You murder a man, and all of a sudden people are scared of you.
Slate Solis went from being a guy that people went to in times of need to an ex-con that people crossed the street to avoid being too close to.
He knows he’s done wrong, but out of all of his sins, only one really bothers him—coveting thy neighbor’s wife.
Harleigh Belle—the cute little lady that never gives him a second glance.
After seeing her for the first time while he was in prison, she’s stayed on his mind for three long years. Each time she comes in to visit with her friend on family day, he can’t help but stare.
Then the day comes that he’s set free, and he’s almost disappointed that he’ll never see her again. Except fate has different plans.
He hasn’t been back in his house for more than three hours when he sees her.
Harleigh Belle in all her glory…oh, and her husband that is everything Slate isn’t.
He tells himself that her being fifty feet away from him, all day every day, is a complete coincidence. One that he shouldn’t take advantage of. The more time passes, the harder it gets to stay away. Until one day, and one very ill-timed thunderstorm, ruin everything.
Who knew that baby-making-weather was a real thing?
4.5 Stars
I've been eagerly awaiting Slate's story since he
was first introduced in Mess Me Up, and F-Bomb did not disappoint.
Slate and Harleigh complement each other
beautifully. He's a bit of a loner, who craves solitude after serving
time in prison. Although brooding and gruff, he's also kind, caring,
compassionate and loving.
Harleigh is strong, feisty and incredibly
sassy.
The chemistry between this pair is intense and undeniable,
and I loved their back and forth bickering, and argumentative, but also fun and
flirtatious banter.
One of the things I adore about Lani's books is her
ability to make you feel like you are apart of the world her characters
inhabit. I've become addicted to her characters, and love that so many
favourites, both new and old appeared within this storyline.
If you love a suspenseful story of family,
friendship and brotherhood look no further than F-Bomb.
I can't wait to see which character features
next.
