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: adjectiveโ€”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 sheโ€™s being โ€˜irrationally angryโ€™ would be the time that the hottest guy on the continent walked into her place of business dressed in prison orange.

She shouldโ€™ve been afraid.

She shouldโ€™ve taken one look at him and walked the other way.

But, she didnโ€™t.

Crockett Archer, better known as a doormat extraordinaire, didnโ€™t walk away from the people she knew needed her. Sheโ€™d never been able to do it with a father that didnโ€™t love her, and she wouldnโ€™t be able to do it with a man that didnโ€™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 sheโ€™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 sheโ€™s treated by the people that are supposed to love her, and all cognitive thoughts seem to flee his rational brain.

One second, heโ€™s running in the opposite direction. The next, heโ€™s playing her knight in dingy armor.

God help her.

GenPop-teaser3-780x780

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.

Unfortunate Games by Nichole Rose

Her fortune wasn't supposed to be her fate.

Emelia
Drunkenly folding my way into a future with the hottest goalie in the league wasn't how I intended to spend Saturday night, but here we are.

Clearly, my besties should not be in charge of Girl's Night activities.

One cootie catcher later, and Royce Elliot is determined to make this wild prediction a reality.

I'm absolutely not interested. Until I am.

He's supposed to be my client, not the man I can't resist.

But with every touch and every kiss, this feels less like a gameโ€ฆ
and more like forever.

Royce
I know hockey, not how to win over a stubborn, fiercely independent publicist.

But the second I meet Emelia Jรณnsson, I stop caring about shutouts.
I care about her.

She says her fortune teller doesn't mean anythingโ€”that it's just a childish game.
I say fate handed me an opening, and I'm not going to miss my shot.

I didn't expect her to ignite the way she does for me.
And I never imagined Iโ€™d fall this hard, this fast.

She swears this can't happen.
She's wrong.

I'm not backing down until she admits the truth.
We were never just a game.
The two of us were fate.

Tropes include:

๐Ÿ’ Hockey Romance
๐Ÿ’He Falls First
๐Ÿ’ Forced Proximity
๐Ÿ’ Happily Ever After

Rafe Montero keeps his world quiet, controlled, and carefully structured.

As a wounded veteran turned demanding boss, the last thing he wants is a distraction, especially in the form of the bright, chaotic energy of his new employee. Beneath her playful confidence, though, is a woman determined to prove herself โ€” even if her brooding boss keeps pushing her away.

Seraphina is everything Rafe isnโ€™t. Sheโ€™s outgoing where heโ€™s guarded, spontaneous where heโ€™s rigid, and impossible to ignore.

The more they clash in the workplace, the more undeniable the tension becomes. When late nights at the office turn into stolen moments and guarded confessions, Rafe realizes Seraphina might be the one person capable of breaking through the walls he built.

My Wounded Boss is an instalove romance featuring a possessive alpha hero, sizzling chemistry, a fiery heroine, a broody hero, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Meet Mitsi Blunderlockโ€”a witch who graduated from Gloombubble Academy with one rather unfortunate problem: she can't fly.

After one spectacular crash leaves her with a crooked nose and a healthy respect for gravity, Mitsi decides that perhaps the sky isn't where she's meant to be. When a mysterious message in her tea leaves tells her to "GO. NOW.", she heads to the charming town of Marivell in a magical pumpkin carriage built by her inventor father.

What follows sounds like the kind of cozy fantasy adventure I absolutely love: a witch finding her place in the world, a town full of quirky magical characters, a distinguished werewolf, eccentric harpies, an opossum baker, and a whole lot of heart.

Sometimes the strongest magic isn't found in spells at allโ€”it's found in helping others and building a community.

I can't wait to spend time in Marivell and share my thoughts when the time comes!

Would you read a cozy fantasy about a witch who starts a magical cab company? Because I am already completely sold. ๐Ÿ“šโœจ

Surviving was easy. Trusting the man who's been watching over her all along โ€” that's the hard part.
 
Serena has survived worse than bad men and broken promises. When danger comes for her and her daughter, survival is no longer something she can manage on her own.
 
Enzo Lombardi is a made man. Power, loyalty, and violence built his world, and once he decides Serena is worth protecting, there is no walking away. What begins as safety quickly turns into temptation neither of them can ignore, along with a connection Enzo has been quietly cultivating for far longer than she realizes.
 
In Enzo's world, threats are answered with blood and loyalty is absolute. Loving him means stepping into the shadows and trusting that he will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
 
Tailored for You is a romantic suspense, mafia romance, with an HEA.
