Amy's 5 star ARC Review of Rusty Nail (The Uncertain Saints MC Book 6) by Lani Lynn Vale

He knows that pain makes you stronger…

Wolf isn’t always a good person, and he doesn’t hesitate to say what’s on his mind.
He is who he is, and he doesn’t offer apologies.
He isn’t out to impress anyone, and he doesn’t make excuses for his actions.

She knows that fear makes you braver…

Raven has made some bad decisions, and she’d give anything to go back in time and choose a different path. 
The reality is that she can’t go back, and the day Wolf walks into her life, she finally realizes that maybe she doesn’t want to.
Wolf is everything she’s ever wanted, and the exact opposite of what she needs.

They both know heartbreak makes you wiser…

Wolf knows that this is not a good idea. There are a million reasons—all of them bad—telling him exactly why he should stay away.
But when Raven’s nightmares burst out of her dreams and into her reality, he doesn’t have a choice anymore.
He has to protect her, while somehow protecting his battered heart.

FINALLY – WOLF

If you are an Uncertain MC fan you have been waiting for this story. Wolf was first brought to us in Michael’s book – Coup de Grace. In an instant knowing what the man did for his friend in his death made me want his story immediately. However knowing Lani – I knew we would have to wait. 

Raven is continuing to live her nightmare in her head. She hasn’t told anyone what happened to her while she was taken. The only person that saw her was Wolf. He saw her broken and saw her bound. Not only did he care for her but he covered her and she will never forget how he held her. Leaving was the best thing to do. He has his girl – he has his life and he has his son Nathan. 
Needing someone like her and someone abused and used as she is certainly isn’t a page in his book that she feels he is eager to write. 

Wolf doesn’t feel that he is worthy of a strong woman like Raven. He knows she was tortured and seeing her testify against a man who brought that torture to her flesh deserves more than he can be or give her. Never in a million years did he expect her to run off though. As trouble begins to find Raven again along with Wolf and some other members of the MC he needs to enlist the help of a man who hates him. Keeping her safe may pose more difficult than it should be because Wolf is also a threat to her – her heart and her soul could cleanse his darkened self. 

This is one very in depth and beautiful read. I was completely terrified once Raven revealed what she endured and how she blamed herself for not keeping July safe. Raven tried her best to take the brunt of harm but evil took over and she watched them inflict pain on a woman that deserved nothing of the sort. Wolf sees the harm that his sister and Raven fight through still in their heads. Going back and forth between his own personal demons and living with July and Ravens showed a deeply emotional and loving man beneath the hard surface. A father like no other he never wavered from protecting Nathan either. 

Don’t skip over the chapter “Lanisms” as I have pegged them. They are once again brilliant. Sadly this is the last full length novel in this series but Lani has somewhat promised to keep these characters alive and well in future releases and we know they cross over into other story lines from time to time. I don’t think I can ever let any of the men from her series leave my heart completely. 

The cover as usual is spot on. The photograph shows the anxiety of Wolf and his life and the pain that vibrates through his soul. Excellent choice and kudos to the model. 

Amazing read – amazing ride with these men and so much more to come – Thank you for the ARC! Review to post to Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets.
