I'm kind of a lady, but definitely more of a weirdo.

Hearing the woman at the table behind him say that to her friend should've turned Logan Gibbs off.

It doesn't. In all honesty, it only makes him listen harder.

He's had enough weird in his life to last a lifetime. The last thing his complicated life needs is a woman in it who has no clue what color you get when you mix yellow and blue together.

Yet, her obvious blonde moments aren't enough to deter him. Nor is her lack of finger-painting skills.

I'm a cop, not a miracle worker.

Hearing the man in the group behind her say that should've had Katy Roberts running away as fast as her feet would carry her. Katy's father's a cop, and it's hard enough to live her life with Daddy trying to dictate her every move. She needs another cop in her life like she needs yet another thing to go wrong.

To add onto that, she can't find a job, has no love life to speak of, and has to be the oldest known virgin in Kilgore, Texas.

Yet, when she sees his painting—a painting that resembles a piece of the male anatomy more than the lighthouse they were supposed to be painting—she knows that she has to give him a chance.

The very last thing the two of them expect is for her father and his boss to force them to marry after an eensy-weensy accident. An accident that, surprisingly, both of them want.

I probably say this every time, but this was one of my favorite LLV books! While it was easy going for the most part, it did touch on some emotional issues that penetrated the surface of what could have been a light and fun romance. Don't get it twisted, this story had plenty of hilarity, but the humor was tempered with heartfelt moments.

Telling a man that you already have a man won't stop him from wanting you. But if you tell him you used to be a man... 🤣🤣🤣


Logan's backstory was heartbreaking. I just wanted to give him a big ol' hug. He deserved all the kindness and happiness in the world. I'm telling you, this man is a REAL man. LLV created a stunner when she gifted us with all the sexiness that was Logan. And Katy, her story wasn't any easier to bear. This sweetheart just needed someone to love her right and she couldn't have asked for a better person than Logan. These two fell together almost instantly and it worked. They didn't cause any drama for the other, they had each other's back, and their love was so lovely.

"It feels like I've known you my entire life. It feels like, from the moment that I met you, my soul knew that you were the one made to complete it. Honestly, it feels like a dream. Like we're stuck in some romantic movie that only has one ending - happiness."


I don't see myself ever falling out of love with these stories. I'm constantly falling in love with these heroes and most of the heroines are my boos. With an incredibly beautiful ending, this story will most definitely find its way onto my bookshelves.

If he's willing to give you the moon and the stars, you should be willing to sacrifice Uranus.

Lani Lynn Vale has a style that is all her own. Her heroes and heroines are very unique and they aren’t afraid to be quirky and stand out in a crowd. She has the magic touch that assures an entertaining read that is unlike any other author’s style.

Some of you may remember Katy, Luke Robert’s daughter. She is the heroine in this story. While her life hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows, she meets her match in Logan. Logan is a motorcycle cop that has a habit of pissing people off but there’s a lot more to him than meets the eye. These two fell together organically and had a great vibe going.

The plot was interesting and even though I wasn’t necessarily surprised by who was involved in the twist, I was surprised by the ultimate outcome. Definitely not your typical resolution.

This was a great start to a new series. I’m very interested in the secondary characters and who they end up with.

Geez...

There are times Lani Lynn hits it out of the park. And there are times when there's a foul ball of epic proportions. This was one of them.

From the non existing romance, to the typical OW drama, to the lacklustre hero, this fell so flat for me, I still feel the disappointment. I was still waiting for some action when I found myself at the epilogue. Now, when you're invested in a book, and waiting for the story to get juicy, for the romance to be at stake, for the hero to blow your socks off, for the sex to be off the charts panty melting, its weird when you are wondering how you got to the epilogue. Like, its as thought there was no story at all for me here.

Many Lani books have rocked. This was not one of them. 2 stars because it was a hot cop and Lani... But as for story? This was really lacking and the plot was dull. The characters seemed two dimensional and it felt completely rushed.

The blurb for this book and the actual story is not correct.
Heroine not a virgin ,had an abusive live in boyfriend,she has a new job vs no job,and her Daddy did not force her to marry hero.As a matter of fact ,only marriage was in the epilogue.
Still I will read the next book in this series as I am enjoying this author.

I have been anticipating Katys story since the epilogue of her parents book, Center Mass. We got a little glimpse of her in a few of the previous books, but this one....sigh....her story is simply wonderful. I love Logan and Katy together. Logan's heart is bigger than anyone knows and Katy is nothing like I expected. Not gonna lie, back in Center Mass, I thought she was spoiled and self centered. I actually was pissed that she might have ruined it with Luca, BUT, she isn't at all like you think. This story is well written, as always, and I did not see any grammar errors. Lani always provides her readers with well developed stories and characters. I highly recommend starting at the Free Bird series.

Lani, thank you for feeding my monthly reading addiction with fabulous characters and stories. I'm looking forward to the next one!

Ok, so I must have misread where I thought she said her ex and her hadn't had sex in awhile. She must have said they'd never had sex, because she was a virgin.

This story is kind of crazy and they didn't hide it at all. Katy has a seriously messed up past with an abusive ex (who was also a cop) and Logan's ex slept with his best friend and got pregnant, then told everyone it was Logan's. Seriously, these 2 had more drama than daytime tv.

I liked Katy and Logan though. Both are pretty resilient and while they had drama, it was believable, real life stuff. Domestic abuse, contentious divorces...it was all real life stuff. The end is super swoony and I loved it. So despite my initial confusion over the book vs the synopsis (Her mom apparently died, but they managed to save her (the baby); I'm still not sure why it said she doesn't have a job. She is starting a new job at the beginning of the book. Finally, her dad didn't make them get married. He was kind of ANTI Logan the entire book), I did enjoy this!

4.5 ' Love Is Crazy' Stars

WOW!!! HIDE YOUR CRAZY was SOOOOOOO freakin’ good!!!!! LLV starts this new KPD Motorcycle Patrol with a bang, I have no doubt you’ll love this one. And it’s Luke’s (Center Mass) daughter, Katy’s story! And she gets the first of this new generation of hot cops, Logan. They are perfect for each other! And so many Code 11- KPD SWAT, and their legacy cameos *swoooooonnnnn* .


Center Mass was one of the first books I’ve read by Lani Lynn Vale, and one of my fav from her, so you can imagine how thrilled and giddy I was to dive into this one, with the female main character being Luke’s – still drooling over this man – daughter. And she was BRILLIANT! One of my new fav LLV heroines, for sure! Her sweet, but ‘take no prisoners’ attitude, and her take on life were everything I adore in a female character, and the way she stood up for what she believe in, and defended the ones she loved – even if she needed not – , made me totally girl crush on her.

He likely broke hearts everywhere he went.


Even dirty and covered in brown mud, she was still the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen.


“I’m sorry, but what did I do to you?” Katy asked. “Pick up the trash you thought you’d left behind to rot? Well, let’s just say I love restoring people’s discarded junk and making it beautiful again.”
(Katy to Logan’s ex wife)

Logan was just as enticing as his romantic partner, the smoking hot cop was the perfect Alpha, and the perfect match for Katy. Only a man like him could stand up and ‘steal’ Luke’s little girl’s heart. I couldn’t have loved more that even though jaded by his less than pleasant past, specially his marriage, he recognized what Katy meant to him and how special she was. He was so damn swoon worthy! His self sacrifice in the name of friendship, his love for Katy, and just how overall magnificient he was in his protectiveness and devotion, just completely stole my heart and sent him straight to my fav LLV heroes.

The moment that the cuffs clicked into place, I felt something in my soul shift. A rightness at having her there, tethered to me, unable to leave.

I was the master of riding out storms. That was what my life had been like for my entire life. One massive storm.

I had no idea that Katy would be the biggest storm of all, or that I’d come to need that storm as much as I did.


Well, once again Ms. Vale blew my mind, because not only was Hide Your Crazy the absolute perfect introduction to yet another fantastic LLV world, with plenty of new and HOT characters and so many of our favs from previous series. If not for a couple of inconsistencies that left me confused, and specially the role (or lack there of) of the entry scene for the rest of their story, given it was never really connected even by the characters to their time together, neither acknowledged as first ‘meeting’, I would have given all the stars to this book, because it really is the PERFECT start of this series, and you can see just how much I adored everything about it. Lani Lynn Vale once again showed us her winning formula of perfect balance between funny, suspense, romance and emotional, we had it all in HYC! The perfect and TEASING start to this KPD Motorcycle Patrol, so much so that I’m already DYING for the next one, It Wasn’t Me!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

“It feels like I’ve known you my entire life. It feels like, from the moment that I met you, my soul knew that you were the one made to complete it. Honestly, it feels like a dream. Like we’re stuck in some romantic movie that only has one ending—happiness.”

“It may be fast,” I told her. “But I’m going to hold you like I’m going to lose you. I’m never going to let you go.”

Was pretty good

I liked the story well enough. A lot of things just seemed to happen to poor Logan. I expected more to happen to Katy especially since her ex was just getting our of jail. Also, her ex was a cop? Not to much mention of that afterwards, like our was a detail thrown in and forgotten.

I have been a big fan of Lani Lynn Vale's stories for the longest time and could not wait to jump into book one of her brand new series, The Kilgore Motorcycle Patrol Series. Hide your crazy was funny, sexy and heartfelt. I enjoyed this story immensely and especially loved the chemistry between Logan and Katy!

This story had the typical humor we would find in a L.L.V. story with the added hint of a suspenseful punch..I enjoyed Logan and Katy's back and forth banter and the chemistry they could not deny. While the mystery perpetrator was pretty obvious, the storyline was topnotch. Logan was protective of Katy and that is something that this author writes so perfectly. 

All in all, I enjoyed this story and can't wait for morebooks in this series! 5 stars! ~Ratula

4 1/2 stars, I really liked this one, and flew through it. It's a little shorter than some and I do wish we had more time getting some aspects explained to us but this was a fun read with two great characters. And after reading this book I wanted to start book two right away. I'm liking this new series and excited to keep reading it.

** important note, this book description is incorrect, some aspects are correct but there are some big details that are not in this book at all, not kind of off but not in the book at all. I hope the author fixes this, so there is no more confusion.

Blurb didn't match the story. We have the old "crazy ex-wife", "cop hero", "innocent nurse heroine". Nothing new. And I knew who the "bad guy" was from the start. So no suspense either. I liked reading it, it passed the time. But that's about it.

Logan (hero) made sacrifices for his best friend showed that he had a big heart and willing to put others before himself. That’s admirable.

Let’s skip talking about h since she’s almost the same to LLV’s other heroines.🙃

I don’t want to pull a Karen on this but a thing or two rubbed me wrong way:

1. It bothered me that they had sex without a condom or “the talk” about being clean/on birth control.

2. I don’t want to read about (or in this case listen to) H’s sexual history even it was just an inner thought of him and not a descriptive scene. Like hell I want to know H and his ex-wife had sex when they tried for a baby. It was totally unnecessary in my opinion.😑





Safety :
No virgins.
H didn’t give a manwhore vibe though at some points after divorced, he mentioned only wanted casual hookups.
OW - H’s ex wife appeared and caused some drama.
Possible triggers : Infertility issues, loss of a loved one, physical abuse, cheating (other character).

They were good together although the place H proposed was really…odd.

The only thing I found lacking was…where did that guy disappear to? What's his motive to do those things?

One thing is for sure when reading a LLV novel, you know you’ll be getting AN ALPHA! What’s better than that? NOTHING! So hot! I devoured this book in one sitting. The book was fast pace, the writing flowed, the drama was high, and the love connection was strong.

I love me some drama, especially the baby mama kind, so this was right up my alley! I think this book was great and I can’t wait to see what’s to come!

Hide Your Crazy is another winner by Lani Lynn Vale with a stoic hero plus a damaged yet quirky heroine who are on a collision course with love whether they want it or not.

Katy Roberts was able to get out of an abusive relationship and has decided men are not worth the pain and heartache. Logan Gibbs has not had the easiest past few years, he has a nasty ex-wife who betrayed him in the worst way and he’s a Motorcycle police officer who doesn’t have the best relationship with his co-workers and his boss barely tolerates him.  Neither of them were looking for a relationship but their intense chemistry and almost inst love were impossible to resist.

I seriously could not put Hide Your Crazy down. Between the chapter titles and witty banter between all of the characters I laughed throughout almost the entire book.  Even though Hide Your Crazy is mostly full of comedy and smoking hot chemistry it still has mild suspense and intense emotions making Hide Your Crazy a well-rounded romance that’s a perfect escape from day to day life.

Great start to a new LLV series!

Katy and Logan blend drama and heat in their fun-filled stroll down romance lane. They had me laughing from the start at their less than happy first meet up that started the fuel to their fire….

Katy knew what a bad relationship was. I mean really, really bad. Logan could relate, even if their circumstances were black and white. What they did have in common though was a mutual attraction and sarcastic humour that would steer there through some dark, twisty times. Logan was a cop and Katy a medical examiner but nothing could prepare them for the lengths that ticked off people would go.

Pangs to the heart and the funny bone are standard in this author’s reads and I can’t wait for more!

Başında da sonunda da hafif açık kalmış uçlar vardı. Motorlu polis olan beyimiz ve sağlıkçı olan kızımız çeşitli olaylar silsilesiyle tanışırlar ve olaylar gelişir.
Kitaptaki karakterlerin hayatlarının gerçekçiliğini sevdim. Hep zengin, hep CEO, hep para sıçan erkek görmek yettiği için, eski karısı tarafından donuna kadar alınan bir adam yeni bir soluk gibiydi. :D
Fakat kitapta eksik kalan, üstünkörü anlatılan çok yer vardı.

Logan and Katy

What a cute story and we loved it.Katy was the bomb a little bombshell with a wickedly clever tongue and we loved her as she definitely made this story a whole lot of fun and had us laughing out loud the entire story.

The title of the book rings true for this couple both coming out of abusive relationship and one with one big whopping secret and one big betrayal and the only one paying the price is Logan who is living one great big lie in order to protect his best friend the only way he can.

This book was had a whole lot of crazy going on but, it had a whole lot of intense chemistry and pretty much love a first sight kind of thing going on even though words spoken out loud would have you thinking otherwise .Let's just say a pissed of Katy was a sight to see. lol

Overall we love this story it was one hot read.What I loved most about it was the fact that this couple just fit together in perfect harmony and they just understood and could read each other right from their very first hooked up and it was as they had been a couple who had been together for eons and not just a couple of weeks.This couples relationship was a bit of a roller coaster and fast paced and to make things even more complicated someone stirred the pot and both Katy and Logan are the targets and let's just say this is probably the one and only time handcuffs and some hot a crazy sex with a sexy cop is going to be your only saving grace......

Also one of the other things that me loved was that the author incorporated some of the Bear Bottom MC guys and their wives into the story that made a nice addition to this current tale.

Recommended read to all!

5+++++ They were a mess before they met stars!!!!

I will never ever never tire of LLV books and it seems that they just get better with every one. The way she tackles new problems folks face daily blows me away. She not only broached infertility here, there was also brain injury, PTDS and in vitro. I love how she takes these everyday issues researches and then turns them into such amazing books!♥️

Logan, BLESS HIS HEART! He had had one shitty thing after another happen to him and as a last resort before he lost his job he was put on a “misfit” motorcycle PD squad (they weren’t misfits per se they just all seemed to like trouble) and he wasn’t too happy about it. But everything happens for a reason! Katy was his reason. God she had been through the ringer too! Luke Roberts daughter was a spunky lil thing as a child but she just got more sassy as she grew up! She was meant for Logan and it was one of the best books by Lani. She never ceases to amaze me.

As all of her books do, this one contained that humor that made you lol! To the point of tears actually. It has some, IMO, of her hottest sexy Time and it was just a fantastic book!

I wish everyone knew about her because she just writes with a simplicity that hooks you from the beginning. I rarely ever give her anything less that 5 stars simply because she writes entertaining books and I devour them always!!!

I loved this one!!!!!!!😍😍😍

Oh this story was so full of heart. It had me laughing, angry, and down right swooning. Logan and Katy’s romance felt so easy and real. The perfect pace even though it was like fast forwarded. There was some great suspense and it really had me biting my nails wondering what was going to happen. I loved seeing some of my favorite characters from other series by this author.

There are some unlikely characters in this book that I really Hope get their books. They were great supporting characters and I felt really helped this story. I want to say so much about this story because it was so good but if you are a fan of this author, know that she didn’t let us readers down at all. I can’t wait to see more in this series! 5 stars #2OCCJD

And here’s to yet another series from Lani Lynn Vale I’m already addicted to! Hide Your Crazy is the perfect start being filled with everything from Lani’s signature humor to jaw dropping action and of course a seriously hot romance. She’s also created a new obsession called alllllllll the pictures of motorcycle cops on Pinterest thanks to the uniforms she has in this book. I’m joking. Not really. 🤤
I wasn’t ready for Logan however. The second I thought I got the kind of guy he was in the beginning it all totally changed. There is so much more to him than meets the eye. Life hits him with blow after blow and he just carries on in a way where not only do people not even notice, but they also have the entirely wrong idea of him in their heads. That is until Katy. It’s like she sees everything the rest of the world misses when it comes to him. And the love that grows between them? Absolute perfection.

Logan Gibbs knows this is his last shot at salvaging his career as a cop, he is part of the new KPD Motorcycle Patrol and if the looks he is getting his outfit has women think he is part of the tv show CHIPS. He will do his job though but he finds himself preoccupied by the beauty he saw at his company get together and recently wrote her a ticket. Little did he realize he was her neighbor.

Katy is quirky, she has a dog who is a pain in her but and now finds the cop who gave her a ticket is her neighbor. Katy and Logan themselves at ease with one another and they both have a creative way of solving each others problem. Then there is Katy's Dad, Luke Roberts and Logan's boss who hates Logan but Katy is falling hard for the man who quickly is stealing her heart.

This was a fantastic kick off to new series. I was curious what would happen with Katy and was not disappointed. Logan's back story is fantastic, loved every moment of this book. Can't wait for the next book.
