About WHAT THE HAIL

He’s wanted her since he repossessed her car and made her cry. Baylor Hail knew two things. One, he hated crying females. Two, it was even worse when he was the one to make that female cry. He never meant to do anything but his job, but when one thing leads to another, suddenly all he can think about is the broken woman whose car he towed. She’s wanted him since he patted her back and told her it was okay to cry even though she knew he was lying. Nothing ever goes right for Lark. Not when she got married. Not when she tried to leave her abusive husband, and not when she arrived in a new town with a fresh, clean slate. That clean slate came courtesy of a secret organization that specializes in helping abused women find a way out. They set her up with a whole new life. It just turns out that it happened to be right smack dab in the middle of another woman’s old one. That woman also happens to be down on her luck, something that Lark learns the hard way when on her first day there, her car is towed by a handsome stranger. It’s been two years since she’s felt any kind of sexual attraction toward a man, and she reacts badly. We’re talking full-on, hysterical breakdown as he loads her car onto his tow truck while looking at her like she’s lost it. Maybe being crazy isn’t all that bad. The next thing she knows, she’s spending time with the sexy stranger and life couldn’t be better—even though she still doesn’t have a car. She thinks she’s in the clear, that she’s got it all figured out… well, that is until her ex-husband finds her again. Now the ball is in her sexy stranger’s court as he decides whether or not her kind of crazy is worth getting killed over. Turns out, for Baylor Hail, maybe it is.

Excerpt

As I exited their house a couple minutes later, three pieces of bacon in one hand, and a disposable cup of coffee in the other, I came to a sudden halt when I saw the woman outside getting ready to mow her lawn. She wasn’t in jeans today. No, she was in fucking Spandex. Spandex. Spandex that was pink, stretchy, and clung to her unlike anything I’d ever seen before. The closest thing I could compare it to was fucking saran wrap. “So, what are today’s panties?” I asked, my filter all but gone. This woman had the power to unman me. She grinned and said, “I’d have to take another testicle shot at you with my button for you to find out.” I was pretty sure it’d be worth it. “Come on,” I said. “My ball is still throbbing if that counts.” It was, too. Each step I took caused a sharp pain to shoot up into my belly. I’d never felt something so debilitating in my life, and I’d been hit by a goddamn car. She immediately reddened at my words. “If you have to know,” she blushed seven shades of red, “they say ‘Sour Puss’ on them. Happy?” My grin was slow as it took over my face. “Sure am.” She rolled her eyes and looked away. “Do you live on this street?” I shook my head and pointed to the house that was three down from hers. “That’s my brother’s place.” Understanding dawned. “The tow truck.” She snapped her fingers as if she was let in on a secret. “I’ve always wondered if he was the owner, or if he was just special enough to take his truck home,” she commented. I shrugged. “All of the employees take them home, honestly. The only way they don’t is if they’re still in the probationary period, but everyone that’s working for us right now is off probation.” “Why?” “Why what?” I countered. “Why do they take them home?” I shrugged again. “It’s easier to have them with us, that way when we get a call after hours, we don’t have to go to the shop before we run it.” “Ahhh,” she murmured. “That makes sense, I guess. Why would someone be on probation?” “If they’re new hires or if they’ve done something stupid like lose a car on the interstate.” She snorted. “That doesn’t actually happen, does it?” I grinned. “More than you’d think.” She leaned her hip against the lawn mower almost out of instinct as she started to laugh. However, the lawn mower started to roll, and she began to fall. Doing my manly duty, and my manly duty only, I lurched forward, ignoring the twinge in my balls, and caught her before her ass could kiss the ground. She gasped when I pulled her in line with my body, and her hands went to my chest. “That was close,” she gasped. “You’re fast.” I let her go and stepped away, and my knee nearly gave out. “Goddamn,” I groaned as I doubled over. She bent down with me, but my eyes were squeezed shut as I tried to breathe through the pain in my ball—which had trumped the pain in my knee. I really thought that I might die.

REVIEW

What the Hail is book 4 in the Hail Raisers series, and since I've read a few, but not all of the books in this series, I can tell you that you can absolutley read each book as a standalone though you'll probably get more enjoyment out of reading them all, which I'll be going back to do now. 

What the Hail brings us the love story of Baylor Hail and Lark, who just so happens to have found herself in his zone, after being given a new life in a new area in the hopes of being free and clear of her abusive ex.   

Baylor's had his own struggles in life, he's different from most guys, kind of quiet, prefers to be alone as he doesn't like being touched, and he's got a bit of sensitivity to him. Which kicks off his downfall with Lark - because he feels bad for being the man who made her cry. There's something about the quiet new woman in town that he can't seem to shake off.  

Lark isn't in the right place to start a relationship of any sort, she's struggling right now just to keep her life together, trying to keep up with bills and find her place in her new life.  But she just can't help herself where Baylor is involved. 

What the Hail delivers a touch of everything - there's laugh out loud funny moments, amazing banter, a touch of suspense, that amazing feel of family bonds, and of course so much more.  Lani Lynn Vale writes in such a way that the characters feel real, and I'm deeply involved in their stories and their lives - it's like reading about someone I already know and love and watching them find their happiness.   As with previous books in this series, not only does she deliver fun and beautiful stories for the couple involved, she also shows us the connections between the rest of the Hail brothers and their group drawing me further into the series and excited to read the rest.
