CUTE BUT PSYCHO
Series: Gator Bait MC #3
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: January 17th, 2023
Etienne LaFayette hits the ground running the moment he breathes free air after being paroled from a maximum-security prison in Texas.
He claws his life back from his brother-in-law who’d taken over his business during the years he’d spent as an inmate at Huntsville Penitentiary. Though it is hard, he puts his life back together in Accident, Florida.
There, he hires new employees, joins a motorcycle club, and becomes wildly successful overnight.
Seems like the perfect life, right?
Wrong.
Because one of his first clients is a beautiful, curly-haired woman that reels him in from the moment he first lays eyes on her. Only, before he can work his charm, she forms an opinion of him based solely on the person that he chose to work at his side, day in and day out. That opinion? Utter disgust.
***
Matilda Deveraux has been dealt blow after blow her entire life.
First with the death of her mom. Then living with a stepfamily that despises her.
Her entire life she’s been known as different. The “weird girl that creeps everyone out.”
It’s not her fault that she’s different, yet everyone, including Etienne’s assistant, treats her like she’s a menace to society.
Like she would be better off in a loony bin than gracing the streets of Accident, Florida.
After years of abuse from everyone around her, the last thing she needs is to be around a man that would have that horrible woman around him twenty-four seven.
As a result, she forms an opinion—something that people do to her all the time—and treats him accordingly.
Only, it turns out that Etienne isn’t who she thought he was.
He’s much, much worse. But only in the best of ways.

My, oh my… How these two stole my heart! Etienne and Matilda’s love story is quite a tale… Sweet, steamy, funny and with the perfect amount of suspense, Cute but Psycho – love the title, by the way – hit just the right spot for this beginning of 2023. We are off to a great start!
Meeting immediately after Etienne’s release from jail – like all the other Gator Bait MC members, he was in prison for fighting for someone else, for being on the ‘good’ side of justice – these two were instantly intrigued by one another. Matilda, being the product of an affair, has had a tough time in life, specially after her mom passed and she had to go live and be part of her father’s family, and let me tell you, what an awful family it is! Adding to that being neurodivergent, she keeps much to herself, distant from all others, apart from everyone but her best friend ad business partner, Diana. She has always felt on the outside and never truly loved… That quickly changes after they get together, because not only is Etienne fully devoted to her, but she gains a new family in all of Etienne’s MC brothers and their partners.
I didn’t want to be anyone’s responsibility.
I wanted to be their passion. Their first choice. Their main reason for breathing.
She’s mine to take care of now. She’s mine to protect. She’s mine to make sure she doesn’t get manipulated by you again.
Etienne made me swoon, HARD! The way he cared and loved Matilda, that he not only respected her quirks and mannerisms but supported and was always there for her, WOW… Absolutely impossible to resist, and trying she did, lol.
These guys, Gator Bait MC, really are something else! With each book I’m left thrilled, and psyched for more. With all the hints we got from Cassius and Alice, oh boy, are we in for a treat, and I can’t freaking wait!!!!
All your quirks. All your kisses. All your Sunday morning snuggles. I want them all. And I want it in the most permanent way possible.”
It felt like finally coming home.
