As I’ve been anxiously awaiting the next release in Bruce Rose’s new series Panty Games, I realized one of his titles lay wasting away on my Kindle! Hard Ride is from 2016 and I have no idea why it escaped my notice till now.
Hard Ride is the story of two college age guys who’ve been attracted to each other since the early days of high school and finally hook up. Jordan is deep in the closet, but some recent events have him thinking hard about the choices he’s made. Kent is on the precipice of big changes as well, he just needs to find some self confidence and stand up for himself.
I always love to talk about the positive messages Rose imparts into his stories, and Hard Ride is no different. Themes like taking charge and embracing life, making the most out of what we’ve got, and being proud of ones’ self are the foundation of this one. Both characters are at a crux and taking stock, and this camping weekend is what they both need to get started.
Definitely vintage Bruce Rose, Hard Ride has some deliciously dark and very erotic BDSM scenes. Rose writes some of the best D/s exchanges I’ve ever read (he’s so creative). But more than just being fun to read, I’m impressed at how Rose explores each character and shows their relationship evolving through these interactions.
In addition to the yummy erotica and positive messages, Rose’s writing is so effortlessly charming. He always tucks in some beautifully worded analogies and I can’t help but highlight them to enjoy later. My favorite in Hard Ride is in likening the slow glide of penetration to “the pace of a snail sliding down molasses in January”. Fantastic. I can't help but love the image that brings to mind! 🐌 *smirk*

I love Bruce Rose and I loved this book. It was a five star for me right up to the end. I don’t want to spoil anything for someone else, but I’ll just say HFN instead of HEA can cost you a star. I loved Kent and Jordan and I’d happily read another book about them.

Riding Hard
🥵💦🔥
Wasn’t sure what to expect but holy hell that was almost perfect. I say almost because the ending is a slightly ambiguous HFN rather than a definite HEA.
Highly recommend.

Queer romance with kink. I’ve really enjoyed all of Rose’s other books but this one didn’t hit right. The relationship development and dynamic between Kent and Jordan felt both rushed and incomplete.
