Kennedy

Kennedy Kramer has lived the dream. It just wasn't her dream. Yearning to build a life of her own, free of her overbearing parents, she opens Zen yoga studio.

To appease her distressed parents and get them off her back, she needs to convince them she’s living the life they want for her.

She somehow finds herself entangled with Dante Craig and Operation: Decoy.

Dante

Dante Craig doesn’t want for much. As long as he has his friends and can do karate whenever he wants, he’s good to go.

With nothing holding him back or tying him down, Dante latches onto Karlton's harebrained scheme to be Kennedy’s Decoy. But it turns into something neither of them saw coming. Her ass in those yoga pants only helps cement the concept of making the temporary decoy position a permanent one.

Kennedy might have a decoy, but Dante is the one with the secret. When light is shined onto the truth, will they earn a black belt in love or end up with broken hearts?

“I’m a fighter, Kennedy. It’s what I’m good at.” I sat up and scooted around to sit on my knees next to Dante. My fingertips grazed the cut on his face. “But do you have to get hurt doing it?” “This doesn’t happen all of the time. The guy got a lucky punch in today, and the damn mat cut me.” “Black eye and a cut, but you still won,” I said lightly. That didn’t really seem like a win to me. He grabbed my hand and pressed a kiss to my fingertips. “Stop focusing on that.” He grabbed me around the waist and lifted me into his lap. I straddled him and I wrapped my arms around his neck. “I’m thirty-nine, honey, but that doesn't mean shit. I can beat half the guys out on the circuit.” “I do have to admit that it’s pretty hot that you can beat up someone half your age.” He chuckled and shook his head. “As much as I’d love to compete against those guys, I compete in the thirty-five and older bracket, honey. I just train against those guys which gives me an advantage against all the other old guys trying to get their asses kicked.” I ran my fingers through his silver hair and smiled. “You really are a Silver Fox Ninja,” I muttered.

I truly love this series and each book just keeps getting better and better. It's now Dante's turn he's the older gentleman of the group of friends who opened up Powerhouse M.A.. Kennedy has always wanted to own her business so she opened up a yoga studio, but it was never enough for her mother who was constantly trying to fix her up with her father's stodgy friends so she would have someone to always take care of her. Enter her best Karlton with his hair brain scheme to fashion a decoy so her mother will get off her back. You know what they say about best laid plans they never go according to plan and neither does this great idea. Dante decides to be the decoy but for him he's playing to win and all bets are off when it comes to Kennedy. Every word on every page will have you turning the pages to see what will happen next or what quirky word will pop out of any of the outstanding cast of characters in this delightful and humorous book. That ending though is perfect for the next book and I'm salivating to get my hands on it ASAP!!!

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW ~~ HAIL NO (HELL RAISERS, #1) BY LANI LYNN VALE @EJBookPromos

Title: Hail No

Series: Hail Raisers #1

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.

iScream Book Blog - “Hail No = Hell Yes!”

Britt Red Hatter Book Blog - “As always, Hail No is an addictive book that will instantly suck you in and leave you unable to step away for even a second.”

MJ’s Book Blog and Reviews - “The first book of this new series was amazing, and had me going through all the feels.”

I don't know how Lani does it time and time again but this new romantic suspense will knock you for a loop and have you begging for more. Evander was locked up for a crime he didn't do upon release there's no one to welcome him home other than his dog and he old boss who gives him his job back no questions asked. He literally runs into Kennedy who is starting to learn the hard way that love is not unconditional and that the ones to turn their back on you first is family. They are like to peas in a pod in my book and that is was draws them together. I love a good suspenseful romance and this book is par for the course. This book was a delight to read and the secondary characters are friends that we all will want rooting in our corners. I'm so captivated by this series and can't wait for the next book. 

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.
