Luke Roberts came to the small lazy town of Kilgore, Texas with one thing on his mind: Forgetting. He wanted to forget why he left. Forget those emerald green eyes that haunted his dreams. And forget how it felt to have his heart ripped out of his chest by a woman who didn’t like the fact that he had a child. It was something he’d been doing a damn fine job of doing, too. Until Reese smashed through every one of his defenses, and made him feel again.

Reese Doherty was just trying to do the best for her little girl. So she moved to the little boomtown nearly an hour from where she grew up to be the school nurse for Kilgore’s littlest people. That’s where she met him. The SWAT officer and the man that would change her life forever. The sexy man who liked to drive fast, and live life like it should be lived. He drove her crazy, and became something she could barely live without.

But Luke was a hero. A man used to risking his life to make the world a safer place. Something Reese had to decide whether she could handle or not. Preferably before her and her daughter became too attached.

Just when she’s ready to give him her whole heart, her world takes a huge hit, and everything she thought she knew wasn’t as it seemed.

Luke wasn’t a quitter, though. Damn far from it, and he’d prove to her that he’d be there when the dust settled. Whether she wanted him to be or not.

Always after a good story, he put his voice to work narrating audiobooks. Though he may have found a calling to cure him of jazz and blues, his guitar and surfboard are never far from his side.

Omg I stumbled across this author and I fell in love with her characters. This book had everything and had me reaching for tissues with big ugly tears and a big baseball bat to knock some sense into these people. Totally recommend this book and all the others books in the series.

I think I'm going to like this spin off series to the Dixie Wardens. We get to meet new characters that sound intriguing and wonderful as we also get to keep in contact with our Dixie Wardens. Great book both sad and funny.

The characters were good, the story was good

I was sceptical about this book. To many times have I picked up a book by Vale and the story is the same as the last one. Yes the character names are different, and the town isn't quite the same, but the story its self is generic. This particular book did surprise me. The story was different, not completely, but enough for me. The characters were good, the story was good, minimum issues with grammar and spelling. If you like Vale's type of writing, this would be for you.

If you have read anything by Lani Lynn Vale in the past, this one will not disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed it, in fact my poor kids had to fend for themselves for dinner because I couldn't put it down. Even if you haven't read any of her prior work Double Tap is a great read, and I can assure you you'll be one-clicking the rest of the series, and the ones before it as soon as you're done.

Review: Code 11-KPD SWAT: Center Mass

Reviewed in Australia on 20 November 2019

Center Mass by Lani Lynn Vale is the first book in her KPD Motorcycle Patrol series first which takes place further along the timeline than this series, HOWEVER, this series is off to a great start. I have come to expect sensational plot twists, the steamiest of sexy times, and the kind of insta-love that leaves you panting and I was NOT disappointed with Luke and Reese's story. A school nurse single-mom and a SWAT cop single-dad made for one helluva great story. I can't wait to dig into this series some more. Enjoy!

Center Mass (Code 11- KDP SWAT)
By: Lani Lynn Vale
5/5 stars

*This book’s characters have family & have appeared in both Vale’s Freebird & Heroes of the Dixie Wardens MC series’. With Vale’s writing it’s not necessary to have to read the other two series first, if you’re just happening upon this series. But because of the involvement that Luke had during the Freebird series, the first Dixie Wardens book and Reese in the last Dixie Wardens book, I would read the others first, just for the pure enjoyment of it all.

Finally, Luke Roberts gets a book!! I’ve been in love with this single dad since he showed up in Kilgore during the Freebird series!! I kept hoping that he would get his own book, and was happy when Lani Lynn Vale announced that she would be writing a Kilgore PD/SWAT series!

Luke Roberts left the Marines years ago when his infant daughter was born and her mother was dead. He then eventually moved to Kilgore, Texas and became friends with the couples of Free and an integral part of their group in saving them, helping them and setting up a bada$$ SWAT team within the police department. He’s a natural leader and inspires loyalty in those who serve with him, those who have been helped by him and his friends & family. His daughter is his entire world and he is a great daddy, though a busy one with the PD/Swat duties and the acting assistant chief duties as well. (Luke’s sister Baylee is married to Sebastian, the VP of the Dixie Wardens MC in book 1, Lights to My Siren.)

Reese Doherty is a single mother with very little help from the dead beat father. She’s had to rely on her family for babysitting help, but with her mother undergoing cancer treatment and her father being the Fire Chief and her sister a physical therapist, they don’t have much free time either. To be there for her daughter she moved to Kilgore to take a job as an elementary school nurse, which will allow her the same working hours that her daughter will be in school & they will be off at the same time. She first gets a glimpse of Luke when his daughter Katy goes to the nurse’s office unable to breathe. From then on, they just seem to run into each other with or without their kids several times.

They soon realize how much they enjoy each other’s company and their relationship quickly progresses. But when the dead beat dad rejoins the picture, things start changing, happening, sometimes getting weird and then things also take a turn for the dangerous. They assume that it might have something to do with her ex, but can’t prove it. Not only is her life in danger, but it means that her daughter’s life could also be in danger. Luke being the alpha-protector that he is refuses to allow anything happen to the woman in his life and is willing to go to any distance to protect her and her daughter.

Luke & Reece learn how to have an actual relationship and each have a little different parenting style, but for the most part, they make it work. They do have bumps in the road as does every couple, but they have been able to work through them, even with their stubbornness. But they make a beautiful blended family and their daughters become like sisters and thick as thieves.

I LOVED the epilogue!!! I like seeing the “many years in the future.” And it also made me hope that Lani Lynn Vale will write books for the Free, Dixie Wardens & Swat babies!! I want to see not only how their parents deal with their kids growing up, but revisiting all these characters would make me happy!!

The teaser chapter at the end of the book for Double Tap (KPD/Swat #2) has me waiting on pins & needles to see what will come of that book!!

review in Portuguese and English.

Eu gosto muito desta autora e sempre compro os livros dela na pré-venda. Este eu me esqueci e quando liguei meu Kindle ele estava lá me esperando... comecei a ler e não parei até o final.
Boa história para quem acompanha desde o início os personagens em outros livros da autora. Achei a trama com o ex da heroína meio enrolada, mas já dá uma abertura para a próxima história.
Vou acompanhar e estou louca pela história do Nico!
Recomendo!
----------------
I really like this author and I always buy her books on pre-order. This I forgot that I had ordered and when I turned on my Kindle to my pleasant surprise the book was there waiting ... started reading and didn't stop until the end.
Good story to those who follow along the characters in other books by the author. I found the plot involving the heroine's ex-boyfriend a little confused, but it gives an opening for the next story.
I'm going to follow and I'm crazy about the history of Nico!
Recommend!

After reading Rowans story, I was excited to read where it all began, and not an I glad I did. I'm not sure yet if I'm more in !I've with the parents or the kids, but so far, so good with both. Luke was a whole lot more than I was expecting and I'm glad Reece was woman enough to give as good as she got. I can't wait to continue on with this series.
