Series: Hail Raisers #1

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release: September 27, 2017

Evander Lennox doesn’t do anything he doesn’t want to do. At least, that is, until he’s sent to prison. The four years he’s incarcerated, he’s had no choice but to do the things that he’s asked to do, when he’s asked to do them. And now, if he doesn’t, it will mean a one-way ticket straight back to hell.

Once he’s free, it takes him twenty-four hours to get his old job back, his dog at home where he belongs, and an understanding that people aren’t as forgiving as he once thought them to be. He’s just about given up hope of ever integrating back into society when a woman slams into his heart, literally and figuratively.  *** Kennedy Swallow just wants to belong somewhere. When she was younger, her parents divorced, and chose to separate her from her twin. Fast forward fifteen years, and she’s finally getting to meet the family she’s always wanted to be a part of. To make that happen, she uproots her life and moves to the tiny town of Hostel, Texas—giving her almost everything she’s ever wanted. Just when she thinks she’s making progress in winning her family over, she finds out that her twin is ill, and the only reason her family tolerates her is due to the convenience of having a free caretaker whenever they might be in need of one. After a few eye-opening experiences, she quickly realizes that she’s being used. Vowing to herself that she’ll make the best of the situation, she begins to steel her heart. What she doesn’t prepare for is a man named Evander who sees that barrier as a challenge. *** It takes Evander all of ten seconds while watching the woman on the floor, bleeding from her jaw, to realize that maybe life isn’t as bad as it could be. This woman with her thrill for life, a crazy obsession with chickens, and a desire to be wanted, changes everything he thinks he knows. But it doesn’t take long for him to realize that just by being around her, the people of the town have judged her guilty by association. Her business suffers, and soon after, she realizes what it will mean to have him by her side—the loss of everything she’s worked so hard for. Kennedy knows that Evander is worth it. Evander, however, decides that he’s not letting another person get hurt because he was stupid enough to care.

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review

When you read the dedication for a book and find that it's been dedicated to chickens....you know! You just know!

I'm trying to figure out if this author is writing more deeply emotionally charged books or if I'm just becoming weak; it has to be the first option. But seriously, I think I cried through half of this book!! If it wasn't for what Kennedy's sister was dealing with, it was how everyone was treating Kennedy. Or Evander and his past. Or them damn chickens!! 

Evander (or as I was reading in my head through most of the book, E-vader) did a stint in prison for a crime he didn't commit. So now that he's out you can place a sure bet that he wants his pound of flesh. Kennedy, who was dealt a rather bad hand from the genetic deck of cards at birth just wants some normalcy and sense of family in her life. But family doesn't always play nice together. So instead she sets her sights on Evander and all that is broken with him to find the closeness she craves. I'm not going to get into details about the storyline because I'm sure if you're this far you've already read the blurb about the book and it's intrigued you. Let it continue to intrigue you. To the point of purchasing it. I liked it a lot. Even through the tears :'(

I rate it 5 chickens!! (Buy the book; you'll understand)

I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 5, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
