Title: Mess Me Up

Series: Bear Bottom Guardians MC #1

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: September 6, 2018

When Rome Pierce moved to Bear Bottom, Texas, it was his intention to lay low. To not be seen. To find a way to heal his body and soul—as well as his son’s.

Nobody would know by looking at him that he used to play professional football. Not with the Bare Bottom MC cut covering his back, and definitely not with his friendly smile completely obliterated.

No longer is there charm in each smooth word that comes out of his mouth. What’s left is an angry, bitter, scared man that’s terrified one day he’s going to wake up and his entire world is going to be gone.

Nobody knows what drove him to leave the game he loved—nobody but her.

She’s the one person that has helped him make it through the dark days and even darker nights. She’s the bright and shining star in his pitch-black sky.

And he doesn’t even know her name.

He should be afraid that she knows things that not anyone—not even his best friend—knows.

Yet, with each encounter, he gives what little bit of his soul remains, and before he knows it only two people on this earth—one dying, and one too afraid to live—make his life worth living.

Until one day he has to choose—the love of his life, or the life he brought into this world.

Two impossible situations. One decision that would change him forever.

5 out of 5 stars

This one tore me up. I cried buckets while reading Rome’s story - which didn't surprise me after meeting him in Too Bad So Sad, his best friend, Tyler’s, story! Though it wasn’t all sad tears, there were times I was crying because I was so happy with how the story was going.

Rome is the best of the best as far as book boyfriends go. He is messed up, but as he realizes it he does everything he can to fix it. Issy is a super strong heroine who takes care of herself and those around her - and tries to eliminate the negative she doesn’t need! The two of them are a perfect match and reading their story was pure joy!

I really, really loved this story. I loved the letters from his biggest fan. I loved how much Izzy loved Matias. I loved that even though Tara was pure evil (or so it seemed) they found forgiveness for her. This book just really took me on an emotional roller coaster that I honestly never wanted to end.

One of my favorite parts of Ms. Vale’s books are the chapter headings and the ones in this book made me laugh so hard I had to share them with a book friend. They are just perfection - and always align so well with the characters in question. She is just one author I can’t refuse the chance to read!!!

I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 9, 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.
