Freak Show by Lani Lynn Vale
Series: Welcome to the Circus #2
Genres: Romantic Suspense
Slone Day, defensive end for the Longview professional football team, has a lot on his plate.
He’s at the peak of his career, he’s a single father raising a girl that’s border line genius and can’t seem to find the time to date. Let alone see someone seriously.
He’s perfectly content living his life as it is.
Then he goes to a circus.
There, he meets a woman that literally takes his breath away.
And in one bold, crazy, this is probably going to backfire move, he not only asks the woman out. But he invites her to spend the next two weeks with him while she’s recovering from an incident.
***
There she is, a practical invalid who can’t go anywhere without being babysat, experiencing a crisis in the middle of a public setting, when she spots him.
The moment that Caristonia Singh meets Slone, she realizes her life is about to change.
Meeting men when you work in a circus is practically impossible. That’s why she’s the inexperienced girl that doesn’t know how to act around a hot guy.
A really big, really sexy, holy crap he could toss me over his head and make it look easy, guy.
From the moment he comes to her defense—family can be dicks sometimes—she starts falling.
But nothing good ever lasts when it comes to the circus life.
People come and go. No one ever stays.
But Slone is dead set on proving her wrong, but she’s learned firsthand that nothing good ever lasts.

Book Review
When I first began this book I wasn’t sure I was going to like it at all. I loved the entire Singh family in the first book. However, in this one we really saw how siblings are with one another. They weren’t very nice to Toni at times. I mean even Slone got irritated by them.
Let me back up a little though. We first met Slone way back in Ask Me if I Care when he is in high school. We learn more about him as he becomes friends with Banner in Something About that Boy. He’s a single parent and while we learn what happened to make him that way in the previously mentioned books you get a fuller story. He is a great guy and plays professional football. I love that him and Titus have stayed friends with Banner.
Caristonia is a sister in the Singh Circus and is the twin to Hades. She works with the big cats and we find out why in this book. She hates her job and her family isn’t always nice to her. Oh and she has a stalker. I mean could anything get worse for the poor girl? Don’t ask honestly because it can but then Slone offers her a chance to get away from her family and spend some time together. No pressure, nothing.
The chemistry for these two was burning up the pages. I love them together and that we get to see some of the Dixie Wardens here. Now, I said I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this book. That is because of how Toni is treated. I can’t believe how much her brother has allowed Hades to get away with. I honestly didn’t like Hades in the beginning of this. I won’t say she redeemed herself in the end either because there is a whole story there.
