Say it Ain't So by Lani Lynn Vale

 

About the Book

He should’ve never left his house. He should’ve stayed at home. He has a legitimate excuse—he’s running a fever and he’s fairly sure he’s developing pneumonia. He should have called in sick…but he doesn’t.

He goes to work, because his team is relying on him.

First, he has to sign about eight thousand calendars—all from women who purchased said calendars to benefit the Fallen Officer fundraiser. And when he’s done with that, he has to endure a television interview along with the rest of the SWAT team seeing as they made national news with their ‘Hot SWAT’ calendar that’s sold a million copies to women all over the world.

Needless to say, when Samuel Adams walks into the pharmacy hours later, he only has one thing on his mind. Ibuprofen.

Sadly, he never gets to the Ibuprofen. Mostly because before he gets there, he finds a junkie waving a gun around threatening to kill anybody that moves.

He’s running a fever. That has to be the reason that the girl in the corner begins cursing up a storm and drawing the junkie’s attention. Has to be.

***

Stop it, stop it, stop it!

She tells herself to take a deep breath. Tells herself that she needs to calm down. Tells herself that if she doesn’t get her act under control, things are going to get ugly.

And, of course, that’s when the curse words start flying.

The more nervous she gets, the worse her Tourette’s becomes. Which is, of course, why she stands up and gives the man a perfect target.

Thank God that the coughing giant in the corner makes the same move and saves her life.

And how does she repay him? By calling him every awful word in the dictionary.

Thank you, Tourette’s.

So this story was just wow. It was so different than I expected and kinda dark. I am still reeling from reading this story. If you want a light read and to laugh well I would NOT read this story. But if you want romance, hot scenes and emotions well then this is the story. I seriously cried. Its a HUGE tearjerker and so many things I found just shocking.

This is Samuel Adams story. He is Miller and Mercy's son and we see a lot of them in this story. He is also cousin to Louis and all the other Spurlock's and he is part of the swat team. He is having a VERY bad day and I mean BAD. I cannot imagine a worse day.

He has the flu, has to go to work, sign calendars, have an interview, and runs out of medicine, he goes to buy some he gets held up and then it gets even worse. But its also the day he meets Hastings who runs and lives near his apartment on cop row. She is a new character that we might have seen in other books who has Tourette's and attended nursing school though in this book she manages the apartments and is a romance writer. She knows the wives of the cops but not super well and she doesn't know the men at all.

Samuel falls really hard for her but she has Tourette's and a romantic life has been very challenging for her so she doesn't believe he can be into her. So Samuel chases her a bit which I kinda adored. I fell in love with her as well. She is a strong and awesome woman and what she goes through in this story I cannot even imagine. I was utterly shocked at what Lani makes happen in this book and I am not spoiling. But I want to warm you that its very intense and will make you cry. I am still a little shell shocked from this story.

I loved Mercy in this story and you really see why Samuel is such an awesome guy, because how great his parents are. I loved how there Samuel's family was for her and how accepting of her she is. She fits in perfect with the swat kids and their families. The author did a wonderful job with this story and its a dark story. While I adored Hasty and Sammy together they face some challenges in this story.
