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.

My heart!!! Good god! I snot sobbed like an infant reading the first half of this book. Lani Lynn Vale, you are now on my list woman! Jesus!

I will say this is the best book I have read in a long time. It pulled emotions from deep down in my soul out of me.

This book will rip your heart open and shred your heart into a million little pieces and then slow put it back together again. I adored Roman Pierce and Isadora Solis story. But little Matias stole this book for me. That little boy was so precious. He was going through hell and just wanted his daddy and his Izzy to be happy.

Rome and Izzy are two people who cannot count on many. They love their small circle fierce and protect them at all costs. I loved the friendship that Rome and Izzy had in the beginning. Izzy was there for Matias. She was a constant in Rome's life. Someone he could count on and not have to worry if she would show up or not. He needed her, and she needed him. It was beautiful.

When a man is lost with no hope at all it takes a strong woman to pull him from the dark hell and put him back together one small piece at a time. Roman was shattered, and it was Izzy who slowly showed Rome he could go on.

There were times I wanted to yell at Rome for pushing Izzy. But he was going through his own issues and had his reasons. Watching Rome battle his demons and fight for Izzy was a great story. It ended just the way it should have with the two of them.

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.
