Clap Back - Carter Brothers #4 - By Lani Lynn Vale (Auden and Maven)



BLURB

Being a twin is great.

What isn’t great is having the hots for the same woman your twin does.

Been there, done that, have the t-shirt.

Since Auden Carter made that mistake in his teens, he’d promised himself never to do that to his brother again.

Hence why he’s tried so hard to stay away from Maven, the sexy bakery owner that seems to have been put on this planet to tempt him.

After months of watching his brother never make a move, Auden’s had enough. He tells his twin to either shit or get off the pot. Only, come to find out, his twin was never on the pot. He’d never had the hots for Maven at all, but her cute little assistant.

Unfortunately, at this point, he’d done his level best to appear undesirable to Maven, and had gone out of his way to make it very clear that he wasn’t interested.

He has a lot of work to do to convince her that he’s not the guy he’d been acting like for the last few months.

Luck is on his side, though, and soon Maven needs his help, giving him the perfect opportunity to worm his way into her life…and her heart.

But that help she needs turns into a desperate plea for protection, and all he has to do is quit his beloved job to give it.
It’s not every day that you are in love with your boss’s daughter, who just so happens to be the chief of police of Dallas, Texas—your beloved police department that you’ve worked at for your entire career.

It’s also not every day when that boss pulls out every stop, and ruins your life to the point where you’re not sure you can find your way out of the downward spiral he’s forced upon you.

There is one thing Auden knows for certain, though. Maven is worth it. He’ll fight the chief of police, or the entire world, putting his life on the line to do it, as long as it keeps her safe.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a really fun and awesome story. I loved it from the beginning to the very end. It also had lots of surprises along the way which I am going to try really hard not to spoil.

I will say that I don't think the description of the book really does a good job describing this story. This is a book about good vs evil and friendship, love and family and sometimes that means the family we make not always the family we are born into.

Maven is a daughter of the chief of the police and runs a bakery. She has a cop brother that she fears and hates and a very bad step mother. Her father does not want her to run the bakery so he keeps shutting her down.

 Auden is very attracted to her and he thinks his twin has the hots for her until she shows her interest and who his brother has a thing for. I think this was one my top scenes in this book and was hysterical. I love Maven so much. She is a tough cookie but has a heart of gold. 

In a way this was a forbidden relationship because Auden is a cop and he works for her father. He does not want Maven dating Auden or anyone but his sidekick. So he tries to make Auden stay away from her. I really love Auden so much and especially his mom. She really shines in this book.
