Review: Halligan to My Axe (The Heroes of the Dixie Wardens MC #2) by Lani Lynn Vale

You’re the Halligan...

Kettle had it all. Until he didn't.
He lost it all in a moment. One heart stopping, soul shattering moment, and there wasn't a single thing he could do about it.
From that day forward, he stayed away from relationships.
Then he responded to a possible fire and there she was, rocking his world when he didn't want it to be rocked.

To My...

Adeline was just a schoolteacher. She lived a boring life.
Until she stole something.
And it didn't have anything to do with the sexy firefighter’s heart.
Oh, she stole that, too, even if he didn't want it to be stolen.

Axe...

Kettle didn't realize just what kind of trouble Adeline was in until it nearly ripped her from his life.

There was no way anything was taking that away from him.
Not again.
One man was about to see up close and personal what fury looked like on the face of The Dixie Wardens MC’s enforcer.

Overall Rating:  4.5 Rockin’ ★★★★☆

In this second book in The Heroes of the Dixie Wardens MC, Ms. Vale unveils two more of her amazing characters. In book two you meet an eccentric school teacher and her moody alpha firefighter.  When our two main characters meet the saying where there is smoke there is fire is total fact! 

Save a fire truck…ride a fireman!

As a school teacher there are certain standards that you are supposed to up hold.  Setting a good example is one of those standards.  However, Adeline has a secret and she keeps them in her apartment!  So when she smells smoke coming from her bathroom, she panics like any good thief but still calls for help.  The help that arrives is a huge, hunky fireman that lights a fire inside Adeline.  Now what is a quirky teacher going to do with him? Get him to put out that fire anyway she can! It doesn’t take Adeline long to discover that her ‘fireman’ is her hot neighbor.  The same hottie she had been drooling over as he jogged by her apartment complex each day. Life is full of unexpected pleasures and also unexpected dangers!

 My girlfriend is an awesome HOT teacher! She puts the HOT in psychotic!

The moment he laid eyes on Adeline he was caught!  It didn’t matter that she owned a Boa Constrictor or she seemed a little strange.  She was his to protect, his to care for and just his. Now all he has to do is convince her that she belonged to him.  Kettle has secrets that he keeps hidden for everyone, including his MC Brothers.  Secrets that haunt him and have kept his heart encased in ice. As the club’s enforcer he has sworn his loyalty to his brothers and that loyalty will be called on to help him save Adeline and himself. Will he be able to keep Adeline safe?  Can he put his haunted past behind him and find a future with her?  All of this and more can be found in the remarkable book!
