Another Great Uncertain Saint’s MC Novel!
Uncertain is the perfect name for the setting of Lani Lynn Vale’s Uncertain Saint’s MC series. The description of this Texas town conjures up all kinds of nothing to do but get into trouble. It borders on the Caddo River, such a hotbed of illegal trafficking in drugs and guns that the DEA and the Texas Rangers have men permanently stationed in this blip on the map. And, it’s these very men as well as other law enforcement types, who make up the rather small Uncertain Saint’s MC. Each man has a unique and mostly tragic personal history. Which always makes for a good story. It’s also what brought them together in the first place, forming the MC primarily as a coping and bonding vehicle. Lest you think these guys sit around and shoot the shit over Cosmo’s while braiding each other’s hair, think again. The Uncertain Saint’s are notorious for serving up their own brand of justice to the scumbags who have skirted around the legal system.
Ms. Vale gave us a few hints in Whiskey Neat as to who the characters would be in this one so I was excited for Jack & Coke. If you’ve read Whiskey Neat you will remember spunky Lenore, owner of the one and only sex toy shop in town. If you haven’t read Whiskey Neat you need to get on that. So…Lenore’s shop is next door to a salon owned by Annie. The two gals became fast friends in Whiskey Neat, which exposed Annie to the guys in the MC. By way of association, not in the dirty way your mind just pictured. When last we saw Annie, she was pondering the hotness of one Uncertain Saint’s brother named Mig. Cue the story of Annie and Mig.
Mig is an honorable guy. Even though his wife defines the words conniving, underhanded, bitch, he’d committed to seeing this marriage through for one reason. She’s carrying his baby. He doesn’t love Jennifer. He doesn’t even like her. And the way she trapped him into marrying her was pretty damn despicable. Mig knows what it’s like to grow up with parents who hate each other and it’s not anything he wants to subject his own child to. He’s finally realized there’s no way in hell he’ll be able to continue this sham. So, as soon as his son or daughter is born, he’s divorcing this shrew. Hopefully, it won’t be too late to pursue the woman he really wants in his life. Annie. His next door neighbor is adorable, sweet, kind, funny, and has a body made for…you get the picture. It’s torture seeing her every day, knowing he can’t have her. Especially since she kicked her no-good husband to the curb.
Annie has no regrets about divorcing her scumbag husband. She knew better than to settle, but she’s not one to dwell on her mistakes. She should get back out in the dating pool but the one man she really wants is married. Which is a mystery to her because from what she sees (not that she snoops or anything) they sure don’t look happy with each other. When Lenore tricks her into going to the MC clubhouse one night, Annie learns the sordid but true story of why Mig and Jennifer got married. Mystery solved. And when Mig up and walks out on Jennifer (after he’s had it up to here with her shit) and files for annulment, Annie doesn’t feel bad one little bit.
That, my friends, is the simple version of how Annie and Mig get together. There’s a whole lot of juicy stuff around the edges and in the middle of their story. Juicy stuff like bad guys involved in drug deals that Annie innocently stumbles into, threatening notes left with dead bodies, Mig going all caveman to protect Annie from harm, shocking surprises that will…well, shock the pants off you. And juicy stuff like Mig and Annie devouring each other in uncontrollable lust, which is my personal favorite kind of juicy stuff.
He examined the dildo in his hand, then looked back at me with amusement.
“It’s not mine,” I said.
He grinned.
“What kind were you using last night? Do you know that I have your apartment wired? I heard every single moan,” he moved closer. “Every single sigh.” Closer still. “And every single time you called my name.”
By the time he was finished, he had me backed up against the door.
His lower body pinned mine to the door, and I bit my lip as I felt every single inch of him.
Steel hard.
Lani Lynn Vale once again gives us a fast-paced, wild ride that hits the ground running and doesn’t stop until The End. I love that she packs so much action and suspense into the books in this series. I love these Uncertain Saint’s MC men even though I always want to smack them upside the head when they say, “I’m no good for you. We can’t be together anymore.” Sure, some of it is a bit over the top. But it’s entertaining as hell, sexy as all get out, and laugh out loud funny. Jack & Coke is another winner, and I can’t wait for the next book! OH, and you’ll just adore the bit about the baby!
