BLURB.

Huxley Hosea was at the lowest of the lows.

Exhausted—both mentally and physically—he could barely put one foot in front of the other. Tired to the bone due to a never-ending war. He was desperate to find a new every day that didn’t revolve around getting shot at by kids that could barely hold a rifle steady. War had broken his soul, and the last thing he wanted to do was go home and pretend that he was just a normal citizen.

But then he sees her, also at her lowest of lows, for the first time, and his soul latches on. Bernice, his salvation.

He’s convinced that she’s the answer to his woes, and he develops an unhealthy attachment to her that carries over to his civilian life. For five years, he watches her. Protects her. Keeps her safe when she won’t protect herself. Hux follows her every move and hides in the shadows so she’ll never see.

Then she shows up in his town, and all bets are off.

She’s in his town now. That means his rules. His way. And no more highway.

She’s stuck, and she’ll never know it until it’s too late for her to run.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lani Lynn Vale has a brand new book out in the swoony Don't Hate Him series, and what a read this beauty right here was. With Spite gives us Huxley and Bernice's story and this is not a couple you'll soon forget. This book was crazy good- packed to the brims with heart, heat, and all of the feels. I was hooked from the very first page and didn't stop until the pages quit turning.

I can definitely recommend this author and series y'all.

MY REVIEW.

4 Stars from Tiffany!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Picks Right Up!

Heal Me, Love Me is the second book in the Off the Mat Duet,, and it picks up exactly where Fight Me, Break Me left us.

After that cliffhanger, I was hoping we would jump right back into the story and we sure did! I also liked that the focus wasn’t solely on Rowan and what was happening with him. We were able to move forward and continue watching their story unfold.

Unlike the first book, Fight Me, Break Me, this time around we get to lean more into Rowan and Keaton’s relationship instead of moving between past and present to see how they ended up where we first found them. I enjoyed both of these characters, and they balance each other out so well.

Of course, things weren’t smooth sailing, because what fun would that be? But our guys handled what life threw at them, and it was a treat to see them grow both individually and as a couple.

This book is well written and is best read in order. Mason, as a supporting character, was absolutely brilliant, and here’s hoping his story is up next.

MY REVIEW.

4 Stars from Renee!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first.

Penalty Kiss (Pucks & Penalties #1)

Chasing Love (Pucks & Penalties, #2)

This is Holly and Viktor’s story. He is struggling with making everyone happy. He makes a deal with Holly who is trying to keep a bird sanctuary open. He needs money and he needs a wife to keep his mother off his back. One year and then she is free. What neither of them thought was what happens if they fall for each other. The more time they spend together the closer they become. Could this really be love or are they just that good at pretending?

I recommend this book.
