Hail No Hail Raisers Book 1 edition by Lani Lynn Vale Romance eBooks
This is one of the few books I have ever bought because of a teaser I saw on FB. The teaser was awesome, and I expected such good things.Evander is paroled after serving four years for a crime he did not commit. He decides to go back to his home town where the only people who will give him the time of day are his few friends. After a few months at getting his life back on track he meets Kennedy. Kennedy is in town to be close to her twin sister she has been separated from for years because of her parent's divorce.
It is hard to put into words why this book didn't work for me. I didn't like the vibe. Besides Evander's friends - who are rather rough around the edges - I could not find one other nice person in this book outside of Van and Kennedy until the last few chapters. Kennedy is used and treated like a servant by her twin sister and her husband - and she just takes it. The town's people dump trash and other crap on Evander's lawn for 4 years while he is in prison and he just puts the cleanup on his To Do list.
Kennedy and Van do have some moments that I enjoy but rather few I would call tender. I saw a review today (after I bought/read) that characterized Kennedy as a doormat - that is spot on. For me Evander is simply picking up his life right where he left it the day before he went into prison. When we get to the sexy times aren't that sexy and lack emotion. Maybe a few of them can be thought of as "HOT" since they were outside the bedroom. Actually for me this couple lacks emotion, and they don't evoke any emotions from me. I have more emotions towards the townspeople - specifically their respective family and the veterinarian - and none of those emotions are tender.
This book is the first in a new series - so there seems to be a lot of set up for future books. I am not sure if this book is representative of the author's writing style, or the focus of this new series - I will not one-click from a teaser again - reviews from trusted friends will be checked out first.
I one clicked this one - and this is my honest review

Hail No Hail Raisers Book 1 edition by Lani Lynn Vale Romance eBooks Reviews
Hail No by Lani Lynn Vale is the first book in the Hail Raisers Series, and features the 2 main characters of Evander and Kennedy. It is told in dual POV, which I love, and has some small crossovers in the plot with some characters from some of this author's other series.
I loved these 2 together - Kennedy judges people on their actions, not by local gossip. She realises not long after meeting Evander that he is a good man, even though all the townsfolk think differently. She's a strong, slightly quirky character.
Evander has had a rough few years - and even though he just wants to be left alone he can't help but be drawn to Kennedy, and finds himself helping her on multiple occasions. Of course they are crazy attracted to each other, and there is some suspense in the storyline that leaves the reader wondering just what is going to happen next.
As a long-time Lani Lynn Vale fan, I’ve been anxious for the Hail Raisers series since the Hail brothers started popping up in her previous works. Vale started her writing career with a romantic suspense series about a covert group of men, working out of a mechanic garage, who also rescued women from abusive relationships and gave them the opportunity to start over. From that series came three MC romance series, a SWAT team series and another about firefighters and paramedics. She’s even branched out with a series about dragons and another about baseball players. Even though she’s written three best-selling MC romance series, readers shouldn’t mistake this series for one. Because while the Hail Raisers are a loosely organized group of pleasure bikers, Vale is clearly returning to her romantic suspense roots with this series, and I couldn’t be more excited.
Hail No starts off with a punch to the feels courtesy of a hero who broke my heart and a heroine that my heart went out to. Fresh out of prison for a crime that he didn’t commit, Evander is beaten down enough that he just accepts the scorn he receives from the residents of his hometown, Hostel, Texas. What he won’t accept, however, is his military service dog turned pet’s caregiver attempting to keep said dog when he returns from prison—a notion that the dog hilariously wasn’t willing to accept either. Van was so focused on not tainting the few people left in his life with his sullied reputation, that he almost missed on something truly special in Kennedy. He was such a strong, stoic character, and I ached for how isolated he felt.
Kennedy has never felt more alone. Following the death of her mother, she just wants somewhere to belong. Her mother’s deathbed confession rocked her world and sent her off in search of a father and two siblings she didn’t remember. They didn’t exactly welcome her with open arms, though, and were quite content to hold her at arms’ length before they eventually pushed her away. Even as she tried to start a life for herself in Hostel, fate seemed to have other plans for her. Just when she was about to throw in the towel, a big, bossy, sometimes silent savior stepped in and saved the day. The problem was that he was also intent on saving her from the judgment of others for merely associating with him. It took a series of mishaps, missteps and murders for Van to stop fighting the inevitable. The past seems poised to repeat itself, and Van scrambles to get to the bottom of who is behind it and why before it can drag him—and Kennedy—down again.
This was a couple that I couldn’t help but root for— they were just so sweet, so genuine and so sexy together, and I loved them together right from the start! I’m always excited for a book from Lani Lynn Vale, and I’ve never been disappointed with anything she’s ever written. I’m thrilled that this series is off to such fantastic start with what I believe is some Vale’s best writing to date. A twisting, turning, richly-developed suspense plot running in tandem with a red-hot romance and liberally sprinkled with Lani’s quirky sense of humor is a guaranteed hit for me. Five smooches for Hail No by Lani Lynn Vale from me!
