Darby has always been ‘that’ guy.
The guy that no man, woman, or child wants around their loved one.
See, a long time ago he made some bad decisions. Those bad decisions have haunted him ever since. No matter what he does, people still see him as the town’s screw up. The boy that sold his soul to the Devil.
Years later, he’s turned himself around. Made amends and ultimately turned into a generally good guy. Only, it’s hard to act like a good guy when people still treat you like the old you, and not the new you.
Enter Waylynn Jennings.
Waylynn has watched Darby Valentine from afar for a very long time.
She’s witnessed the changes in him and knows the only reason he’s so mean is to protect the man that lies within. A battered, injured soul that deserves more than what he’s received. Even his own family takes him for granted.
She’s made it her new mission in life to prove to everyone that Darby isn’t the bad guy. That he’s a kind-hearted, sweet soul that’s just looking for a place to fit in.
Only, Darby is fairly sure that Waylynn is out to kill him, not help him. How else do you explain all the fights he’s having to break up on her behalf, or all the times he has to come to her rescue when she’s managed to put her cute little butt right in the middle of something where it shouldn’t be?
There’s obviously only one solution. He has to make her his. Then everyone will know not to mess with her.
Darby Valentine protects what’s his.
No matter what the cost.
MY REVIEW:
Man oh man, was it something seeing Darby all grown up, and an alpha in his own right!! Even though I should’ve known, I really had no idea how fierce and protective this Valentine was down to his core, but I guess it just took the right woman to bring it out in him, and Waylynn was absolutely the right woman for him.
I really think these two were like opposite sides of a coin, perfectly complimenting each other in every way. Interested in the same things, pursuing some of the same dreams, and loving the same values in life. Like I said, perfect together.
One thing I had a huge issue with, or should I say, one person- Waylynn’s father. He become persona non grata in my eyes, very quick. I couldn’t believe how he went from a well liked guy to someone I detested in a matter of pages. I wanted, no needed, him to have some Valentine justice handed to him, and I was a touch disappointed to see that it didn’t happen in the violent way I was craving, lol.
Anyway, I’m so happy to see that now all of our boys have their beautiful lives and women, and all rounded out in this series exactly as it should. And as sad as I am to see this amazing series put to bed, I’m always thrilled to see what new stuff Lani has on the horizon for us next.
