He’s only a friend. 

Those words had haunted him from the moment Jessie James had heard them muttered from the one girl, above all others, that he thought had his back. 

Sixteen years later, he still feels those words like a brand on his soul. 

Lucky for him he has a son to take care of, a full-time job that demands every single second of the day, and not a single moment to spare for the likes of a woman that won’t stand up for him when he needs her the most. 

He’s only a friend. 

The words had slipped out of Ellen’s mouth, and before she could recall them or better yet, explain, Jesse is gone from her life for good, taking her heart with him. 

She tries to find her way out of the pit of despair, but not one single person, no matter how much she tries, can fill the void that he left in his wake. 
Time heals all wounds. Or at least that is how the saying goes. 
It’s a crock of crap, though.

Sixteen years pass when Jessie and Ellen see each other again without the influence of the town and bad memories surrounding them, and it’s as if not a single day has passed. 

Ellen knows the instant that her eyes see her old love that she’s still just as much in love with him today as she was all those years ago. 

The problem is that Jesse wants nothing to do with her. Or at least that’s what he keeps telling himself.

THE BEARD MADE ME DO IT

THIS…..BOOK….IS….MY….FAV….LANI LYNN VALE BOOK!!!! Yesss I am shouting cuz that is how I feel right now. I just finished this book and OMG I really want to re-read it all over again..lol

The want, the need, the passion, the drama and ohhhh THE HAWT ALPHA MC MALE, and look he is on the cover of this book!!! lol Goodness this book gave me the feels and I would love for this book to go on and on…lol

Fourteen years ago, Ellen had her heart broke by the bad boy that had a kid. He felt she would be better off without him around and after hearing her parents talking shit about him he decided to walk away and let her go onto college and make a better life for herself. This sooo broke Ellen’s heart!! She absolutely loved this bad boy. She didn’t want to let him go. Fast forward 14 years later, he is all grown up, now a member of the Dixie Warden Rejects, his baby grew up to a young man. (and I just have to insert this, this young boy is freaking hilarious!!! I really hope this boy gets his own book cuz he is a riot. He has sooo taken after his MC bad ass daddy and I just fell in love with him as well!!) Anyway, lol, Ellen happens to be dating another MC’er but when she spots the boy she lost all those years ago, feelings came back and she just had to see if the feelings she had all those years ago were also felt by him?

I gave this book 5 iScream BOOKS STARS!!! I want more…like stomp my foot…I loved this book sooo much that I want more..lol Thank you for this book Lani, you ROCK woman!! : )

Coming August 25th!

    

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.
