Title: Whiskey Neat
Series: Uncertain Saint's MC
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: MC Romance
Griffin Storm wasn’t prone to violence, but when someone takes what Griffin holds dear, the world as he knows it is gone.
Retaliation, revenge and rage fuels him. His MC, The Uncertain Saint’s, do their best to offer support, but Griffin is beyond redemption. He’ll do what he has to do. Kill who he has to kill.
He doesn’t care if that means he dies. If it gets him what he wants, then it’s worth it.
He fakes it all until the night he walks into a sex shop for batteries and lays eyes on a woman that will change his life.
Lenore makes him think past tomorrow. Makes him want to see just what the future might bring.
But his life’s a dangerous one built around pain and deception, and not for the faint of heart.
He won’t give up the past, not until he’s done what he promised to do.
And if that means she’s not there when the dust settles, he’ll risk it.
Lenore, though, won’t give up on him. She’ll fix him, whether he wants her to or not.
“Come on, Doogan,” I urged, giving his collar a tug.
Doogan didn’t budge, which was why I had a front row seat as a man sailed over the railing of Mr. Marshall’s porch, and landed about ten feet away from where I was standing.
“Oh, my God,” I breathed.
I didn’t move, though, because the man was suddenly surrounded.
Men in leather were everywhere…but the one man that held my attention was stomping down the porch steps and heading straight to the man on the ground.
Griffin, the man who’d bought batteries from me just two days ago, was well and truly pissed.
When his eyes swung to me, I didn’t know what to do.
Should I run?
Stay where I was?
Question after question barreled through my mind, leaving me shaking in fear…and something else I wasn’t ready to admit to just yet.
“Go home,” he ordered.
I blinked, looking to my left and right to be sure he was talking to me.
Since I didn’t see anyone else around me, I decided he was talking to me, but I just couldn’t get my legs to cooperate out of fear.
Not to mention that I would have to walk through the lot of them to get to my house.
When I didn’t move fast enough, he issued the order again, only this time it was biting.
“Go. Home,” he snapped.
I turned on my heel and started walking, coming to a sudden stop when Doogan still refused to move.
“Mother of God,” I whispered. “Come on Doog,” I whispered frantically. “Let’s go.”
He did move, just not in the correct direction.
No, he walked straight up to Griffin and licked his hand, a hand that was stuck out, not in invitation to approach, but instead to stop the dog from getting too close to him.
“Can’t you control your fuckin’ dog?” He grated out angrily.
Tears were stinging my eyes, because, by that point, I had the attention of not just Griffin, but the whole freakin’ lot of them.
My heart was beating frantically in my chest as they watched me, and I just knew that if I didn’t get the hell out of there I’d get the hell beaten out of me…or worse.
“Where do you live?” Griffin asked, taking a hold of Doogan’s leash.
It slipped from my hands, and I watched in helpless horror as it did.
And what did Doogan do?
He freakin’ followed him!
“Umm,” I whispered. “Three duplexes down from here.”
“Be back,” Griffin said as he took my hand in his free one and started to walk me back to my house.
The men returned their stares on the man they were circling, and I glanced over my shoulder just in time to see one of the big ones kick the poor guy on the ground next to his feet.
He didn’t say a word, and neither did I.
I was too scared.
What if he beat the shit out of me?
Raped me?
What if…
“I’m not going to hurt you,” Griffin growled, interrupting my inner diatribe.
“I know,” I lied.
He snorted. “Stop shaking. I said I wouldn’t harm you. I’m a cop.”
Yeah, but good cops didn’t beat the shit out of people in the dark of night.
4.5 stars
My first read by Lani, and I can't wait to read more.
This book had me sucked in from the beginning. Lenore is one alpha female. Well in a way. She is a bad ass. If she can catch the eye of a Texas Ranger when he wasn't looking then she is an alpha female.
Griffin is a bad ass too!! He is out for justice not only for himself but for those who were wronged. His MC club is a bunch of police officers. They seek justice in their own way.
The way Griffin and Lenore meet is out of this world. You wouldn't believe it. One chance encounter turned Lenore's life upside down. Little did she know she was healing Griffin.
Their banter with one another was great. The twists and turns this book took kept me glued to my kindle. When I woke up I wanted to read. I actually finished sitting in my car, while waiting for my boys to get out of school. The humor these two had, you knew they were a match made in heaven.
You will laugh, you will cry, oh you will cry. The story is one of a kind and it tears your heartstrings. I loved the ending, both Lenore and Griffin both deserved that.

This is the first book I have read by Lani Lynn Vale and it won't be my last.
Whiskey Neat is the book 1 in the Uncertain Saint's MC and if the rest follow this book it's going to be a brilliant series.
The Uncertain Saint's MC is a bunch of misfits with broken hearts or chips on their shoulders and they run together as well as doing their day jobs. They do what is needed to put wrongs right.
Griffin is a Texas Ranger who is also a member of the MC and he meets Lenore when he needs some batteries and her sex toy shop is the only place open, what follows is one of the funniest scenes I have read for a while.
Griffin wants payback for the event that changed his life 6 months ago and what he never expected was to find the light at the end of the tunnel in Lenore, she keeps him together and makes him think before he acts. Lenore has her own demons that she deals with daily but putting her energies into Griffin help her forget....
This book has drama, some hot sex scenes and some humor all whilst dealing with some tragic events. Griffin and Lenore are perfect for each other and I can't wait for the next book in the series.

ARC provided for an honest review
I was excited to read this book. The description had me hooked. This was my first book from this author so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
Griffin is a dark character, bent on an agenda of his own that revolves around revenge. Lenore is more timid, easy going, and almost introverted. They seem an odd match, but you can almost see why Lenore brings out the protective side of Griffin.
The flow of the story was hard to follow. There were parts where things were repeated, but changed slightly, almost as if one of the segments was meant to be deleted. It seemed choppy and disconnected. It seemed to lack any oomph or luster to the story. I think the plot had potential if it had been fleshed out a little better, and flowed with a little more connected transitions. Overall, I gave the book 3.5 stars.
I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 5, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.

Lies
Mig’s wife is a bitch.
How else do you describe a woman that lies, cheats and steals to get what she wants?
That’s exactly what happens when she traps him into a marriage he wants nothing to do with, saddling him with a kid that he knows doesn’t deserve to be in a world like his.
He’s doing a pretty bang-up job at ignoring everything but his responsibilities as a DEA officer and a member of The Uncertain Saints MC.
Then his neighbor knocks on his door, and everything he thought he knew is blown out the window.
Deceit
Annie teaches Mig that not every woman is out to get him.
Her love for Mig stretches past what’s appropriate for two friends, and Annie soon straddles that invisible boundary between appropriate and inappropriate.
Annie’s not a cheater, though.
When she tries to say goodbye, Mig won’t let her leave, and soon the tiny town of Uncertain blows up with the news of Annie and Mig’s innocent friendship.
Betrayal
Matters of the heart are foreign to Mig, and it takes Annie being gutted for him to see the wrong he’s done.
He waits too long, though, and Annie’s heart is broken.
She wants it all, or she wants nothing. She can’t take anymore half-hearted attempts at being just friends.
The heart wants what it wants, and it doesn’t take long for Mig to realize that.
But just when Mig finally has it all in the palm of his hand, his life is ripped to shreds by a new player in the game, and it takes all of Annie’s love and devotion, as well as help from the men of The Uncertain Saint’s MC, to put Mig back together again.
