F-BOMB by Lani Lynn Vale

You murder a man, and all of a sudden people are scared of you.

Slate Solis went from being a guy that people went to in times of need to an ex-con that people crossed the street to avoid being too close to.

He knows he’s done wrong, but out of all of his sins, only one really bothers him—coveting thy neighbor’s wife.

Harleigh Belle—the cute little lady that never gives him a second glance.

After seeing her for the first time while he was in prison, she’s stayed on his mind for three long years. Each time she comes in to visit with her friend on family day, he can’t help but stare.

Then the day comes that he’s set free, and he’s almost disappointed that he’ll never see her again.

Except fate has different plans.

He hasn’t been back in his house for more than three hours when he sees her.

Harleigh Belle in all her glory…oh, and her husband that is everything Slate isn’t.

He tells himself that her being fifty feet away from him, all day every day, is a complete coincidence. One that he shouldn’t take advantage of. The more time passes, the harder it gets to stay away. Until one day, and one very ill-timed thunderstorm, ruin everything.

Who knew that baby-making-weather was a real thing?

My Review

★★★★✩

This book was just one more reason why I love Lani Lynn Vale! I've been waiting for Slate's book ever since I met him 8 books ago. How can I not want to meet this hero? After his partner, who was also his fiancee, was murdered, he went after her killer and ended up with a murder rap. I think it should have have been viewed as justifiable homicide or maybe suicide by cop, but then again, I'm a sucker for a vigilante and I'm in love with Slate.

Slate gets out and ends up moving into the house he bought before he went in. He just wants to be alone. He loves his sister, but he needs his space. He's come to respect his brothers in the MC, but they don't understand his reticence. So what happens when his alone time is interrupted by his neighbor constantly taking over his yard?

Harleigh is a sassy, spunky, feisty bundle of awesomeness. I didn't like her at first because she made wild assumptions about my sweetie, Slate, but my opinions changed just as quickly as hers did. When she was able to see everything that was amazing about Slate, she became my kind of girl. Not quite dealing with past trauma, her quirks keep putting her in Slate's path and their love seemed almost inevitable.

If you are lonely, dim all the lights and put on a scary movie. Then you won't feel so alone. - I can't get enough of the chapter quotes 🤣🤣🤣

With tons of suspense and a huge revelation that will change these characters lives forever, Vale gave us a banger of a tale. There was one twist to the story that I'm still a bit shocked by. I'm wondering if the fullness of it was covered in another book. I'm going to have to go back and read the ones I've missed. If you love hot and spicy romance with suspense, you're going to love this one!
