Release Date: August 8, 2018

Tyler Cree has never been good at the whole look and don’t touch thing.

From the moment he was old enough to walk on his own two feet, he’s been looking for trouble.

Trouble comes in many forms…quite a few of those forms being the female persuasion.

Tyler knows what girls want—a bad boy. And he has the bad boy image down pat.

Ex-military—check.

Hot cop—double check.

A bike between his legs and a devil may care attitude—oh, yeah.

All the girls want him, yet none of them will have him—at least not all of him, anyway. A certain appendage they can have all they want. His heart, however, is not up for grabs. The useless organ inside his chest was broken and battered, mutilated by the one woman he thought would keep it safe.

Spoiler alert: she ripped it to shreds and set fire to the pieces.

To protect himself, Tyler keeps everyone at arm’s length, and never lets anyone get too close.

Then Reagan Rose Alvarez barrels into his life, and trespasses on not only his property, but straight into his abused heart. One glance is all it takes, and he’s suddenly thinking about things he hasn’t thought for quite some time—thoughts that a man like him should never have about a woman like her.

One moment of weakness is all it takes, and suddenly he has no other choice but to go on the offensive.

Keeping her is the only other option now.

Turns out, his heart isn’t as broken as he thought it was.

The only problem is, now the little she-devil holds it in the palm of her hands, and she has no clue just how much power she holds.

 

I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 9, 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.

HOSTED BY:

Too Bad So Sad is book 5 in the Simple Man series, but each book can be read as a standalone. Tyler and Reagan couldn’t be more opposite of each other and that includes him being the hot cop and her love of breaking the law. It’s hilarious that his OCD cleans it up and leaves no trace! Too funny that even his friends called it. Not saying what it was though to avoid spoilers, but it is funny. Let’s face the facts whether it was trespassing that brought these two face to face or their friends it was bound for them to meet when it comes to the nut clan as I call them. I love seeing the secondary characters in the story and their bantering is never dull or seeing characters from another series pop in. I was almost sad to see this series end, but Lani made me and I’m sure others happy with what’s next in her writing. We got the laughter, the suspense and the chemistry that we all love and expect from our go to author. Will the she-devil show this Simple Man that the organ isn’t broken? Read the book to find out. You will not be disappointed.
