Bear Bottom Guardians MC #8
Snitches Get Stitches
Good vs Bad.
Light vs Dark.
Right vs Wrong.
There are always two sides to every coin.
Josiah ‘Liner’ Paldecki knew the moment he laid eyes on her that there was something different about her. Something special. Something so unique that it practically poleaxed him the moment that their eyes met.
Except, the next time he saw her, it was like she was a different woman altogether. There was a blankness to her eyes that concerned him. An air of menace about her that honestly scared him to death. He’s more than man enough to admit it.
At first, Liner thinks it’s because she’s bi-polar, or possibly psychopathic.
Then he realizes the truth.
That there isn’t a single person that exhibits such different personalities, but two.
Two identical twin sisters, both completely different, yet exactly the same.
One with a soul, and one without.
One that has his heart, and one that only wants to destroy it.

This was very much a mixed bag for me I still was entertained but did have some slight issues.
So this was an enjoyable read and really quite an easy one.
It was quite instalove in nature which did work for me and I really appreciated the easy emotion between our two Main Characters.
The heat factor here with Josiah and Lani was equally a plus point and I really did like both of there personalities here especially Josiah/Liner, so that was another point in favour for me.
The barf scene here with the dog I thought was hilarious, I have actually been in Josiah's position myself so do sympathise greatly.
The epilogue as well was very nicely done.
All said this was a heartwarming enjoyable endeavour.
Now for my issues, There were certain scenarios in this story that left me a tad sceptical at there authenticity just because they seemed a little far-fetched in actual nature and really stretched my belief system.
Also, deeper reasoned explanations for the extreme and narcissistic behaviour and actions displayed here was very lacking indeed, yep I know they were perceived as sociopathic but that is not a reason in itself.
I would have liked this expanded on slightly.
I also got slightly confused and turned around within the narrative at times and had to reread certain passages for more clarity.
Also, don't go into this expecting an MC romance as despite the title this is not actually one.
Liner/Josiah is apparently in an MC but that's really as far as this goes in terms of that plot direction, this didn't actually bother me personally but just so you are aware of that fact.
Finally the title: I'm not actually sure why it's called what it is but beyond it being extremely catchy it doesn't really relate in any shape or form to the story being told here.
So yeh mixed one this, there was still enough here to keep me invested and reading on and the romance itself here was ever so heartwarming.
On a final note, this was well written and if you like your heros super warm and protective this so has that vibe in spades.

To say the heroine hasn’t had an easy life would be an understatement. I think this is the most suffered LLV heroine to date. I liked how her little rebellions and displays of defiance gave her more dimension and depth. I loved Liner’s protective nature and how he helped our heroine wake up and learn to stand for herself.
The plot really didn’t rank high on the believability scale, but still kept my attention consistently. I enjoyed the extremes. This story took a few twists and turns into some interesting events. It’s a testament to the writer that I can take the story for what it is and the entertainment it brings when I tend to be on the pickier side concerning plausibility.
The writing had that LLV tone, completely with sass and humor. All in all a solid addition to the Bear Bottom MC family.

Wow! Theo and Liner's story was more epic saga than simple romance. The layer upon layer of subterfuge in the story make its reading intense, sometimes tragic and others heartbreaking. The obstacles the couple is forced to overcome to find their HEA make for a book that is impossible to put down without knowing with absolute certainty that the characters you have become so invested in will prevail. There are heartwarming elements to the story as well such as the unconditional love between siblings, the love of a parent for a child, the unbreakable bonds of true friendship, and the firm belief that true happiness is attainable despite all odds. Lani Lynn Vale's latest addition to this series is a great read from start to finish and will leave you eager to see what could possibly happen next to this group of complex alpha men who are the Bear Bottom Guardians MC.

5 ‘So Much More Than Meets The Eye’ Stars
Hot Damn!!! I was already expecting Liner’s story to be amazing, but this wasn’t just amazing. It was PHENOMENAL!!!!
I’ve been dying for Liner’s very own book since we first met the Bear Bottom MC, with the very first book. After all the hints and incredibly teasing disappearances and cryptic lines from Liner all throughout the first seven books of the series, and Tara’s – aka ‘evil incarnate’ – somehow role in his story have had me biting my nails to find out what he’d been hiding and how it would all play out, and I can honestly say, WOW, just wow…
Lani Lynn Vale just has the Midas touch, really, because – without giving it away – she indeed created a complex and intricate explanation and setting that not only did it connect all the main points left open in the previous books, regarding Tara and her family, as well as her less than pleasant menace to the club members, but weaved it in a manner that not only did it explain all, revealing the rich and complex setting and background, but specially and incredible epic and detailed character build up.
Theo was without a doubt one of the most endearing and special heroines that I have ever read about, and Liner… OMG, this man was the most PERFECT of heroes! A true contemporary Knight in shining armor – one of my Fav LLV Alphas, for sure!
Snitches Get Stitches surpassed and my expectations and then some! And after that teasing scene with Slate and Harleigh, oh my… I’m already counting down the days for the next Bear Bottom MC man, Slate, to fall. 😉 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
“I also know that when you’re gone, I’m going to have a hole in my heart shaped like a perfect Theo cutout.”
“I love you, Josiah,” I whispered fiercely. “Tomorrow. The day after. I’ll never stop.”

4.5 stars
Once again Lani Lynn Vale captured my attention from the first page of a book and kept it until the very last word. Liner’s story has been eagerly anticipated by fans and it does not disappoint. The mystery of who the heroine is, is finally solved and boy is it a doozy! The heroine has lived a very hard life and suffered from extreme, unimaginable mental and physical abuse. The fact that she lived through so much but is still a caring, loving person will make you fall in love with her. There are a few scenes in this book that gutted me, the emotions so strong and pain so deep that I had to stop and play a few rounds of Candy Crush to move one, but it’s so worth it!
Snitches Get Stitches has Lani’s much loved style, alpha men, sassy women, humor, passion and great supporting cast, but this book is a bit dark and more intense that LLV’s previous books. It’s an amazingly, intense roller coaster of emotions that culminates with a very satisfying epilogue.
p.s. To fully understand everything in this story you should read the Bear Bottom MC series before you read Snitches Get Stitches.

Snitches get Stitches was another Lani Lynn Vale hit where the banter and sass between the characters had me so addicted to their story. Liner and Theo were sexy, honest and so raw. I could not get enough of their story.
Without giving anything away this this story had alot of mystery, intensity and struggle. Theo sacrifices so much for her daughter having to deal with her family. I love how Liner was so protective and yet alpha but he always a soft spot for her.
Overall in this story, Vale amped up the intensity with her powerful words in Snitches get Stitches. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future. 4 stars! ~Ratula

I'm sure everyone is probably sick of me complimenting this author and loving her books, but what can I say... lol
This one was no different. Out of all the books in this series this one was right up there with Rome's story. What Theo went through, oh my word. And my heart just broke for her and that awful family she came from.
But Liner, oh man I really really loved him. He just stole my heart. From the moment he saw this women in the window crying he knew there was something different about her, he knew she wasn't the heartless, unfeeling person they thought she was. But he was in for a huge surprise the day he eventually found her.
Everything about this book will have you falling in love with this story and this couple and especially this series. The suspense in this one will literally kill you. Liner and Theo was definitely made for each other. She was a strong women after everything she went through and the day she met Liner she just knew that he would change her life.
I don't want this series to end ❤ ❤ ❤ I can't say this enough if you love suspense, drama, angst, bikers, romance, amazing characters then READ this Author's books!!!

Honesty, I'm not sure how I feel about this book. On one side, I liked it, even though, I thought the story will go somewhat differently. But on the other, it seemed Theo problems been solved too easily and conveniently.

Ever hear curiosity killed the cat ?"Well", for Liner that is partly true.Liner for sometime noticed something was wrong with one of the members women that he could not just put his finger on what it was and years later he is still obsessing until it leads him on a path to satisfy his spidey sense which leads him to Theo and Linny.
This story was a very emotional one especially sense one of the main character's had been tortured in one sense or another her entire life but, there had been a few brief few days that they knew what it was like to know what love and happiness was all about.
As the story unfolds it had tons of drama,suspicions,twists and turns and was about love a sacrifices and finding love for a couple when neither were expecting it, but would change three lives forever. So touching.....
Theo-We found her to be sweet kind,caring,brave,loving,and a women who had been abused for 20 plus years and yet still remained pure of heart.
Liner-We just loved him! We found him to be caring,loving,sexy,protective,determined and a bloodhound when it came to obtaining knowledge and a man for once in his life is going to follow his heart and where it leads him.
Overall this was a great read for us that had a ton of things going on to keep us engaged and turning the pages.As the story unfolds more and more secrets come to light and three people who deserve to be together need to overcome some huge obstacles and one heck of a rocky road in order for them to obtained their happily ever afters and to truly grasps all that their heart desires.
"Well done"! "Our favorite kind of story"!
Another great read that goes into the keeper pile for us to be read over and over again.Lani Lynn Vale is truly one of our favorite authors and each and every time gives us character's to fall in love and each and every time we do just that when she creates a new story for us to dive right in and we do it all over again!

My feelings about Snitches Get Stitches ran—most of the time—cold. I didn't like the twin premise. And I hadn't enjoyed the fact that suddenly, all horrid villains (who tortured people and their feelings for years) went so dumb. All of them, all in one instance... when the hero met the heroine.

I'm new to the Bear Bottom Guardians MC series, which is crazy considering this is the 8th story, so it took me a minute to get into this one but once I did I was off to the races. Snitches Get Stiches was very unique with how the storyline was written, I love that it first starts off with Liner's POV since I always enjoy getting into a guy's head. Seeing everything play out through his eyes you get a lot more to the story than if coming from just Theo, who I just know I would have constantly cried for all the suffering she went through and all the pain she still feels. A twin sister who did experiments on her, an older brother who took his own wrath out on her, and a father who allowed it all to happen, I can't even begin to imagine the horror of it all. Amazingly Theo turned out the opposite and became so selfless that Liner immediately took notice and that was all it took to keep coming back for more. I really loved how the storyline turned suspenseful and I couldn't see what was happening next, I just knew I needed to keep flipping pages because Lani Lynn Vale had me truly invested in Liner and Theo's story. I did feel the ending came a bit quickly, there was such a good buildup and then poof it was over. I would love for there to be more coming in this series since I'm just now discovering it but even if there isn't, I do see myself reading the other seven to become much more acquainted with all the other characters and how their club came to be.

Love these Guardians!
Each time an LLV story hits my kindle it is time to celebrate! Liner and Theo’s story was everything I’ve come to expect from this series, from this author. Emotion to spare, suspense, danger and a few (or a lot) of twists to keep things moving at a fast clip. At the center, as usual, are the relationships between all the characters. Main, secondary, or the villains of the piece, each character has a unique voice and speaks volumes even when they don’t say a word…
What happens if you have an identical twin that is exactly like you in only one superficial way? Theo and Liner’s story was anything but easy and had me flipping pages like there was a hurricane in here… The chemistry between them was high and burned from their first official meeting. I loved how Theo knew instinctively what was needed and did everything, everything, to make it happen. Even if it hurt him deeply. And Theo? Well strength has her picture beside its name in the dictionary. Together, they could move mountains...
I got lost in their story and didn’t come up for air until the end!

MIND BLOWN!
I'm going to try and keep this as short as possible because I don't want to give anything away.
You're probably right in your assumptions HOWEVER you know nothing still. Suspense? Oh yes, you'll be hanging onto every word just waiting .. not even sure what your waiting for but knowing something is coming. That'll be you reading it.
This story did not disappoint!. It does however carry a darker plot than some of Lani's previous story. It harrowing. So much character development!. Lani digs deep in this one stripping it all back and giving us real RAW emotions that will have you in all kinds of states.
I loved the characters hard. They are so perfect for eachother. He KNEW. He fought for her the whole damn way and I can't get enough of that!.
It's suspenseful, climactic, heartbreaking and RAW. It's love, determination and selflessness. It's discovering new things and learning to live again. It's so many things I can't even.
The story is perfectly written. I couldn't decide how it would go when I dived in but this exceeds any expectations I ever had. A-MAZ-ING.
Also fuck yes for awesome side characters!! Even when they act like shitheads. They still fit perfectly into the story and this larger than life world.
I'll come back at a later date with more but for now I'm shutting up before I spew all the secrets.

Josiah 'Liner' Paldecki hated Tara with every fiber of his being for what he did to his friend and MC brother Rome and their son. One moment niggled in Liner's brain though about Tara and it was the radiant blue eyes that did not match nor the look of compassion he had never witnessed on her. Liner is like a dog with a bone though and he uncovers a horrid truth surrounding a twin named Theo.
I don't want to give anymore then the basic as this story needs to unfold while you read it. It was probably one of the more darker of Lani Lynn Vale's books. I absolutely loved this one, it is a tear jerker to be sure. This is one of these books you pick up and don't put down until the very end and then you can't stop thinking about it.

The couple: Josiah (Liner) and Theodora (Theo)
Romance trope: MC/family trauma
Series: Bear Bottom Guardians MC
Length: 243 pages
Plot: Liner is somewhat content in his life, but his friends who used to live and gather next door have gone through some trauma at the hands of an ex. One day, he notices the ex's brother with a little girl. With some sleuthing, he ends up at a mental hospital and finds a doppelganger of the ex. From there, a mystery unfolds that ends with a storm and a runaway mental patient (or is she?). Theodora just met Liner, but he takes better care of her than anyone else in her life. But her sister isn't going to let her get away so easily, and Liner may have to put his life on the line to save Theo.
Commentary: I loved the relationship between Josiah and Theo and how it developed. I loved how he defended her at every turn, no matter who against. I thought that aspect was so important because nobody had protected her when she needed it. The only thing that lost that last star was that that poor group of people suffers the most unbelievable traumas and it seems impossible for one limited group of people to encounter such a diverse range of ridiculous incidents. Of course, this is fiction, but there definitely is a limit to what I'll believe is possible.
I did love it though and I love this author's storytelling, so I do recommend this series.

Poor Theo went through so much in her life before Josiah ‘Liner’ Paldecki came upon the scene. It didn't immediately get better after he got there, but he helped make things start to change in her life.
Their chemistry was crazy and off the charts, but the emotional aspects, especially hearing some of the things that Theo experienced, is what drew me in.

This was too far fetched. For a group working on the periphery of the law...they can confront a tiny undernourished female in a threatening manner but are powerless to overpower her psychotic twin, brother and father.
Not credible.

OMFG! Have you ever read a book where you wanted to reach in and literally beat the wholly hell out of a few characters?!?! Well if not prepare yourself, because LLV out did herself with Snitches Get Stitches. This storyline was filled with a large range of emotions from me. I went from raging mad, to sobbing, to ecstatic, to finally relieved.
I don't want to ruin it for anybody so I won't go into detail. However, with this being said I did love hero's tenacity to get to the bottom of the two separate personalities was astounding. He was not going to let anything stop him from figuring out just what in the world was going on. I am so happy he was the one to figure out what was going on with the heroine. If there is anybody who has ever needed to get what they deserve it would be her.

I am totally hooked on this series by LLV. It seems like each and every book keeps me wanting to find out what is going to happen.
I love the Bear Bottom Guardians MC and each of the characters is unique. The heroines are strong and the stories keep your attention.
This is Liner's story and let's just say, it double trouble and leave it at that. I found this book to be an emotion and suspenseful read but don't want to put up any spoilers.

If there’s one thing you can say about this author’s books, it is that they are hugely entertaining. I inhaled the story in one day because it was so riveting. This book in particular, had a different plot from others. The story was about a very sad character, very valiant and generous. I found that parts of the story were a tad exaggerated, but the story was so fascinating that I didn’t mind. It seems incredible that a person is subjected to a life of abuse and turns out so gentle and generous.
Theodora Threadgill is the twin sister of the hateful Tara, Rome’s ex-wife and mother of deceased Mathias. Liner only got to see her once and he was struck because she looked just like Tara but he could see that she was an entirely different person. There was no explanation for this until he saw her by chance in a mental hospital and that’s when he realized they were twins. Totally a devil/angel twin combination. Clearly Theo was held in the mental hospital, she accepted being there, and yet, she was not crazy at all! The crazy one was Tara.
Theo has another set of twin brothers, Andy and Tyson, and again we have the devil/angel combination. Andy was evil and Tyson was good. What Liner found out was that Tara, Andy and their father abused Theo all her life. Tyson tried to help but he wasn’t very strong and he was abused also when he tried. Within this dire situation, Theo had a child who was taken care of by Tyson while she was in the hospital and she only got to see her daughter during hospital visiting hours.
This all sounds very doom and gloom and yet it wasn’t. The book was fun, sassy and humorous in parts. Theo is such a gentle and loving soul that she brings light into the plot. When Liner arranges to help her and protect her child, she is grateful and attracted and curious. She has the strange combination of being a mother and being a virgin (you have to read the book to learn this one!). She’s very attracted to Liner, feels a strong chemistry and yet, is aware of the problems that surround them and separate them.
There is a lot of hostility within the MC club against Theo because of Tara and her crazy brother. There’s also strong feelings because her little girl resembles Mathias. There’s a mystery surrounding the abuse she got from her family dating from when she was little and the blackmail that had her imprisoned in the mental hospital. There’s also suspense from the expected retaliation of the bad Threadgills. And meanwhile, Liner and Theo get closer and Liner falls in love with her little girl, Linnie. It was a hugely entertaining read and I loved Theo. I love heroines who are gentle and loving and brave. She was a prisoner of a bad situation and made the best of it to protect the ones she loved.

Snitches Get Stitches is the 8th book in the Bear Bottom Guardians MC series and the second one I had the chance to read from the author. Lani Lynn Vale's writing has something that draws me into the story and it won't leave me until I finish the book. The story of this book could have easily originated from a telenovela and it was crazy. The different eye color thing bothered me since the twins are supposed to be identical, but after some research on the internet, I found out that it can happen, so I can't count that as a plot hole.
The blurb doesn't reveal much about the story and in a way it's good. As readers, we don't know what to expect and the story was full of surprises. Theo, our heroine, is a very tortured person and I couldn't help by feel sorry for her. The stuff she went through were tragic and I was hoping for a happy ending for her. Whether she gets it or not is up for you to find out when you read the book. From my limited experience from the author, I gathered that characters get a happy ending, but not everyone. The first book of the series had a weird happy ending for example. That's the reason I kept postponing to read the book. I wasn't sure about the story and if it was going to wreck me or not. I read it though and I was sucked into the story. I read it in one sitting and I kept turning page after page wanting to see what the author had planned for our characters. The book is a page-turner and since it can be read as stand-alone, you can pick it up without wondering what is going on.
Liner was a great hero and super protective of Theo. He was one of the best parts of the book and so was his lady. I cannot talk much about her, so I will only say that I love a strong heroine and she was one. Both of them won me over.

Well ok then. I for sure thought this one would suck. I really struggle with kids in books, and this one references crap I def don't like, but the love story is achingly sweet, and in the end - that won me over.
So Liner (owns an electric company?) has been investigating the "weirdness" from back in Book 1 where Rome's son died, where he was married to some evil woman named Tara. I didn't read that book because who the f*ck wants to read about dead kids?! Anyway, apparently there was one time that a woman showed up who looked like the evil Tara, but acted way different. So Liner ends up tracking down Theo (twin sister of evil Tara, abused her whole life, mom to Lenny), who has been committed to a mental health facility. There's a lot of stuff that happens that I actually, for once, won't spoil for you.
What won me over for this book was the absolutely beautiful love between Liner & Theo. I got a tear in my eye from it. There's not a lot of sex during the book, but the times they do have sex, it's incredible. You seriously feel the love between them and your heart will clench right in your chest!!
Especially their first time together because it's narrated by Aiden Snow - whom I love - and HOLY F*CKING HELL ON BISCUIT - that man just does it for me. His voice is the one that launched a thousand ships.
I was going to give it a 3 but their love swayed me to a 4.
Complaints are the usual ones, the repetition. Like one chapter every single character "went wild". I know I repeat the words like, so, and anyways during my reviews, but that's because I don't care and I'm not getting paid. Also, the f*cking storms, beards, twins, chocolate milk, etc. It's in every f*cking book by LLV. No original thoughts.

5 SMOOCHES!
The blurb for this book was purposefully vague about the identity of the heroine, and I’m not going to shed a single ray of light on that here. In fact, I’m going to keep this review short and sweet and a little vague. But I will say that if you are a regular Lani Lynn Vale reader, you must read this book, it is simply not to be missed. If you know anything about reading this author’s work, you know to expect the unexpected, and that’s exactly what she’s given her readers in this book.
Snitches Get Stitches was everything I want and expect in one of Vale’s books. There was plenty of her trademark quirky sense of humor, and there was a beautiful, sexy romance between a strong alpha male and an unlikely heroine. There was bantering and bickering amidst the gut-wrenching, heartbreaking emotion, and it was all tied up in a suspenseful plot as creative and intriguing as Vale has ever written.
I’ve read every single one of Lani Lynn Vale’s books. I know her style, I know her characters, I know her worlds, yet this was a story that I didn’t see coming. Oh, I had my suspicions and ideas and preconceived notions like all of Vale’s readers did, but I was wrong, and I’m so glad I didn’t allow them to hold me back from reading this book. Five smooches from me for Snitches Get Stitches by Lani Lynn Vale!

Snitches get Stitches by Lani Lynn Vale
“Is she one and the same? 5 stars”
Liner is one of those guys who likes to know everything if its of importance. When he notices the difference in his buddy Rome’s ex he can’t help but wonder what’s going on. Years have gone by and yet he’s curious. Then he finds out the truth. Will he be able to help Theo and convince his brothers to help as well?
Theo has made sacrifices where her family is concerned. That’s what happens when your related to a bunch of people so far past normal. Then she see’s an opportunity to get away thanks to Liner. Will it be a clean break or will she always have to look over her shoulder? Only one way to find out.
Vale always gives us a bit of mystery and intrigue with this series and Snitches get Stitches does just that. My heart ached for Theo and all that she went through and sacrificed to save her daughter. Liner is the best kind of alpha male and was exactly what she needed. He knew when to push her and he knew when to support her no matter how hard it was. Vale definitely gave us some twists and turns that I hadn’t seen before. Snitches get Stitches is one of those books you can read again and again.

This may be the shortest review I have every written for one of Lani’s books. There’s just SO FREAKING MUCH to Snitches Get Stitches that will blow your mind I don’t want to risk even slightly ruining that for anyone. This book is one you should go into blind and with your mind totally open because Liner and his woman’s story is one that will keep you gasping in shock, on the edge of your seat in suspense and will entirely steal your heart from practically the first page.
Liner seems to see what everyone around him has missed. His determination and his huge heart play such a big role in how absolutely beautiful the story he has with his woman is. The only thing that just might outshine how magnificent Liner is, is the strength of the woman he falls in love with. She has endured so much that many of us couldn’t even begin to imagine I didn’t know how she was still standing.
These two have a connection that runs so deep nothing and I mean absolutely nothing can break it. Where his love brings her back to life her love drives him to be an even better man than he already was.

When I opened this one I thought it was going to be about Tara and honestly I didn’t think I could get behind any book with her, she was evil. Turns out I was right and wrong. Tara is evil and I could get behind this book with her in it. Turns out Tara is a twin and the Tara we know is pure evil, while her twin, Theo, is sweet as can be and having a hard time living in this family of monsters. Liner, oddly enough was able to see through things, to the sweet woman Theo was and was able to be there for her when she needed someone most to help her. I loved that Liner embraced helping Theo and in doing so had to make some hard choices along the way, choices that were better for Theo, but not the best for him.
Finally when it seemed like we were heading for a HEA one last drama happened, one that had the potential to ruin it all. Thankfully by having faith they managed to all make through to their HEA, which was so very deserved!

Dang... I'm all about pulling up my big girl panties this month! I finally went back & finished the last book in this series & I'm so glad I did because Liner was a STUD!!
Evil twins, millionaires, a tornado, an immaculate conception, shoot-outs, to-die-for cupcakes, a family on the run, a death by pipe... There were secrets & surprises at every turn in this one.
My favorite thing about this book was Liner. I adored the way he cared for Linnie & Theo. The lengths he went to protect them & provide them with a comfortable life was so sweet & beautiful. A close second in the favorites department has to be what happened to three of Theo's family members... #thankgods #yougotwhatyoudeservedmofos
I do wish there was a little more detail surrounding the immaculate conception (because it's crazy how much Tara managed to find a donor that looked like Rome) but sometimes less is more, I suppose.
Sad to see this series end but I'm excited to make my way back to the baseball series!

Damn this was a hard book to read. Theo has a HORRIBLE back story. Seriously...BAD. It made this book tough to read....yet at the same time I’m so glad I did. As I read the horribleness of Theo’s life I found myself rooting for her to fine peace and safety. And when she did I enjoyed watching her bloom into the woman she was supposed to be.
Liner was such a fierce, determined and amazing man. Truly a knight in shining armor. He was able to notice things and piece things together when others didn’t. That gigantic brain of his found him the love of his life.
I have to applaud Lani because she doesn’t hold any punches. She takes the story where it needs to go....good....bad....ugly....she’s true to her characters and that’s why I always read her books.

I always wondered about Tara and the author really did a perfect job at show casing her craziness. Oh poor Theo. I loved her so hard and felt for her though the entire book. Liner was seriously the perfect match for her and I couldn’t be happier that these two found their HEA together.
There was a lot of ups and down in this book but the author did an amazing job at bringing to light the good and burying the dark. This book had very few funny moments because in the end it was a book about survival for Theo. It was just a beautiful story that fans of this series will love. 5 stars #2OCCJD
