His name is Steel Cross. Let me say it again people. Big Papa's real name is Steel freaking Cross. Could there ever be a more bada** name in all the literary world than that? I surely cannot think of one. And of course, Lani Lynn Vale would be the one to give it. To someone who's road name is Big Papa no less. Let's just say that BP lives up to his name on both accounts. In every sense of every word.
I have been fascinated with Big Papa since I first was introduced to him in Aaron's book, when I saw how he stepped up after Stone's death- both to lead the Police Department and the Dixie Wardens. It took quite a man to fill those kind of shoes, and BP was able to do it beautifully. He was such an genuine man, always standing behind his brothers, always being there 100% for his son, and being one of the most fierce law enforcement officers you'd ever hope to have in your corner. However, lucky in love he was not. BP had come across his fair share of lemons in the lady department, and I was scared that he was just never going to find what his fellow brethren had.
Until Winnie came along. All of the sudden, he has this new neighbor that he's finding himself pretty heavily attracted to, actually finding that she's the most beautiful woman to have ever graced his vision. But there are a few hiccups along Winnie and BP's way of course, because no romance is ever smooth sailing. A douchebag ex for her- a money hungry one for him, a daughter of hers that can't seem to stay out of trouble, and just the everyday Lani Lynn drama and suspense that comes along in a Vale book, keeps these two from being all peaches and cream. But, when they finally do get their shot- it is SO worth it. They make magic. It is beautiful, and hot and everything you could ever want for Big Papa if you love him as much as I do. Every ounce of happiness that you could have ever wished for him, and Winnie too once you meet her, they get. In spades. While theirs may not have been the most conventional of romances, it was no less fantastic, and no less amazing. I loved every word, and it left me aching for me Dixie Warden books, because it guts me to ever think of having to say goodbye to these guys. They pull you in so well, and you immediately fall for every one of them. So, Law & Beard, just like every other LLV book I've read, gets a well deserved 5 stars from me!!!

About LAW & BEARD
Winnie thinks she has the perfect life.
Two beautiful, healthy children. A police officer husband. A job that she loves. Oh, and let’s not forget that she’s a nationally ranked marathon runner.
Fast forward six months, and her perfect life has imploded.
Winnie finds herself in a completely new world, and this new world is a brutal bitch.
In this new life of hers, her husband is gone. He realizes, at the worst possible time, that he’s no longer in love with her. He’s in love with her best friend. So he leaves, and doesn’t look back.
Her sixteen-year-old daughter is in trouble with the law, and she’s barely making ends meet thanks to losing the job that was keeping her and her tiny family afloat.
Then, the last thing that could make it all bearable, her running, is ripped out from under her, too. Thanks to a spinal stroke that leaves her unable to walk, let alone run, she’s having to relearn how to do the simplest of tasks—such as putting on her own pants.
She’s at the lowest of lows, and the last thing she wants is a sexy, bearded, motorcycle riding alpha to tell her how to live her life.
But Steel Cross never asks her what she wants.
***
The moment Steel Cross sees Winnie’s daughter steal some shoes for her younger brother, he knows he’s in trouble.
He’s a sucker for misunderstood teens. After all, he was once one himself.
He knows he can’t just walk away, and the moment he sees that troubled teen’s mother, he doesn’t just know it, he feels it. Down to the very bottom of his soul.
With his share of hard knocks, he knows that he shouldn’t step in and make his move on a fellow police officer’s ex. There’s a code, after all, yet he just can’t seem to help himself.
He’s done being the good guy. Sometimes he just wants to be bad.
And Winnie makes him realize that being bad is still kind of good. As long as you’re with the right person.

Excerpt
I'd never, not once, had the pleasure of giving a blow job.
Yet, I wanted to give one…to Steel.
Jesus Christ, did I want to give him one.
The man turned me on in ways that I had no clue I could be turned on by, yet here I was, wondering what it would feel like to give the man a blow job.
My curiosity got the better of me as I googled more tips-which they'd said they'd done as a comparison-and then I got lost in the World Wide Web.
My first stop had been Cosmopolitan!
My second had been some random Joe-Blow (literally, that was the name of the website) blog that gave the men's top ten best blow job tips-according to men.
1. Maintain eye contact.
2. Tie your hair back, it shows your dedication.
3. Allow him to put his hand in your hair and control the movements.
That, I could do! In fact, the idea of Steel putting his hands in my hair and controlling all of the movement was downright arousing.
4. Use your hand as well as your mouth. Twist it side to side lightly as you pump and suck him.
Okay, pump, suck, and twist. Check!
5. Don't use your teeth. Ever.
I shivered at the thought. That would suck, accidentally biting Steel's dick. He'd probably never let me near him again and kick me straight the hell out of his bed. Though, I had to get in his bed first…
6. Drop down so he's standing and you're kneeling. There's nothing more arousing than watching a woman get on her knees.
That thought made me shiver. Would Steel like me on my knees?
I sure the hell hoped so. I'd love to get on my knees for him.
Then again, I was doing good with my rehab…he still might have to help me back up.
I winced. Maybe I should just get on the bed between his splayed thighs…yes, that was how I'd do it.
7. Suck his balls.
Suck his balls? How the hell did I put those in my mouth? There wasn't enough room!
8. Go slow. It's not a race.
9. Swallow.
Well, that was self-explanatory. But I didn't know if I could swallow. I'd try, but what if I gagged?
10. We like it when you gag.
Did they? What if I accidentally threw up? That would completely ruin the mood.
"What are you doing?"
I squeaked and jumped as Steel came out of the bathroom.
