She’s in a white dress that dances around her ankles, and her hair tumbles in a long sheet of curls down her back. A veil covers her beautiful eyes, and she smiles directly at him. Janie is everything Rafe’s ever imagined she would be on her wedding day. 

Breathtaking. Gorgeous. Perfect.

The moment he sees her walking down the aisle towards him, he knows that she’s the one.

Then she passes him, making her way to the man she’s to marry.

A man that wasn’t him.

A man that he knows with one hundred percent certainty isn’t good enough for her.

It seems that her father isn’t the only one who’s having a hard time giving her away. Rafe only wishes he knew why.

Everything about Janie sparks protective instincts he doesn’t feel for anyone, not even his own fiancé.

What he feels for the bride, however, isn’t merely a simple attraction. He knows that something is there just beneath the surface…if only he could reach it.

It has to be something huge, too, otherwise he wouldn’t be drinking whiskey straight from the flask in a church pew and wondering how many years he would do in prison if he shot the groom in front of about a hundred witnesses—half of those being cops.

He was good…but not that good.

A near-death experience cost Rafe almost six months of his memory, but right now he can’t help but feel like a huge mistake is being made on both of their parts. One that’s going to cost him everything.

Then she says I do.

Kinda Don’t Care is the first title in the Simple Man series, although it’s a spin off of the Freebirds series, it features character crossover from several of Lani’s previous series including the Freebirds, Hail Raisers and Dixie Wardens MC.

I was intrigued by Kinda Don’t Care as soon as I read the synopsis, and it lead to an intriguing plot. For anyone familiar with the Hail Raisers series, you will be aware of the characters of Janie and Rafe who have appeared briefly in the story line.

Janie is an endearing character, she’s kind of quirky, incredibly intelligent and underestimated my those closest to her.  She’s sweet, funny, and brave, and quite the opposite to the stoic, brooding, loner that is Rafe.

This title is told in a dual point of view, with witty banter that leads to moments of humor that had me laughing out loud. I’m generally not drawn to a story line with an older man, younger woman, but the chemistry between this pair is intense and the sexual tension just oozes from the page.  Their connection is passionate, hot and steamy.

As I’ve come to expect from Ms Vale this title is jam packed full of intrigue, danger and suspense.  This forbidden romance has twists and turns aplenty that kept me completely enthralled.  I will be eagerly anticipating the next title in this series.

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.
