Strict

Strict #5

by Hannah Ford

I met him in the kind of place where bad things happen. The kind of place where women fall to their knees, call men sir, and get lashed with a belt. Gage Stratford. Dark, damaged, cold-blooded and gorgeous, with secrets so deep you could drown. He touched me that night, made me feel things that excited and terrified me in equal measure. When I turned up at my internship the next day, I was shocked to find he was my new boss. My billionaire boss was the one who had made me feel like I couldn’t help but fall to my knees and do whatever he commanded. He says he can’t stay away from me. That he needs to make me his submissive, to take me over his desk, to punish me and make me his. But our horrific pasts have made us who we are, and to get close to him means to crack each other open and expose the very things we’ve worked so hard to bury. And when our secrets come out, not only our love but also our lives will be on the line -- leaving us bound together forever, or destroyed and shattered beyond repair. Being together isn’t an option. But staying apart is impossible….

WOW....Gage and Chloe’s dark complex story continues with more twists and turns in their relationship added to the book’s plot. Along with the changes in their relationship, more secondary characters’ stories are coming to light including Willow’s devastating engagement with River. Be aware, this book ends in a cliffhanger with Chloe’s sister’s killer escaping from prison and unaccounted for at the end of the book. I love Hannah Ford’s writing and I am looking forward to the next part of the Strict series to continue Gage and Chloe’s story.

I love the story line...however, the books are coming too far apart. It’s definitely hard to keep straight when you’re reading so many books in between. It only takes less than an hour to read and buying them all for $2.99 is just too much. She’s done this before and it seemed like the stories were never going to end! After spending $77 for the 26 different chapters (maybe less depending on whether you get them free from Amazon) it seemed like a huge rip off. Although I like the story line, I’m just going to stop here to avoid this situation again....

Things between Gage and Chloe seem to take one step forward then two steps backward. To add to the intrigue several secrets about the man who killed Chloe's sister come to light. It's dark, intense, and yet there are emotions flying about that have not been acknowledged or recognized. I can't wait to find out why Gage let things the way he did and what mischief Alanna is up to and just what her agenda is. I was extremely lucky to be given a copy of this book and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. Once I started I could not get enough, from the start till the end I was engrossed I was even on the edge of my seat with twists and turns, lust and passion, strength happiness and funny. The story of erotic sensation with happy hormones. Do yourself a favor and buy the book you want be disappointed.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book

Strict Gage and Chole

I love Gage and Chole I can’t wait till the next book to find out what happens between Gage and Chole he actually cares for her but is afraid of showing that side of himself to her and I hope Chole gets what she needs from him and finds the answers that she is looking for

A very well-written complicated Story of Chloe and Gage which has them trying to figure each other out. These characters are becoming more well-rounded as this series progressing and are well-crafted and they are evolving. This story does continue after this, so beware. I did enjoy this story

Gasp! This is another great addition to the series and it has me yearning for more. Yearning. Ah! We got more answers and more questions. I wanted Gage to hold her more because I live vicariously through her.

Strict ( part 5 )

Chloe is trying to figure out Gage. She wants to get to know him. She also doesn’t understand why she is so drawn to him. Read to see what happens.

[Sarah K · Rating 3 out of 5]

Underwhelmed. All build and then no climax. By the time she gets to the point...end of book. Now we have to wait how long, for another book. The downfall of short books...

Interesting dinner and then punishment for dessert

Things get more heated and also very cold in Part Five of Strict. This book opens immediately after Part Four ends with Gage following Chloe out of the private bookstore and onto the street where they encounter the police officers informing her that Brandon has escaped jail. She goes with Gage to the station to answer some questions and then they head to his place for the night but make a stop at a restaurant along the way. While they are there Willow appears along with a man named Gavin Winthrop who Gage goes to talk to immediately. The dinner does not go as you would think and Gavin takes both Chloe and Willow to his penthouse where he immediately puts Willow into a guest bedroom as she is passed out. There is a very hot and steamy scene between Gage and Chloe in a secret play room he has in his penthouse. But before things are "completed" he walks away giving her a guestroom for the night.
The next morning Chloe walks into the conference room thinking it is the morning meeting only to find Dr. Truett, the head of the internship program, and Alanna with a manila folder on the table.

I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

Si, me encantan estos libros que se leen rapido y van desarrollando la trama de manera organizada y no se olvidan de los detalles de comentar en que quedo el anterior....
En este tenemos que Brandon MacArthur quien asesino a Cassidy, hermana gemela de Chloe se escapo de la carcel y esta buscando a Chloe.
Gage pone guardaespaldas y chofer a Chloe, cualquiera sospecharia que ahi pasa algo pero no... se hacen los de las gafas ...
Llega Chloe a trabajar y encuentra a la directora de pasantias en persona en la oficina.
Sera que sabe o sospecha algo ??
