Maksim doesn’t do strings. Marshall doesn’t date men. They’re both about to be proven wrong.

Marshall is the golden child. He wins every game he plays—on and off the field. He’s living the dream and knows it. That’s why he refuses to let a thing like preferring men in his bed get in his way. Right now, he’s all about his career. Everything else can wait, or so he thinks, until he meets Maksim.

Maksim has it all and basks in it. It’s his job to check out sexy, talented men and offer them lots of money. Sometimes, they’re extremely grateful for his services. What more could a man want? The last distraction Maksim needs is a relationship. Maksim never expects Marshall. Marshall teases, taunts, and tempts Maksim in ways he never dreamed. He also makes Maksim want a life he never has before.

Two men with no desire to change will have to find a way to bend or end up breaking each other.

Another charming, easy read. Maksim and Marshal fall for each other after having what was supposed to be a no strings attached fling. Super low angst, lots of sexy.
A closeted football player and a gay talent scout have to realize they caught feelings and figure out how to keep each other.
A fun read.

Bang is book thirteen in the Hard Hit series

This was a good vibe. I enjoyed Marshall and Maksim. Seeing a little more of the love on page Marshall as for his brother too was a good change of perspective from the previous book with Michael

“Tell me what you want.”--Maksim
“To be inside you.”--Marshall
“The thing is, you bang a lot of women, and I’m not sure that qualifies you to fuck me.”--Maksim
“I don’t get fucked, so I guess we’re at an impasse.”--Marshall


Marshall and Maksim are both powerful, strong, and determined men working in the sports industry—one as a talent scout; the other as a professional football player. But where Maksim has embraced his openly gay lifestyle, Marshall continues to hide his feelings for fear of losing the career he has worked so hard to achieve. When these two meet, it’s a power struggle from day one…will Maksim continue to be Marshall’s secret or will their love break the boundaries that Marshall has set for himself.

Marshall and Maksim’s (or as I like to refer as my M&M’s) love affair is a panty dropper! Never did two men deserve a HEA more!

I loved Bang and did not want it to end!! Highly recommend this series!

And what a bang

I just am insanely in love with Mak and Marshall...They are smoking hot together and not just sexually. Everything about the two of them drew me in. Sweet, loving, playful and some pain filled moments they have won my heart over and over. It was also great because we get Michael and Gavin back being that Michael is Mashall's twin and Gavin's his best friend who are married to each other now...so a win win

EACH STORY STEPS UP THE HEAT

Super sexy, talent scout Maksim and playful flirty, quarterback Marshall finally have dinner. This was a cat and mouse teaser that leaves them both breathless. Every story just keeps getting hotter than the one before. This was another beautifully designed story to add to this fantastic series. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND THIS HOT, AMAZING SERIES!!!!!

Another great one

I love the Hard Hit series and Charity Parkerson and this book is just as good as the previous ones.
I just adore Marshall and his "man child" personality and I love the way he and Maksim realises that when you meet The One everything you thought you knew doesn't apply and love makes everything better.

I loved this story a lot more than I thought I would. I wasn't overly interested in Marshall or Maksim from the previous story. I very quickly grew attached to them though. This would have a 5 star read for me if not for what felt like a very abrupt, although happy ending.

Sweet

This is one of the sweeter reads in the series. There is still some angst and guys saying and doing dumb things but this one was in the lighter side.
