Vic Vaughn is Vicious
My name is Vicious. God-given name, I cross my heart.
And it fits.
I’m a hot-as-f, inked-up tattoo artist at the trendiest shop in the Rocky Mountains.
I have the looks, I have the bike, I have the reputation.
That means I get the ladies.
Sure. There are lots of women out there who hate tattoos. Wouldn’t be caught dead with guys like me. And that’s fine. I’m not looking for girls like that.
I’m looking for that other kind of girl.
The wild one, the bad one, the crazy one.
Funny thing is… the one I fell for isn’t that girl.
She’s the Good Girl.
And maybe back when she was nineteen I came off as a ‘maybe’, but after seven years of distance I am now the definition of ‘not a keeper’.
But I can be a keeper.
I can make the good girl swoon.
I can be the dream guy she never saw coming.
If she would just… not press charges… I’m pretty sure I can turn this whole relationship around.
Vic Vaughn is Vicious is a bad-boy-trying-his best-to-win-her-back romantic comedy about a misunderstood tattoo-artist-biker called Vicious and a good girl named Daisy who ghosted him seven years ago after she came to her senses. It’s filled with funny twists, dreams of grandeur, and all seven members of the most inappropriate family in all of Colorado.This is a standalone book and is not part of a series.

About the author
J.A. Huss
144 books9,073 followersJ.A. Huss never wanted to be a writer and she still dreams of that elusive career as an astronaut. She originally went to school to become an equine veterinarian but soon figured out they keep horrible hours and decided to go to grad school instead. That Ph.D wasn’t all it was cracked up to be (and she really sucked at the whole scientist thing), so she dropped out and got a M.S. in forensic toxicology just to get the whole thing over with as soon as possible.
After graduation she got a job with the state of Colorado as their one and only hog farm inspector and spent her days wandering the Eastern Plains shooting the shit with farmers. After a few years of that, she got bored. And since she was a homeschool mom and actually does love science, she decided to write science textbooks and make online classes for other homeschool moms. She wrote more than two hundred of those workbooks and was the number one publisher at the online homeschool store many times, but eventually she covered every science topic she could think of and ran out of shit to say.
So in 2012 she decided to write fiction instead. That year she released her first three books and started a career that would make her a New York Times bestseller and land her on the USA Today Bestseller’s List eighteen times in the next three years. Her books have sold millions of copies all over the world, the audio version of her semi-autobiographical book, Eighteen, was nominated for a Voice Arts Award and an Audie award in 2016 and 2017 respectively, her audiobook Mr. Perfect was nominated for a Voice Arts Award in 2017, and her book, Taking Turns, was nominated for an Audie Award in 2018. Johnathan McClain is her first (and only) writing partner and even though they are worlds apart in just about every way imaginable, it works.
She lives on a ranch in Central Colorado with her family.

RATING 4.5 STARS
Vic Vaughn is Vicious by J.A. Huss is a stand alone, romantic comedy with a tatted up, motorcycle riding tattoo artist bad boy that you can’t help but love. This is my very first J.A. Huss book.
Vicious Vaughn! Yes, it’s his real name. How do I describe this character to you? I have to admit I didn’t like him at first. But then he grew on me. He runs his family’s tattoo shop, Sick Boyz, along with his brothers. He has a terrible reputation and pretty much lives up to it. But he has a responsible side as well. He seems to be the only one who tries to fix up the mansion where most of his family still lives, to make it at least livable. He has dreams for his future and is saving money to make those dreams come true. The town definitely misunderstands him, he’s got plenty of enemies. Maybe some due to his own bad choices. But, the day she reappears in his life, the only one that he ever had any interest in having more than a one night stand with, the one that got away, or rather ran away, everything changes. Suddenly his future dreams seems like they just might come true.
Daisy Lundin is barely surviving. She is twenty six years old. She lost the family dairy farm, works as a waitress, and has gone back to school and is surviving on student loans and waitressing tips. Who would have ever thought that she would end up working right across the street from HIM?! The man she ran away from seven years ago. The man she wants to be no where near. Until the choice is out of her hands and she finds herself face to face with him. This time, as she gets to know Vic, really get to know him, she realizes how wrong she was about him. Or maybe he’s just grown up in those seven years? But he’s a good man. He’s a kind man. And he’s just as sexy as he was seven years ago. She also gets to know his huge family and they instantly accept her into the fold. She never thought she could be part of a family again, especially one this huge and it feels really good.
“Vicious Vaughn is the man everyone warns you about. He’s the man you’re never supposed to date. He’s also the man no girl in her right mind would say no to.”
Maybe Vic brings out the wild side of Daisy, the side she never allows to surface. Maybe Daisy brings out the best side of Vic. Perhaps he didn’t even know this part of himself? But both of them jump in pretty quickly to see where things might go. I loved how patient Vic was. How forgiving. I also should admit that at first I struggled a bit with Daisy and a major decision she made. But again, as things progressed, I realized that maybe it happened that way for the best?
Once I got past my initial reaction to Vic and Daisy, I fell in love with them. This book was so much fun. It was super sexy and steamy, it was silly, maybe even over the top silly at times. But it was also sweet and so swoony. And that ending!!! At 10:00 at night I was at eighty percent and there was no way on earth I was going to be able to put it down. Even when I finished, it took me a good while to settle down and sleep. I have several of this authors books on my to read list. I’ve just never gotten to them. But this book makes me want to. This was one crazy wild ride I’m so glad I took!

Narration: 🎙🎙🎙🎙
Romance: 💚🖤💙💜❤️
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📕📗📙📘📔
World building: 🌏🌍🌎🌍🌏
Character development: 😤😥😊🤩😘
The heroine: Daisy Lundin - When her parents died with more than three million dollars of debt, she was forced to sell the family farm. She had to move into town and is going to school and working while living in student housing and raising her daughter Vivienne.
The Hero: Vicious “Vic” Vaughn - Local tattoo artist and bad boy. He never wants to marry or have children. He has five nieces and a nephew and doesn’t know their names. The girls are all named after Disney princesses so he just calls them all ‘Princess’.
The Story: Daisy now lives in town and her daughter, Viv notices how Daisy looks at the local Tattoo shop, Sick Boyz. Daisy has mixed feelings about the shop because seven years ago, she used to fool around with Vic and thinks he probably doesn’t even remember her. So when Viv shows interest in the shop, Daisy tells her never to go in there.
This book was told out of sequence and went between the current time and the past and even went back to the earlier in the day at one point. I usually don’t like second chance romance but I like it if they do flashbacks to when the two main characters first met, which this one does.
I don’t want to get too far into the story and give away too much, but I really liked this one. I know I read another J.A. Huss book a few years ago which had to do with some of the other Vaughn’s, which I also really liked. This family has a bunch of crazy characters. Vic is one of the most interesting of the bunch. I really enjoyed this book.
The book was told in multiple points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by C.J. Mission and Emma Wilder who both do a great job. C.J. Mission sounds a bit like Chris Pine, to me at least. I would have liked a narrator with a deeper more gravely voice for Vicious Vaughn, but He did a good job either way. Emma Wilder has a feminine yet intelligent sounding voice which matched the college student very well.

Whiplash. Spastic. Nonsense. Contrived. Unlikable.
Be prepared to be mentally whiplashed into confusion. She hates him for no apparent reason. She ditches him and keeps a pregnancy a secret for no apparent reason. Suddenly, she’s “always” liked him for no apparent reason. Suddenly, she wants some fairytale with the guy she 1) doesn’t know 2) hated 3) abandoned. I don’t get it. If feels like what I’d imagine a bad acid trip feels like while lost in the woods.
The start of the book is basically a Big Johnson t-shirt. For those unaware, BJ t-shirts have shit like… “mean girls suck.. nice girls swallow.” Basically, anything and everything half sexist cringe and half har huff. I’m no prude, but when every single line that comes out of your mouth is about degrading women, calling them bitches, etc… it quickly becomes unattractive. It’s okay, though, cause he’s just so misunderstood *insert eyeroll.*
The MMC is supposed to be alphahole biker tattoo artist. He succeeds at being an ass… too well. The shit that is the MMC is cringeworthy and snort-inducing. Who has no idea what his nieces names are? Who brings a kid to an AA meeting just for a free donut? This dude isn’t just a manwhore… he’s like a free ride at the cheap carnival.
Amazingly, the FMC comes across even worse. In college, she took that free ride on the cheap carnival and ended up knocked up. Keeps the kid from him. Kid wanders off to meet daddy. FMC finds out and says this to the police….
“No! What the actual fuck? He has never even met her! She does not know him! He is a stranger! And he needs to be arrested, right now!”
And, when the police point out that the kid looks just like the MMC’s family…
“Absolutely not. She is not his child. He is a kidnapper. And I want him arrested immediately.”
Manhole or not, wtf kinda person 1) hides a kid from dad 2) tries to get him arrested for his daughter finding him.
The manhole finally figured out he doesn’t have one of his nieces… he has what must be his kid from one of the random carnival rides. He is advised to be nice to said unknown mom when he returns the kid to the police. His thoughts….
I sigh. “Fine. I’ll be nice to the bitch.”
MCs aren’t likable.
But then there’s Vivi, the six-year old kid of these two fucked up MCs. How can you not keep reading when the cute kid loves them both and just wants her damn goldfish?!?
Of course, the kid conveniently stays with the MMC sister so that the story can progress to the MCs screwing their way into a HEA. <<< Nonsense plot device.
ALERT. Alert. Red. MOFO. ALERT.
Whiplash incoming….
From never wanting to see him… acting as if he is the scum on the bottom of Ted Bundy’s shoes and needs to be arrested to saying this….
But I mean, I’m one of them now, right? I’m family. Yes. Even if I’m not family the way Vivian is, I’m her mother. I matter to these people.
Why? How?
Well, he asks her out on a date, and suddenly she’s all Brady Bunch, not Ted Bundy. WTH?
And then this…
In fact, the more I get to know Vic, the more I realize he is exactly the kind of man I need.
How has she gotten to know him? It hasn’t even been 24 hours since she met him after spending ONE night with him seven years ago, and they’ve spent all of five minutes talking since she deemed him unworthy to even know he had a kid?
He is clearly drinking the same KoolAid. He’s gone from having screwed everything with two legs to being ready to settle down and have 3,001 kids with the FMC just because she’s a lady in the street and a freak in the sheets. Wtf?!?
Suddenly, they’re screwing with no protection. Not a heat of moment oops….
And I do not even care that he’s inside me and that’s exactly how we got here.
I can’t.
It gets worse when this turns all giggly teenage drama as this grown ass woman is detailing her sexcapades with a bunch of 19-yo girls.
DNF at 60% cause this shit is giving me brain-freeze.

LOVED this one. The "misunderstanding" that sets up the book is brilliant.
ETA: second listen through... this is still one of my favorites. The narration is great and especially the little kid. She's so cute and the narration for the kid (by both narrators) is great!
"Can I stay the whole weekend at the farm? They're picking up GOATS today, baby goats, Vicious, I need these in my life." LOL
Then she says: "What part of BABY GOATS didn't you understand? Vicious, I'm DESPERATE for baby goats. I will die a horrible death today if I don't get to play with baby goats before lunch."
So cute.

I think 50% mark is a perfect place to DNF. this one was not it for me. Our hero is a playboy and its gross that everyone in the town hates him and his family for their 'reputation'. The outright disdain people have for him is too dramatic. But i dont like our hero either since he's described to have flirted and bedded with basically everyone and bleh. Believe it or not our heroine is worse. She's a judgemental bish who won't give our hero a chance despite him never doing one thing wrong. She punishes him on his reputation and rumors that are spread by awful people. Ugh. Bye

Vicious “Vic” Vaughn is here and let me say he doesn’t disappoint. He is a Vaugh after all! Vic fell for the good girl seven years ago until she disappeared. Now, Daisy is back in their small Colorado town and Vic is in for the surprise of his life. Can this bad boy, tattoo artist get the good girl to be his? Omg, this book is hilarious! He certainly has ahem..a way with children LOL. Get ready to laugh out loud and truly enjoy this feel good Romantic comedy. There is also a jaw dropping twist but that’s all I can say. All the shrikes and their kids are back too but this can be read as a stand-alone. I could not put this down! Get ready to fall for Vicious! Told in dual POV

This started put a little rocky. Vic swears and curses and has a “don’t give a F attitude”. As it plays out I found myself laughing quite a lot. The situations he finds himself in are hilarious. Daisy is a struggling mum to a 6yr old (very grown up 6yr old!) and she features in this story quite a bit, which i enjoyed. I need to go back and read Rook and Ronin series now.

I thought I had a fascination with Vic Vaughn before, but after reading this book, I am even more in love and obsessed with him! And I LOVE how Julie made Vic's story a romantic comedy. I would have never thought Vic would be so funny, but he is, and I couldn't get enough!
Seven years ago, Daisy Lundin was a one night stand that Vic decided he was going to make into more, but she ghosted him, so he's been dating random women, most of them bat shit crazy. And now, through a series of very amusing events, Daisy is back in Vic's life, and he is bound and determined to keep her there. But since half the town seems to hate the Vaughn family, nothing is simple when it comes to trying to prove he really can be a good guy. With a name like Vicious, and a reputation that is not stellar, can he convince Daisy he is worth it?
Julie really spins a highly entertaining story, full of twists and turns, laugh out loud moments, the entire Vaughn clan and the whole extended family. If you've read Julie's Rook and Ronin series, you will recognize them all. What an awesome trip down memory lane! If you haven't met those guys yet, not to worry, Vic and Daisy's story is a complete standalone and by the time you finish, I'm betting you'll be wanting to go back and read about that cast of infamous characters, too.
This story was a fun break from the more intense, dark stuff that Julie normally writes, and I really hope we're going to be seeing more of Vic and Daisy and the whole Vaughn clan popping up in future books. They're a fascinating bunch, for sure!

I loved this book.
That's my review.
No j/k I tease
Vic Vaughn is a big beautiful bad boy biker and I love him. I claim him. Mine. Daisy is a sweet good girl who totally ghosted him seven years ago but now finds herself right back in front of him. This book is sweet, romantic, and funny as hell. Vic is hilarious! I was actually lol'ing while reading.
If you've been a long time fan of J.A. Huss's, you will recognize some characters who pop in for cameo appearances. However, this is a total standalone book. You don't have to read anything else before you read this. After you read this, you will want to read everything she's ever written because the books are amazing, but that's just a bonus.
I have read this twice already, and I will read it over and over. I loved it.

Is Vic Vaughn the legendary bad boy of Fort Collins or is he a much maligned and misunderstood guy trying to take care of his family? Vic Vaughn is Vicious is a story about not judging a book by its cover—at least in terms of the character’s reputation because the story and the book’s cover are gorgeous.
In this standalone, second-chance-at-love romantic comedy, author J.A. Huss gives her readers the story of Vic Vaughn. Readers have been teased by cameo appearances by this bad boy biker/tattoo artist in other books, and we have finally been rewarded with his story. I feel live I’ve been rewarded handsomely for patiently waiting. I love Vic’s backstory; he is not the guy I thought he’d be. I love his crazy family and extended circle of friends and their sincere love and support for one another. Most of all, I love the new additions to his story—Daisy and Vivian. These two gals swept me off my feet.
Whether a romantic suspense, a conspiracy thriller, or a romantic comedy, author J.A. Huss’ storytelling is always engaging and entertaining. True to style, Ms. Huss has included some interesting twists in Vic Vaughn is Vicious. Some of her twists are funny and some of them kept me on the edge of my seat wondering where that unexpected turn would take her characters. I enjoyed every minute of this “E-ticket” ride; it was a great choice for my vacation read.

I keep saying it and will continue to say it. JA Huss writes interconnected stories in such an amazing way that even if you never read a story in this world before, you will be completely enthralled by the complexity of her story line and of her world. Do you need to read previous stories? Not really but once you've read one, you will want to read them all to see how everything ties together (no worries, you won't be lost though). Vic Vaughn comes across as a true villian...but then you see the amazing beauty of the man he is come shining through. From an amazing uncle to his princesses that starts this entire story down the rabbit hole (a good rabbit hole mind you), to the arrogant but amazingly funny, loving man that so many never get to see, to the troublemaker who may not be the troublemaker. He is a man of many facets, that much layered onion that makes you want to just sit down and take notice. I laughed alot in this story. Sis just completely sucked me in and I want a child just like her. All the princesses (and Oliver) had me rolling with their personalities. In the end, both Daisy and Vic find out what life really is about and who would do absolutely everything for them and of course, who each of them really are!

Another colorful adventure with JA Huss! So many laugh out loud moments with Vic. Great story! Love visiting with characters from other amazing JA Huss titles. Excellent narration by CJ Bloom (new to me narrator) & Emma Wilder.

Vic Vaughn is 🔥🔥🔥
Best book I've read in such a long time, it had me saying just one more page and just one more chapter. It seriously sucks you right in. It's was hilariously funny but sweet and totally sexy one that got away story. Vic is everything you want him to be and Daisy is such a strong woman. I loved every minute of it and you will too.

Vic is a bad-boy. Daisy, ghosted him seven years ago after she came to her senses and he thought about her for … maybe a week? Maybe less. That was a soul-searching week for him. He just didn’t understand why she would retract her number. She would’ve had to have been painstakingly careful in her effort not to awaken him. She then would’ve had to use his fingerprint to open his phone…and then she would’ve had to search for her name.
Daisy was nineteen when they were together and she deletes his number.
Seven years later, he spends a day with a little girl he mistakenly assumes is one of his nieces, unbelievable that he doesn’t know his nieces. He’s convinced his sister dropped one of her girls off at his shop to babysit. Vivian is Daisy’s daughter and she wandered off from the restaurant (Daisy doesn’t check on her for hours, finally realising that she’s missing).
“Spence! I got your kid.”
“Vic? What the f-k are you doing here?”
“What do ya mean? Dropping the kid off.”
Spencer looks at me.
Spencer looks at the kid.
Spencer looks over his shoulder to an approaching Veronica. “Are we missing a kid?”
“What?” Ronnie wipes her hands on her apron. “What are you talking about?”
“Vic says he’s dropping off a kid. Is she ours?”
I am watching this conversation with fascination. These people. They have so many kids they can’t keep track of them.
“Vic. That’s not one of our kids.”
I laugh. “Nice try, sister.”
She puts her hands on her hips. “No. I’m dead f-g serious. Not my kid, Vic. Where did you get this child?”
“What?”
“Where did this kid come from?”
“She… her… you’re wrong. She’s a princess! I mean, look at her!”
“Vic.” Is Spencer using his dad voice on me? “Where did you get this kid?”
I suddenly can’t breathe. “The shop, she came into the shop this morning and sat down.”
“Vic.” Is Ronnie using her mom voice on me? “Please tell me you did not have this kid all day. Please tell me you are not that stupid.”
“Stupid! What are you talking about? She looks just like you! Just like them!” I point to her… one, two, three, four, five, six kids now standing on the porch. Princess Rory is holding the baby, Oliver is snickering like a little a**hole, and the bossy one is shaking her head at me, passing judgment with her arms crossed.
And then an alert blares into the peaceful summer night. I know what that alarm is. Everyone knows what that alarm is. It’s annoying and we all want to turn it off, but we don’t. Because it’s an Amber Alert. And if a kid goes missing, you need to know about that.
Spencer pulls his phone out to check, then holds it up so I can see.
And right there, in full color, is the sis.
Under her is me. The perp.
Under that is a pic from the swap meet.
Both of us all dressed up like bikers.
His nieces all have Disney Princess names, but he’s unable to tell them apart, he refers to all of them as ‘Princess’. Not paying attention to Ronnie’s kids, he mistakes his unknown daughter as his niece for a day.
Lucille, a TA from seven years ago (scorned lover), sets an elaborate trap of revenge, complete with charges of child endangerment, kidnapping, an amber alert, CPS, restraining orders, etcetera.
If Daisy had just come up to him one day and said, “Hey, this is your kid,” he would might have been scandalised. But spending a day with Vivian, thinking she was his niece, with the opportunity to be himself with her—and her with him—it somehow worked.
Perhaps they weren’t ready seven years ago. Both needing the time apart so that when they got there, they’d be ready, allowing room for mistakes and then recovering from them.

The heroine completely ruins this book for me. This book is about Daisy and Vic. They had a ons 7 years ago which resulted in a pregnancy. Daisy moved back in with her parents and lived on their farm and after they passed away in a car accident she moved back close to Vic. She never told Vic about the child to spite him for her perceived rejection. Once he finds out after the child finds him she has the audacity to be mad at him??? Like what??? You never told a man he had a child because you were mad he did not call you back which in cliche land is because of a miscommunication. Vic is great hero but he forgave daisy too easily and was soo accommodating towards her.

This book is fantastic!!! If you've read any of the Rook & Ronin books than you know all about the Vaughn family and the ties they have with Fort Collins. This book tells the story of Vic Vaughn, Veronica "the Bombshell's" brother but we see so many familiar faces that it just feels like a family reunion. Without giving anything away the first few chapters with Vic and a little girl he just call Princess are absolutely fabulous and will have you laughing out loud.

This is really cute and funny. The "kidnapping" princess scene really stood out to me. I loved this one and it was a nice refresher in my reading streak.

Vic Vaughn is Vicious had me feeling all kinds of ways reading this book. I really enjoyed the cameo appearances from previous Huss world characters. And that cover...swoon!
August 31, 2021
Vic Vaughn is Vicious is pure joy! I haven't had this much fun reading a book in ages. J.A. Huss showing us once more how diversified a writer she is, this time giving us a lighter read but one that is still full of heart. Perfect for any fan of Rook, Ronin, Spencer, Ford, and the rest of that incredible crew, Vic Vaughn will steal your book boyfriend loving soul as he goes through a wild 8 days finding the girl that got away and oh so much more.
As a legend in the tattoo world, his small-town in Colorado have mixed feelings about this supposed bad boy and his manwhore ways. Not to mention the 'side job' he has up in the hills, his reputation clearly precedes him. But he is really a great guy who helps take care of his Gramps and the run-down mansion they live in. The town eyesore, it provides a place for extended family to lay their heads and plenty of fodder for the town to joke about.
But it has character, much like those who inhabit it and once Vic is back with Daisy, the woman who rocked his world and then disappeared 7 years prior, the place becomes more of a home than he could have ever guessed as Daisy brings the love that was missing from his life in more ways than one. I couldn't help but chuckle and often as a day-long adventure Vic has with his presumed niece is straight-up comic relief. Just to be able to experience one day with the sexy beast had me clamoring for much more. And once Daisy and a special little lady are now a part of his world, his life only gets crazier with an insane few days in and out of jail and an ending that made me smile huge.
We get a glimpse into the lives of those afore-mentioned legends of Huss's imagination, with Vic needing their expertise and connections like never before. This unconventional family may be a mystery to those who live amongst them but their dedication and loyalty are unmatched when it comes to one of their own. We even get a bit of shortened version of their extreme pasts for those who may have not read Huss's prior books and it gives Daisy plenty to think about as she is now in deep love with her former one-night stand.
A must-read and perfect for the late summer blues, Vic Vaughn is Vicious is worthy of 5 huge stars. It's full of mirth, has plenty of passionate trysts, and features characters who are unforgettable. I can't think of anything better.

This was a fantastic read from Julie...... funny, witty, emotional, with lots of drama and a whole load of Vaughns and Shrikes to got with it, what more could you ask for??!!
Vicious 'Vic' Vaughn is the bad boy, MC tattooist of their small town, hated by the town but loved by all the women. Seven years ago he had his world rocked by Daisy, dressed as a milkmaid but whom Vic called Little Bo Peep. He was looking forward to more from her, but when he woke up she was gone, never to be heard of again, until now, and she has a heck of a surprise for him as well.
This was a brilliant, feel good, laugh out loud rom-com with a trip down memory lane to go with it if you've read some of Julie's previous books. No previous reading necessary, this is a complete standalone, but after reading this you may well want to read some of her other books if you haven't already!!

I am biased. I love everything Julie Huss writes and I absolutely love the world of Rook+Ronin/The Company/Sick Boys/The Mister and everything else. I don’t know how but I never realized this book was tied to those so I just discovered it. It was such a fun trip back to Fort Collins and it makes me want to re-read all of the other books again.
Vicious Vaughn is basically a male bimbo and I love it. I laughed out loud and enjoy this story so much. Even as a standalone without knowing the history of the other books, I absolutely think anyone would enjoy this book. Well, as long as you have a sense of humor and enjoy spice 😉

This is quite the rollercoaster of an emotional read. All the emotions are there...all of them.
This book was just fun to read. I LOVE Vic Vaughn, love him. He's perfect and perfectly flawed, very human. Daisy took me a minute to love but, I did eventually get there with her. Her past choices took a bit of forgiving on my part. And, can we just mention the fact of how dang amazing of a character Vivi is?
Lots of secrets and intrigue. I had forgotten just how much I loved this world that Huss has created. It's been a long while since I visited any of those characters. This Vaughn family...and extended family/pack/friends, they're such an amazing group of well written and complex characters.
I truly hope to see more in this world.

If Vic Vaughn is Vicious, as in 'thanks, mom and dad for that name!', then it makes even more sense that he should have a 'tiny sleuthing genius' of a daughter, named Vivian. And since we are lucky enough that she came from the creative mind of JA Huss and the best fictional part of Colorado, it would also stand to reason that Vivi's mom would be named Daisy, an honest to goodness dairy farmer/college co-ed, who is doing her best to avoid the father of said tiny genius. This is the rom com that I needed, full of wit, humor and poignancy. And did I mention, unicorns?! This is a standalone book, but if you ever dipped a toe into the Rook and Ronin world you are in for a treat!! I loved every page.
August 20, 2021
Vicious Vaughn. I didn't know I was going to love him as much as I do. Honestly, I hadn't given him much thought through all the books of Julie's I have read. I am so very happy she gave him his own story. This is an amazing read that is almost impossible to put down.
Vic is the guy every mother warns their daughter about. Every girl wants to be with him. Seems like he goes for the crazy girls, until her. Seven years ago a beautiful milkmaid came into his life and he had thoughts of trying to settle down a little. Then she ghosts him. He is bummed, but hey, this Vic. He just gets back up and goes about his life.
Daisy is back in Fort Collins again after leaving seven years ago. She is living her life and trying to get by. Then Vic Vaughn is shoved into her life and things will never be the same again. The man she thought was just a one-night stand is so much deeper than she thought he could be.
We get visits from characters' past. Yes, I still love them. Fort Collins is still full of secrets and some are about ready to be revealed. This is a light-hearted book that will have you smiling or laughing.
I want to tell you so much more, but I will give away huge spoilers if I do.

Vicious Vaughn is absolutely another favorite character of JA that I absolutely love. Vic will definitely make you swoon hard. Vic & Daisy are absolutely perfect together and of course Vivian is truly adorable. I was so thrilled to see Ron the bomb(Veronica) & Spencer and their whole tribe. This book made me laugh and have a smile on my face. This book will definitely give you the feels. I love the Vaughn clan and I’m hoping their stories are next. Another phenomenal read that I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Absolutely Loved!!!!
JA Huss has done it AGAIN!! But instead of a twisty turny blow your mind kinda story, we get a fun, light, swoonworthy tale. Vic and Daisy are fantastic, as if there was any other option. Vic, the big, bad tattoo artist FINALLY gets his story told. And man oh man is he not what I, or anyone probably, expected. He is so much more. This story was just what I needed. A light read that had a look into what old, familiar characters have been up to.

So much fun! I love the characters and revisiting lots of characters from past books.
Vic is freaking hilarious! I love his attitude, heart and ridiculous but refreshing comments.
It’s a very unique comedic romance.
There’s lots of humor, heart and some drama.

Loved reading Vicious story! The opening of this book is pure magic and had the extra special effect of seeing Ronnie’s kids and the hilarity of all the little mini Ronnie’s that led to the mistaken identity! This book was such a treat to read! I love JA Huss!

Reading this book just made me happy…
This raucous fun ride of a tale warms your heart, makes you laugh, and proves again you can’t judge a book by his cover. While Daisy is and always will be a sweet farm girl, she has a wild streak. And Vic Vaughn may look like a criminal who doesn’t give a frag about the law or other people, but he is a nice guy underneath the bluster. The story is second chance love, older guy/younger girl, secret baby all in a fast paced format that kept me turning pages as fast as I could. The big baddie angst may be serious but doesn’t last long and the HEA is truly sigh worthy.
