Poor judgment: knowing better yet doing it anyway.
Flint Stone is a professional in every way.
He’s a police officer with the K-9 unit and works at Gun Barrel High as the school resource officer. In his spare time, he’s working his heart out to create a successful gym from the ground up.
He’s loved by every single person he ever encounters—student, faculty, and employees—Everyone but Camryn Elvis Presley.
The only thing they have in common is their mothers’ poor excuses for names.
Period. The end.
So why is it every time she crosses his path that he has the urge to mess up her perfectly curled hair? Or unbutton a few of her prim and proper buttons?
He knows he should stay away, yet like the high schoolers he’s around every day, he has no choice but to react first and think about the consequences later.
Side note—bad decisions are made, leading to lapses in judgment that threaten both of their jobs. Yet when the time comes, neither one can seem to find the wherewithal to care. Why? Because being bad feels so good.

3.5 ‘Your Impossible’ Stars
Hot Damn… There is nothing Gentlemanish about these men! Specially not with Officer Flint Stone, that’s for sure! LOL
Lord Have Mercy follows the winning formula of Ms. Vale’s addictive and fast paced writing. Nothing proves that addiction more than the fact that even if containing elements that you don’t care for, you can’t help but devour the book in one sitting. That’s just how talented Lani Lynn Vale is with her words.
That was the case here with Camry and Flint’s story, I love a good enemies to lovers’ tale, and this one fit that to a T, with their delicious BANTER, and APPARENT dislike towards one other, we could practically FEEL the sizzle between these two, it was that massive! The big issue I had with this one, and why I ended up not enjoying as much as I usually do, was that it contained one of my least premises and PERSONAL pet peeves, the H wanting the h from the very first minute and being aware of it, and instead of doing something about it, using OW as sexual replacement while only wanting the h. With that being very clear here and mentioned multiple times and the ow having the role she has all throughout the story, plus the off thought comments about the sexual relation in the first 25% of the story were kind of off putting to me, but again I say, it’s a personal peeve of mine and I have no doubt that most readers won’t have any issue with that, just wish that hadn’t kind of tainted their story for me, because if not for that and being reminded of the ow role in their past and present, these two were FANTASTIC together. And more than that, once they got together, which was very early in the book, they knew they were each other’s last, that they weren’t meant to be, not even a hint of doubt. They were each others’ ONE!
I truly think Lani Lynn Vale must have a super writing power, because with these many releases and keeping up with this deliciously addictive writing style in every single one of her books…WOW! Lord Have Mercy is barely out in the world and I’m already craving her next book, and after the teasing in this one, I’m dying for Croft and Mickey’s book! Arghhh… Need it NOW!!! <3 <3 <3 <3
I know exactly what you’re capable of.”
She smoothed her hand over my cheek. “What’s that?”
“The impossible,” I rasped, my eyes once again closing. “Making me happy.”That was the day that I truly knew happiness.
