Rattle Some Cages by Lani Lynn Vale | Book Review

Rattle Some Cages by Lani Lynn Vale
Series: Battle Crows MC #3
Genres: MC Romance

It’s not every day that you see a dead body at the beach. Or the woman of your dreams sitting next to that dead body.
Price Crow first saw Sabrina Proctor in the middle of a hurricane.

She’d been sitting next to her dead best friend, who’d passed away on the beach, with no way to get her back home, thanks to the world’s worst luck, and one hell of a storm.

So Price does what any decent person would do: he carries Sabrina’s dead best friend to their beach house and doesn’t leave her side until he’s forced to.

He had every intention of bridging that gap, of checking up on her and making sure she was okay, but life is funny and has a way of making a mockery of the best-laid plans.

Despite one hell of a connection, under the worst of circumstances, they go their separate ways. At least, he tries to. But he can’t stop thinking about her, and it becomes apparent, very fast, that he has a decision to make.

Choose Sabrina, or live out the rest of his life making everyone else around him happy except for himself.

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.

This one will hit you in the feelings right away. After breaking up with her weirdo fiancé (and this is saying a lot considering our heroine is both a bit quirky and socially awkward), Sabrina helps her best friend fulfill her dying wish to visit the beach. She ends up on the beach in the middle of a hurricane, unable to move her friend to safety.

Of course, it would just so happen that Price’s family is just as crazy and booked the house next door in the middle of a hurricane as well. He sees Sabrina struggling and goes to help her. I mean, talk about being her white knight in motorcycle boots! Price (or Shine, as he called him) and she had an instant connection. One that neither of them can explain, but it’s just there.

However, when Price’s sister Cannel makes it clear that she doesn’t like Sabrina, he drops her. I will say that I got really angry with Cannel over this at times in the book. That being said, I do understand and if you haven’t read her book, it’s okay. Enough backstory is explained that you will understand what is going on and why she feels this way about Sabrina. 

Sabrina doesn’t understand why he won’t talk to her and acts as though he doesn’t know her, but she is trying to move on with her life. It’s not easy considering they live in the same town. On top of that, she is dealing with that weird ex who is causing all sorts of problems for her. Price, though, wouldn’t be Price if he just walked away without a backwards glance. Let’s face it, we wouldn’t like him if he did. Nope, he is quietly in the background, doing his best to make things better for Sabrina, knowing he can never have anything with her.

When he finally grew a pair and decided that he was going to have a relationship with Sabrina, I wanted to shout from the rooftops. Sabrina didn’t do anything to make Cannel feel the way she did, and Cannel needed to face her fears over what happened. When Price and Sabrina finally came back together, it was explosive because there was such a buildup. 

Of course, we get to see some of the other MC members in this one, and Hunt from Souls Chapel Revenants MC makes an appearance. We also meet Banger, who will be featured in a future book. I can’t wait to see what is next for this amazing family and MC.

Family Connections

Hero’s Family:  Sister, Cannel from Chalk Dirty to Me Brothers who are members of the Battle Crows MC as is his parents, Derringer and Reedy. The brother’s books are all a part of this series.

Heroine’s Family: Her father is a doctor who works with one of Shine’s brothers.

The closer I got to where the woman was, the more the wind and the lightning started to pick up.
  By the time I was close enough to see that there wasn’t just one person, but two, the lightning was hitting so close that it was making even me nervous.
  At first, I thought the woman in the raft shaped like a boat was drunk—I mean, why else would she have lain so fuckin’ weird with her toes in the sand and her head tilted backward toward the now light rain?
  But the closer I got, the more I realized that that woman inside the raft was deathly still.
  And the woman with the red hair was crying hard.
  So hard, in fact, that she reminded me of someone over a thousand miles away… someone that’d been crying like that when…

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. 🐺

Blurb: I should’ve worn underwear that day. 

I’d have far less hate mail in my inbox. I’d also still have a job. 
 
But I didn’t wear underwear. And I had a wardrobe malfunction on a livestream. 
 
So now I’m the proud owner of the internet’s most famous… you know. 
 
The good news? I’ve been invited to hide from my sudden infamy at a closed winery with other women who’ve suffered their own five minutes of shame. 
 
The bad news? The winery has a live-in handyman. 
 
A competent, compassionate, patient, sexy, single dad handyman. 
 
Whom I met when I punched him in the face. 
 
Accidentally, of course. But I still get why he’s happy keeping his distance from me. 
 
But when we find out the winery that’s saving my life is in danger of foreclosure, he and I become accidental partners. 
 
No big deal, working with a guy that I’m falling harder for each day. 
 
I’m already the internet’s favorite punching bag. Why not add an unrequited crush to my life? 
 
But what if it’s not unrequited after all? 
 
From USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author Pippa Grant comes a funny, heartwarming, swoony romance perfect for readers who love protective book boyfriends, found sisterhoods, slow burns, epically awkward meet-cutes, and love conquering all. 
 
Content note: This book contains toxic family and references to bullying, suicide, abuse, and the off-page cancer death of the hero’s first wife several years before the story begins.

Bring an author to work day just got spicy.

River
I moved to Santa Maria for peace and quiet.
Not for a saucy little bookworm determined to ruin both.
But Jasmine Knudsen is the most infuriatingly stubborn woman I've ever met.
Everywhere I go, she's there, refusing to take no for an answer.
She might be winning because I've never wanted anything the way I want her.
But she isn't interested in being caught…until I don't leave her a choice.
Now, we aren't playing her game. We're playing mine.
And when a future with her is on the line?
There's nothing I won't do to win.

Jasmine
I read smut, and I know things. It's what I do.
What I don't do is back down.
So when local romance author, River "I'm Too Good for Your Book Club" Jamison, refuses to come speak, I declare war.
He thought I was kidding when I swore to annoy him until he agreed.
I wasn't.
I thought he was joking when he threatened to have me arrested.
Turns out, the big grump wasn't kidding, either.
Now, he's refusing to drop the charges unless I go out with him.
And I must be losing it because I'm not saying no.
But I did not expect to become the main suspect when his latest manuscript goes missing.
Which means I might end up right back in jail.
Only this time, it's not just my freedom at stake.
It's my heart, too.
