Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release: September 27, 2017
Evander Lennox doesn’t do anything he doesn’t want to do. At least, that is, until he’s sent to prison. The four years he’s incarcerated, he’s had no choice but to do the things that he’s asked to do, when he’s asked to do them. And now, if he doesn’t, it will mean a one-way ticket straight back to hell.
Once he’s free, it takes him twenty-four hours to get his old job back, his dog at home where he belongs, and an understanding that people aren’t as forgiving as he once thought them to be. He’s just about given up hope of ever integrating back into society when a woman slams into his heart, literally and figuratively.
***
Kennedy Swallow just wants to belong somewhere.
When she was younger, her parents divorced, and chose to separate her from her twin. Fast forward fifteen years, and she’s finally getting to meet the family she’s always wanted to be a part of. To make that happen, she uproots her life and moves to the tiny town of Hostel, Texas—giving her almost everything she’s ever wanted.
Just when she thinks she’s making progress in winning her family over, she finds out that her twin is ill, and the only reason her family tolerates her is due to the convenience of having a free caretaker whenever they might be in need of one.
After a few eye-opening experiences, she quickly realizes that she’s being used. Vowing to herself that she’ll make the best of the situation, she begins to steel her heart. What she doesn’t prepare for is a man named Evander who sees that barrier as a challenge.
***
It takes Evander all of ten seconds while watching the woman on the floor, bleeding from her jaw, to realize that maybe life isn’t as bad as it could be.
This woman with her thrill for life, a crazy obsession with chickens, and a desire to be wanted, changes everything he thinks he knows.
But it doesn’t take long for him to realize that just by being around her, the people of the town have judged her guilty by association.
Her business suffers, and soon after, she realizes what it will mean to have him by her side—the loss of everything she’s worked so hard for.
Kennedy knows that Evander is worth it. Evander, however, decides that he’s not letting another person get hurt because he was stupid enough to care.

Hail No is
book one in a brand new series, Hail Raisers, by Lani Lynn Vale. It has hot as
hell Evander and Kennedy, who is alone in the world, and these two belong
together.
Evander
has just been released from prison after serving four years and is trying to
get his life back in order. Everyone in
town shuns him and does their best into making him think he doesn’t belong there
anymore. This man is a force to be
reckoned with because he doesn’t let life get him down, but when he meets Kennedy,
he knows he can’t fall for her. She
doesn’t belong in his life where everyone hates him.
Kennedy is
alone on her farm, living a lonely life.
Most of her family has passed except for her sister, who is dealing with
cancer. No matter what she does, her
sister pushes her away. My heart broke
for her because she just didn’t seem to fit in anywhere. It is just her and her animals, until she sees Evander. She knows she wants to
meet this broody man, who acts like he has the weight of the world on his
shoulder.
As much as
Evander tries to evade Kennedy, she just won’t leave him alone but that’s the
push he needs to open up and learn to live life again. Sparks fly as soon as they are alone, but that’s
where I was a little disappointed. Their
first time isn’t all they planned and Evander is such an ass to her. I wouldn’t have given him the time of day
after that, but Kennedy kept right on going.
I admire her for that because he was so mean to her.
Once he
got over it and saw she wasn't letting go, he realizes this woman, his woman, is
one he wants by his side. Their
relationship progresses quickly and I love seeing Evander want to be happy and
Kennedy get the happiness she deserves. Both
of their lives changed for the better from the moment they met. The sex was hot, the characters are real and
down to earth, and Lani delivers another action packed book. I can't wait to get more Hail Raisers!
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.
