Forget That Guy by Lani Lynn Vale Book Review

Forget That Guy by Lani Lynn Vale | Book Review

May. 12, 2026

From the very first chapter, I was completely invested in Holly’s story and everything she was forced to endure. Holly is one of those heroines who immediately makes you root for her. After being abandoned by her mother as a child, her…

First, Birdee I loved way more than I thought I would. In the previous book she left me not really caring about her one way or another. In this one I was rooting for her all the way. In fact, when Creed gets all peeved with her I was ready to jump through the pages…

House of BS & Lies by Lani Lynn Vale | Book Review

Jan. 13, 2026

This book was everything I love about Lani Lynn Vale wrapped up in one irresistible story. Romeo and Mable completely stole my heart. From their very first meeting, there’s an undeniable pull between them—curiosity, attraction, and a sense that the other gets it in a way most people don’t. Both are carrying the weight of…

Calliope is Searcy’s sister from Look at Her and Die and I will say that she was a bit of a brat in that book. I wasn’t crazy about her. However, she was young then and has since grownup. Life has been unfair and hard for her however, I think she has come out stronger…

Nov. 04, 2025

From the first page, I knew this book would wreck me in the best possible way. It’s deeply emotional, breathtakingly romantic, and layered with that signature Lani Lynn Vale mix of grit, heart, and humor. This is the kind of story that stays with you long after you’ve turned the last page. The main character—who’s…

Sep. 09, 2025

By chapter four I was in tears. If there was ever a book where you need to have your tissues ready then this is the one. Then I read chapter four and all I could think was “you sneaky devil you Lani Lynn Vale!” Then I kept reading and things got better and better. A…

Other Woman Drama by Lani Lynn Vale | Book Review

Aug. 12, 2025

There is plenty of drama in this one and while it is a bit of a slow burn it is more than worth it. Piers wanted to get to know Silver but something prevented that from happening. He is a great leader and does right by his MC. He has a teen daughter who he…

Holly Lorena Cain, formerly known as Georgina Lorena Cain, was well acquainted with rock bottom. She’s coasted along its rocky shores for years. It all started when her mother left her when she was barely old enough to understand. For years, her and her dad struggled to make ends meet. A dying cattle farm can’t run itself, and with her dad having cancer, it got harder and harder to hang on to land that’s been in her family for generations.

Just as she thinks that she’s finally made it, her father passes away and leaves every single thing he owns to their neighbor. The man that’d been worming his way into her father’s good graces while she’d been away pursuing higher education.

But she can’t be mad.

Being mad would mean that she has a soul left, but she sold that a long time ago to pay for college.

Once she comes to terms with her father and the land being gone, she moves back to Bear Pass and with one thing on her mind—avoid Denver at all costs. He can never know just how much it hurt that he stole her life away from her.

Only, he makes it impossibly hard to stay away.

He’s there around every corner. He offers her a place to stay. Makes sure she has a place to work. Fixes her car. Saves her from a kidnapper. Oh, and gives her everything her heart desires.

She stays away as best as she can, but she doesn’t stand a chance against Denver’s determination and charm. He’s there when no one else is, peeling her off the floor and propping her back up again each time she falls.

The gruff motorcycle club president with his scary glares and harsh work ethic has decided to make her his, and he won’t stand for her refusal.

He’s been protecting her for her entire life, and she doesn’t even know it.

He won’t stop now, even if she’s bound and determined to stay away.
