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.

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.

You want to know a perfect song for this book, Marry Me by Thomas Rhett. Read synopsis and you’ll agree with the lyrics.  Rafe’s loss of six months of memory may be lost, be he knows something huge is hindering to break free in not only his memory, but by others and you know what, Rafe’s Kinda Don’t Care attitude may be a breakthrough or may be the worst decision made and cost him everything.

Janie oh Janie from your background in the prior books, we knew a little background on you and Rafe and holy wow I didn’t realize so many others were aware and on your side. You may be younger, but you definitely know what you want and who you want. She is a tech wiz and over the years her interaction with her dad’s company and Rafe occur, but it’s closed off and forbidden. Rafe is a mystery to us as we saw from prior books and then add into this mystery of this ex-military/tow driver/security thing you do and we want to solve you. While we try to solve you, that coffee table never looked so good holding up some coffee. haha

OK, let me say this there is NO cheating, did I believe LLV when she noted this to us and then again to trust her. Hail NO! I was like what the what and turned back pages and said, “but you said?” while feeling like a little kid as I was saying this and thinking Lani lied to us. Darn you, shocker I should have known the plot twist would make sense. Simply played by Lani and lovin’ it!!

This is one emotional ride, full of suspense and the love can be a slow/fast burn over the story, but so HAWT! This is the first book in the Simple Man series and while you will see that crossovers from prior book and her other series appear in this story, enough background is given if you haven’t read them to understand the other characters portrayed in this story. If you have read her other books, then you will know that these are the characters that held so much mystery and they are finally getting their story! Love seeing the crossovers from Freebirds, Hail Raisers, Dixie Warden cause it makes you miss them a little less. Simple Man was hands downs the way to start off a banging new series of the next generation of kids.
