Title: Maybe Don't Wanna
Series: The Simple Man Series #2
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Romance Suspense

Unlike the superhero his mother named him after, Parker is no good guy.
In fact, if there’s a picture in the dictionary under anti-hero, it’s his.
Parker’s spent his life trying to get back on the right side of the tracks, but each step he takes forward, he takes two more steps back.
To save one, he hurts others. To make this good, he turns that bad.
For appearances’ sake, he plays the part. He does what people expect him to do—mostly. And at the end of each day, he goes back to his lonely apartment and wishes he was a different person. One who could fix the things he’s broken.
Then Kayla Nash forces her way into his life, and the world as he knows it is irrevocably changed.
Everything he thinks he has right is wrong. And everything he thinks is wrong is oh, so right.
One thing leads to another, and suddenly he’s growing a conscience, and trying to prove to her that he’s as bad as everybody says he is.
Yet she won’t listen.
She’s convinced that she can save him.
Little does she know, Parker isn’t worth saving, and never will be.

(5 Stars)
I don't care what anyone says, this is a spin off and you really should start at Boomtown and work your way through the other series' until getting to these. The character's are all featured starting at Lani's very first book, and for you to get the feels that this book gives, its just better to be caught up with everything first. So those that complain about this series, if you haven't read the previous books, that is your own fault.
Kayla.... I can't even begin to figure out where to start with this story. Kayla captured our hearts right along side Janie, in Boomtown, and then again in Texas Tornado's epilogue. She has been loved by all of the men of Free as if she was their own, but Kayla feels unsettled, out of place (this hurts my heart), she is still trying to find her place in life. Parker has literally lost everyone but one person that he has loved, he has been living his life by trying to make up for things he had done in the past. With Kayla he feels that its just right, even though he shouldn't. Between their age gap and the person that he is, he knows that there is someone out there that is better for her. But as far as Kayla is concerned, Parker is the one place that she finally feels settled, as if he is that piece to make her whole. But with a serial killer and everything else stacked against them, will they be able to make a relationship work between them?
This was.... amazing, there are no other words that can be said. Sobbing, and I'm talking ugly cry, one minute and laughing the next. Lani can spin a story that has you hanging on the edge of your seat and you will gladly hang there as long as it takes to get more. Yeah, there are some plot holes and a few issues, thats normal for her books, but TBH the story pulls you in and has you watching this movie in your head and you just don't give a damn. Danger, sexy times, heartbreak, sexy times, violence, laughter, did I mention amazing sexy times (like AMAZING). 5 stars isn't enough for this, but it's all I can give.
