If hot and steamy is to your liking, then grab a copy of BEAUTIFUL LAWMAN by Sophie Jordan but only if you have time to read -- uninterrupted. Yep. BEAUTIFUL LAWMAN is one of those stories that need to be read in one setting -- or close to it. Characters are eclectic and hot, scenes are steamy and fun, and the story line is rather intriguing.

Piper and her sister Malia are very busy. Busy trying to keep their heads above water, which is a really difficult task. They live in a rather small town called Sweet Hill where their last name Walsh makes people kind of shudder. Which is so unfair, but hard to fight. So you might wonder why they don't move somewhere else.

And that's exactly what Sheriff Hale Walters tells Piper she should do. But there's an important vital reason that Piper stays in Sweet Hill and this strong willed stubborn woman isn't about to let anyone make her run. After all she has endured, Piper is willing to do just about anything to stay in this candidly inhospitable town.

Sure there are a few people who have been gracious, but they seem to be few and far between. Getting and keeping a job is a problem as well. No one is willing to overlook any issues that might put Piper in a bad light -- all because she is one of those Walshs. With the pickings real slim, Piper is put in a position that forces her to accept jobs that reinforce the ongoing perception of her family.

For some reason Hale is attracted to this petite woman who doesn't hesitate to speak her piece and has not made the best first impression. But that doesn't seem to stop him from running into her often. Piper knows there is a definite spark when Hale is nearby, but there is no way a Walsh could even try to call a lawman friend much less anything more.

Well like all magnets BEAUTIFUL LAWMAN, which is a Devil's Rock novel by Sophie Jordan, clearly illustrates the invisible tug of your heart when you find that special someone. And even more special when they are not at all what you were looking for, if you were even looking for that special person. Neither Hale nor Piper are looking for that special person. If we are being honest, it was just the opposite. Hale liked his freedom. Piper had a deep secret that prevented her from being a candidate for love.

But Sophie Jordan knew better. So she created these two fabulous characters. BEAUTIFUL LAWMAN has some of the steamiest scenes ever and it also resonates with some truly endearing moments.
