Say It Ain’t So
Lani Lynn Vale
Release Date: September 8, 2020
He
should’ve never left his house. He should’ve stayed at home. He has a
legitimate excuse—he’s running a fever and he’s fairly sure he’s developing
pneumonia. He should have called in sick…but he doesn’t.
He
goes to work, because his team is relying on him.
First,
he has to sign about eight thousand calendars—all from women who purchased said
calendars to benefit the Fallen Officer fundraiser. And when he’s done with that,
he has to endure a television interview along with the rest of the SWAT team
seeing as they made national news with their ‘Hot SWAT’ calendar that’s sold a
million copies to women all over the world.
Needless
to say, when Samuel Adams walks into the pharmacy hours later, he only has one
thing on his mind. Ibuprofen.
Sadly,
he never gets to the Ibuprofen. Mostly because before he gets there, he finds a
junkie waving a gun around threatening to kill anybody that moves.
He’s
running a fever. That has to be the reason that the girl in the corner begins
cursing up a storm and drawing the junkie’s attention. Has to be.
***
Stop
it, stop it, stop it!
She
tells herself to take a deep breath. Tells herself that she needs to calm down.
Tells herself that if she doesn’t get her act under control, things are going
to get ugly.
And,
of course, that’s when the curse words start flying.
The
more nervous she gets, the worse her Tourette’s becomes. Which is, of course,
why she stands up and gives the man a perfect target.
Thank
God that the coughing giant in the corner makes the same move and saves her
life.
And
how does she repay him? By calling him every awful word in the dictionary.
Thank
you, Tourette’s.
Say It Ain’t So is the ninth title
in the Swat Generations 2.0 series, and I would say it’s my favorite to
date. Sammy and Hastings story is and
emotional romantic suspense, with strong themes of family and friendship.
I loved Sammy’s parents story in
Execution Style so I was eager to read his story and it didn’t disappoint. Sammy is a sweet, charming, protective and confident
alpha, who is not afraid to admit his mistakes.
I love that his acceptance of Hastings quirks and all.
Hastings hasn’t had an easy life
which has left her quite guarded.
Despite the fact that she has Tourette’s, and struggles with her self-confidence
she is quite fierce and sassy. I love
that she wasn’t perfect, and could be a tad awkward at times, it just made for
a more realistic and relatable heroine.
Sammy and Hasting’s meet cute was
quite unexpected and unique. They have
an instant connection and undeniable chemistry.
I liked that there was time between their introduction and when they
begin a relationship, it felt more realistic than some of the previous titles.
The banter this pair shares is quite
fun and flirtatious.
There are moments in this book that
are sure to pull at your heartstrings. I
felt heartbroken for Hastings, but loved how Lani Lynn Vale tied everything
together in the end. I will be eagerly
awaiting her next release.
