The Voices are Back by Lani Lynn Vale

Genres: MC Romance

Her: Just a word, yet one person came to mind.

Morrigan St. Pete.

The woman that’d been hounding my every step since the day she was born. From the moment we first comforted each other in the hospital, to the day that I left her to follow her dreams, I knew that she was my one.

Through marriage, divorce, and a prison sentence, I had low expectations when it came to her ever coming around to my way of life. What kind of woman wanted a man that’d been to prison, had a child that disliked him and everything he stood for, and had zero prospects in life?

But then she popped into my life again, and that feeling of suffocation slacked off for the first
time since I let her go.

***

The first time I tried to come back to Aodhan, I found him married with a kid on the way.

The second time I tried, he was heading to jail.

As one would say, the third time is the charm, right? Wrong.

The third time, he was divorced, fresh from prison, had a kid, and was again with his ex-wife.

That was the final nail in my coffin. I decided to give up.

I would do anything and everything I could to avoid him. Hiding wasn’t beneath me.​
I only wish he’d stuck with my plan, because the moment he sees me again, it’s like he’s seen the light. Avoiding him is impossible when he goes out of his way to insinuate himself into every
aspect of my life.

If only life was as perfect as my dreams.

Review

I have wanted to know more about Aodhan for a while now and I can say I was worried because like everyone else I thought he was getting back with his ex wife. He was more than a bit of a mystery. I mean we knew more about him in the very first book than any of the other guys except Wake. He is Wake’s ex-brother-in-law and the father of his nephew. Now that we have learned about Morrigan, his one, I will tell y’all that they are the cutest couple ever!

I will say that their story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. These two have known each other since they were kids. They were best friends but Aodhan let Morrigan go after college to pursue her dream. It is a choice that he has regretted every single day since it happened. However, he felt it was necessary for her to live out her dream.

For Morrigan her dream became a nightmare and she wasn’t able to pursue it. Yet, she couldn’t return to Adohan either. When she came back he was married with a kid on the way. Then he was in prison. Finally she has come back to town but is doing her best to avoid him and his ex-wife. 

I love that Morrigan has a disorder that I hadn’t seen in books and will say I loved that. I love that LLV isn’t afraid to make her characters real. This disorder has caused her so much pain throughout her life. I also love that Adohan takes it in stride when he finally finds out she is back. 

The chemistry, friendship, and love that these two have just oozes off the pages. These are two people who met and fell in love as young children and nothing has changed that. Regardless of much they have both tried to move on. They are each other’s one.

As always the other guys are wonderful whenever they are in a scene. However, Folsom steals the scenes whenever she is in one. I really want her to get her own book. No one seems to know how to take her. She does what she wants and I mean I love that she just takes over someone’s phone or the bluetooth in someone’s car. Honestly, if you read the book for no other reason, read it for her.

The first time I met her was in a hospital bed. The second time was eight years later in elementary school.

She’d stolen my lunch box because she thought it was hers, and had eaten half the sandwich before I’d corrected her and taken it back.

She’d shared her actual sandwich with me, since she’d eaten half of mine, and from that moment forward, we were inseparable.

For the next ten years, she was a constant for me.

She was my best friend, confidant, and ultimately the one and only person that I could count on forever.

The only problem was, she had a dream.

One that would lead her out of this small town, and into something big.

So the day we graduated college, we agreed that we would go our separate ways. And, if by the age of thirty, if we were still alone, we would make our way back to each other.

But life was funny. It never, ever worked out like we had planned.
