Though it certainly wasn't as satisfying as seeing them unwittingly fall deeper and harder for each other. I loved the angsty hate/lust thing that Piper and Hale had going between the two of them in the beginning. But that chemistry soon proves to be too much temptation to resist, especially when he begins to see the woman beneath the reputation of her family's last name.īeautiful Lawman was a delicious slow burn that I enjoyed from beginning to end. The last thing he needs is to give into the sizzling chemistry that seems to blaze between him and Piper. Hale Walters has always been on the right side of the law. Unfortunately her job does nothing to add to her already tarnished rep, especially for one particularly antagonistic sheriff that seems to think the worst of her along with the rest of the town. Scrambling to make ends meet, unable to get an acceptable job anywhere else in a town that hates her, she's forced to sling drinks at a strip club. Her parents were addicts that are now dead, her brother is in jail, and she's left on her own to raise her younger sister. Her family is the social pariah of the small town she's grown up in. Here's a woman that's lived anything but an easy life. Piper Walsh was a heroine I clicked with right away. The hands on his thighs were white-knuckled and clenched tight. She snuck a glance over her shoulder and the look on his face made her stomach dip to her toes.

Add to that story a dash of enemies to lovers trope, plenty of angst and sizzling steam and if that doesn't get you salivating, I don't know what will! Girl from the wrong side of the tracks falls for the sexy sheriff of the town that has never really accepted seems delicious enough.

I'm in love with this story and these characters. After finishing this book, I immediately went to amazon to one-click the rest of this series. I've been eyeing this series for months, and I honestly don't know why it took me this long to finally get to it. Why has it taken me this long to read this series? Why? I read Jordan's historical The Scandal of It All and became an instant fan. Not girls who woke in the middle of the night from nightmares because the past could never release its grip. Men like him went for the good girls of the world who went to college and took yoga classes and were raised by loving parents.
