RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW: STRANGE AND UNUSUAL (Battle Crows MC #6) by Lani Lynn Vale

STRANGE AND UNUSUAL

Series: Battle Crows MC #6

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: August 23rd, 2022

Synopsis
 

 The moment he divorced his ex-wife, Jeremiah decided two things.

One, he would never, ever get into that kind of situation again—i.e., marriage.

Two, he would spend more time doing what he loved—baking, riding motorcycles, spending time with the Battle Crows MC, and getting some quiet time for just himself. Pretty much doing the things he enjoyed, that his ex-wife could no longer ruin.

And, months after his divorce was final, he’s held strong.

He hasn’t gotten entangled with a woman. He’s opened his own bakery. And he’s never been closer to his club.

It has to be why he allowed them to have a massive club party at his place, which became the cause of Gracelynn Barry entering his life.

If he’d known Gracie was going to be his employee, he definitely wouldn’t have slept with her.

Yet, there he is, in the middle of an interview, finding out not only was the woman he slept with the most viable applicant for a job he very much needed filled, but that she’d recently broken up with the man he loathed. The second reason he’d divorced his ex-wife. Erich. His ex-stepson.

To say life is simple for Jeremiah would be a joke of epic proportions.

It’s time for him to buckle up.

4  ‘I Want All Of You’ Stars

 

I’ll be d@mned!!! Strange and Unusual stole my heart, with its quirky, unconventional, and passionate ways! Gracie and Jeremiah are THE bomb!!!

After dozens and dozens of published books, and Ms. Vale still manages to surprise the hell out of me. This story had all the elements I adore in contemporary romance, delivered in the addictive LLV manner, and still felt refreshing and new, in so many ways. Specially these two main characters, both Gracelynn and Jeremiah are so unique and alike that I fell right in for them. Maybe because I identified myself so much in these two book nerds, that love quiet times?! I really don’t know why, but I was beyond hooked in their story, and that climax, oh boy, about wrecked me, because I did not see that coming.

I love a good age gap romance, and Strange and Unusual did it for me big time, the older Alpha, grouchy, protective, and oh so sexy just took it to another level. And that ending… *dreamy sigh* LOVED. IT!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

4.5 ‘My Duke’ Stars

My, oh my… Talk about rendering me speechless… What may I say, other than One Night With The Duke will NEVER be enough! Mind blowingly enrapturing, passionate and oh so utterly engaging, that I could not read it in all but one sitting!

Ms. Malpas’ first dip into one of my favourite genres, Historical Romance, was as massive success as her intense contemporary romances. I should not be surprised, given her writing is one of the most addictive I’ve had the pleasure of reading – or should I say, devouring – but the way that Eliza and her Duke stole my heart in a blink of an eye, is no joking matter.

He has my heart and I am terrified I will never get it back.

He means freedom. Happiness. Light.

Eliza Melrose, and her quick wit and take no prisoners manner, may have proved tough to live with in her time, but I delighted in every moment, every scheme her curiosity led her too, a woman after my own heart. And Duke Winters…*dreamy sigh* How could one resist this tantalising, mysterious, gorgeous and complicated man?! One simply can not I tell you! A true JEM kind of broken Alpha, with a capital A, Johnny Winters was the true ‘handsome devil’, but the more we know, and FALL, for him, the more his complexity and sexual magnetism captivate us. His unraveling, his intensity, just made him that more enticing, and by the end, wow, my heart didn’t stand a chance!

‘This won’t only be one night, Eliza,’ he says, his voice strong but rough. ‘Once I’ve had you, I will not give you up.’

Jodi Ellen Malpas’ outstanding debut in HR provided us not only my new HR addiction, but an incredible and epic world building, that transported us to that time and place. I could feel and see the whole of Belmore Square like I was one of its residents, and the richness and diversity of its characters, just spike my curiosity to no end, in such a way that even now after that marvellous ending, that made my heart soar, I’m already dying for the next Belmore Square tale! Completely and utterly addicted, I tell you!!! 

Write,’ he orders gently, pushing his lips into my neck, biting softly at my flesh. ‘And when you are finished, I will show you how the story ends.’
