Mess Me Up by Lani Lynn Vale
4.0
emotional medium-paced

 This review may contain spoilers, so fair warning, upon reading the review.

Introduction
Mess Me Up is the first book in the "Bear Bottom Guardians MC" series. I just loved this book but its very emotional so I think this book won't work for everyone. Make sure that you are aware of the trigger warnings on this (which I have at the bottom of the review for you). In this one, we have a story where the hero is going through something challenging in seeing his son lose the fight to cancer and its so heartwrenching in seeing how real this comes to life. The heroine is in charge of a cleaning service and his son connects to her and she also assists him in the grieving process and learning to live with it. I really loved how real to life this story seemed and the author really focused on the correct aspects to showcase the difficulties that parents go through when losing a child.

My Outlook
Mess Me Up is a story that was so heartfelt and deeply riveting. I was so easily caught up into this story. It definitely wasn't an easy story and from the beginning you know that as the reader you are definitely in for a rough road. We see how strong the hero loves his son and is having to see him lose this battle and there is nothing he can do to save him. The author handled this scenario so well. We see how he goes through this process but also how our heroine is there when he needs her the most and is his strength through the roughest times for him. There is something so endearing about the writing style of this author and how she implements such hard issues into a captivating story that just won my heart so quickly!

Overall View
I found Mess Me Up to be a fascinating story that kept my emotions high and my heart full fledged into the story.
