How About No (The Bear Bottom Guardians MC Book 3) Kindle Edition

How About No is the third book in the Bear Bottom Guardians MC series by Lani Lynn Vale. I love sitting down with Vale’s next book each month. She’s created this incredible fictional world, with interconnected stories and series and characters, and with each new book she releases, she builds upon those worlds. The result is a very unique reading experience, one that is distinctly Lani Lynn Vale. What makes this even more special, though, is the fact that she’s crafted these stories in such a way that new readers can ease in at any point and go forward—although, once they get started, they’ll be hooked and want to go back to see how it all began.Another hallmark of Vale’s storytelling is that she writes about everyday heroes. Police officers, firemen, paramedics – Lani writes them in such a natural and realistic way that her readers can’t help but fall for these good men. How About No is a second-chance romance and features police officer, Wade Johnson. He’s a good guy, a biker, and he is still deeply in love with his ex-wife. Landry Hill is a good woman with a heart of gold, but she’s got serious demons from the horrific childhood she endured. When she met Wade, she thought she’d finally found someone who would always choose her first, so when the opportunity came for him to do just that and he didn’t, it shattered what was left of her heart. The problem is that while they might be divorced, they still love each other, and that chemistry sizzles between them whenever they’re near each other.Vale crafted a story with so many twists and turns in How About No. I was literally on the edge of my seat for most of it, sometimes audibly gasping in surprise. Full of Vale’s fantastic sense of humor, a host of side characters whose stories I can’t wait to read, and a couple whose reconnection I was fully invested in from the first page, How About No is another winner in a series full of them.

Another Bear Bottom MC story, woohoo. This is a completely different type of MC and a refreshing change too, every time I read one of these stories I find myself totally engrossed in the wonderful characters and storyline. This book is no different!Landry met Wade Johnson when he helped his fellow police partner out by taking his class for the day. That meeting started things that led to their marriage, then divorce! However both were not happy!These two characters are fantastic together but this story really demonstrates how a stuffed up childhood can cause untold damage to someone later in life. As well how cruel and uncaring some parents are toward a particular child. The character development, as the story unfolds, enables us to get to know them at a much deeper level, especially with the story told from both of their perspectives. I will admit Landry did annoy me a tiny bit in the beginning but even she faced this herself.A true sense of family is felt in this story, the brothers pulling together to support first Wade then Landry. It really is is an amazing feeling when reading these scenes. There is also a healthy dose of fun banter and camaraderie which supports this brotherhood.This fast paced, easy to read story hooks you from the beginning and doesn’t let go until you have finished reading the very last word. This book is literally packed with loads of action, drama and there is certainly never a dull moment to be had at any time.I enjoyed the background mystery and mayhem that kept the characters on their toes and things hopping with some exciting and scary situations. However....the best part was the fantastic ending!

Landry Hill had a life where she was born and raised to be a convenience for her parents when they need her otherwise she was second best. The moment she got a chance she got away and went off to college where she met and fell in love with Wade Johnson. They married and should be having their happily ever after, however Wade takes a stance on something he knows nothing about and Landry serves him with divorce papers.Two years later Wade doesn't understand what the hell went wrong but he knows he wants his wife back. Things that he thought he knew turn out to be quite the opposite and Wade grabs at his second chance with Landry even if Landry is not to sure where it will lead.I had always put this one off because was not sure what the reason behind Wade and Landry splitting up was but boy I was not expecting what it turned out to be. You never doubt for a moment Wade and Landry's love for one another. Landry is a strong woman even when she doubts herself, she was a great heroine and I liked that this couple had real problems they worked through. Excellent, should have read sooner.

Wade and Landry have two years under their belts after their divorce. Neither one has really moved on, even though Wade believes that another man has taken his place in her life. When Wade discovers what prompted Landry to leave him and the true story of her childhood, he knows he needs another chance. As fate so happens to have it, he gets another chance to make things right with her.Landry knows that she may have acted too quickly, as that has been her style her whole life. I got why she needed him to put her first, but thought she should have at least explained about her childhood, etc. Keeping it inside did not do her any favors.It was interesting to see these two traverse the reconciliation phase. Landry knew Wade's friends had abandoned her and I gave her credit for pretty much letting it go. Their road to happiness had quite a few bumps to it. The craziness brought upon both of them by some a seriously delusional family was stunning.I did enjoy this book, even with all of the bad things that happened to both of them in it. Would highly recommend to anyone who has like Lani Lynn Vale's books before.

This is the first book in the series that I've read and I'll definitely be checking out the earlier ones.I really enjoyed the story and the characters even though they did infuriate me at times. I just wanted them to talk more but then I guess there wouldn't be a story. Wade and Landry's story is a second chance love story where neither have moved on. The reason for the break up is a recurring part of the book and I felt it was done really well.

Once again, Lani has managed to drag some tears out of me!Poor landry, to have experienced such trauma from such a young age. Yes it is fiction, but it still happens every day.To all the unwilling donors out there, my heart goes out to you all.Loved wade, love landry, loved how about no!

The guys are back and I couldn't be happier. This book pulls at your heart strings. What poor Landry has endured and given up. Wade the big tough guy never got over loosing her and finally gets a second chance only she doesn't make it easy

Fantastic as always

Yet another LLV book I love... A real page turner and an emotional read.
