Story
Wealthy and privileged, Allison has lived a comfortable and boring life. But it's a life full of secrets, too. When she finally admits that she's ready to walk on the wild side, she makes her confession to the one person who has the experience to make all of her fantasies a reality. As handsome and roguish Todd challenges Allison to a less-than-innocent game of poker, she recklessly bets it all - herself included - and gives Todd everything he needs to relieve her of her "good girl" guilt.

After a life on the streets in the hardest parts of the city, Eli’s road to a place of respect in the community has been a rocky one, but one that he’s proud of. Opening Wild Hearts Community Center with his best friend Hunter gave Eli a sense of purpose, and creating a space for youth growing up the same way he did has helped him carve out a slice of territory in the city and shelters the pack he calls family. But what makes it all worthwhile is having Hunter by his side.

I slept with the wrong twin. And all I got for it in return was a broken heart. Oh yeah, and a baby on the way - there’s that too. But I’m determined to make it on my own. I don’t need a man, thank you very much. Not rich, charismatic, and decidedly flighty Rex Roosevelt, and especially not his twin brother, Justin. No matter that the gorgeous former military doctor makes my heart beat a little faster...and all spots lower than that pay careful, careful attention. None of that matters. The Roosevelt men are dangerous and I’m steering clear.

The only thing I ever wanted in this life was to be an artist. No matter how rough my childhood was, I knew tattooing would be my salvation. Trying to succeed in my father’s shadow was too much for me to handle, so I took off for the city the first chance I got. I didn’t realize until it was too late that there was a reason he wanted to hide me behind him. Now he’s dead, the shop I grew up in is in shambles, and the only person who can save me from his past is Driller.

Summary
Sharon Bianchi knows just how lucky she is. Not everyone's grandmother leaves them a trust fund and virtually no worries. But money doesn't mean Sharon's life has been perfect, and after the childhood she had, she's more than grateful to have found friends who love and accept her for who she is and not what she can do for them. Even if she does have to put up with constant side-eye from Lexie's big brother, Jake.
With a little help from his friends, Jake Standish has made a successful return to civilian life after serving in the Army. There's only one issue: his unfortunate attraction to the last single woman in his social circle. Sharon is loud, crass, and completely over-the-top. Everything about her grates on him - including the way he can't get her out of his head.
One very explosive New Year's Eve will set these two frenemies on fire for each other. Is theirs a collision course with disaster or happily ever after?

Hot!
What a great story. Sharon and Jake hooked up at a New Years Eve party. Jake was her best friends brother and he had treated her in the past like an obnoxious brat. He wasn’t a Dom, but he sure lit her up anyway. Victoria Mei needs a blue ribbon for narrating it. She would have won first prize. What a super job she did with the male and female voices!

Perfect title!
Not sure how I have missed Golden Angel all this time, but I am certainly glad I gave this one a listen. It is book 8 in the series, and though I haven't listened to the others, it was perfect as a standalone. Sharon and Jake are the last of their friends who have not found their significant others. They have a bickering relationship, not really liking each other. Will "friends with benefits" work out for them? There is strong attraction and the chemistry off the charts! But this enemies to lovers story isn't your everyday trope follower. It has some meat to it. Sharon's background would give the impression that since she is from a wealthy family, she would have the happy life. She is loud and at times obnoxious. Jake comes from the family everyone wants to hang out with, and is a little more conservative. These opposites find out that not only do they attract, but there is a common thread that could hold them together. I loved the title, the ensemble of friends and the whole storyline of this book. It's hot, sexy and entertaining from start to finish. Can't wait for the others to be released!
Narrating a story like this needs someone that can bring emotional value to the story as well as perform a steamy scene. Victoria Mei is perfect for roles like this. She can bring out all the feelings, from frustration and turmoil to hope and love with the inflections in her voice. I loved her performance of Sharon and Jake!

This might be my favorite couple!
Jake, Lexie’s brother, her vanilla brother who comes to Stronghold to be with his friends and maybe to watch some.
Sharon, Kates best friend who moved back with her from California, who just wants an alpha male who will not treat her like she’s glass. Who comes to Stronghold, but isn’t masochistic enough for any of the Doms (or baby enough for the Daddy Doms). She also spends time with her friends there’s.
They grate on each other... but are drawn to one another.
I’m not going to tell you what happens, but I am going to tell you it’s good!! This story is excellent. Hi listen!!!
Victoria Mei does well with the narration.

It’s not your vanilla of a listen
Hardcore Vanilla is the 8th and final installment in Golden Angel’s Stronghold Doms series but it’s my first in the series .
Love how Golden Angel took a couple added some spice and blended the couple together when the hero was denying a label but he sure acted like a DOM .
Hero is Jake. Heroine is Sharon
Sharon gets mixed messages from Jake . Sharon knows she’s into the DOM lifestyle, what she doesn’t understand is why Jake has to always throw Jabs at her , small little jabs like he's judging her .
Meanwhile Jake is denying he’s a DOM but put him and Sharon together and he acts like a big time Alpha make .
The scenes are spicy all around . The chemistry between the two are hot and off the charts
Victoria Mel was excellent. She has a deep $exy voice . It’s smooth and strong

I liked it!
This is my first Golden Angel's book. This is the book 8, and the last book in the Stronghold Doms Series. Unfortunately, I haven't read the first book in the Series, and despite the fact this story can be listened as a standalone, reading the first books in the series should help to better understand the relationships between the other characters. I like this friends/enemis to lovers. Sharon and Jake (Captain Caveman!) share a hot and strong chemistry. The secondary characters are also very interesting, and I would love to know more about them. Victoria Mei did an amazing job with the narration. I enjoyed listening to this book.

Hate to see this series end, but what a fantastic
I really did not want to read this book because it was the ending of the Stronghold series. This is a series that I dearly love, and it is so hard to see It end. It is not just a Bdsm series. It is about sexual encounters, crazy antics, drama, and most of all love for that one special person and a group of wonderful friends. These friends are always there for each other. These characters are part of my book family.
Angel did not fail when writing this final book in the series. Sharon and Jake captured my heart with their love story. Both learned to understand and love each other. Thank you Golden Angel for giving us such a heart grabbing book and series.
I can't wait for all of books to come out in audio. I will be having a Stronghold marathon.
I had already read the ebook, but Victoria really brought this story to life. I totally enjoyed listening to this book.
I received this Audible book in exchange for a review. I highly recommend this book and the entire series. I plan on listening to this entire series again!
