Good vs Bad.Light vs Dark.Right vs Wrong.There are always two sides to every coin.Josiah ‘Liner’ Paldecki knew the moment he laid eyes on her that there was something different about her. Something special. Something so unique that it practically poleaxed him the moment that their eyes met.Except, the next time he saw her, it was like she was a different woman altogether. There was a blankness to … woman altogether. There was a blankness to her eyes that concerned him. An air of menace about her that honestly scared him to death. He’s more than man enough to admit it.
At first, Liner thinks it’s because she’s bi-polar, or possibly psychopathic.
Then he realizes the truth.
That there isn’t a single person that exhibits such different personalities, but two.
Two identical twin sisters, both completely different, yet exactly the same.
One with a soul, and one without.
One that has his heart, and one that only wants to destroy it.

Intense and Compelling Story
Wow! Theo and Liner’s story was more epic saga than simple romance. The layer upon layer of subterfuge in the story make its reading intense, sometimes tragic and others heartbreaking. The obstacles the couple is forced to overcome to find their HEA make for a book that is impossible to put down without knowing with absolute certainty that the characters you have become so invested in will prevail. There are heartwarming elements to the story as well such as the unconditional love between siblings, the love of a parent for a child, the unbreakable bonds of true friendship, and the firm belief that true happiness is attainable despite all odds. Lani Lynn Vale’s latest addition to this series is a great read from start to finish and will leave you eager to see what could possibly happen next to this group of complex alpha men who are the Bear Bottom Guardians MC.
5 Stars
What I wouldn’t give to live inside the mind of Lani Lynn Vale for just a day! Seriously, I want to know how she comes up with all these plots and storylines. While some things in Snitches Get Stitches may seem a little far-fetched, it’s fiction, so whatever. I always devour every single story she releases and she is definitely one of those automatic onelick authors for me. She writes it, I read it.
Now, having said all that, this is Liner’s book in the Bear Bottom MC series. I’ll admit when reading the blurb I had my suspicions as to who the heroine would be. To say she has had a miserable life would be the understatement of the year, but the strength she portrays is greater than anyone could possibly imagine. Liner being the Alpha male that he is, wants to protect her with everything he has. I fell in love with them both. They have tons of chemistry and I adored the way Liner is with her. Overall, I loved the story and was glad to see those get what they deserved. It’s funny, romantic, super sexy and has an edge of suspense. It’s full of everything I’ve come to love in a LLV book and so much more.

Every time I open a book by Lani Lynn Vale I fall in love with a story and that happened again with Snitches get Stitches . Lets just say I was super surprised at who the twins were but it made so much since and had me so intrigued at the way it’s played out . This can be read as a standalone but I recommend to read them in order you may get a better understanding of why the characters are reacting a certain way to some things / people . Liner Liner Liner ever since he was introduced I wanted to read his story like every other lani characters the get’s brought in I need to read what the author creates for them . I can’t wait to read more by the author in the future and of coarse her books are always re reads so if she is new for you you need to get them as soon as possible .

Oh this review is going to be hard to write, purely because I want to rave about this book as it was so damn good, but I can’t as I don’t want to give the plot and heroine away.
Once I started this book I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!!! I honestly think this is my favourite from this series and all the others have been brilliant. She pulled all the emotions with this one. It had her trademark humour mixed with raw emotions. I knew what I wanted to happen but was never sure which way LLV was going to go but she didn’t disappoint me.
If you haven’t read the other books in the series then I would say STEP AWAY until you have as it will completely spoil your enjoyment if you read this one first as you will miss out on the back story which plays a major part in this instalment.
When it comes to telling a story Lani Lynn Vale is a freaking goddess! And wow, did she hit it out of the park with this one.
I have liked Liner in the other books in this series, but I didn’t expect just how much more I would like his character. He truly is a very sweet and caring person, and he totally proved it in this book. He is also totally badass in his own way (you will understand towards the end just how right this comment is!). But he totally and utterly proves to Theo just how much he cared about her and what lengths he would go to for her.
And Theo … holy hades did her character go through some stuff. All I can say is WOW! Her family is a nightmare (think seventh level of hell and then multiply it by 10!) and what her character experienced would have destroyed anyone else. Her strength is very apparent through the story, even if she didn’t think so herself. But what she went through didn’t break her, only made her bend a bit.
Overall, this was a freaking amazing book that I believe is the best one in the series. There is angst and drama, lies and confusion, and finally love and acceptance. This book spawned so many different emotions for me as I read it. Yes, some tears were shed, but they were totally deserved for Theo. If you haven’t read the whole series, then you need too! Trust me, you will totally understand. Two thumbs up from me and happy reading!
Snitches Gets Stitches would have to be one of the most angsty books that Lani Lynn Vale has ever written. Liner’s story had me on the edge of my seat, my mind working overtime and biting my nails. Their story is highly charged, emotional, self sacrificing, heart wrenching and at times I couldn’t see a HEA was even possible. This book took me an a ride of surprise, tears, joy, heartbreak but ultimately experiencing a love like you would never expect. A huge ten star read in my opinion.
Another fantastic story Bear Bottom!! This story thoroughly wrecked me. Going into it I was glad Liner finally got his book because I was skeptical from the appearances he made and the others of the series. But underneath he is loyal, protective and a downright good man. My heart broke for Theo. She has had a tough life up to this point, but Liner eases the burden for her and shows her she doesn’t have to do it alone. I absolutely freaking love Liner and Theo!!! I can’t wait for more from this author!
The blurb for this book was purposefully vague about the identity of the heroine, and I’m not going to shed a single ray of light on that here. In fact, I’m going to keep this review short and sweet and a little vague. But I will say that if you are a regular Lani Lynn Vale reader, you must read this book, it is simply not to be missed. If you know anything about reading this author’s work, you know to expect the unexpected, and that’s exactly what she’s given her readers in this book.
Snitches Get Stitches was everything I want and expect in one of Vale’s books. There was plenty of her trademark quirky sense of humor, and there was a beautiful, sexy romance between a strong alpha male and an unlikely heroine. There was bantering and bickering amidst the gut-wrenching, heartbreaking emotion, and it was all tied up in a suspenseful plot as creative and intriguing as Vale has ever written.
I’ve read every single one of Lani Lynn Vale’s books. I know her style, I know her characters, I know her worlds, yet this was a story that I didn’t see coming. Oh, I had my suspicions and ideas and preconceived notions like all of Vale’s readers did, but I was wrong, and I’m so glad I didn’t allow them to hold me back from reading this book. Five smooches from me for Snitches Get Stitches by Lani Lynn Vale!

(5 stars)
I say this almost every Lani Lynn Vale book: this is a series, and as such the previous books should be read before starting this. If you were to just jump into this book, it would be like starting Grey’s in season 7 and expecting not to have missed anything.. just plain silly. We have watched Liner and we know just how busy his life is, it seems like the man never stops going… like a seriously hot energizer bunny. Liner has taken upon himself to do some investigating into a certain family. He knows there is more to the story than what the family is portraying, problem is, he had no clue just how crazy this situation really was.
The h in this book was a mystery as the author wanted this to be a bit of a surprise. I guessed what was going on and I was right, yay me. I will say this story was perfect. The stories that Lani Lynn Vale can weave has you sitting on the edge of your seat, talking to yourself and the characters hoping they do what you tell them too, all the while your children are looking at you like you have a screw loose. It’s so magical the land that LLV has created and I hate leaving it. I give this 5 stars.

(5 stars)
Is that Tara, the woman the whole club hates? Or is it someone else who looks freakishly like her? Liner isn’t sure but he just has to get to the bottom of who the.. not-Tara, is. Theo has been living in a mental facility for so long she’s lost touch with the “real world”. As the world moves on outside the hospital walls, she remains, at her own volition that is, a prisoner locked inside. She doesn’t eat, she doesn’t speak and the staff can’t really stand her, the only thing that livens her up are her tri weekly visits from her brother Tyson and her beautiful daughter, Linnie, the person she is enduring all this for. If she leaves, all their lives will be in danger. When Liner appears before her one day though, she suddenly has another reason for carrying on, for coming back to the living, but will her feelings for him be enough to get her free and will she be able to be a part of his life when his MC brothers instantly hate her because of the face she bares?
I really enjoyed this. I say that every time with an LLV book, but I really do enjoy this world and can’t wait for the next one. I give Snitches Get Stitches 5 stars.
Dang… I’m all about pulling up my big girl panties this month! I finally went back & finished the last book in this series & I’m so glad I did because Liner was a STUD!!
Evil twins, millionaires, a tornado, an immaculate conception, shoot-outs, to-die-for cupcakes, a family on the run, a death by pipe… There were secrets & surprises at every turn in this one.
My favorite thing about this book was Liner. I adored the way he cared for Linnie & Theo. The lengths he went to protect them & provide them with a comfortable life was so sweet & beautiful. A close second in the favorites department has to be what happened to three of Theo’s family members… #thankgods #yougotwhatyoudeservedmofos
I do wish there was a little more detail surrounding the immaculate conception (because it’s crazy how much Tara managed to find a donor that looked like Rome) but sometimes less is more, I suppose.
Sad to see this series end but I’m excited to make my way back to the baseball series!
I love Liner. He is just so sweet. I’m so glad we go to see more into Theo’s side of the family because things about Tara finally got uncovered.
From the beginning your pulled in because your like what just happened and from the beginning Liner thought something was up with “Tara”. The twist in this one are really good that you need to go read this book and the others in this series to fully understand. So go buy this book
Finally, the conclusion of the most hated enemy the club has ever had is explained in a way for us readers to understand. I was so happy to get to know Liner all over again, he’s protective of his friends and family, and has a forgiven heart, amazing read and a must read for sure. All in all, not to forget author Lani Lynn Vale put her heart and soul in this book.
Liner and Theo’s book was definitely one that had its twists. And there isn’t anything I would change about their story. There was finally answers for some of the questions that I had since the first book in this series. Liner just knew that the woman that he saw thru his window wasn’t who everyone thought. He just knew that he needed to find her, he just wanted to get answers from her. In no way did he ever expect for her to steal his heart.
I swear Vale just has this way of writing that I can’t help but get sucked in till the end. These characters totally surpassed anything that I thought they would be. I had no idea who Liner was going to lose his heart to, and once Theo was finally introduced I just couldn’t get enough of them. I hate knowing that after reading this book there’s only one book left in the Bear Bottom Guardians MC series. I know there’s a good chance that the members will be seen again.
When Liner sees Theo he sees nothing but Tara, but then he gets to know her and everything changes. The pain and suffering that Theo has been put through is more than any person should have to survive. Liner will do anything to help her, even let her go. I loved this story and it was so emotional. Theo is a survivor although she doesn’t feel that way. Liner is a protector and will do anything and fight anyone to help Theo. The two together are incredible.
I really enjoyed Theo and Liner’s story. It was filled with heartbreak, pain, and lots of love. The perfect combination for a great romance.
Another great story by LLV.
A must read.
This author has been hit or miss for me lately. The beginning of this book was good, but it lost its steam half way through and I lost interest.
Love love love this series. Can’t wait for more
This was very much a mixed bag for me I still was entertained but did have some slight issues.
So this was an enjoyable read and really quite an easy one.
It was quite instalove in nature which did work for me and I really appreciated the easy emotion between our two Main Characters.
The heat factor here with Josiah and Lani was equally a plus point and I really did like both of there personalities here especially Josiah/Liner, so that was another point in favour for me.
The barf scene here with the dog I thought was hilarious, I have actually been in Josiah’s position myself so do sympathise greatly.
The epilogue as well was very nicely done.
All said this was a heartwarming enjoyable endeavour.
Now for my issues, There were certain scenarios in this story that left me a tad sceptical at there authenticity just because they seemed a little far-fetched in actual nature and really stretched my belief system.
Also, deeper reasoned explanations for the extreme and narcissistic behaviour and actions displayed here was very lacking indeed, yep I know they were perceived as sociopathic but that is not a reason in itself.
I would have liked this expanded on slightly.
I also got slightly confused and turned around within the narrative at times and had to reread certain passages for more clarity.
Also, don’t go into this expecting an MC romance as despite the title this is not actually one.
Liner/Josiah is apparently in an MC but that’s really as far as this goes in terms of that plot direction, this didn’t actually bother me personally but just so you are aware of that fact.
Finally the title: I’m not actually sure why it’s called what it is but beyond it being extremely catchy it doesn’t really relate in any shape or form to the story being told here.
So yeh mixed one this, there was still enough here to keep me invested and reading on and the romance itself here was ever so heartwarming.
On a final note, this was well written and if you like your heros super warm and protective this so has that vibe in spades.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of “Snitches Get Stitches (Bear Bottom Guardians MC, #8)”

This was an absolutely amazing journey to go on with Liner and Theo. I was unsure of how I felt about Theo because that brought Tara back but… wow, just wow! Poor Theo went through so much. It was heartbreaking, frustrating, and scary. Liner notices “non-Tara” and has to figure out the mystery. Seeing something in her that he just has to figure out and possibly repair, or decide what he wanted to do about her or for her. Their friendship and connection was beautiful, It was hard not to love that they found one another. This book took me on a ride that kept me on the edge of my seat, with the anticipation of what could possibly happen next. Their road was definitely rocky but so worth reading to find out what happens with them in the end. I enjoyed every single moment of this story.
