Jokes On You - Lani Lynn Vale



JOKE’S ON YOU
By Lani Lynn Vale
Release Date: June 9


 
Booth Pena definitely didn’t make the smartest of decisions when he was a teenager.
At eighteen, he knocked a girl up and signed up for the military all in the same day—signing his life away in more ways than one. Fast forward six weeks and he’s in bootcamp learning that he’s going to be a father while also learning that not only is he going to be deployed, but it’s going to stay that way for a year.
There weren’t a lot of things that the baby’s mother and he saw eye to eye on after that. He honestly wasn’t sure why he even slept with her in the first place.
Okay, that last part is a lie. He knows exactly why he slept with her. Because the real woman he’s in love with, her twin sister, Dillan, won’t give him the time of day.
Five years later, and he still wants her.
Now he’s home for good, being the best father and police officer that he can be, and still he’s not good enough.
***
Dillan Davidsdottir hated Booth Pena. Immensely.
She hated him because he slept with her sister, then left. Granted, she knew that he hadn’t meant to leave like he did, unknowingly and unconsciously leaving his son behind, but that didn’t change the fact that he had.
Five years later, and she still dislikes him just as much now as she did when he chose the wrong sister to take to his bed.
Maybe if he’d chosen her, her heart wouldn’t be broken, and his wouldn’t be untouchable.
But when a SWAT officer sees his life flash before his eyes, and decides that enough is enough, what’s a girl to do?
Give in, that’s what.

Jokes on You is the sixth title in the SWAT Generations 2.0 series, featuring Booth Pena and Dillan Davisdottir.  Booth Pena is the son of Nico and Georgia who were featured in Double Tap.
Booth and Delanie have a child after on night together.   There are quite a few questions surrounding the night of Asa’s conception as neither party recalls the events of the night.
To make matters more complicated Booth is inexplicably drawn to Delaine’s twin sister Dillan, and has had feelings for her since his teenage years.
This title is a complicated, suspenseful and dramatic story full of twists and turns.  I honestly wasn’t sure how I would feel about this quadrilateral relationship, but Dillan is difficult not to like.  She’s kind, caring, sassy, and strong willed, but also compassionate.  Booth is a hard working single father who dotes on his young son, and is not afraid to go after what he wants.
At times I did struggle to keep it straight in my head of who was who and who was attracted to who.  Their name being Booth and Bourne and Delanie and Dillan did make it difficult at times to keep up. 
Now that I’ve read Booth and Dillan’s story, I’m looking forward to Delanie and Bourne's.
