Title: Mess Me Up

Series: Bear Bottom Guardians MC #1

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: September 6, 2018

When Rome Pierce moved to Bear Bottom, Texas, it was his intention to lay low. To not be seen. To find a way to heal his body and soul—as well as his son’s.

Nobody would know by looking at him that he used to play professional football. Not with the Bare Bottom MC cut covering his back, and definitely not with his friendly smile completely obliterated.

No longer is there charm in each smooth word that comes out of his mouth. What’s left is an angry, bitter, scared man that’s terrified one day he’s going to wake up and his entire world is going to be gone.

Nobody knows what drove him to leave the game he loved—nobody but her.

She’s the one person that has helped him make it through the dark days and even darker nights. She’s the bright and shining star in his pitch-black sky.

And he doesn’t even know her name.

He should be afraid that she knows things that not anyone—not even his best friend—knows.

Yet, with each encounter, he gives what little bit of his soul remains, and before he knows it only two people on this earth—one dying, and one too afraid to live—make his life worth living.

Until one day he has to choose—the love of his life, or the life he brought into this world.

Two impossible situations. One decision that would change him forever.

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:

Mess Me up is the perfect title for this book! Boy did I bawl many times while reading this. Your heart will break over and over for Rome and his son, Matias and then add into the mix Izzy, the RP Fan story and you got yourself two impossible situations here. Rome a former professional football player has some much-needed decisions to make. He will shatter, he will lose his soul and whether he likes it or not he needs Izzy and his MC family to help guide him in recovery is how I will best state this to avoid any spoilers. 

This is book one in the Bear Bottom Guardians MC series and LLV started this out with a tearful bang and drops our hearts to the bottom alright, but in the end, she redeemed herself even though I was still sad to a point and you will see why. This story is full of suspense, heartbreak, love and redemption of friendship. There is not a story you don’t love by this author, but this may just be my favorite one for 2018. For those of us who read Too Bad So Sad in the Simple Man series we got to meet Rome, in Tyler’s book. We knew there was a story, but never did I expect this based upon the peek we saw. On a happier note. Can I just say this makes me want to go old school style and bring pen pals back? Love seeing intermingled characters and upcoming characters to see who is next in line. I hope the good brother to Izzy gets a story down the road.
