This author always has hot covers and this one is no different. Good composition. Eye-catching typography (because I KNOW that's what you all are looking at.) Yummy cover indeed.I haven't read a book by this author in a while. Her recent ones all seem to have these OTT melodramatic situations, but I heard good things about this one so I thought I would give it a go.Well, this was like the anti-melodrama book. Heavy on the ANTI. Unfortunately, this one left me bored for the most part. There were [...]

OMG Fear the Beard is pure Lani Lynn Vale PERFECTION!!!Brilliantly written storyline (forbidden romance, one of my favs), kick-ass characters, and unbelievably good love story, that cemented this new series, The Dixie Warden Rejects, my new LLV favorites! The guys are pure gold, in the most delicious bearded package! And let me take a minute of pause her to take a breath and fan myself because, this book should seriously come with a warning: OVARIES EXPLOSION WILL PROBABLY OCURR, because, three [...]

4.5 stars!! Loved Dr. Tommy!!

I got almost halfway through until gross descriptions related to the heroine did me in. I'm unsure how I'm supposed to process TMI. I think it's supposed to be funny, but it just takes me out of the story. Up until the point of removing any physical attractive elements from her, it was cute.

Tally is a twenty year old single mother who is almost finished with nursing school. She doesn't have time for much more than work, school, and spending time with her daughter. When she learns that Dr. Tommy is her new teacher for her last course she can't help but find him attractive but doesn't believe it will go anywhere.Tommy maybe a doctor but he is also a member of the Dixie Wardens MC. He pegs Tally the minute she comes to class and he is intrigued with the beautiful woman, the more he fi [...]

I loved this series, though I'm going to admit that I read this series all right after another while on vacation so it will be hard to review them since it was all one big story to me since i couldn't review in between. I will say that I LOVE this series. I haven't found a series I have been his excited about in a long time. I couldn't put any of these books down and didn't want to finish. thinking that I have to wait for the next two books is so depressing. I can't recommend this series enough [...]

Eh. The characters were just boring. And the extra action at the end that the author always adds in is always completely irrelevant to the story.

Tally and TommyLet's start off by saying this is a new author for us and we are so glad to have come across her works.As we are totally in love with this authors books now. OMG what an Awesome read!I loved it ! It was one of those feel good stories that have you smiling throughout it.I have to say that I was hooked right from the very beginning and could not put the book down until it was finished,I just loved all the character;s.I loved all their different personalities as they added a ton of h [...]

This book was such a progression and growth from book one. A lot of the pacing issues I had before felt so much better this time around and the story itself was hot, and funny and warm. It's not a 1%er type of MC book. It this time way more you did feel like it was apart of a club.

Jen reviewing for KinkyGirlsBookObsessionsOnce again I am in love with ANOTHER Lani Lynn Vale leading man! I feel like I wait on pins and needles every month for one of her books to hit my kindle.5 STARS for this Dixie Wardens Reject

I cannot really grasp this series, because it is not really an average MC novel and the characters here do not fit into an expected mould. The story here was all over the place, combining many loose elements that did not quite congeal, in my opinion. It needs some weeding and/or to develop more some of those hinted aspects so that they don't become just noise around the main story. The best feature on this installment was the hero's affection for little Tallulah, that alone gained it an extra st [...]

I'm totally surprised but I loved this book. I usually hate MC books but I decided to give this one a try because I have a deep weakness for teacher/student books and I'm so glad I did. Yes, parts of this were a bit ridiculous but even still, I loved Dr. Tommy! I listened to the audio version of this one and I have to say the male narrator has the sexiest voice! I think I need to check out more by this author!

I enjoyed Fear the Beard more than I expected. LLV books have been hit or miss for me lately. I thought book 1 in the series was good, but not great or anything. With this being a bit of a taboo/student-teacher thing, I wasn't sure I would like it. However, it is well done!Dr. Tommy is charming and endearing and Tally is sweet and likable. The tension comes mostly from wondering if their relationship will be discovered. There are a few bumps in the road from these two just not talking things out [...]

Let me start by saying that I adore the paradoxical nature of this series’ title and the alpha heroes who grace the pages of its stories. These hardworking men seem to be pillars in the community – those willing to do the things that need to be done in order to solve problems and prevent mishaps – and while that says a lot about the type of guys they are, their background and past paints a slightly altered version of these fine and upstanding bikers!Which is exactly why Lani Lynn Vale’s [...]

I was in a complete book slump until I read Fear the Beard!!!I could not put this book down!! it was amazing!!Tally-single mom to an adorable 8 month old baby girl, works and goes to school full timeDr. Tommy-doctor, teacher and patched in member of the Dixie Wardens MCThe chemistry between these two is HOT!!! Like panty melting hot!!! Now throw in Tallulah and OVARIES GO BOOM!!! Fear the Beard held my interest from the very first page to the very last!! Twists and turn around every corner!! Gre [...]

Who doesn't love a forbidden, sexy page turner???!!! **raises hand** This girl right here does, and Fear the Beard totally delivered! I loved this book! Tally, and Tommy are electric together, and I couldn't get enough! The story line was awesome, and the character's are just as great! After reading Beard Mode, I was hooked on this series. It truly just gets better in the second installment, and I cant wait to get my hands on Son of a Beard coming out next month! If you love reading a good Milit [...]

Another amazing read by Lani Lynn Vale every time I finish one of her books I need to get my hands on another one and I really really really need to know who Ghost is I have a feeling about who he is but I don't know . After reading Beard Mode I was excited to hear that the next book was Tommys . Love Tally she was funny , smart , and a good mother her adorable little girl just stole not only my heart but everyone that she came into contact with . Tommy was just wow super hot alpha male who can' [...]

Each book gets better and better.I love the fact that each of LLV's books gets better. This series is just as wonderful as the previous, if not more so. The characters are engaging and fun. They are sometimes broken like us. All of it makes them more real. I'm always sad to see the book end, but happy to know I'll get to know another character soon.

Not feeling it because the writing and the story jumped around and didn't make sense

A great addition to the series. I loved it. I love how they love each other. There was some ow/om drama, they caused problems, but not in the relationship. Perfect read.

Not sure what my thoughts are yet

Currently reading this as we're speakingI'm in like at 4% of the book and I just HAD to mention something that is extremely and painfully negative if not to say STUPID.I don't know how the rest of the book is gonna be, it does seem promising ofc, I just have to say something I just read.''I’d just about decided to get out and ask him if he was okay and, yes, I realize how extrovert like that would’ve been for me''what on actual earth did I just read?For the future, I'd like to ask from the a [...]

This is my first book by Lani Lynn Vale and most certainly will not be my last book by her. Lani has gained a fan who cannot wait for her next book in this series.Lani did a fantastic job at keeping her readers engaged in this story. She gave her readers a little bit of everything. Warm your heart moments ✔Strong Female Lead who took no one's crap ✔Believable Characters ✔Hot Scenes ✔Great Storyline ✔Story to fall in love with ✔Hot Sexual Tension ✔Life Struggles ✔Heartbreak ✔For [...]

FinallyThat's more like it! I was starting to get worried about LLV never writing a good book ever again, and even though this one wasn't as good as any of her first books it was pretty close.I hated some of her latest works but she's slowly redeeming herself, I'm so happy!What this story lacked in action and drama it made up in coherence, something that's been constantly lacking in her recent books. In short, it made sense It was a bit slow for my taste, her work is characterized for being fast [...]

LLV books for me are like Frosted Flakes. So good at the beginning - crunchy, sweet, and a delicious treat. Then if you poured yourself too big a bowl it starts to get soggy and maybe a little slushy. Not a good thing. That's what this book was like. I liked Tally initially. I liked Tommy too. Then they both started getting stupid and bothersome. Don't care how you spin it she was immature and not the sharpest tool in the shed at times. And Tommy. I get it insta-love/lust, whatever, but he's a d [...]

Another fantastic story by Lani, She nails it every single time.Is has you feeling a little of everything. Surprises popping out here and there, that great mixture of love,laughter and sweetness Lani has nailed down to a T! And obviously a little of angst to keep things interesting. No bad things to say here. Can't wait for what's next! xo

***This and other reviews can be found at imasweetandsassybookwhore ****ARC*I am a huge fan of Lani Lynn Vale if you haven’t already guessed and I swear with each new book I keep having a new favorite from her and Fear The Beard is my new favorite! I devoured this one like I do all of her books and when I was done I wanted more of my favorite Dixie Warden Rejects MC bikers. Me wanting more after I finish one of her books isn’t anything new I am always impatiently waiting for the next book bu [...]

Tally and Tommy are a cute couple that go through a lot of danger in this one, not skimping on the smexy times as the story and danger progresses. There's a cute baby - oooh. And their names--Tally and Tallulah--are a cool mimic of Gilmore Girls' Lorelei and Rory (short for Lorelei). And just about even amounts of time spent on Tally's family and Tommy's MC buddies. This is MC light but interesting. To be honest, I don't really get into teacher/student romances too much - too many years (33 year [...]
