He’s wanted her since he repossessed her car and made her cry.
Baylor Hail knew two things. One, he hated crying females. Two, it was even worse when he was the one to make that female cry.
He never meant to do anything but his job, but when one thing leads to another, suddenly all he can think about is the broken woman whose car he towed.
She’s wanted him since he patted her back and told her it was okay to cry even though she knew he was lying.
Nothing ever goes right for Lark.
Not when she got married. Not when she tried to leave her abusive husband, and not when she arrived in a new town with a fresh, clean slate.
That clean slate came courtesy of a secret organization that specializes in helping abused women find a way out. They set her up with a whole new life. It just turns out that it happened to be right smack dab in the middle of another woman’s old one.
That woman also happens to be down on her luck, something that Lark learns the hard way when on her first day there, her car is towed by a handsome stranger.
It’s been two years since she’s felt any kind of sexual attraction toward a man, and she reacts badly. We’re talking full-on, hysterical breakdown as he loads her car onto his tow truck while looking at her like she’s lost it.
Maybe being crazy isn’t all that bad.
The next thing she knows, she’s spending time with the sexy stranger and life couldn’t be better—even though she still doesn’t have a car.
She thinks she’s in the clear, that she’s got it all figured out… well, that is until her ex-husband finds her again.
Now the ball is in her sexy stranger’s court as he decides whether or not her kind of crazy is worth getting killed over.
Turns out, for Baylor Hail, maybe it is.
4.5 Stars
What the Hail, is the fourth title in the Hail Raisers series, and it's by far my favorite of this series. Lani Lynn Vale has this amazing ability to create quirky, endearing, relate-able, imperfect characters and engaging and unique plot lines.
Lark and Baylor are an incredibly like-able pair, with a chemistry and attraction that is instantaneous and intense, it just draws you into their story. Lark has a past she's desperately trying to put behind her, and has difficulty knowing who to trust. She's complex, endearing, sweet and funny. She's a survivor and portrays a great blend of strength and vulnerability. Baylor is protective, patient, persistent alpha who's not afraid to go after what he wants.
The banter this pair share is fun, flirty, witty and laced with humor filled one liners. Their love scenes are passionate and full of steam, and dirty talk.
Overall What the Hail is a great blend of heat, heart, humor, intrigue and suspense that I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a romantic suspense, or is a fan of Lani's previous titles.
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.
