyed this story, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this series and i cannot wait to get my hands on the next book.
