My 4.5 Star Review:
Lani Lynn Vale does is every single time! She writes captivating, thrilling and emotional stories that leave me craving more! I also can’t stop thinking about her books. Many of them live rent free in my head. This 2 for 1 book is no exception.
You get an emotional, heartbreaking and heartwarming motorcycle club romance love story AND an emotional, sweet and spicy hockey, billionaire romance!
Dixie and Mary’s story ripped my heart out, patched it up and left me feeling so many things. Seriously have some tissues on hand. I can’t stop thinking about their beautiful, tragic and REAL story. You also get to see some past characters (Bayou & Pheobe, Hoax & Pru and more!) which I loved! I also loved the way Lani jumped back and forth in the past and present to share memories AND how she used different character POVs. Her skilled writing added so much to this story.
Jeremiah and Mirriam’s story was captivating and sweet. He’s a billionaire hockey player who has stayed away from women since they really only want his money. She’s a single mom currently living with her father who is a POS…she has nothing and is doing her best for her current situation. When he practically saves her and they have a cute meeting…the rest is history! They are cute, sweet and have a little spiciness. I wanted MORE of them it was so good.
Also, Jeremiah and Mirriam’s story has a fun connection to Dixie and Mary. Read to find out!
I DEVOURED this book in hours. I couldn’t put it down!

BLURB
Dixie + Mary
Dixie met Mary in a bar in the middle of nowhere. He knew the moment she served him “whatever the hell she wanted to” that she was the one.
That day, he takes her from her abusive life and gives her everything she’s ever wanted.
For thirty-one years, they’re married. For thirty-one years, he worships the ground she walks on. For thirty-one years, she makes him the happiest man on the planet.
They have babies. They lose babies. They laugh and they love. They’ve fought and they’ve struggled.
But nothing prepares him for the day she leaves him. The day that his life ends, and he goes on existing, waiting for the day that he can join her again.
Join Dixie as he remembers the love of his life in this heartbreaking story that speaks of love and loss and finally, a happily ever after.
Jeremiah + Merriam
Jeremiah Dixon has a way with words.
In the professional hockey world, he’s known as Mr. Suave. The man who always says the right thing and can charm the pants off of anyone.
Of course, when a damsel in distress falls into his arms after practice, he can’t stop himself from pursuing her. Who wouldn’t instantly fall in love with a woman who looked like Merriam Kennedy did?
She was beautiful, fierce, and everything he’s ever wanted in a woman.
They fall in love with each other over wings and beer. But before he can get her number, she leaves and takes his heart with her.
As luck would have it, he runs into her a few days later. She’s still as beautiful as ever, with a sizable bruise on her face and defeat haunting her eyes.
He tries to break through her walls, but she’s adamant that she can make it on her own.
Until, that is, her abusive father threatens her baby girl. Then she has no other choice but to run into a blizzard on Christmas Eve to escape him. And she knows just where to go.
To him. Jeremiah Dixon—the man that her heart and soul know is the one meant to fix all the broken things inside of her.
