Gen Pop by Lani Lynn Vale | Book Review

Aug. 10, 2021

Gen Pop by Lani Lynn Vale | Book Review

Get ready to meet Zach and Crockett who are so hot together it will curl your toes. That is if you can manage to not punch a member of her family in the face. It's not easy, trust me.

Gen Pop by Lani Lynn Vale | Book Reviewfive-stars
Gen Pop by Lani Lynn Vale
Series: Souls Chapel Revenants MC #6
Genres: MC Romance

Hangry: adjective—feeling irritable or irrationally angry as a result of being hungry.

Sometimes, Crockett felt that in her soul.

And, of course, the one time that she’s being ‘irrationally angry’ would be the time that the hottest guy on the continent walked into her place of business dressed in prison orange.

She should’ve been afraid.

She should’ve taken one look at him and walked the other way.

But, she didn’t.

Crockett Archer, better known as a doormat extraordinaire, didn’t walk away from the people she knew needed her. She’d never been able to do it with a father that didn’t love her, and she wouldn’t be able to do it with a man that didn’t think he deserved a chance at love.

One look is all it takes for Zach Caruso to know that Crockett could be his.

All he would have to do is snap his fingers, and she’d fall right into the palm of his hand.

Which is why Zach turns around and walks far, far away.

He tries not to look back.

He tries to leave her be.

But then he sees how she’s treated by the people that are supposed to love her, and all cognitive thoughts seem to flee his rational brain.

One second, he’s running in the opposite direction. The next, he’s playing her knight in dingy armor.

God help her.

I’ve been waiting for Zach’s story ever since he shoved that piece of glass in that dude’s heart. Got your attention right? It did mine the moment the nurse said ” Dr. Caruso, what did you do?” way back in Nobody Knows.

That sent Zach to prison for killing the guy who almost killed his girlfriend. Although if you read Nobody Knows , the guy deserved it. That left a mark on Zach. One that he thinks changed him completely. However to those who know and love him, what he did made perfect sense. It is exactly who he is.

Crockett we met from the beginning of this series. She runs a little restaurant/convenience store along sider her grandfather. Who is a hoot, by the way! Crockett is also a bit of a doormat. She just takes whatever her family dishes out. They are awful too. That is until Zach begins putting them in their places.

Together Crockett and Zach are perfect! They both fill whatever hole was missing in the other. This was a great read! I loved watching Zach dance around Crockett and try to deny his feelings. While also getting a chance to catch up with some familiar faces.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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. 🐺
