About this listen

Five dishonored soldiers.
Former Special Forces.
One last mission.
These are the men of Hard Ink.

Ever since hard-bodied, drop-dead-charming Shane McCallan strolled into the dance club where Crystal Dean works, he's shown a knack for getting beneath her defenses. For her little sister's sake, Crystal can't get too close. Until her job and Shane's mission intersect, and he reveals talents that go deeper than she could have guessed.

Shane would never turn his back on a friend in need, especially a former Special Forces teammate running a dangerous, off-the-books operation. Nor can he walk away from Crystal. The gorgeous waitress is hiding secrets she doesn't want him to uncover. Too bad. He's exactly the man she needs to protect her sister, her life, and her heart. All he has to do is convince her that when something feels this good, you hold on as hard as you can—and never let go.

Absolutely loved it. I didn't think Nick and Becca's love story could be beat, but I was wrong. I must admit I completely fangirled over Shane and the way he was with Crystal. Unlike a lot of other similar series, you were given enough of the previous duo to keep you satisfied. Can't forget the rest of the team either, they are just great together. I have a soft spot for Jeremy and hope we get more of his story in future even just a novella. There is a lot of romance in this series but it is also SO much more. The over all story is intriguing and leaves you wondering where it is going next. Is the next book out yet?? I wish it was, because I would have it downloaded already. Definitely one of those authors who you hope writes fast.

Can't wait for the next one

Book 2 in the Hard as Ink series, and it didn't disappoint. This time we follow former special forces soldier Shane. The book follows on directly from book 1 as the men of ink try to rescue Becca's brother Charlie. In the search for Charlie, Shane comes across Crystal, who is suffering her own personal hell to try and keep herself and her sister out of trouble. Well written, with super hot, sexy alphas. Roll on book 3.
