I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

Don’t ever, ever, ever go near that boy. Not unless you want to be a single mother at seventeen. That boy is Bad with a capital B.

The words that my father spoke to me when it came to Trouper Aoki didn’t scare me like they probably should.

In fact, they only made me intrigued all the more.

When it came to Troup, there was just no resisting fate when it came to the two of us.

Even at eighteen, when we went our separate ways with the promise to come back to each other once we were done pursuing our careers, I knew he would always be it for me.

And color me surprised when eight years after making that pact with Trouper, we were once again reunited. Only this time in an undercover FBI investigation—me, the FBI officer, and Troup call sign ‘State’ as a military liaison.

Trouble always finds him. You’d do better to run far, far away.

Truer words had never been spoken.

From the time Troup was a young boy, he’d been in some kind of trouble.

So it only goes to show when he winds up in the FBI investigation with none other than Beckham Spurlock, his high school sweetheart, things are bound to go wrong.

Only, he has no idea how wrong until things go bad. Really, really bad.

All it takes is saving her by hurting another for him to see the wrong side of a jail cell.

To make matters worse, he has to live the next fifteen years in prison knowing that his son will grow up without him. And the woman he loves will likely move on to a man that isn’t so much trouble.

Lani Lynn Vale might have just handed us her most loyal couple of all time in an emotionally riveting way! With book two in her new Souls Chapel Revenants MC series we get Trouper and Beckham’s story in CONJUGAL VISITS and it does not disappoint! While the timeline spread is a little wonky of them finding each other again and getting to be together once and for all, their dedication and love for each other makes it all worth it. Loved them!

Trouper and Beckham are attention grabbing characters and the journey of getting to know them from their teenage selves to the grown version of each one after going on to earn the career of their dreams is fulfilling. The turmoil they find themselves going through in order to be together only makes them stronger and more determined to have their forever love. Though told in stages throughout the book, the character development winds up being fairly complete and satisfying.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who likes a connection of unlikely characters who are learning to be a team and coming together to right wrongs while reconnecting with the lives they left behind. I’m looking forward to so much more in the series!
