♥ New Release ♥ Counter To My Intelligence (The Heroes of the Dixie Wardens MC #7) by Lani Lynn Vale

Title: Counter To My Intelligence
Series: The Heroes of the Dixie Wardens MC #7
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Adult, Motorcycle Club Romance
Release Date: January 6, 2016
Sometimes the heart wants what it can’t have.
That’s the motto Silas Mackenzie, the president of The Dixie Wardens MC, has lived by since he was a young man.
Now he’s well on the way to middle age, has three grown children, and he’s lusting after a woman he should definitely stay away from.
Especially not one that his ex-girlfriend had given birth to, and happened to be only twenty seven years old.

Sawyer isn’t a young girl at heart, though.

She’s seen the inside of a jail cell for eight long years, and every one of them she spent paying for a crime she didn’t commit.
Silas Mackenzie knows as soon as he sees her that the girl has sacrificed enough.

And maybe…just maybe…so has Silas.
It’s time for Silas Mackenzie to get what he deserves, and put a little bit of happy back into Sawyer’s world, one rough, bearded kiss at a time.


review
TOH5
Sawyer Berry is finally free. After spending eight years in jail, she is starting over in her hometown where everyone knows what she did. Between getting settled at home and doing her best to ignore the looks and the whispers from the locals, Sawyer has a lot on her plate. She isn’t who she used to be and Sawyer knows that she needs to find her way on this new path in life. Little did she know that Silas Mackenzie, the president of The Dixie Wardens MC, would make his way into her life.

Silas Mackenzie didn’t see Sawyer coming. He definitely didn’t expect to want her as badly as he did, especially because he dated her mother. He feels as if they’ve both suffered enough and Silas is finally going to go after what he deserves. Even if she is only 29 years old.

Lani Lynn Vale never fails to pull me into her stories. She definitely didn’t disappoint here with Counter to My Intelligence. I loved Silas and Sawyer. Overall, the story flowed very well. It’s fast paced and I swear Lani had me in tears from laughing so hard at the quotes before each chapter. I couldn’t help but sympathize with Sawyer and what she went through. Finding out the story of Silas’ past and seeing his growth throughout the book, really drew me to him more. Everything about Silas is tempting from his cut, to his beard and shaved head. No wonder Sawyer couldn’t say no. The chemistry between them is unmistakeable and I was really able to connect with them. Counter to My Intelligence is the perfect balance of love, humor, and suspense.

“I like your vest.”
“It’s called a cut,” he muttered laughingly.
“What’s a cut?” I asked.
The hail and rain got worse, hitting the roof and the side of the garage like tiny little battering rams.
“A leather vest,” he quipped.
I giggled against his chest, turning my face so it could rest against his neck.
He growled when I kissed his exposed throat, but otherwise didn’t move.
“Joking aside, it’s my club. The cut is me. The top rocker, which is the white banner at the top, is our club name,” he said.
I felt along his back as he spoke, feeling what he was saying as he explained what each one was.
“The bottom rocker is our club’s location. We’re in Benton. We have other chapters all over the south,” he explained. “On the front is my name, club title, and the city again.”
I knew he was explaining this to me to get my mind off the fact that the roof was shaking around us, literally.
“I can’t believe Dallas hasn’t at least come to check on me,” I muttered darkly.
He tangled my hands in my hair, and I looked up at him…or where I thought he was.
“Your brother is a shit head. And I don’t think he even realizes that he is. Because if he did, he wouldn’t be telling your parents anything about how you were. My guess is that he really is worried, but he doesn’t know how to handle that worry. So, he closes himself off, telling himself that by telling your mother how he thinks you’re doing, he’s helping. Which, in reality, he’s not,” Silas said. “Maybe it’s time you had a talk with him, let him know you don’t appreciate being treated as a child.”
I agreed, and I’d already planned on doing that.
“I was going to do that today, but then he had that huge freakin’ party,” I told him darkly. “And I had to park in the street.”
He lowered his mouth down to mine.
“Well, then it’s a good thing he’s preoccupied, because right about now I could really fuck you on top of his car and he’d never even know,” he said tightly, lifting my body off the bench and laying me down on the car’s hood.
I laughed. “You know,” I said as he stripped my shorts from me. “This is my brother’s pride and joy.”
“Well your brother’s pride and joy is about to become our fuck stand,” he growled, then he was on me.

I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 5, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
