Ryker Falls (book 8): We Found Love by Lani Blake

Beauty and the tormented beast

Ford Winter, the oldest, and, according to his siblings, ugliest, is a man with carefully hidden secrets. Outwardly relaxed, laid back, and happy with life on his family’s ranch, Ford takes comfort in the daily rhythms of his life. Under the surface, however, he is battling with the demons of something he will never share with anyone.

Business takes him from his hometown, and when he finds a desperate woman standing outside his hotel room, clearly in pain, he does what he does best. Steps in to help her. What he doesn’t realize is that life as he knows it, from that moment, is about to change after their encounter.

Autumn Harris, the sweet new teacher in town, and woman he rescued, is a single mother and way too nice for the likes of him. He doesn’t want nice and sweet, or a relationship, because at night, when the door to his room is closed, often Ford’s life changes for the worst. Plagued with nightmares from an event that changed his life, he never wants anyone to see his demons. Especially Autumn.

Can their demons be tamed?

Autumn desperately needs a life change, both for herself and her son, Ritchie. So, when she reads about a teaching position in Ryker Falls, Colorado, she jumps at the chance. Finally, she can escape the man who had once held her heart. A man who thinks he can still be part of their lives, despite Autumn’s protests.

The Ryker Falls community welcome her and Ritchie, wrapping them in a secure blanket of love and support. After the hell that she’s come from, it’s like the best kind of dream come true. Right up until the day she walks into Ford Winter again. He’s the man who tenderly looked after her, the man who showed her such gentle kindness when she’d no one else to turn to. The tall, imposing rancher with the easy smile but shadowed eyes.

Autumn senses something is off with Ford. Something dark is plaguing him, his unspoken demons obvious in his manner and rejection. Autumn is both scared yet drawn to an inward struggle she well recognizes, but also knows her heart can never be truly his. Not when she has so much at stake to lose.

Can Ford and Autumn heal each other, or will the past that comes calling and stop them from finding a future together?

My Review: 5/5 Stars

We have finally made it to the last Ryker Falls book! At least that is what it seems like seeing as all our favorite characters are finally in relationships. But in no way is it the end of that world. Not with these new characters and new town we are brought to. Plus the end note introducing a new book! But let's back up to Ford and Autumn. These two were such a great pair. Ford has kept a pretty big secret from his family for a long time. An incident back in college that scarred him in so many ways. But he kept it to himself because of what his family was going through at the time and felt it was up to him to protect them. But years later, he is still facing the aftermath with nightmares that leave him unable to sleep through the night. And now, his family are starting to realize that something is off and won't let up until he tells them the truth. And then he meets Autumn on a business trip and becomes her knight in shining armor. Not realizing that their paths would cross again so soon. And Ford starts to realize exactly how his siblings and friends have fallen in love so quick. For Autumn, she came to Ryker Falls with her young son to get away with her toxic ex. She has a job as a schoolteacher and is learning what it is like to be supported in this close knit community. And when she sees the man who helped her when she was ill, she can't help but feel a connection with him. Both will have a lot to face in terms of their pasts, good and bad, before they can truly find their way to one another. Loved their story! I couldn't put it down as per usual when it comes to these books. The characters are always fantastic and so different from one another. We had a lot of twists and turns in this story. Along with some great romance and action. I'm looking forward to the next book from Lani!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Ranger Pride Icon Batches #6🏳️‍🌈

Blake, Carter, Lani and Kimberly

(Free to use)

[ourpickwickclub]

I thought someone would bring this up. Every entertainment shows( Extra,Access, Entertainment Tonight, etc) showed Gwen & Blake performance and not ML . If you did not watched the show, the highlights from the ACM that were being reported are 1. Dua Lipa& Chris , 2. Gwen & Blake, 3. Post, 4. Laniely, and 5.Jelly Roll. ML barely gets mentioned only for her red carpet appearance with husband and that it. No one mention her performance of Wrangler. It could be why her team is so desperate because Gwen & Blake swallow all the attention

I think Blake and Gwen got the most engagement across all platforms, honestly.

Dozens of Songs Tag Game

I was tagged by the lovely @thebiwifeonao3 for the dozens of songs tag game!!! Here’s how to play. Also I’m sorry for how much M*A*S*H is on this.

step one:

so here's the game: 12 songs you've recently listened to (include a lyric that you like maybe), 12 ships (can be solo or platonic, dw) (hard mode: from 12 fandoms???) that the songs loosely make you think of, & tag 12 people to do the same.

easy mode: do half a dozen instead idk

here's a fun idea: you could even listen to the playlist from the person who tagged you to use some/all of their song picks!!

step two:

whether you've been tagged or not, you can send an ask with the song & pairing and create a work based on the idea. And the theme of 12 is fun so could be 12 characters, words, paragraphs, chapters, anything!

profit!!! (have fun & maybe end up reading some new fic!)

End-of-year book ask: 3, 9, 13, 22, 24

3. What were your top five books of the year?

evil question EVIL QUESTION ugh okay let's try, in no particular order:

I Keep My Exoskeletons To Myself, Marisa Crane; a raw and tender exploration of grief and parenthood through a queer lens, with a dystopian backdrop. The only thing close to litfic I've ever read and liked.

The Spirit Bares Its Teeth, Andrew Joseph White & A Study in Drowning, Ava Reid; these two are inextricable to me because they're both deep explorations of womanhood/girlhood and illness and gender and breaking it all apart. Both of these books made me cry and I want to do an extremely close study of them and their themes together at some point.

Some Desperate Glory, Emily Tesh; second only to Hell Followed With Us in its incisive, clear commentary on cult thinking, fascism, and deconstruction. Also things happen with the plot that I did not even remotely see coming and they were amazing. This book made me rabid.

The Saint of Bright Doors, Vajra Chandrasekera; a radiant exploration of so much that's hard for me to put into words so just go read my storygraph review.

Honorable mention to Judas, a comic by Jakub Rebelka and Jeff Loveness that made me scream and and wail and weep and cry and howl with the beauty, symbolism, and artistry of word and art.

9. Did you get into any new genres?

Not really! I've continued playing around with reading horror, and trying to read more sci-fi but nothing truly new to me no.

13. What were your least favorite books of the year?

Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson, which became one of my worst books of the year in, I am not kidding, the very last sentence. Made me so mad I probably won't even read the sequel. Why did she do that!?

The Wolf and the Sparrow by Isabelle Adler, an extremely boring "enemies" to lovers political marriage book that made my eyes glaze over.

The Tywford Code, Janice Hallett, a book I really looked forward to after reading The Appeal but that truly did not deliver. Mostly confusing, I ended up skipping multiple chapters and feeling like I had missed absolutely nothing, which is always a terrible sign.

22. What’s the longest book you read?

Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey, which I read while feeling miserable and awful and rated 5 stars because I enjoyed the hell out of it.

24. Did you DNF anything? Why?

Yep! According to storygraph I've hard DNF'd 10 books this year (meaning I've marked them DNF instead of simply moving them back to my TBR because I'm not feeling it right now). Some were because they made my skin crawl with sexism and/or racism (Upgrade, Blake Crouch; League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Alan Moore) others I just wasn't capable of reading because of fundamental mood or content mismatches (How High We Go in the Dark, Sequoia Nagamatsu; Muse of Nightmares, Lani Taylor). Most I got extremely bored with for no known reason or I got a weird vibe from.

Greetings to anyone who happens to stumble across this nonsense page of mine. Since you’re here, I hope you would not mind sparing a minute or two to read this tiny bit of me.

So, hello! The name’s Calysta Regan Everston, but I also go by tons of previous names, therefore it’s alright for you to address me with whichever of those names that float your boat, as I certainly won’t mind it so long as it’s still appropriate. FYI, to make it easier, my close friends usually summon me with Cal/Caly/Cayi. I am an RP writer, though honestly I only place my butt there on my RP account, like—once in a blue moon. I am at my legal age, having Aquarius in my sun, and ISTP as my MBTI.

Some Trivias You Might Want To Know!

If we’re talking about stuff that piqued my interest, I could say that I have many and they’re all quite common—let’s say, I am into movies precisely romcom old movies and thrillers. I also enjoy Netflix series, to the point I spend most of my leisure time finding and binge-watching anything there.

(Secretly a true crime documentaries enjoyer)

I am a sucker for music and an enjoyer of many kinds of genres as long as it’s safe for both of my ears. Singers who are often appeared on my Spotify playlist are: WJSN, aespa, Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, The 1975, Cigarettes After Sex, Arctic Monkeys, Chase Atlantic, Keshi, Lauv, LANY, New Hope Club, Troye Sivan, demxntia, NIKI, ST12, Wali, and many more.

I read books occasionally! Albeit so, I am not the type to pursue a goal of reading; I read whenever I want to read and I am not whenever I am not in the mood to. My interest in books perched in romance fiction novels, thrillers & mysteries. FYI, I also have my favourite of all time. They are: Alone With You In The Ether by Olivie Blake, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid, and The Folk of the Air series by Holly Black.

Do you usually associate every Taylor Swift’s song with someone you currently adore and cherish the way I did or are you normal?

(Many more will be added later...)

PREGLED GODINE 2023.

Pregled sam započela pisati 7.11.2023. kada sam 90% toga zapravo napisala, a finalno sam uredila 1.1.2024.

Zasigurno sam nešto i (ne)namjerno izostavila, ali što ćemo kad je sve ovo subjektivnost.

Ajmo reć da je polu-poredano i po favoritima, hmm.

Ova godina je bila prožeta nostalgijom za ponovnim gledanjem određenih filmova i serija, te čitanjem knjiga. Glazba me sve manje impresionira.

Pregledavajući zapise za ovu godinu, imam osjećaj da sam sadržajno bila više fascinirana u prvoj polovici.

Skokva je namirnica godine.

Podosta smrti celebrityja nas je zateklo, kao i čudnovate vremenske (ne)prilike - od ekstremnih vrućina, do oluja i poplava.

Ratovi.

Doku:

Više dokumentaraca na goruće teme: Murdaugh murders, Hillsong church, Britney Spears i Johnyy Depp vs. Amber Heard.

Beckham

Daniel

Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me

God Bless America - kako sam tematski nazvala par doku formi koju su se dotakli stanja u USA (o oružju, drogi, imigrantima i ljubavi).
