May Contain Wine by Lani Lynn Vale | Book Review

May. 12, 2020

May Contain Wine by Lani Lynn Vale | Book Review


May Contain Wine by Lani Lynn Vale | Book Reviewfive-stars
May Contain Wine by Lani Lynn Vale
Series: KPD SWAT Generation 2.0 #5
Genres: Romantic Suspense

This is for charity. This is for fun. You are a professional. You can do it.
Those are the words that Calloway Alvarez chants to herself as she watches all the large men gather into the small room where she’ll be doing the interviews for her employer—Hero Magazine.
Honestly, she’s convinced herself that she can’t accomplish the task at hand.
That is until she hears his voice, and her head turns to see him standing there.
Louis Spurlock. Greek god. SWAT officer. Keeper of her secrets. Ultimate fantasy. Man who will break her heart.
***
Louis Spurlock has been playing nice.
He’s been biding his time, giving Calloway the space she thinks she needs.
But then he sees her taking photos of his friends in all states of dress, talking to them all as if they’re best friends, and that little thread of control he’d been managing to hold onto unravels.
Let’s change it up, she says. And the moment the words are out of her mouth, he’s stripping to his skivvies, and throwing out a challenge while he’s at it.
Calloway won’t know what hit her when he’s through playing.
But he does know one thing for sure. When it ends, she’ll be his.

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Calloway and Louis are perfect for one another. They really are! They dated when they were younger but Louis broke up with Calloway before leaving for boot camp. A mistake he knew he had made within minutes of making it. A mistake he has spent years trying to correct. I honestly think they needed the time they spent apart in order to become they couple they would become. I will say that Calloway can hold a grudge, that’s for sure.

This book picks up not long after the previous book but of course as always can be read a lone (what is the fun in that!) A lot happens in this book and the biggest problem I’m having is writing my review without giving any spoilers. Like I want to tell you I didn’t see the crazy person coming. I didn’t expect it to be who it was. The old man in the book is awesome and is Lynn the same Lynn from other books or I am just projecting? Finally, I’m gonna need more information on Beckham (Louis’ sister) and her mystery guy.

Got you interested yet? See, there is so much you are missing by not reading this book. One of the best things about Lani Lynn Vale’s books is that we always get a little look at future couple, Booth and Bourne are in for a wild ride. We also meet characters that we love and want more of like Beckham. This book was no different. It is the perfect addition to this series and of course my current favorite until the next one comes out.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars A bookstore owner stalks an author. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars

A bookstore owner stalks an author.

The author threatens to call the police.

Then actually does.

Somehow this turns into a romance and I loved every minute of it. 😂

Jasmine and River were chaotic, stubborn, funny, and completely perfect together. Their banter carried this entire book for me.

Also, River trusting Jasmine when everyone else was questioning her? That man knew exactly who she was.

I loved how Liza and Cassian slowly became part of each other's everyday lives before romance really took center stage. They were so comfortable together and completely made me smile.

And Alaric's formal complaint? I laughed so hard I nearly spit out my drink. 😂

I cannot wait for the next trip back to Blackthorn Bay!

Bridger was the Rogue Pack wolf I most wanted to k Bridger was the Rogue Pack wolf I most wanted to know more about, and his story absolutely delivered. We've seen glimpses of him throughout the series—always keeping his distance while still showing up when it mattered most. Finally learning the truth behind his past and the loss he carries was heartbreaking.

Kit was not at all who I expected for Bridger, but she ended up being exactly what he needed. Their story felt a little different from the other books in the series, focusing more on healing, guilt, and emotional growth than outside conflict. I actually loved that change of pace.

The Rogue Pack's matchmaking antics had me shaking my head and laughing at the same time, and as always, the pack dynamics were one of my favorite parts of the book.

A sweet, emotional paranormal romance filled with heart, healing, and one grumpy wolf who finally gets the happiness he deserves. 🐺
