Hung
Rockstar. Brawler. Father?
Alicia:
I never thought my big break in the music business would come from Clay Hunt. The hottest pop star on the planet, and me? But that’s what happened. First he ruined my show--and then he saved it.
Next thing I know, we’re making an album. Recording together … it’s crazy good. The way we can’t keep our hands off each other? Is just crazy.
But Clay’s label wants to kick him to the curb because they think he’s nothing but a wild man. So now we’re having a baby. He’s not a bad man deep inside, but there’s so much pain wrapped up with all the good. Can we really make this work?
Clay:
My career was going down the tubes until I got up on that stage with Alicia. At first she was just a way to keep my label off my back ... but everything’s changed.
A part of me I thought was dead forever is coming back to life, and it’s because of her. All the crap I’ve been running away from all these years -- I almost feel like I can face it so long as she’s with me.
Is that crazy? Maybe. All I know is that letting her go isn't an option.
Full length novel. No Cliffhanger. Happily Every After
Health Warning:
Hung is a sexy, thigh clenching and lip-biting romantic novel that'll have your panties dripping wet. If you don't like raucous bad boys and lots (...and lots) of sex, then this isn't the book for you.

Just not for me.
May 26, 2016
I received an ARC from RedCape romance in exchange for an honest review.
This book did not look all that promising for me. It sounded like just another romance where love changes everything. Just like Tackle, by Holly Hart, which wasn’t my favourite of the lot.
But I was so, so wrong.
This book was so much more than that. It was new life, a life of second chances and second loves without ever looking back and missing the life you left behind.
The writing was beautifully paced and Alicia was beautifully described. I loved those times when Clay got all protective of her when anyone passed a racist comment. I loved that fact that he loved her so deeply and she him.
An overall amazing book, with a love story of a lifetime and steamy scenes too irresistible!

Short story of Clay, a playboy rockstar, who meets Alicia, the woman who settles him down and changes his life. HEA
October 12, 2017
This was my first book by Holly Hart. It was okay but there were too many things mentioned that I really wish would've been researched just a little bit more before using them in a book. Trying not to give anything away, being a woman who has dealt with one of the same problems as our girl Alicia did I know most of what she revealed to Clay about it was not accurate. It doesn't take much to research certain things if you plan to use them in a book and saves you from looking like you just threw a few key words and assumptions in to try to fit your story. Other than that I just didn't really feel the connection with the characters, it was too rushed. There are short stories out there that make that connection well in very few words but this one missed the mark for me. Everything was just too rushed and one minute their music career is a key focus and the next we've moved on to something else. It just seemed very scattered.

My Review:
I enjoyed reading Hung although I think the title confused me at first on what I thought it would be about but I suppose it can be like hung up on life kind of reference. Anyway Alicia and Clay find their way together to make an 'arrangement' in order to provide Clay a more positive image so that he won't lose his career. Buts its finding that the career doesn't really matter when you realize that the situation you've placed yourself in becomes real to you the person you didn't think would matter becomes more important to you. I really hoped this story would be so much more because everything that takes place and develops happens so quickly to make up for the limited page time I really felt that this story could have used the length and the development to make it feel more whole instead of rushed which is understandable being a novella. Still its a good story and I liked its potential.

Well , well, well, what can I say. This is not a typical Rockstar novel though it touches on the subjects of too much drinking, sex with numerous women, and a bad attitude it also touches a lot on feelings.
The book opening between Alicia and Keisha cracked me up. I remember listening to conversations like theirs and quite possibly participated in a few myself. So of course it was believable and amusing, Alicia is dedicated to making her singing career happen and throughout the book you will see her making wise career decisions with some occasional personal not quite so wise decisions that adds lots of spice to the story.
Hung, what a nickname, is really a mess. A hot, hot, hot mess and the book goes into detail with why he has that nickname causing one to start to fan themselves. I like that there is more to him as the book progresses so you see a deeper part of him and the cracks in his behavior start to give the reader glimpses of why he is out of control.
For me the start of the book was slow to grab my attention but as I read further into the book it developed into a book that expanded with intensity and feelings. A shared past experience between Hung and his manager, Mike made me cry. It was written superbly filled with deep emotions, sadness and deep love.
I give this 3.75 STARS.

March 11, 2016This book grabs you from the first line, where Clay's not-so-private part is compared with an anaconda. Yes, that's a large snake. The story is one of those “rocker bad boy” meets the “perfect girl” for him and turns into Mr. Nice. Although the theme may be overdone a little, this one is enjoyable because that “perfect girl”, Alicia, is someone who is dying to get her chance to make it in the music industry, has a lot of sass and pizzazz and won't put up with any crap from the rocker, Clay, even if it means giving up her chance at fame. In fairness to Clay, he has some real demons in his past which he had no control over, which turned him into the careless fighting punk he is. This is a man in serious need of redemption, and she, without realizing it, gives it to him.
I didn't like the incredible speed at which these two decided they were 'in love' with each other. 'In lust', yes, but way too fast for it to be love. It was believable however, that they did fall deeply in love over time and balanced each other out well. That chemistry built up gradually.
Just an FYI, this is an interracial romance. If that is something you are uncomfortable with, this is probably not the book for you.
It is well written and keeps to a nice, steady pace. No “holy crap!” moments, but enough twists to keep it interesting. There was more to it than just a little fluff. Enjoyable!

This book was pretty good and a nice easy read. I feel it could have been a little bit longer but was still satisfying. It is what you expect it’s cocky, witty and fun. I usual like an alpha male but in this book the female character definitely knows how to hold her own and it really did work.
Alicia has a voice of an angel and she has just landed her first gig. She’s nervous but who wouldn’t be. She manages to swallow them down and start her debut club performance.
Clay is a celebrity bad boy with only one thing on his mind and that’s to stir up trouble. He likes to take the world by storm and doesn’t think of the consequences until it is too late. Tonight is no different he gets into a fight outside a bar and ruins her debut performance, but soon realises she could be the one to save his career.
4.5 stars out of 5.

Alicia is working hard for her dream. Living in a tiny apartment, working as a bartender in an area where she's often disrespected, and not really going out are all ways to help her with her dream.
She never expected a music industry bad boy to ruin her first ever gig. Pissed and heartbroken, she finds it hard to trust him. He says he'll help her, but Alicia has her reservations. It's obvious he wants her but can she believe he really to help.
Clay has never experienced anything wants like his reaction to Alicia. Even before he knew her name, Clay knew she was the one for him. Crazy, yes! Now he just has to prove it...
Things are easier said than done. Life is hard. Love is complicated. The mess Clay and Alicia get themselves into is harder, messy, and at times trying.
I really enjoyed Clay and Alicia's story. Two very different people trying to keep their dreams alive...

I was not to sure about this book when I started reading it and it took me about 2 chapters to really get into the book. Once I did I really warmed up to it and could not put it down. This book was one of those books about cocky and I do mean a COCKY rock star who meets a girl who won't give into him. She is the best thing for him. I really like how Holly Hart does not let it be the standard boy meets girl she can't help but fall for him and blah blah blah .... OH NO this es one really good bool.
There are times I was laughing and there were times I can not tell you hot this book was. It is a good read and this is one author I will gladly be reading again and again. I was gifted this book for an honest review.

Clay has never experienced anything like what he feels or wants and his reaction to Alicia surprises him, even before he knew her name Clay knew she was the one for him. This story begins in a brilliant humorous way and gets wild and crazy from there on. I would definitely recommend this book it was very entertaining with a heartfelt history that runs deep.

SEXY LOVE STORY
I'm not sure what I expected when I started this book because of the title, but it surprised me, and turned out to be a very good love story. Alicia is a bartender trying to break into the music business, and Clay, a bad boy who is about to be dropped by his label for getting bad press all the time, messes up her gig and makes it up to her by singing a duet with her that goes viral. They need each other to save each other. I read this book in one sitting and really enjoyed it. I received this book as a gift for an honest review. Patsy Sacco

Review for Hung by Holly Hart.
I really loved this book more than I actually expected to. I think the title is what made me think it was just going to be a sex story and that was it. Well there is sex in and some really intense sex scenes but it’s more than just a sex book, it has a good story and one that is so worth the read. Copy provided for honest review
Story starts with our heroine reading and article about the hero and wishing she was part of the music life along with one other thing boy does she end up getting her wish.

*ARC received from Red Cape Romance in return for an honest review*
This romance is funny, sweet, and sexy. Alicia and Clay team up to try and launch her career while saving his own. I have a soft spot for bad boys who recognize "the one" when they meet, then turn themselves around in the name of love. Clay has heart and Alicia, who is a strong, honest woman, sees that early on. Clay and Alicia are both likable characters and I was never bored. I enjoyed this story very much.

Holly is a new author for me her writing was very good it flowed well and the characters showed some details. Overall this was a good read. I really enjoyed the way the two spoke to each other in the beginning as Clay was extremely fat headed and Alicia emitted a strong personality. Both seem to soften up by the end and it was a nice ending. I received this book free in exchange for an honest review.
March 11, 2016
I enjoyed this story and the characters. The story started off with a fast paced bang and ended on a slow sweet note. Alicia is finally getting her moment on stage to sing. It doesn't go as well as she'd hoped. Clay is out of control, sex on wheels that crashes as soon as he runs into Alicia. I liked their chemistry and the story line.

DNF!
Couldn't make it through the first chapter. Not because the writing was horrible but because there was this HUGE color thing going on.. white girls.. black girls.. Race to me doesn't have to emphasized when reading a book or anything else for that matter. The author seems really stuck up on the color of someones skin and that just turned me off completely.

This book wasn't exactly what I expected. It was good, but a lot less on the erotic side than I'd anticipated. I enjoyed the characters and their interactions. Decent read if you're looking for a quickie.
March 19, 2016
Powerfully emotional. Not your typical Rock Star love story about sex, drugs and rock n' roll. Well, there is sex. Even people seemingly on top of the world have demons they must overcome. Amazing story full of love and growth as they find their way. I was rooting for these characters all the way.
May 4, 2016
I loved this book. Amazing romantic and SEXY love story between Clay and Alice. There's a lot of surprises in this book along with some sexy steamy sex scenes all leading to this super romantic love story. Highly recommended.
