Lani has done it again with another member of the Gator Bait MC from Accident, Florida. This is the story of Cassius and Alice. He's known her since she was a teenager, and he's stayed away from her because she is so much younger than him. However, Alice has been crushing on Cassius since she was old enough to notice him and prefers older men. Their story is classic, Lani, and so much fun to read. I love the pacing of her books. They are a delicious treat, and no matter when I get my copy of one of her books, I stop, drop whatever I'm reading, and gobble up her latest. It is a fun jaunt of a lot of steam, funny dialogue, and unique characters (you immediately love how they have learned to navigate their life with their personality quirks). I love how Lani has embraced characters who are neurodivergent and has them falling in love with partners who embrace them for who they are. There is some excitement and a bit of suspense. All of it adds up to another delightful read in the Laniverse. You will enjoy getting to know Alice and Cassius, not to mention getting to know the other guys of the Gator Bait even better. Loads of fun!

Cassius Ulysses Costas noticed Alice Paradis he knew she was too young and his views on relationships was already jaded.   Years later after a stint in prison, Cassius is back.  He has not changed his mind in getting involved with Alice but it does not stop him from admiring her from afar.  That is until she gets a job working for one of the members of Gator Bait MC.  Now he does everything to keep her from getting close but all that changes when she is attacked.  Can Cassius whether the storm that is coming his way.

I thought the story was going one way and it threw me for a loop.  One of the best so far in this series.  Cassius is a grumbly man, you get why.  I really liked Alice, she is outspoken and an instant favorite.  Terrific story that I was unable to put down.

Another great read from LLV!! I was hooked from the moment I started this book! It was pretty much a one sit read! I loved Cassius and Alice! If you love your books with romance and a touch of suspense this will be the book for you! This is a true standalone in the series! I absolutely recommend this book!

Annoyed at First Sight is the fourth book in the Gator Bait series by Lani Lynn Vale. This is Alice and Cassius's story! They have known each other since Alice was eighteen and Cassius watched her from afar. After spending time in prison, he's back home and when he sees Alice, he's annoyed AF. He wants her but he can't have her. He won't put himself through losing another person he cares about. He's grumpy, jerky and does everything he can to push her away. Alice is so funny and independent and her family relies on her too much. She sees Cassius and can't believe he's back. She had a crush on him when she was younger and it never really went away. But now he hates her and she has no idea why. Turns out, he's wildly attracted to her and fighting it. What's a girl to do? Show him what he's missing. He's doesn’t quite fall for it, but when she's in trouble he's the one she runs too. When Cassius finds Alice hurt, he vows to stop running. He tried that and it didn't work, only made him want her more. Now that they can fight together, she's safe, he's calmed down. I really loved Alice and Cassis! She's so freaking hilarious and smart and doesn't care what people think. He's so sweet and nice to everyone but her, but I get it! Together they made me laugh out loud and smile a lot. I loved her brother and so many of the secondary characters! Looking forward to the next one in the series!

Ahh Cassius' book! 
I was drawn to him in the first few books and to find out why he is the way he is and it's completely understandable.
I loved Alice too, she was funny and quirky and strong too.
I loved seeing the other guys too it's like revisiting old friends!
I can't wait for the next one!
