Maybe Don't Wanna by Lani Lynn Vale
Title: Maybe Don't Wanna
Series: The Simple Man Series #2
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Romance Suspense
Release Date: May 4, 2018
Peter Parker Penn.
Unlike the superhero his mother named him after, Parker is no good guy.
In fact, if there’s a picture in the dictionary under anti-hero, it’s his.
Parker’s spent his life trying to get back on the right side of the tracks, but each step he takes forward, he takes two more steps back.
To save one, he hurts others. To make this good, he turns that bad.
For appearances’ sake, he plays the part. He does what people expect him to do—mostly. And at the end of each day, he goes back to his lonely apartment and wishes he was a different person. One who could fix the things he’s broken.
Then Kayla Nash forces her way into his life, and the world as he knows it is irrevocably changed.
Everything he thinks he has right is wrong. And everything he thinks is wrong is oh, so right.
One thing leads to another, and suddenly he’s growing a conscience, and trying to prove to her that he’s as bad as everybody says he is.
Yet she won’t listen.
She’s convinced that she can save him.
Little does she know, Parker isn’t worth saving, and never will be.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Here's
the thing with books by Lani Lynn Vale - i constantly find myself at a
crossroad when i pick up one of her books. Why? Because each time, i
have to debate whether or not i want to sleep a full 8 hours or if i can
live off the measly 2, maybe 3 hours i'll get if i read the entire book
in one sitting (which happens more often than not).
That
was my biggest dilemma when i started Maybe Don't Wanna. I mean, i've
read the previous book in this new series, Kinda Dn't Care which was
Rafe and Janie's story, so i had an idea already of the type of person
that Kayla was - yet it just didn't give her justice. This woman is
crazy! In a totally good way. She's hilarious. Loyal. Fierce. And has
this uncontrollable need to poke holes! I mean, who does that?! *bursts
out laughing uncontrollably*
The
chemistry that exists between Kayla and Peter Parker is undeniable -
it's hot. It's intense. And it's really captivating. From the very
beginning i was rooting for these two because they just make one another
better. They complete each other in ways that i doubt they knew would
have been possible.
While
the underlying back story (of a serial killer) wasn't as pronounced as i
would have seen in previous books from this author, i liked how we got
to know more about these two, how a service dog who went through the
worst kind of torture was able to come to trust another human being and
want to protect her. But most of all, i did enjoy how Lani Lynn Vale
went beyond just the original story and gave readers a glimpse of years
later and what happens to this couple.
I
really did enjoy this book - so far i haven't really found a book that i
didn't like or enjoy written by Lani Lynn Vale, and one thing truly is
certain - i can't wait for her next book!
