Devlin

Starlight Mountain Saviors #3

by Tarin Lex

Starlight Mountain Saviors Book 3
A Curvy Girl, Bad Boy Cop Romance


I just found out the man who kidnapped me has been convicted.
That’s a reason to celebrate, if I ever heard one.
Or not? I feel a Chex-mix bag of emotions. Might as well throw in some Doritos, too, after I bump my car into a parked police car.
With the dead-sexiest cop inside it.


Women are trouble. All of them are.
I should give this one a ticket—I see she’s got plenty of them.
Trouble, like I said.
But I’d rather bend her over my cruiser.
Or better yet, put her sweet bottom in the shotgun seat and make her mine forever.

Hi readers! This one is hella short, highly steamy, and totally OTT! Rebel is equal parts tough and gooey, and Devlin is soo lovable. Okay maybe he isn’t the nicest guy, or the most sympathetic considering her past. But Rebel doesn’t need anyone’s sympathy. She’d choose being alone or finding her rock who’s in it for the Big Forever. If he earns her heart, he gets it all. Every little weird part of it.
xx, Tarin

The Celebration . . .

Rebel is leaving the grocery store when her phone rings, distracts her, and her friend Jane gives her the good news that her kidnapper has been convicted! She had been his third victim, and he got off the first two times! It’s about time for something to go right… but finishing the phone call, she backs up into a police cruiser! Not a good beginning. Devlin doesn’t ticket her when he hears her story, but she does need a ride now since her car is damaged and needs to be towed. But she needs to get her groceries put away quickly. He is just getting off shift and says he will take her to his place, she can put her groceries in his refrigerator, and then he can change and they can go out and celebrate -- since she insists all her friends are either still working or pregnant! He teases her about having “that many” pregnant friends. But finding they have mutual friends brings them even closer. Will this celebration be just for tonight? Or will they choose to pursue something more permanent?

This is a cute story that will put a smile on your face. Grab your copy and see how the evening works out for them.

Rebel was just not having her best day. She got good news and then hit a parked cop car. She saw him approach from the rear view mirror and forgot home to talk.
Devlin went to ask for her license because he wanted to know who this beauty was. He saw her car was damaged from the accident and due to get off from his shift, he told her he'd take her back to his place as she had groceries and get her home later. Later never came though. She gathered up some nerves and went after what she wanted, HIM! They were enjoying each others company when they got a call from mutual friends. They went to help and when they were done she went back to his place and never left.

I loved Devlin: Grouchy Hero, Steamy Cop Romance Book 3 of Starlight Mountain Saviors. It was a short and sweet read with a HEA. Rebel just got the best news and then hit a police cruiser. Devlin is the cop she hit. When she explains her news he lets her go but she needs a ride. They have an amazing chemistry. Is this a one time thing or is there a future for Rebel and Devlin? They are about to part ways when they realize their friends are having a baby and they end up spending the night together. Will they believe in love at first sight? Loved this storyline and the characters. I would definitely recommend this book and the series.

Who could be better to get in trouble with a cop then Rebel herself? Lex's choice for names is perfect in this book and really makes for a fun read.

I want to know more of Rebel's past but we are given that there has been trauma that seems to finally come to the surface when she finds out that her kidnapper has been convicted. There's so many emotions going on with her that when she's backing up, she literally hits a cop car.

While some details don't seem like they would "actually" happen, the story is a super fun read and a page turner for sure.

I can't wait to read the next book in the Starlight Mountain Saviors series by Tarin Lex.

Rebel found out that the guy who kidnapped her years ago was convicted, this cause for a celebration. The day does not get better when she backs into a police car. He has got to be the sexiest man she has ever seen.

Devlin knows this woman is going to cause him trouble, she has him thinking things he should not about someone on a traffic stop. Next thing he knows she is riding with him to his house, all ideas of being professional are gone.

What if he never wants her to leave?.

No wasted time!! This is about Rebel and Devlin. Rebel has just discovered that the man who kidnapped her years ago is finally getting what he deserves. These two meet as she is not paying attention while backing up and hits his cruiser. She gets out to check on the damage, and he tells her to return to the car. From this point on, everything moves FAST! I liked it, but for someone who was relieved, I can’t see jumping in that fast. Overall the book was good, I just expected a bit more!.

So quick!

Of the three Starlight Mountain books this one FLEW by. As in Delvin and Rebel moved so fast I could barely keep up. They loved each other from the very beginning and even though it was fast it was good that Delvin was able to help Rebel through some of her issues from the past.

Overall the writing was good in this one but a few of the plot topics didn’t quite make sense to me. If you want an extremely quick read with a sassy FMC and a slightly grumpy cop MMC this one is for you.

HEA
Standalone, interconnected characters
Starlight Mountain Saviors series
Grumpy cop, Curvy woman
*over 18 readers only*

Trigger warning
Kidnapping

Rebel gets a phone call from Jane, letting her know her kidnapper has finally been convicted. She's so emotional that she accidentally backs into a police car. Devlin ends up taking her to his house. The plan was for him to change or if his uniform and them go out. But plans change...

There's supposed to be a 4th book, but it's not available on Amazon (August 2023).

[Veronica Albertson · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wasn’t too crazy about this one. The one about Rooker and Granger were much better, I feel like this one could have had more drama and more of a story line with these two characters. Decline wasn’t really a grump like the title says, but it was still really sweet how they fell in love at first sight. I am still looking forward to reading the next installment to this series.

This is the third book in the Starlight Mountain Saviors series, it's a fun and quick to read instalove romance. Rebel just received some good news when she drove into a police car. Devlin gives Rebel a break once hearing her news but does her a lift since she can't use her own car. There relationship progresses swiftly after realizing that they have friends in common and they have never meet previously. Sweet story.

A fun and charming read

Devlin is the third book in the Starlight Mountain Saviors series. This fast-paced and charming story is about Rebel and Devlin. They meet when she backs into his car when she is trying to back out of a parking spot. This would normally not be much but as it turns out it is Devlin's work car and that means it is a police cruiser. Should he write her up or lick her up and down.....my money is on the licking as it is just so much more fun.

I've enjoyed this entire series so far...but I think Devlin and Rebel's story has been my favorite so far. Rebel was trying to celebrate a life changing moment in her life and winds up hitting a cop car....Devlin's cop car. This was a great story!.

Devlin the police office vs Rebel the caterer. Good story. Almost like the stars lined up and happenstance has made it so. Instant bonding and acceptance of their thoughts and bantering. A short read with steam. No cliffhanger.

A well written story with fantastic characters. Rebel and Devlin are instantly attracted to one another. They have mutual friends without knowing it. Even though they've only known eachother a short time, is there more behind the desire they have for eachother?...

Devlin and Rebel meet in an interesting way when she bumps into a police car. I loved the way the author brought Devlin and Rebel together and how an accidental meeting turns into a love story. This is a short and fun story with likable characters, fun banter, and a happily ever after. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Overall I liked this short story. I thought that they just clicked well. Even though it was quick there was a ton of chemistry. Timing for other parts of the story were rushed but they get their HEA.

I absolutely love the newest book in the Srarlight Mountain Saviors series. Rebel has had it very hard, and when she meets Devlin, her life truly begins. These two truly complete each other, and I love their perfect ending. Tarin always gives us the greatest characters and stories.

A whirlwind romance that begins when a small fender bender upsets Rebel’s day. Quick connection that takes them both by surprise. Liked the easy banter and the future they both envision.

A fast paced instant attraction story. Devlin is a cop and Rebel is the girl who bumps into him. They end up finding out they have more in common then they originally thought. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
