Tobias knows that women are a lot of trouble, and one in particular is more trouble than most. Yet even with the knowledge that she’s a pain in the ass, he doesn’t stop himself from doing the one thing he knows that he shouldn’t do—fall in love with her. It’s supposed to be simple. Get in, get the girl, and get out.What Tobias isn’t supposed to do is fall for the woman he’s supposed to rescue. … supposed to rescue. But he can’t help being intrigued–and amused–by the defiance rolling off Audrey every time he so much as speaks to her. This fascination only intensifies with every single word from her delectable mouth.
***
It’s been six years since her assault, yet it feels like it happened just yesterday. Audrey’s sick and tired of feeling so useless. She’s had enough of being scared, she doesn’t want to be all alone for the rest of her life. All of that boils down to a woman who’s had enough of not doing anything to reclaim her life.
She’s at a loss as to how to move on, and every attempt she makes results in failure. Just when she’s ready to quit, a sexy biker is there to push her out of her comfort zone.
Under Tobias’ patient guidance, Audrey slowly makes her way back to herself. She lands a job that she adores, and she thinks she’s finally found her place in this world. Most surprisingly, though, she finds herself falling in love with a man that honestly scares her to death.
Just when she vows to take that final step that’ll put her past in her past forever, the life she wants to live is yanked away. Leaving her with nothing to pick up the pieces.

Tobias was told to not even think about it when it came to Audrey. yet he was drawn to her. Audrey was one that you can tell was just living, but just bearly, she was letting her rape keep her from truly living her life. it was with Tobias that she was able to finally start letting her guards down, and see what she was missing in her life. Tobais was finally seeing that he needed to let someone in to really find his own form of happiness. together these two are what is needed for each other to actually be complete.
this was a couple that made me want what they had with each other. this was a good ending for another great series.
These two are perfect for each other
I thought this book was funny despite the sad back stories of these two characters. Toby and Audrey started off as friends but over time their relationship transformed. Especially after going on a cruise with one another. I loved Audreys quirks and how no matter how quirky she got Toby did not care.
I would definitely recommend reading this book and series.

Fender and Audrey have had a tough life. Who would have thought that they would find their happy ever after together. Their relationship just seems to flow together in a natural way. Once they met that was it, that found friendship and love so easily.
5 Stars GREAT!
Loved, Loved, Loved this book. Actually I love all of Lani Lynn Vale’s books.
Tobias was so patient with Audrey. He let her set her own pace. He was so gentle and loving with her, it made me swoon. A wonderfully beautiful journey of unconditional friendship and love. Simply perfect!
Can this lady write a book that isn’t a five star read and that you don’t just instantly fall in love with the characters, I think not. Tobias and Audrey’s story was one of emotional walls and the strength and understanding to break everyone of them down. Their story will captivate you and hold you hostage until the very last page. It will turn a cold heart to a burning inferno and have you taking a journey of experiencing every emotion possible. Like all Lani Lynn Vale books you will laugh at the things these characters say and do. There is nothing better than reading a book that makes you feel like you are a part of the story and the characters are like your friends or family and this is exactly how For The Love Of Beard makes you feel.
Tobias and Audrey’s story is a beautiful story about two people who learned to love again after all trauma they individually endured. It was well written and kept me captivated.
Fender/Tobias and Audrey were freaking amazing!! We have come to know Fender and Audrey in the previous books and Audrey even from the DW series. After what Audrey had been through, she needed a man that was patient, understanding, and would move mountains for her, while at the same time letting her be her own woman. Fender is the perfect guy for that job, and for a while he was as patient as could be, but he knows she is his end game. He just needs to make sure that she is aware of that.
I am a bit sad, the DWR series is all finished now, but with this story LLV has done a fantastic job of introducing us to a few of the new guys in the next series coming up. I can’t wait!!! With some sexy times that had me fanning and blushing, that’s right I blushed at one point I couldn’t believe it either, catching up with some of my favorite characters, and a wee bit of drama, this is a 5 star read all the way.
Oh yes! I loved Tobias and Audrey. They make such a cute couple. This book is less about the MC and Tobias’s life as a cop, but about Tobias and Audrey’s friendship. Its clear that Tobias has a thing for Audrey, but he is the best friend she could ever have. He helped her heal in a way she needed after all the things she’s been through. The relationship between them was so easy. Tobias was very understanding of Audrey’s defensiveness and caution. It was so gratifying seeing her let down her walls around Tobias and see her fall so in love with him. He was exactly what she needed. I really just loved them both.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Tobias & Audrey! I think this is one of my favorites. The banter, the healing, the FUN! My only minor complaint with this one is that – if you haven’t been reading the various series – you can get kinda lost. I don’t think it makes a good stand alone for this reason, but I still want everyone to read it. There’s some pretty steamy steam going on on that cruise, too.
AND OH MY HECK, THE END! The chosen wedding attire. *plop* Such a fun surprise. ; )
Love these badass bikers. Tobias is actually a Hail. So you get more of him in the Hail series, when you meet all his brothers and their sassy women. I love all things Lani so this books is amazing.
Audrey is one of those characters that you can’t help but connect with, even if she is a minor character in someone else’s book. Throughout all of the books between Life to My Flight and this one, I couldn’t help but wonder, when will it be her turn? I’ve been waiting for Audrey HEA since she was introduced to us in Life to My Flight. She has always been such a tragic figure that I couldn’t help but want her to beat the odds and find her Prince Charming. And then when we got the rest of the back story in Beard Up, I just felt that much more for her. After everything that she has been through, she deserves the best that life can give her. But it wouldn’t be a Lani Lynn Vale book if there wasn’t danger, intrigue and mayhem.
Audrey is such a strong person that she takes the worst that life can throw at you and handles it like a boss! It has to be a super special man to be worthy of someone like Audrey. And Tobias is totally that man! He is patient, loving, and everything that she needs. Together, they are the type of couple that can power through anything and just come out stronger on the other side!
I’ve loved everything about all of the LLV books, but the feelings of love, loyalty, and family that is in each book continues to make them all some of my favorites. Audrey and Tobias continue that and were definitely one of my all time favorite couples!
