Booth Pena definitely didn’t make the smartest of decisions when he was a teenager.
At eighteen, he knocked a girl up and signed up for the military all in the same day—signing his life away in more ways than one. Fast forward six weeks and he’s in bootcamp learning that he’s going to be a father while also learning that not only is he going to be deployed, but it’s going to stay that way for a year.
There weren’t a lot of things that the baby’s mother and he saw eye to eye on after that. He honestly wasn’t sure why he even slept with her in the first place.
Okay, that last part is a lie. He knows exactly why he slept with her. Because the real woman he’s in love with, her twin sister, Dillan, won’t give him the time of day.
Five years later, and he still wants her.
Now he’s home for good, being the best father and police officer that he can be, and still he’s not good enough.
***
Dillan Davidsdottir hated Booth Pena. Immensely.
She hated him because he slept with her sister, then left. Granted, she knew that he hadn’t meant to leave like he did, unknowingly and unconsciously leaving his son behind, but that didn’t change the fact that he had.
Five years later, and she still dislikes him just as much now as she did when he chose the wrong sister to take to his bed.
Maybe if he’d chosen her, her heart wouldn’t be broken, and his wouldn’t be untouchable.
But when a SWAT officer sees his life flash before his eyes, and decides that enough is enough, what’s a girl to do?
Give in, that’s what.

I love these hot men of the Swat Generation 2.0 series and Joke’s on You is a perfect addition to the series! It has all the action and excitement that we expect from a Lani Lynn Vale book with the bonus of lots of steamy moments to make for an exciting, swoon worthy read!
This book feels a bit like a second chance romance to me even though Booth and Dillion never actually had anything beyond friendship before. They had been friends for years but have both skirted around their mutual attraction towards each other. One night five years earlier changed their lives but now they have their chance to finally take this relationship where they both want it to go. But first Booth and the Swat team have to take care of the menace threatening Dillion.
I’m really not sure where to start with this review. I knew from the ending of the previous book that this would be one heck of a complicated story but I had no idea how much.
I had a hard time relating to Booth Pena and in fact it took me most of the book to warm up to him. I found and Dillan Davidsdottir easier to relate to, although truthfully I didn’t understand how she could be so forgiving.
We all make mistakes, it’s how we own up and deal with them that make a person.The fact that Booth slept with the love of his life’s twin sister Delanie (because he couldn’t have Dillan) really annoyed me.
Now he has returned and his feelings remain for Dillan. Can he convince her to finally give him a chance? Dillan is a strong and sassy woman, but I have no idea how she could forgive him. The relationship he has with Asa the result of his night of misguided passion was probably the redeeming factor for me with Booth.
This was a suspenseful, drama filled journey that Lani Lynn Vale lead us on as questions will be answered. Whilst not my favourite story from this author, it was well written.
