Hard: Complete Series

by Lucia Jordan

When Jake explains that he’s a dominant, and wants her to be his submissive, Beth suddenly has doubts. Beth Reed hates office parties, but her boss Paul Vincent has asked her to go and keep an eye on things—particularly his son, Jake, who is visiting for the holidays. The owner of a custom motorcycle shop, Jake has a bad reputation for being a womanizer, and possibly a criminal, but Beth has always had a bit of a crush on him. Wishing for a guy like Jake is dangerous, however, so she’s always kept her distance. When Beth and Jake are caught under the mistletoe and forced to kiss, her desire for the big, dark, tattooed biker blazes hotter than ever. When later that night Jake shows up on her doorstep asking for more, she can’t resist letting him in. His hungry kisses soon lead to a white-hot bout of passion that arouses Beth so much it frightens her. She’s a nice girl, not a biker chick or a submissive. And if his strait-laced father finds out she’s sleeping with his son she will definitely lose her job. And when Jake unexpectedly makes a proposition, she must decide if it’s worth the risk.

Bad biker man??? More like cuddly teddy bear!!!!

Beth discovers her true sex-self through a smoldering kiss...Christmas is my fav time of the year and so is hers...NOW!

Jake's portrayed like a srsly bad biker guy, but the more I kept reading the more I found him to be sweet and caring and incredibly romantic...BDSM??? not so much, he just loved to be kinky and have sweaty very hot sex....

I really enjoyed this book, though the title made me think that It was going to be hard and rough, it wasn't, but not in a bad way. It is a really good and enjoyable reading :D

The book was great.

I've read about about five of her book on my tablet in the last few days and she doesn't disappoint as a writer. I look forward to reading more books from her.

Bait and switch

Bait and switch where is the book I previued this book was not expected not written well so where is the rest of the preview book

[Charlene Gaskins · Rating 3 out of 5]

Beth and Jake are both good characters even though the story line is a bit predictable. This is another alpha male going after a shy woman he believes he can get to join him in the BDSM lifestyle. She's a straight laced kind of good girl and is a hard sell to the lifestyle. Apparently the challenge to convert Beth to his lifestyle becomes his main goal. This books follows many of the previous story lines of this genre, but it was entertaining. If BDSM is your thing then you will enjoy this book.

Excellent read

There are a lot of options for Beth and Jake in this story that could have been touched on, especially with his "mother"...what an evil woman, in more ways than one. In the very beginning of the book, would you have opened the door and let Jake in? Answer the question!!!!!!

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

So after reading part one I was able to read the whole series for an honest review. Gotta tell you, the series did not disappoint!

Beth is a single girl with no family which means the holidays aren't usually her favorite time of year. She's forced to attend the company Christmas party due to her boss' absence, and to watch over his son until he get can there. She's always found the son Vincent attractive, but never really seemed like her type. One kiss under the mistletoe changes all that....

One passionate night together unlocks her hidden desires, and Vincent's wish to control them. His pushing for more is pushing her away. She gets invited to his parents' for Christmas and accepts thinking he's gone back home, but at the last minute she finds out that yes, Vincent will be there.

What ensues is nothing short of hot and intense, as well as dramatic. Not going to give too much away for this short read, but if you love a strong alpha bad boy, you will love this book. Quick, steamy read for one night!

**I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review**

This is a really smutty book through and through. The prim and proper assistant falls for her boss’s son, the tattooed biker bad boy. He introduces her to her submissive side, and although she doesn’t want to admit it, she really likes to be dominated by him. Lots of sexy steaminess to go around, and he is so sweet to her knowing that everything she’s experiencing is so new and scary to accept. I would definitely recommend this book. Super hot, but not for the faint of heart. If spankings, dirty talk, bondage, and anal are not your kink, look elsewhere. If they are, you will be changing underwear in no time flat.

[Skeletta · Rating 3 out of 5]

For this one, no review for just book 1. I went right into the complete to quickly to bother with thoughts on book 1. This one wasn't as thrilling for me as others have been. Some parts to me was rushed & a bit predictable. I couldn't for the life of me attach to the guy. Parts were missing. I am happy however that he defended her against his dad instead of cowering down. If you want quick smut scenes and minor dirty talk than this is for you.

Hard ... To get through

This is the second title/series I've read by Lucia Jordan. A quick read that I found a little hard going. The story did not flow smoothly for me. I found the characters exaggerated and at times found myself skimming paragraphs. Fortunate to have read in one sitting because I honestly don't know if I would've gone back for more if serialised.

[Tryynity Belle · Rating 4 out of 5]

I did not hate this but I did not love it... it could be just not my thing. Lucia Jordan is a competent writer in my humble opinion, the story and characters just did not grab me.
I would not say do not read it, as many other reviews love it, it just will not go on my favourites.
I will still try some others of Lucia's though.

[Jodi Cain · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gillian was a total Bitch. As for Paul, I think he handled things wrong with Bethany, when he found out her preferences in the bedroom. As far a Jake, now that is one bad ass biker/dominant in the bedroom. Bethany is a very lucky woman to have Jake in her life. I highly recommend reading this series...

[Kaye Nez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not just this book!

Overall! I love your books! But!..... A good but..... Based on experience and some of the intensity that hasnt been satisfied. Its disappointing. Having to go through the satisfaction of intense intimacy then to what others call "normal" is unsatisfying. Sex will never be the same for me. No matter the partners. Damn you intimacy!

[monica Cornwell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved these two

I love all the books Lucia rights. This one though mad me sad. But only because it ended. I could have read 300 more pages of Jake and Beth's story. There insta connection was so firey HOT I couldn't wait to turn the page and see what happens next. Great story, great characters and one heck of a love story. Two thumbs up

[sheila · Rating 4 out of 5]

Different

There was bondage in this story. However it's not "hard" core like some of Lucia Jordan stories. It's more a sweet love story with a bit of kink. It is good, just different. I liked it.

[Shannon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sexy and so stimulating

You immediately fall for the bad boy. He was just so real and straight forward. Loved how he didn't allow his rich, snobby mom dictate his life. His dad could take lessons from him. The love between Jack and Bethany was so real. Good read.

[Destiny Amanda Faith Fargason · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome!

I loved this book. It's detailed, to a point and has drama and romance. To be honest, I would recommend this book for older audiences only, considering the unbelievable amount of detail... I still loved it though.

[Patty Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 Stars

This was my first read by Lucia Jordan, and I was very impressed. A good plot, interesting, engaging characters and very steamy! My only complaint is that I would have loved an entire novel about these two. Now I have to go check out her other books.

[Sandra G. Coffey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really Good!

I totally enjoyed this series. The short stories were straight to the point and didn't drag on. They kept me so interested, I had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. Great job Lucia!

[Andrea Wald · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good plot, bad editing

I really like the story, however the misspellings & missing words made it difficult to read at times. I think Ms. Jordan is a good writer, but more attention needs to be paid to the final product.

[Linda Martin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hot

The story of Jake and Beth was very good. Jake is a dominant and wants Beth as his sub. Their relationship is full of hot sex and some turmoil. I recommend this series highly.

[kacie rae meyette · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very descriptive. Keeps you turning the page

I would recommend reading this book if you are into a lust filled page Turner. verry descriptive and seductive novel

[Jill Gatena · Rating 5 out of 5]
