Synopsis
 

You want some?
She snarls those words at him with barely concealed hostility the moment he arrives at her window to ask for her license and registration.
After a few choice words, he lets her go with not one ticket, but three.
Next time she should check the attitude at the door and realize that he’s a cop, and just doing his job.
Come get some.
Fast forward a week, and he’s still unable to think about anything else but her and her bad attitude-oh, and those sexy lips, angry eyes, and her promise to make his life hell.
Knowing he should stay away, he takes a step back and tries not to think about anything that has to do with those long legs, and that mouth that could be used for much better things than spewing venom.
Then she makes a mistake.
At an interview, she rattles off a random number to use as a reference for a job that she desperately needs, and that number just happens to be Johnny’s.
She’ll regret being so rude, and one day she’ll think twice when she decides to throw attitude toward a man like him.
Vowing to make her life hell, he decides to have a little fun.
Never get enough.
What he doesn’t expect is to fall for her.
The more Johnny learns about June, the deeper he digs his hole. Soon, he doesn’t know which way is up, and he’s just fine with that.
Over time, he learns that not everyone bothers to dig past her prickly demeanor and get to the woman that lives deeper.
When one too many citizens of Hostel, Texas tries to back her against the wall, he’s had enough.
After all, you don’t mess with what’s his.

4.5 ‘Johnny and June’ Stars

Talk about Serendipity! An amazing love story just as epic as the original Johnny and June! The perfect pairing, there was no doubt they were meant to be, just look at their names! Awwww… 

Can’t believe we are finally getting Johnny’s book! Can’t believe Sebastian’s little boy – from  Lights To my Siren – is all grown up. And what grown up!

Johnny was never the same after his injury in the Army, so he thinks moving to Hostel, may be just what he needed. He just didn’t have any idea how much!

That is pretty clear though when the sassy and bit standoffish though innocent and sweet June falls, or better yet, speed into his lap. Her attitude and nature capture his attention immediately, and Fate then decides that can’t be the only encounter they can have.

“And it’s sweet of you to care, really it is, but I’m okay.” 
He looked like he didn’t believe me. 
As he shouldn’t. 
I didn’t have anything together. 
Not one. Damn. Thing.

June has a black cloud the  size of Texas over her head, or should I say a lifetime of paying the consequences and being put in the same shoes of her horrible parents, like that wasn’t enough, a childhood of trauma caused by them, so she’s leery to let anyone close – literally and figuratively – but Johnny seems to be exception to that rule. Like it was truly fated in every way. They’re each others missing piece, really…

She felt like scorching heat on a cold winter’s night. 
Like a goddamn breath of fresh air after a sandstorm in the middle of the Afghani desert.

It’d been less than a month of knowing her, but I didn’t know how I’d ever lived life before her. 
She was in my every waking thought, and she never strayed far from my mind.

OMG… This man left me swooning and sighing so MANY times!!! Of course he had a couple of moments there I wanted to slap him upside his head – he’s a man, after all, lol – but overall I loved him, and the love and care he treated June from the get go. Johnny’s alpha protective nature (along with his possessiveness) were raised by tenfold around June, and oh boy was it panty and heart melting!

“How could you let some other man touch you? 
You’re. Mine.” 
“I’m not yours.” 
“You are.”

His hair was wild, and his chest was heaving, as if this was the one and only thing that was making his life worth living. 
It was the sexiest look I’d ever seen in my life. 
Hands down, I knew right then and there that I was the luckiest woman in the world. To have that look aimed at me? I’d never be able to put into words what it meant to me.

We could truly feel how captivated they were for one another. From the thoughts to the actions, their attraction, chemistry and growing love was palpable from the start and the way it organically developed along with the subplots, just proof of Ms. Vale’s brilliant writing. I specially like their devotion to each other from the get go, because all that build up, that sizzling touches they managed to seems slow burn, but so overcharged, made for one hell of explosive sexy times! Johnny expresses it perfectly! LOL

The moment her tiny hand, smooth and slightly cold, touched my cock? Yeah…I was a goner. 
Mr. Good Intentions was gone. In his place was Mr. Get You Some.

These two were so insanely HOT together, it’s a wonder my kindle didn’t overheat with them. Not only those times were incredible but also their down times, their developing complicity and friendship, true partnership.  

“I don’t want to die when you finally made me want to live.”

June was such a complex and strong character! I ADORED her to no end and want to be be her BFF, along with Amanda! For someone that passed through hell already at such young age, she manages to overcome her fears and let Johnny – along with his family and friends –  break her walls, and see just how worth it is to take the risk. She found love in more ways than one by opening herself up. And I couldn’t be happier for her! 

If there is one book where the meaning and importance of true family is in this one. Having been really alone – apart from her gramps, Amanda and Tiny – all her life and never having a ‘real’ family, June saw for the first time the true meaning of family. Johnny as well and Sebastian, Baylee and Silas – it was SO GOOD to see them all again!!! – showed her just how important the ones that love you and stand by you truly are. Family is who our heart commands not the ones we are into.

Family wasn’t only blood. Family didn’t have to be so black and white. They were who you knew, without a shadow of a doubt, would be there if you needed them. I knew, if I needed them, every single person in this room would be there for me if they could be. 
Johnny’s family was my family now. 
They may not be related to me by blood, but they were related to me by heart.

This small life lessons are yet another reasons I love Lani Lynn Vale so much. She Lani Lynn Vale really is knocking it out of the park with this series! There is nothing simple about these SIMPLE MEN!!! They are the most deliciously complex there is and guaranteed to hook you from the start. Get You Some is another perfect example of it. Johnny and June’s love story was so beautifully written, so emotional, but yet so funny, and overall heart touching, it truly was just up to par with the ‘original’ Johnny and June. I couldn’t get enough of this two, and sincerely hope we get more of them in the upcoming book. That’s right, because with all the Coke teasing and part in this book, I’m now yet again COUNTING down the days until July 6th for Ain’t Doin’ It! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

“What did I do to deserve you?” she asked. 
I grinned and tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear. “I think you’ve got it all wrong.” 
“Oh yeah?” she asked. 
I nodded. “Yeah. It’s not what you did to deserve me. It’s what I did to deserve you.”

I no longer had any fears, really. Because who could be afraid with a man like Johnny Mitchell Mackenzie at their side?
