Blog Tour: Bang Switch By Lani Lynn Vale






Lachlan Downy was a lover, not a fighter.

Okay, he wouldn't lie, he was a fighter, too. But nobody had to know that. Especially not Memphis Tennessee Conner and her stuffy attitude when it came to cops and ‘men like him.’

Memphis knew cops. Her daddy was a cop. He was also the president of a motorcycle club. Needless to say, he’s about as alpha as they come, and she’s tired of overbearing men who think they know how to run her life better than she does.

So when Downy comes into her life running his smooth talking mouth, she realizes that she’ll have to stand strong against his pretty words and promises to give her what she needs.

Downy is determined, though.

He’s the hostage negotiator for KPD SWAT, and he’s never met a person, man or woman, he couldn't talk around into his way of thinking.

Although, Memphis is about to show him just how much he miscalculated.

Seems Downy may not be as smooth as he thought, and Memphis is just the girl to show him the error of his ways.
Bang Switch starts off with a bang literally and doesn’t stop the explosions until the very end.  I have come to love this author’s work so much that I just know that if I have been in a book funk that when I see one of her arcs on my kindle that my funk will be over with just the first beginning words.  Bang Switch was no exception.  I love these sexy alpha S.W.A.T. guys and each one gets better and better with each book. 

Downy and Memphis have chemistry from the first time he knocks her on her ass.  Memphis knows alpha protective men, her daddy is the President of a MC as well as a cop himself and she doesn’t want any of the headaches that come with a bossy alpha protective asshole male.  Especially one who keeps her awake banging his flavor of the week so hard that walls come crashing down.  Take a moment to reread that last part, it’s okay I will wait.  Did you read it?  Let me just say while it may or may not be Downy who causes said wall crashing, I would once like to be taken that hard that we cause structural destruction.  TMI? Yeah sorry but trust me you will laugh once you not just read that scene but everything that happens before and afterwards. 

Unfortunately for Downy stubborn strong willed females are nothing new to him, just take a look at his partner, she doesn’t like to listen either.  Oh did I forget to mention he is also the K9 officer and his partner is a dog?  Whoops well now you know and knowing is half the battle, GO JOE!  Yes I channeled my G.I. Joe references for that one.  Of course he does the typical alpha male asshole move and does something to not just piss Memphis off but could cost her being in his life cause man, big mistake, huge (said in my best Pretty Woman impersonation). You will have to see if his negotiator skills will work on this stubborn female, and let me warn you, you are in for a wild ride that Lani Lynn Vale is known for.

Okay all cartoon and movie references aside, Bang Switch continues to prove to me why Lani Lynn Vale will continue to be a go to author for me; not just for now but in the unforeseeable future as well.  If you are looking for a book that is so funny you will have tears from laughing, an  alpha male trying to tame a sassy stubborn female (both human and canine), a little suspense, a lot of action (both in and out of the bedroom) then add Bang Switch to you must read now lists.  









Just thinking about today and how I’d had to reschedule with the contractor was only one such instance when having predictable hours would’ve been more convenient.

Our shoulders bumped as we both stepped over a crack in the uneven walkway, causing her to look at me, and me to look at her.

“Sorry,” I muttered, trying as inconspicuously as I could to move my dick into a better position.

It was getting hard to walk with a semi-stiffy. Especially since I’d been fighting a losing battle with it all day long. I needed a good lay, and by the vibes pouring off of Memphis, I wouldn’t be getting it from her.

Not yet, anyway.

“Shouldn’t your dog be on a leash or something?” She asked suddenly.

I turned around to look for Mocha and laughed when she was nearly fifty yards back from where we were.

“Yes, probably. But she doesn’t like leashes,” I explained.

I could tell she rolled her eyes even though I couldn’t see her face.

“And your dog gets what she wants?” Memphis asked in surprise.

I nodded. “What my girl wants, my girl gets.”

I could practically see her mind whirling as something sat at the tip of her tongue, only waiting to be released.

She wanted to say something, but I could tell she didn’t want to say it. She lost the battle, though. Curiosity winning out over propriety.

“So what about your woman…does she gets what she wants?” Memphis asked suddenly.

I turned to look down at her, studying her facial features before saying, “My woman would get what she needs.”

She looked horrified, and I had to physically stop myself from smiling. She probably wouldn’t find her discomfort as funny as I did.

She looked discombobulated as she said, “I cannot believe you just said that!”

I snorted. “Why is that so hard to believe?”

“What about what she wants?” Memphis exclaimed.

I did lose my battle with laughter at her offended tone.

She crossed her arms, refusing to say anything more.

We turned around and walked the half-mile back to the apartment complex in silence. I could practically feel her anger simmering

Peter was now walking between us, I’m sure put there by an angered Memphis.

Mocha was now in front of us, her eyes scanning our surroundings as she moved.

I held the door open to the apartment complex once we arrived, and she walked inside, not offering me a thank you.

I smiled as she disappeared up the barely lit stairs. I followed closely behind her, making sure she felt me at her back, causing her to move all the faster.

When she came to a stop in the hallway, I reached into my pocket and withdrew the money from earlier.

Leaning in close, I slid my hand around her hip, moving it until my fingers were at the top of her ass so I could put the tip into her back pocket.

Making sure she felt the movement, I pressed my hard body into hers, pressing her against the wall beside her door.

“Here’s your tip,” I said, wiggling the money in her jeans before taking a step away from her.

It was hard. Both the actual act of moving and the state of my dick.

Her eyes were hooded, and I knew I had her. Not all the way…not yet. But I would. Soon.

“Goodnight, Memphis,” I said against the side of her head. My breath rustling her hair.

Then, turning my back to her, I walked slowly away.

When I had the door unlocked once again, I turned back to see her walking woodenly into her apartment.

Right when she got to where she was closing the door, I called her name, “Memphis!”

She stopped and opened the door slightly, poking her head out of the opening to look at me.

“When you’re ready to get what you need, and not what you think you want, come see me,” I said before closing the door to my own apartment.

“Wow, that was deep,” Miller said from the couch.

I flipped him off and walked away, not bothering to conceal the steep rod tenting up the front of my tactical pants.

Apparently, they needed to make a new weapon holder to keep my dick in check.

I had a feeling I’d be needing it for the next couple of weeks before I could convince her to give me a try.






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.

Review:Kevlar To My Vest By: Lani Lynn Vale (The Heroes Of Dixie Warden MC #3)

You’re the Kevlar…

Behind the badge and the pretty face was a heart. A heart that bled just like the rest. A heart that was so in love with Viddy Sheffield that it was humiliating. Trance had been burned before by a woman that couldn’t handle the fact that he risked his life each and every time he went on shift. She was too vulnerable; somehow he had to convince his heart to let her go. His life would chew her up and spit her out.

To My…

Viddy couldn’t get the man out of her head. Just the thought of Trance put a smile on her face. And when he walked into the same room? Words couldn’t explain. God help her, but she was even in a relationship with another man. She shouldn’t be thinking about the sexy biker with the voice that made shivers dance down her spine.

Vest…

Then the unthinkable happens, and the sexy cop she can’t stop thinking about is there for her, giving her what she never knew she needed. One moment in time, and she finds herself falling for the man, lock, stock, and barrel. The two of them have a lot of work to do to make this relationship succeed. What they didn’t know, however, was that there were people behind the scenes that were working to keep them apart. Sometimes the saying is true. You can’t always have what you want.


I really should just make this review short and sweet and say, Kevlar To My Vest is hilarious, sweet, and will make you believe that heroes are not only 2 legged but 4 legged as well, but if that was all I wrote you wouldn’t have any idea why I once again loved a book in this series. 

This time we have Trance and Viddy.  Trance is a K-9 officer, hence the 4 legged hero comment above, who has wanted Viddy since he first rescues her on the side of the road in the previous book.  Viddy is blind, but that doesn’t stop her from being a spitfire hell on wheels and Trance is hooked.  Trance is a bad ass K-9 officer, who also has a heart of gold.  He needs Viddy in his life, because while she worries about him and his job, she doesn’t nag him about it either.

Viddy may be blind, but that doesn’t stop her, nope, not one bit.  She is independent as they come and doesn’t want anyone to make a big deal about her loss of vision.  She also has wanted Trance but didn’t think he would want someone like her, but once both of their eyes are opened, you can feel the love that these two have for each other.  I didn’t have to worry about a weak heroine with her, nope even when she does have a breakdown she is anything but weak. 

Now I should probably state this because while I laughed so hard about Trance’s fear of flying that I woke up my 15 month old son, that unless I explained why it was so hilarious to me,  you would probably think I am insane.  My husband when he was in the Air Force (Trance was too), he was Security Forces (same as Trance), and was terrified to fly (just like Trance), I just kept picturing this certain scene in my head and even now I am giggling because I swear she based that off of my husband.  So for me at least I was able to really connect with this story because it reminded me of something personal in my life.  And trust me that one scene wasn’t the only funny part of the book, the entire thing will make you laugh, snicker, and possibly snort  while you are reading.


I feel like I am a broken record when it comes to stating how much I am loving these books, but I can’t help it.  It’s been a while since I have connected and been addicted to a series so quickly that I want everyone to give it a chance and see why I am recommending it to everyone.   I have been able to in some way connect with all of the characters, both male and female, whether it be because of a memory like the one I stated above, an attitude that reminds me of me and some of my friends or just the overall feeling that each book has left me with are the reasons why I love this series as much as I do.
