Talkin' Trash - Lani Lynn Vale - Release Blitz & Review






TALKIN’ TRASH
BEAR BOTTOM MC Series – Book 2
BY Lani Lynn Vale
RELEASE DAY – OCT 2
 
Linc has two very important things on his mind—professional football and his motorcycle club.

What he does not have on his mind is the woman that drives him crazy and makes him want to do stupid things, like throw caution to the wind.

Nope, not Linc.

At least, that’s the lie he tells everyone.

In reality, every time Conleigh’s name is mentioned, he squirms.

She’s everything that he wants, wrapped up in a cute little package that is stamped ‘hands freakin’ off.’

She’s four years younger than him, in school to be a doctor, and thinks football is stupid.

Even more, Linc and Conleigh get along like oil and water.

There’s not a single second that they’re in each other’s presence that they’re not at each other’s throats.

But all it takes is hearing that she’s in trouble for Linc to drop every single thing—football and MC duties alike—and head to her side.

A side that he’ll remain at until they either kill each other, or finally give into the heat between them.

Either way you look at it, he’s well and truly screwed.






4.5 Stars

Ever since the cover and blurb were revealed for Talkin’ Trash I have been eagerly anticipating Linc and Conleigh’s story. I thoroughly enjoyed the second title in the Bear Bottom Guardians MC.

Linc captivated my interest when we were first introduced to his character in his father’s book The Beard Made Me Do It. A professional football player, but he’s not your typical wealthy, bad-boy with women at his beck and call. His heart belongs to Conleigh, and he will do anything to win her heart.

Conleigh is four years Linc’s junior. She’s strong, sassy, independent and hard working. Her life has structure, and is uncomplicated. She’s incredibly driven as she never wants to be poverty stricken like she endured as a teen.

This storyline is engaging, fun, believable and full of heat, heart and steam. I did think there were a few gaps in the plot. Considering his close and strong relationship with his family I was surprised that we didn’t see Ellen and Linc’s sisters Lydia and Laura appear in the storyline. There were also snippets of information revealed that was mentioned several times, but seemed to be unresolved.

The characters are well developed, realistic, relatable and dynamic. The banter they share is fun, flirtatious and full of the humour that is synonymous with Lani’s work. The chemistry between Linc and Conleigh is undeniable, passionate and raw. They had an intense connection right from their very first meeting in Law and Beard, but Linc respected the wishes of their parents and kept his distance.

This title is full of twists and turns, with several characters showing up who have appeared in previous titles. I was surprised by the inclusion of one character in particular, and look forward to discovering more of their story in future titles.

Overall this story had everything I enjoy in an MC romance with action, intrigue, suspense, heat, heart and humour.
