I’m Only Here for the Beard is the fourth book in Lani Lynn Vale’s The Dixie Wardens Rejects MC series. It can be read as a standalone but all the characters in this series are interconnected so its just so much more fun to read the whole series. Plus they are amazing books you do not want to miss. This is Sean and Naomi story.
Sean and Naomi are both two people who have both had their heart broken and are tired of it. Is it really worth it to put yourself out there and be dumped, hurt and alone. Heartache is no fun and they are tired of putting up with it. Naomi so much so that after being hit by her drunk brother while driving his patrol car she is even more sure of her choice to pick up an move six hours away to Alabama. She needs a change and to get away from the man she has been in love with for a long time who married another woman and is starting a family. Sean for his part thought he found a woman to settle down with a couple of times and they cheated or dumped him. However the last girl, Ellen, he was with was in love with left him for Jessie James a member of MC club and a person he sees every day and twice on Sunday. He was done. Finished. No more relationships period. He and Naomi are both Paramedic’s and end up being partnered together with Naomi being just certified and out of school. They both have a instant attraction to each other and both know better but a friendship starts to form. Will these two finally find their soulmates in each other?
I loved that this story was about two paramedics. It is something that I use to do before I couldn’t work anymore and I loved it. Sean and Naomi are both amazing characters. Naomi is a strong independent woman who only wants to be loved. Which if everyone is honest that is all anyone wants. Sean is in a MC and his dad is the president. He values brotherhood and works his butt off for what he has got. When he loves he loves fiercely and he thinks that when he meets Naomi he could be meeting the one for him. You just have to read the story to see what happens. I will tell you there is a element of what is going on and whose doing it in this book that will keep you on your toes. I loved the entire thing from front to back.
I can not wait to see where Lani Lynn Vale takes us next in this series. I want to read Ghost and Jessie and Ellie’s stories and I’m betting they have quiet the story to tell too. Lani Lynn Vale writes in such a way you leave every book feeling like you’ve made some friends you could invite over for a barbecue and just hang out for hours at a time. Do not miss this book or the others in this series. You will love them all and get to have a lot of fun while reading the books.
**Carla’s Five Star Review
I’m Only Here for the Beard is the fourth book in The Dixie Wardens Rejects MC series, and it is Sean and Naomi’s story.
What do you get when you place two people who drive each other mad into a close and stressful work environment? Chaos, I tell you, pure chaos. One minute, they are wanting to strangle each other, and the next, they are wanting to jump each other’s bones!
Sean is nursing a broken heart, and the last thing he needs in his life is another woman, so, when the beautiful and voluptuous Naomi shows up to work as his new partner, he wants no part of it. Naomi is just out of paramedic school and is super ready to jump in and save some lives, but the last thing she wants is to work with a drop dead sexy man who carries a huge chip on his shoulders. As these two are forced to spend more and more time together, they slowly let their guards down and realize that the attraction they share is just too strong to deny. Just as things begin to gel between them, actions are taken and words are said that can’t be taken back. Will these two just throw their hands up and quit, or will they decide to fight for what they have together?
Lani Lynn Vale is a super talented author! She knows how to craft a story that will draw you in from the very beginning and keep you glued to your kindle until the story’s end! This is a super intense read that also contains the perfect amount of humor to balance the story out. Sean is your typical brooding alpha male who you just can’t help but love, and Naomi is hilarious! If you are looking for your next great read, look no further!!
I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 5, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
