No take-backs.
That was the motto that Drew lived by in all things, including his love life.
He’s a player, pure and simple.
He’s learned the hard way that women aren’t all hearts and flowers. Sometimes their sexy bodies and beautiful faces are just a pretty shield to hide the crazy, and he’s so freakin’ over crazy.
Been there, done that. He has the divorce papers to prove it.Karma hits like a bitch.
Aspen needs a break. A long one that doesn’t include anything with a Y chromosome. Not even one as tempting as her new neighbor who just moved in across the street. Men are trouble with a capital freakin’ T, and she has the ankle monitor to prove it.
The last man she gave her heart to was a police officer. A man whose life was dedicated to protection; he was supposed to protect her heart—not break it.
She decides right then and there that she’s done with being the better person.Everything happens for a reason.
A rash decision—undoubtedly regrettable, undeniably unforgettable. In the heat of the moment, Aspen’s actions with a tire iron and her ex-boyfriend’s brand new SUV land him in the ER getting stitches and have her seeing the inside of a jail cell for the first time.
It’s just her luck that the whole town is there to witness the result of her poor decision, including her police officer brother and the neighbor that already made it more than clear she was more trouble than she was worth.
House arrest never looked so good.Hide your crazy.
Drew enjoyed the show, though. For the first time in a year, he’s thinking about his life, and how it would be a lot more enjoyable with a woman like Aspen at his side.
Maybe crazy isn’t so bad after all.
4.5 Stars
If Drew has learned anything, it’s that women are crazy and most of them hide it really well behind their good looks. He’s done with relationships. He’s over the crazies. Except fate had another plan for him.
Oxygen Deprived is one of those playful, all around entertaining reads with a few twists and a lot of drama. This book is absolutely hilarious! Lani Lynn Vale never fails to have me laughing until my stomach hurts. Drew and Aspen are perfect for each other. The tension between them is magnetic. Aspen is freaking insane and I love all of her crazy antics. I can’t say that I blame her for what she did in order to receive that ankle monitor and maybe that means I’ve got a little crazy in me as well. Honestly, Drew is just an all around sweetheart. I admired the way he handled his ex-wife when it came to their personal matters. It showed his patience even when he wanted to lose his temper. He really does know how to attract the crazies. The banter between Drew and Aspen is hysterical. I just couldn’t get enough of these two. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!


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.
