Beard Up {Book Review}

Title: Beard Up

Series: The Dixie Warden Rejects MC #6

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: MC Romance

Book Description:

Ghost [gohst] noun:  the soul of a dead person, a disembodied, vague, shadowy spirit wandering among or haunting living persons; a mere shadow or semblance; a trace.

That noun sums up Ghost and what his life has become with painful precision.  He is barely living, merely existing but never thriving. There wasn’t much that could pull him from the darkness he willingly inhabits…except one thing.  Her.

She is the reason he’s done what he’s done, and his life has become what it has become.

He haunts his former life, lurking in the background, surviving on occasional glimpses of the only thing good that is left in his miserable life. The horror he has inflicted upon her is nothing compared to the terror that waits for her when someone moves in to take her from him.

The thing about being stuck in the past is that it is like walking through life backwards. She is always looking back, so she doesn’t see what is happening in front of her. Unfortunately for her, it turns out that the ghosts of the past aren’t nearly as terrifying as the monsters of the future.

They say that true love is like a ghost, something that many talk about but few have seen. It’s a good thing for that, too, because he’ll need that element of surprise to protect her. Hopefully when the dust settles, he’ll be able to resurrect more than just himself.

My Review:

So this review is a little bit different and a little bit harder for me to write. For those of you haven't gotten the chance to read this book yet. I'm going to try not to give away who Ghost is and try not to give away to much of the book.

BUT YAY, YAY, YAY GHOST IS FINALLY HERE. We finally get to know the true identity of who Ghost really is. I have to admit I've kind of known who Ghost is since the beginning of this series, well at least in my head I've always known. If you've read since the beginning of this series and maybe an..... (oh wait that's saying to much). But anyway's there have been hints dropped here and there about who Ghost truly is.

I have to say even though in my head I pretty much had figured out who Ghost was, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book to find out if I was right or not. So when this landed on my kindle I was so excited and couldn't start reading it fast enough. Unfortunately though that's about where my excitement ends though.

I had been expecting for this story to be heart wrenching and emotional. But for me I just didn't get that feeling while reading this book.

Sure I really felt for Ghost and everything him and his wife had been put through. Sure Ghost's 'Parents' if you could even call them that made me disgusted ever time I read about them. Sure I understood Ghosts reasons for the decisions he made.

Ghost's wife, I felt for her I really did. I even cheered for her and how she has held herself together all these years, well at least for her daughter. But I kind of rolled my eyes at her reaction to finding out her husband was really alive.

While I found the book to be enjoyable, I did have some issues with some of the stuff in the story line. Some of it was just a bit unbelievable and just didn't make sense.

I'm giving this book 3.5 to 4 Stars out of 5!!!!
