Strict

Strict #3

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….

The third book of the Strict Series is the continuation of the dark relationship involving Chloe and Gage. New insights into Gage’s and Chloe’s family are revealed. The obsession Gage has for Chloe is stronger than ever, but he is afraid to push her due to her sister’s experience. While some truths come to light, additional secrets and questions arise especially surrounding the supporting characters. This book has drama, mystery, lust, steamy sexual content, and unexpected twists and turns. It is a fast paced read that keeps your attention at all times. I highly recommend this book as well as the Strict series. I can hardly wait for the next book in this series!

Holy Cow!!! We're not far from being out of the gate with this book and already I have a plethora of questions. I rather feel like Chloe talking to Gage wanting to know the answers. Hannah Ford has created a powerful mixture of emotions here, all of which are running on high. The next part can't come soon enough. I was given a copy of this book and this is my honest, voluntary review.

He can't stay away but will she turn and walk away from him or stay

Part Three of Strict starts where the previous part ended. It is one erotic car ride back to Chloe's dormitory housing with Gage that is for sure. But Chloe finds a surprise when she gets back that has her wondering what is going on. She and Gage continue with a push and pull over the next few days both in the office, during her presentation and his questioning of her reasoning for her decision, and outside during a night she is out and he comes to get her. He comes to the realization that he she is his and he cannot stay away from her. But she has questions first and those answers are not being offered. Is she willing to resign and walk out the door or can he open up to her and keep her there?

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

Este estuvo bien conflictivo....
Luego de que el carro de Gage en el parqueadero se movia mas que barco a la deriva "sin ahondar" tuvieron su otra que ya perdi la cuenta encuentro intimo y ella "sigue siendo vg" ....
Se presentoun conflicto entre la familia de Gage y el hermanastro y la hermana y tuvieron que ir a casa de sus padres.... el siguiente parrafo lo resume .....
"Una cosa era conectar con tu jefe. Otra muy distinta era terminar en la casa de sus padres, con su padrastro obviamente loco, que te apuntó con un arma y su aparentemente igual de jodida media hermana que le robó un auto a su hermanastro, que también era su medio hermano...." ...
Nada mas que añadir.... sigo con el cuarto ....

The attraction between Chloe and Gage is getting hotter every minute, Chloe is not too sure she wants to continue this relationship with Gage because he’s her boss, he has secrets he’s not willing to share, he is not into going on dates and building a relationship which is what she wants. Her friend Grace is in town with her own secrets as well. Gage is basically obsessed with her and wants to control her in every way which Chloe is making somewhat difficult for him to do. I’m all for the suspense but i hope this book is not stretched on for too long, looking forward to reading the next one.

Both supporting and main characters are well written and bringing diversity and intrigue to the story line. Although, after reading book 3, I have more questions revolving around the supporting characters. As I am reading the book I can picture the characters and scenes and I am trying to figure everything out knowing this isn't the last book and just when I think I am on to something the book ends.

Great read, looking forward to the next installment

I enjoyed reading this story, the boss is very dominant and the intern likes submitting to him, which scares her somewhat, especially as he isn’t interested in her getting to really know him. It’s an intriguing relationship and I would love to know what happens next. The frustrating thing is that this story is a short part of a series. I would much prefer to read it as a full-length novel. There were quite a few typos as well.

I think Chloe is in over her head when it comes to Gage. And I think she knows it too! After meeting the family unexpectedly things might change. But Gage isn’t one to give up, especially when he can’t stop thinking about Chloe. I’m itching for the next book in this series! Loving it so far, and I know it will only get better rom here

OMG Hannah Ford is killing me here with these novellas. Killing me. They're so short and juicy and I want more!

I love the idea of Gage and her being together but he can be so stubborn! The steamy bits were awesome and I can't wait for book 4.

A great follow-up from the previous book. Gage and Chloe still has a lot of things to work through. A lot of trust needs to be build before they can continue. She is still working through the death of her family. He has a bit of a disfunctional family. Can't wait for next book. Five stars from me.

Hard read

Issues with Grammar and formatting. I often had to read the sentences over and over to understand what she was saying. The story line also lacks a uniqueness and is so similar to her other story lines.

[Ann Sorrells · Rating 4 out of 5]

Strict

However these story 's are so short I wish I had waited till all the books were completed at this rate who. Know how many books will there be.

[Jennifer G · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really?

I feel like Hannah Ford enjoys torturing her readers!!! She is constantly sucking me into her books and will not let me out until all of my hair is gone! I sincerely cannot wait until book 4 ... please don’t keep me waiting long! :)

Gage and Chole

Gage and Chole need each other I hope he opens up to her and that they can grow into something special and that they need each other

It's getting good

It's getting good. I am really into the story line. Great transition and cliff hangers. You want to keep reading.
