Gen Pop - Lani Lynn Vale

 

Hangry: adjective—feeling irritable or irrationally angry as a result of being hungry.

Sometimes, Crockett felt that in her soul.

 

And, of course, the one time that she’s being ‘irrationally angry’ would be the time that the hottest guy on the continent walked into her place of business dressed in prison orange.

 

She should’ve been afraid.

 

She should’ve taken one look at him and walked the other way.

 

But, she didn’t.

 

Crockett Archer, better known as a doormat extraordinaire, didn’t walk away from the people she knew needed her. She’d never been able to do it with a father that didn’t love her, and she wouldn’t be able to do it with a man that didn’t think he deserved a chance at love.

 

One look is all it takes for Zach Caruso to know that Crockett could be his.

 

All he would have to do is snap his fingers, and she’d fall right into the palm of his hand.

 

Which is why Zach turns around and walks far, far away.

 

He tries not to look back.

 

He tries to leave her be.

 

But then he sees how she’s treated by the people that are supposed to love her, and all cognitive thoughts seem to flee his rational brain.

 

One second, he’s running in the opposite direction. The next, he’s playing her knight in dingy armor.

 

God help her.

I’ve been eager for Zach’s story since he appeared in Ford and Ashe’s story, Maybe Swearing Will Help.  This title is the is the sixth addition to the Souls Chapel Revenants series, and I highly recommend reading the books in order.

Crockett is kind and compassionate, but it’s her downfall as her family walk all over her, abusing her at any opportunity.  Despite their actions she’s resilient, strong, sassy and completely endearing.

Zach is a former doctor who has just been released from prison, he’s a stoic, protective, loving, and sexy alpha.

The banter between this pair is witty, flirtatious, and fun, but also antagonistic at times.  The sexual tension between this pair oozes from the page.  Much like all of Lani Lynn Vale’s books, there were plenty of laugh out loud moments, blended with drama in this sweet, slow burn romance.

I adored the cameos from previous characters that have appeared in various books and series’ but in particular Cleo and Rue, Zach’s parents who’s story was told in Life to My Flight.

I look forward to the next addition to this engaging and entertaining series.
