Gods, how does she do it???? Lani Lynn Vale had me hooked yet again with Go To Hail

Travis and Hannah’s story was another hit in the Hail Raisersseries and I read it in a morning as I could not put my kindle down (suffice to say the housework and everything else suffered ‘cos nothing got done as I was glued to the sofa reading avidly!)

I read a few comments saying that the readers felt LLV was writing weak heroes but on this I have to disagree….. Travis was caught in a really crappy position due to his ex-wife. Man, I’ve never actively HATED a character before but gods, I DETESTED Allegra, what a prize feckin’ bitch that woman was!! For the sake of seeing his daughter, he put up with a lot of crap that I’m sure no-one would normally accept, except the threats and acts from his ex threatened the people he loved and cared about. I wanted him to tell her where to go way way before he decided he’d have enough but I understood why he chose to tread warily.

Hannah put up with a lot from Travis, he was a git to her for too long (in his skewed attempt to save her any grief from his ex), even though they lived in the same house – with their baby son – it took him an absolute age to actually tell her how he felt about her and what she meant to him! I could get why she stayed, though I did wish she’d have called him on his crap and let him know how it made her feel! She was such a good mum to Reggie and tried to build a relationship with Alex, even though Travis’s daughter was being a horrible wee girl to them both. Watching her continue to try to get through to Alex, and one scene in particular, was great. 

I liked the back and forth of the book, we got to see how their relationship started and how they fell for each other as well as (finally) seeing them fight for what they had together. 
The story pulled at my emotions – I was in parts mad at Travis, sad at how things were going for the pair, horrified at the lengths the ex would go to, my heart hurt for Hannah but I also admired her over-riding protectiveness of their children and her strength when push came to shove. 

We caught up with some favourites from previous books/series and found out more about the Hail brothers we’ve yet to read about. I’m looking forward to more in this series.
