Title: It Happens

Series: Bear Bottom Guardians MC, #6

Author: Lani Lynn Vale 

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: February 12, 2019

Zee + Annmarie and Tan + Jubilee. 

Forever. No exceptions. 

They were to have the picture-perfect life together. Everything was all planned out. 

Jubilee was to marry Eitan and Ezekiel was to marry Annmarie. That’s how it was always supposed to be from the moment that they met. Textbook, right? 

Wrong. 

Eitan and Annmarie die in a freak accident that never should have happened, leaving the two survivors reeling. 

Sixteen years later, Jubilee and Zee can’t even be in the same room with each other before things begin to deteriorate. Too many memories. Too much pain. Not enough forgiveness. 

They’re like hellfire and holy water, and neither one of them is willing to admit that they’re wrong. 

Then one day things change, and all of a sudden, they’re looking at each other like maybe they aren’t each other’s enemies after all. 

It Happens (Bear Bottom Guardians MC, #6) by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“It wouldn’t do for him to know he didn’t annoy me as much as he used to.”

Zee & Jubilee grew up together, and even back then they fought incessantly. They might have just avoided each other if their siblings weren’t dating each other. And then, after the accident, seeing each other only brought up painful memories. But the hate remained and they continued to hurl insults at each other. The strange thing is that only applies to each other, if someone else tried it, they’d get their ass handed to them. Hmmm…am I the only one that wonders if that means this is one of those cases where the hate might cross that fine line into love? Methinks they do protest too much and the sparks flying between them aren’t just anger but passion. How fun it was to find out.

One — because there are many —of the things that I love about this author’s writing is the witty banter between characters that makes me laugh. No matter how serious the topic she’s tackling in a story she manages to integrate positive things. There are always amazing support characters and loving family, even if it’s not their own. She always touches on things that bring awareness to her readers and makes us appreciate those that protect and keep us safe. I always know going in I’m gonna learn something that I will take away with me when it’s over.

I really enjoyed Zee & Jubilee’s parents in this story as well. They are supportive but also entertaining. It’s like they can see between the lines when their kids are still clueless. It wouldn’t surprise me if they were making bets on the outcome. They are also very badass themselves and not someone you would want to land on the wrong side of.

The author tells the story in dual POV and let me tell you, being inside Jubilee’s head is something else. “You know how on the fast food commercials that the burgers always look way better than when you get them in real life? That’s what I always thought would happen when it came to seeing Ezekiel McGrew without his clothes on. I thought for sure he couldn’t look as good out of them as he did in them. I was wrong. He looked better. So, so much better.”

In case you couldn’t tell, I floved It Happens. I think this is my favorite of her series so far, but don’t hold me to it, because I’ll probably think that about the next one too. 🖤
