Blurb: Patty

I was the head of the Irish mob in Chicago. That got me very few friends and even more enemies. With the DEA breathing down my neck, figuring out who’s hijacking my shipments of merchandise is made all that much harder. It’s not until Danny was kidnapped that I learned I had more friends than I thought I did. I just didn’t know if we could rescue Danny before he became a victim to someone’s plot to get to me.

Danny

Patty Flannigan has been my hero since he rescued me from the streets when I was a teenager. Over the years, that hero worship turned into something stronger. I’ve watched a string of boy toys move through Patty’s life at an alarming rate and I didn’t want to become just another notch on his bedpost. I wanted something more meaningful but proving to Patty I could be an asset to him became harder than I was prepared for when I was kidnapped in a plot to get to Patty.

Review: Each book in the Hot Mess: Friends & Family collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc I would suggest reading them in sequential order. I would suggest you start with the Hot Mess collection as it will give you a idea on some of the characters you will meet in this series.

The fourth horseman of the apocalypse has finally appeared. Danny’s father passed away, his mother was a hard core drug addict and his foster family were evil. He ran away and was living on the streets at the age of fifteen. He had been rescued and brought in by a man he adored. The man was also the head of the Irish Mob.

Patty has seen some crazy things in his life although I would say Lany was the craziest. He was the head of the Irish Mob and had many rules to follow. He never dealt in drugs or girls. He wasn’t clean cut but it would be hard to prove anything. He rescued a young boy from the streets and pretty much protected him. Now here he was trying to keep him safe and falling in love.

I will admit that out of all the contemporary romance stories I have read, this series and the one it is connect to are probably my favorites. There is a serious tone to them but they have so much humor in them that parts of the story will have you laughing your ass off. They are told with such a flare that you are not wanting to put the story down. I loved the characters and everything about them. I was glad that Patty got his head out of his ass though.

I am so glad that Lany’s friends are meeting the ones they will love forever. I do hope that I will see more of them in the future stories. I can’t wait for Vinnie to get his happy ever after though.

I can guarantee that this is one of those stories that will be read many times over.

Blurb: Clarke

Officer Lyn Philips was too young for me, too inexperienced, and too naive for the things I wanted to do to him. Staying away from him was imperative, but it might take more control than I possessed. When Lyn is threatened, all bets are off.

Lyn

The man I wanted to create a life with didn’t want that life, or me. After waiting an eternity for Sgt. Victor Clarke to make up his mind whether he wanted me or not, I decided to create the life I wanted, even if the man I was in love with wasn’t going to be in it.

When the carefully constructed life I had created was threatened, I had no choice but to call in the SWAT team, even if it meant letting Clarke back into my world. I just hoped I could let him go when the time came, because I knew it would. Clarke had made it more than clear that he didn’t want me and nothing would change that, not even a threat on my life.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This story is branched off of the original Hot Mess so I would start reading those books first.

It is about time is all I have got to say about these two. Each time they look at each other it was like fire burning you to a crisp. Lyn has wanted and loved Clarke for over ten years but the man never made a move. In fact he said the opposite but now Lyn was done. He wanted to start over. To bad starting over has sent danger his way.

Clarke loved Lyn just as much as Lyn loved him, but his fear out weighed the rest. To him Lyn was close to perfect. Where as Clarke was hard as nails. He didn’t want to ever hurt the man but his way wasn’t working. Then when Lyn gets himself into danger, well lets say that his brains have caught up with his heart.

I think that this story and the series that it is connected to are probably my favorites from this author. It is well told and the characters are just about as sexy as one gets. Danger filled, sexy times, quirky attitudes and you get to see Lany in parts of it are just a few things in this story. It caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end.

I can guarantee that this story will be read many times over. I just love the guys and the troubles they get into. I would definitely recommend this story and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next story.

It was the Christmas season and I wanted to make it special. We’d been through a lot lately and we needed something to remind us of how wonderful our life was. It really sucked that there were forces working against my happy little holiday. When someone starts stalking me, planning for Christmas pales in comparison to keeping my family safe. But the Christmas season was a time for family and I’d be damned if I let someone mess with mine.

Salvador

Lany was the hot mess in our relationship, so it was surprising when I ended up being the one injured in a stupid accident. Having to rely on Lany and the kids to save me wasn’t something I was accustomed to. When forces beyond our control interrupt our holiday plans, being injured hampers my ability to protect my family. But the Christmas season was a time for family and I’d be damned if I let someone mess with mine.

Review: This is one of those series that must be read in order.

Wow, this is a frist for Lany. When everyone decides to go Christmas tree shopping, Sal gets injured and it is up to Lany to save the day. However it you know Lany, lets just say danger is his middle name.

This is one of the only series that are connected with the same main characters that I truly love. The characters are truly a sight to be seen and you can’t help but love the quirky guys.

This story has quite a bit of heart ache in it and I wanted to beat the tar out of Sal. There is some pretty awesome twists and turns that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat.

I had a blast reading this book and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Blurb: Lany

Life doesn’t always ask us what we want. I knew that was true when Sal announced he wanted a divorce. I was devastated, especially considering I had no idea why, and he refused to speak to me except through his lawyer. When my world continued to go to hell, I had to wonder if someone had it out for me.

Salvador

Life doesn’t always ask us what we want. I knew this was true when someone sent me undeniable proof that Lany had been sleeping around on me. I was devastated, especially considering I had the proof on video. When my world continued to go to hell, I had to wonder if someone had it out for me.

Review: This is one of those series that must be read in order.

Lany and Sal are the perfect couple, loving, gentle and just plain sexy together. They almost have enough kids to start their own basketball team. But when Sal comes home demanding a divorce it pretty much destroys Lany. He has no clue what is going on and lets face it when he does he is going to hand Sal his balls for breakfast.

Sal is loosing his mind. He has received letters, pictures and video of his sweet sexy man cheating on him. In his eyes that is betrayal and divorce. However he needs better eyes considering he is SWAT or he would have seen the truth.

This is one of the only series that are connected with the same main characters that I truly love. The characters are truly a sight to be seen and you can’t help but love the quirky guys. This story has quite a bit of heart ache in it and I wanted to beat the tar out of Sal. There is some pretty awesome twists and turns that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat.

I had a blast reading this book and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Blurb: Salvador

I’d become quite experienced at keeping my hot little mess out of trouble over the years, but when danger comes from an unknown source, keeping Lany safe might take more than a miracle. It’ll take my entire SWAT team and every friend we have. Someone is out to get my love, and not even he knows who it is this time.

Lany

I wanted to roll my eyes. Sal freaked every time I stubbed a toe, let alone got shot at. You’d think the sexy SWAT commander would’ve grown used to it over the years. It wasn’t like I planned this stuff. It just sort of happened. I just wished it happened a little less. This was getting embarrassing.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Hot Mess collection features our very own two sexy men of all time, Lany and Sal. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. It is the best way to see what trouble can find Lany or what trouble Lany can find.

Now they are the fathers of six children and damn if they were not good at it. Of course you have two guys that are best friends with a federal agent, blood bonded to two mafia leaders, best friends with a friend who just so happens to be one of those mafia leaders nephew and so on. Sal is the head of the number one SWAT team. If there is trouble to be found Lany can and usually does find it. Just don’t let him near a car, ask the elephant. Now the whole family is going on vacation. The trouble is there is always trouble.

My day always gets better when I get a story about Lany and Sal. It just seems to brighten my mood even better. As always this book can and did catch my attention as well as kept it through the entire book. I can guarantee that this is one of those stories that will be read many times over. So much so that I am ready to read it again right now. It is action pact, danger filled, excitement overload, funny as hell and lets not forget the hot sexy times in this story and so much more.

The author just has this gift at giving you a story that will keep you entertained and make you laugh pretty much throughout. I just hope that Lany and Sal’s stories just keep coming, I never want them to stop. They give me everything I could possibly want and so much more. It has quite a bit of depth and heat to it that just makes it even better. I do hope that our two sexy swat team members get their stories as well.

I can guarantee that you will get a kick out of this story. I would definitely recommend it.

Salvador: I loved Lany to the depths of my soul, but the messes he got into made me want to wrap my fingers around his pretty little neck. This last one might be the top of the list.

Review: Each book in the Hot Mess collection features our two sexy men, Salvador and Lany. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.

Lany doesn’t need to look for trouble, trouble seems to find him. In this case, he decided to arrange a party for children that don’t truly have a home or family. What he finds is children who are in need of help, the kind of help his husband is good for.

Sal loves his husband deeply but for once couldn’t he just stay safe. Oh no he finds some kids, which leads him to a very dark scene where his talent will help. There is one thing he can say, Lany always seems to get himself out of trouble, but these kids need both of them and more.

I have always gotten a kick out of this series and can’t seem to get them fast enough. Which is pretty weird for me, once the same characters have gone into the third book I am usually bored as hell. But not with this series, it is entertaining, exciting, adventurous and funny as hell at times. There is always danger and some pretty hot sexy times for our two sexy men. As always this story caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me everything I could want in a story.

I hope this series doesn’t stop, they have me laughing my ass off throughout the story. Although there are some times I want to smack someone around.

I had a blast reading this and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Blurb: Lany
I had once thought that my life was the comic relief for the universe. Today, I was positive I had been right in my line of thinking. It was the only way to explain how I ended up sitting on the floor of my favorite Thai restaurant, surrounded by armed men and hostages.
It was my anniversary after all.

Salvador
I wanted to go to Lany the moment I stepped into the Thai Rose and saw him kneeling on the floor next to Eddie, but dealing with the people threatening him with guns came first. I didn’t want him in the line of fire if trouble started. Of course, knowing Lany’s luck, just being on the same city block put him in the line of fire.
He was a hot mess.

Review: Each book in the Hot Mess collection features our very own sexy duo, Lany and Sal. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.   

I came across Stormy Glenn a few years ago and have been amazed by her stories.  I am always on the lookout for when she has a new one coming out.  Now I have to admit that I am not a fan of all her stories, but this series rocks.  I love the characters quite a bit and they are probably the only couple that I can read in different books. I have never been a fan of the same character in multiple books.  For some reason they just get boring and dull, but Lany never could do that.

Once again it is our fascinating duo’s anniversary coming up.  However this time Lany is not taking any chances.  However for Lany trouble always seems to find him.  Thank goodness for his sexy swat husband coming to the rescue.  Although I am not sure of the elephant, he might have asked for that one.  

It is a very entertaining tale that just keeps giving me laughter.  It is the perfect story to brighten your day and let’s face it there is nothing hotter than a man with a gun, well one on the right side that is.  He has the bad boy looks, a fierce love for Lany, speaks sexy Italian and can’t cook.  What more could a guy ask for.  Well let’s see hostage situations, the mob saving the day, a sexy cop, two best friends and a couple of cute baby girls.  

I love reading this series and cannot wait to see what trouble Lany gets into next.  I would definitely recommend reading this series.  Trust me you will get a kick out of it.

Blurb: Two years ago, to the night, my world changed when Lt. Salvador Delvecchio rescued me from a beat down and decided I belonged to him. A year ago, he changed my life once again when he asked me to marry him. We were soul mates, which was why I was so confused that Sal wasn’t there to celebrate our anniversary.

As I sat there alone, waiting on Sal, I had to wonder if the things in life I found important, were important to Sal.

Two years ago, to the night, I found the man of my dreams and rescued him from a beat down. I grabbed onto him and refused to let go. I knew he felt the same when he agreed to marry me a year later. Lany would do everything to be with me, which was why I was so confused when he didn’t come right to the hospital when he learned of my injuries.

As I sat there alone, waiting on Lany, I had to wonder if the things in life I found important, were important to Lany.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review:  Now seeing as this series is all about our sexy Lany and his Sal, I would suggest starting with book one.  Trust me you have got to find out how these two met, and how they got to be where they are at now.  Also see what trouble our cute Lany can get into, however do not let that man drive your car.

Lany and Sal have been together for two years, and it is their anniversary.  Now Lany has the night planned, but once again Sal is late.  Lany is going to kick his ass.  Well that is until he finds out that Sal is in the hospital.  You would think being a cop that the man would know how to duck or roll.  The moment going into the hospital gives him and Sal even more surprises that are in store for them.

Sexy men, a man with a gun, major drama, bad dudes, suspense and rescuing Lany is all in this book plus so much more.  A brother long ago lost to Sal due to his parents, a baby boy nephew he didn’t know he had and some evil parents, if I was them I would have ran for cover.  Just give Lany a good old fashion skillet, and if you want to know more pick up the book.

I love these guys, they are so much fun to read about it and the sass is always flowing from Lany.  Who needs a gun with this guy is around.  Trouble magnet and well you can guess what I was going to say next.  I had a lot of fun reading this and look forward to the next book.  I usually can’t stand a book where the main characters are the main characters throughout the series, but when it is these two guys I am going to be right there to grab it. 

Stormy is one hell of an amazing author.
