Darby
has always been ‘that’ guy.
The
guy that no man, woman, or child wants around their loved one.
See,
a long time ago he made some bad decisions. Those bad decisions have haunted
him ever since. No matter what he does, people still see him as the town’s
screw up. The boy that sold his soul to the Devil.
Years
later, he’s turned himself around. Made amends and ultimately turned into a
generally good guy. Only, it’s hard to act like a good guy when people still
treat you like the old you, and not the new you.
Enter
Waylynn Jennings.
Waylynn
has watched Darby Valentine from afar for a very long time.
She’s
witnessed the changes in him and knows the only reason he’s so mean is to
protect the man that lies within. A battered, injured soul that deserves more
than what he’s received. Even his own family takes him for granted.
She’s
made it her new mission in life to prove to everyone that Darby isn’t the bad
guy. That he’s a kind-hearted, sweet soul that’s just looking for a place to
fit in.
Only,
Darby is fairly sure that Waylynn is out to kill him, not help him. How else do
you explain all the fights he’s having to break up on her behalf, or all the
times he has to come to her rescue when she’s managed to put her cute little
butt right in the middle of something where it shouldn’t be?
There’s
obviously only one solution. He has to make her his. Then everyone will know
not to mess with her.
Darby
Valentine protects what’s his.
No
matter what the cost.

The fourth and final instalment in the Valentine brothers'
series belongs to Darby. We saw way back in Nico and Georgia's book that Darby
was a terrible, angry teen and although he hasn't been in trouble for years and
is now an educated adult with a degree no less, he is understandably sick and
tired of his brothers treating him like a child.
When Waylynn, the daughter of one of Darby's fellow bullfighters and someone Darby graduated with, moves to town permanently, Darby is both annoyed and happy about it. He has longed for Waylynn for a long time but she also annoys him in the way she seems to hate him. Waylynn is frustrated with a few things. The father that bought an extremely run down house then decided he wasn't moving in, the fact that she's struggling so bad to get a job despite getting her degree, and the annoyingly gorgeous man that for as long as she has known him on the rodeo circuit has purely been a love 'em and leave 'em kind of guy. Needs must though and one moment of needing a favour turns into much more between the two and it couldn't happen at a better time... when the Valentine family seems to be falling apart. Will the brothers ever resolve their differences or will it just be Darby and Waylynn alone going forward?
What a brilliant end to this mini series. I wanted the brothers' stories since I read Nico and Georgia's years ago and I'm so glad Lani went back and gave us them. I thought that this was a perfect wrap up to the Valentine brothers and I give Get Bucked 5 stars.

What a way to end the Valentine Boys series! First, this is the last of a four book spin off, so obviously read the previous ones first. Second, notice I said the words spin off? That's right this is a spin off that stems from Nico and Georgia's story in the SWAT series (I talked all about this in my review of Ace and Codie's story). We know the horrific story of the Valentine's background, we also know that Darby had a very hard time adjusting and that the family had to really push him to get him to straighten up. Well, he did just that; Darby has busted his behind to get where he is now, but it's never enough for anyone. Waylynn sees just how good a man Darby is, and when he needed a place to land, she was the one that helped him out. Now the two are exploring something more, but can someone that pushes people away and that doesn't see potential in himself really open up to something more?
I have so many feels right now! Happy, excited, sad, mad, disgusted... god you name it this book had me feeling it. I am a bit sad that the series is now done, but I feel that Darby and Way were such a nice way for this series to go out! This journey to get to the end was amazing, and gets 5 stars!
