He should’ve never left his house. He should’ve stayed at home. He has a legitimate excuse—he’s running a fever and he’s fairly sure he’s developing pneumonia. He should have called in sick…but he doesn’t.
He goes to work, because his team is relying on him.
First, he has to sign about eight thousand calendars—all from women who purchased said calendars to benefit the Fallen Officer fundraiser. And when he’s done with that, he has to endure a television interview along with the rest of the SWAT team seeing as they made national news with their ‘Hot SWAT’ calendar that’s sold a million copies to women all over the world.
Needless to say, when Samuel Adams walks into the pharmacy hours later, he only has one thing on his mind. Ibuprofen.
Sadly, he never gets to the Ibuprofen. Mostly because before he gets there, he finds a junkie waving a gun around threatening to kill anybody that moves.
He’s running a fever. That has to be the reason that the girl in the corner begins cursing up a storm and drawing the junkie’s attention. Has to be.
***
Stop it, stop it, stop it!
She tells herself to take a deep breath. Tells herself that she needs to calm down. Tells herself that if she doesn’t get her act under control, things are going to get ugly.
And, of course, that’s when the curse words start flying.
The more nervous she gets, the worse her Tourette’s becomes. Which is, of course, why she stands up and gives the man a perfect target.
Thank God that the coughing giant in the corner makes the same move and saves her life.
And how does she repay him? By calling him every awful word in the dictionary.
Thank you, Tourette’s.
4.5 ‘Worthy It’ Stars
ALL.THE.FEELS!!!!! Oh lordy, I was not prepared… Say It Ain’t So gave my heart the most extreme of emotional workouts…. Sammy and Hasting’s story is the definition of a feeling’s rollercoasters, we go through every single emotion possible, WORTH IT!!!
I thought I was diving into another addictive LLV books, but like I said, I was not prepared for this heart wrenching level of emotions.
Sammy and Hastings are instantly attracted, and that is saying a lot given the particular and risky way they see each other for the first time, but that level of attraction could not be denied.
It was like there was a magnet in both of our chests, and it was calling me to him.
“And until tonight, I didn’t realize that you were a major part of my future. That when I think about life down the road, you’re always in it with me.”
After that crazy first encounter, and some explosive follow up, where their chemistry combusted into one of many sexy AF moments, they started a ‘game’ of push and pull due to misunderstandings and miscommunication, that I made me want to dive into the pages and knock some sense it to them, but once they got their heads straight, gave into their feelings and truly got together, I was right along with them in bliss train.
That was until something that I never saw coming happened and Ms. Vale once again made me sob like a baby, by breaking my heart to pieces. Sweet baby Jesus, this woman know how to hit my black hearted soul, and wring a my feelings! The emotional charge, every single emotion is so perfectly described I was right there in every of this seconds, moments and scenes, having my heart ripped out of me. That is some masterful writing right there!
“You’re worth it, Hastings,” he told me bluntly. “It’s only you that doesn’t see it.”
“The key to my heart is on there, too. You can keep it.”
SIAS has all Lani Lynn Vale’s addictive and beyond thrilling formula, relatable characters, hilarious moments, exquisite banter, awesome relationships with the secondary characters, smoking hot sexy moments, and every one of these elements shot full of perfectly described and intense emotions, this one more than any because oh boy, it should come with a warning that it will turn us into a sobbing mess, but like I said before, WORTH. IT. Once Sammy and Hasting got together, and saw just how they were meant to be to each other, even in those heartbreaking moment we could see theirs was an EPIC love, and that is exactly what we got an epic love story! And addictive in its awesomeness, because I’m soooooo prepared for the next one already! NEED. IT. NOW! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
The seeds had rooted. We both knew the other’s feelings. And our new life would grow into something beautiful. I could feel it.
“What am I going to do with you?”
“You’re going to keep me. Forever,”
I knew that she was my one. She was the one that would be it for me forever and always.
