5 Kinds of Wonderful!!! Love Love Love!
Love me some Hop and Laney!
“Please be real,” I whispered. “Feel this.” He gave me a squeeze. “I’m real, Lanie.” I drew in breath, drawing him in, then I pulled back and looked at him. “Okay, then I won’t let you go but I will say good night.”
It’s no secret, that I am a HUGE KA fan, sure her work has changed over the years but I can’t imagine it not changing, there can only ever be one Tack, one Hawk, one Tate, one Cal and now I get to add Hop to the never-ending list (or at least I like to believe it will never end.)The Chaos series up to now are really all about the couples there is no suspense, no major plot, it is just him and her and how they make it all work out. What’s it about, it’s real simple, it’s about "… two people just so shit scared of the love they feel for each other, they’d rather drive each other away than take a risk on feeling the fullness of that feeling."Hop was the ultimate sweetie-alpha-biker, holy cow, how can someone so big and gruff be sweet and do it in a total alpha way ?!? Lanie was high class, the polar opposite from a biker, but what I loved about her was it didn’t matter to her what you wore, what you drove, all that mattered to Lanie was who you were as a person. She fought for what she believed in and loved with her whole heart, “Her dead old man was a moron and she’d paid for his shit in the worst way she could. Her loyalty had bought her nothing but pain, bullet wounds, and heartache.” Years of not having a man and in need of an orgasm, Lanie doesn’t want a relationship, she wants just one night
"...no complications, Hop. Just you and me and tonight. Tomorrow, I won’t expect flowers. I won’t expect a belated courtesy date. I won’t even expect you to take me out for a cup of coffee. This isn’t about that. I don’t even want that. I just want you and sex. No expectations. Nothing but what we have tonight,"
But we all know one night is never enough, especially when it's as good and pure as thisHop knows that Lanie is dealing with a lot of shit, there is no way that anyone could go through what she went through without some demons, luckily for her he decided he likes what he sees and he’s willing to protect her even if it’s from herself
“No, babe, so goddamned blind, purposefully, you’re stumblin’, bumpin’ into shit, but barrelin’ ahead anyway, bound for a world of hurt.”
Months they have been keeping their relationship a secret, Lanie won’t commit herself to be claimed as an old lady. She can’t go through the hurt again, she needs to protect herself and if pushing away her safe haven is what it takes than she has no choice. Lanie has a flair for drama and when she finds things out that are a hard limit for her, she takes the easy way out and doesn't even give him a chance to explain. Hop won’t let it go that easily, he makes sure she knows what she’s missing letting her know it was her choice .You just gotta read it, Hop is totally swoon worthy, and even more stubborn than Lanie. She never had a chance, even before that first night, she was his.Another beautiful KA story, it seems that the Chaos novels are building up to become something huge. Seriously can’t get enough of these bad boys! Not to mention when KA name drops some of her other alpha hotties, you can’t help that flutter in your belly, because you know what they gave you and it’s something only KA has managed to never fail to deliver.
"... I’m gonna give it to you. Never had class. Never had beauty. I’ll repeat, never… had… class. I’m not gonna fuck over Cherry, who I care about, or Tack, who’s my brother, and I know you don’t wanna do that either, so this is what we got for as long as it’s good. But it’s a clean, pure beauty the like I’ve never had, I’m gonna respect it like I feel like I gotta and you’re gonna let me."
