Review: Spicy Disaster - Lani Lynn Vale

Spicy Disaster by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars                                                                                         

Spicy Disaster by Lani Lynn Vale is book 6 in the Don’t Date Him series and focuses on the characters Odin and Constance. Constance is a single mother raising her young child Mary who has medical issues which means that she needs constant blood transfusions. Having been allocated to jury duty she comes across another juror, Odin.  

Odin had to give up his whole life and appearance when he committed a crime and was relocated. Having to give up his career as a doctor, he has been whiling his time away being a donor recipient for Constance's child (not that she knows) and when he is thrown into her path due to jury duty, things get complicated, especially when it seems that Constance doesn't like him because of her past history with motorcycle clubs. 

I liked that both characters were surly to begin with, especially with each other and that it took a while for us to get into the romance of the book. There was certainly some pettiness from Constance which at times was hilarious. Both characters have complicated pasts which comes to light slowly throughout the book. We see what Odin did and why he was punished but you feel sympathy for him and the journey he has had to take.  

I also liked that this book had a little bit of mystery thrown into it too which kept you guessing on what was happening. Overall, this was another great addition to the series. 

ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊

BLURB

Everyone talks about finding the one that makes their heart skip a beat.

Personally, I’m not looking to develop any heart problems.

I definitely don’t have to worry about developing any when it comes to the one man who knows how to get on my every nerve.

Odin Mayer is the most offensive, black-hearted, no-good, very-bad, surliest man I’d ever met.

He was Grumpy with a capital G, a biker to boot, and never missed a chance to make me see red.

Just as I’m convinced there’s no good side to Odin, he shows me differently, saving me when I didn’t ask him to.

And, of course, I have to spend the next few weeks with him after we both get chosen for the same trial to perform our civic duty.

Jury duty was not on my Bingo card.

Nor was falling for the jerkoff.

But there I was, somehow lingering in the middle space between fuck you and I want to fuck you.

Odin knew what he was doing, too.

Teasing and taunting me at every turn.

Then he had to go out of his way to be a hero, and I forgot that I was supposed to stay away.
