BLURB
She was enraptured by the man they called Romeo the moment that he turned those butterscotch-colored eyes her way.
What wasn’t to love about a big, burly, plaid-wearing lumberjack?
He was tall, gorgeous, and knew how to wield a chainsaw better than Leatherface. He could fell a tree in seconds, had thighs that were as thick as said trees, filled out a pair of Wranglers better than any cowboy ever, and didn’t care that she could operate heavy machinery better than him.
He was everything a girl like Mable could ask for.
The caveat? He was a convicted felon that’d just escaped from prison, faked his death, and ran from his home in Texas to the mountains of Montana.
At first, Mable didn’t know what kind of man he’d been before coming to her small, mountain town. He led Mable into a false sense of security, made her fall madly, deeply, and irrevocably in love with him, and then shocked her by sharing his darkest secret.
Now, she’s left reeling, thinking life couldn’t get more complicated.
Until she finds out her stepmother knows Romeo’s secret and plans to exploit him. To make matters worse, Romeo goes on the run to protect Mable from himself, and she realizes that she has a dark side, too. One that’ll stop at nothing, not even murder, to make sure that he can live free.

REVIEW
4.5 Stars
This kicks off a new series by Lani Lynn Vale. We do see a few familiar faces to my delight. I read this one in a day and half. The characters had me hooked. Even though Romeo is an ex con how could you resist a man who loves animals. That's another reason I like Vale's characters they live in the grey area and things aren't black and white. As this story goes layer after layer is revealed. It kept me hooked to see where it was going to go. Some really nasty characters in this one, but one in particular needed to meet some justice that's for sure. One thing I loved is in my head as I was reading I couldn't help hoping the shipping I was doing of characters comes to happen because I'm already invested in this unlikely group of ex cons.
COMING SOON
Releasing February 10
