Release Date: September 4th, 2018
When Rome Pierce moved to Bear Bottom, Texas, it was his intention to lay low. To not be seen. To find a way to heal his body and soul—as well as his son’s.
Nobody would know by looking at him that he used to play professional football. Not with the Bare Bottom MC cut covering his back, and definitely not with his friendly smile completely obliterated.
No longer is there charm in each smooth word that comes out of his mouth. What’s left is an angry, bitter, scared man that’s terrified one day he’s going to wake up and his entire world is going to be gone.
Nobody knows what drove him to leave the game he loved—nobody but her.
She’s the one person that has helped him make it through the dark days and even darker nights. She’s the bright and shining star in his pitch-black sky.
And he doesn’t even know her name.
He should be afraid that she knows things that not anyone—not even his best friend—knows.
Yet, with each encounter, he gives what little bit of his soul remains, and before he knows it only two people on this earth—one dying, and one too afraid to live—make his life worth living.
Until one day he has to choose—the love of his life, or the life he brought into this world.
Two impossible situations. One decision that would change him forever.

My Review:
My Review:
This was my very first Lani Lynn Vale book and I am so glad a friend recommended it to me. This was a heartbreaking story of loss and finding the will to live again when you've lost everything that mattered to you. It's about healing and finding love again. About finding the one person that is your other half and can pick you up and show you the way when you don't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I can honestly say that I cried my heart out before I even reached the middle of the book. Having to live through what Rome experiences in this book is so heartbreaking that I don't think there is a person who would be left unaffected. But the story is not only about that heartbreak. It's about finding your way when your world falls apart around you.
Ultimately, Isadora and Rome are two great characters. I admire Isadora and her strength. Because surviving the nightmare she lived through as a child, teenager and an young adult is something to be admired for. It not only shows the strength of her character but also her determination to survive, to find her place in the world and her HEA. Rome on the other hand, might be physically strong and had pretty much a great life until one wrong decision throws everything upside down. And unfortunately, faith throws even more heartbreak his way. And no matter how much he fights, the heartbreak just becomes too much and pulls him in. And in a way, exactly what Rome and Isadora lived through, makes them perfect for each other. And though, their HEA doesn't come easy, it is beautiful and inspiring.
And just to make things better, there is a little bit of danger and suspense lurking around the corner that definitely fulfilled my need for it :)
So, if you are looking for a great emotional story, don't waste any more time looking and pick Mess Me Up. It is definitely a book you don't want to miss.
