Strict #1
Strict
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….

Eh, giving Fifty shades of grey vibes with a new level of unrealism and that is def not a good thing. But it ended on a cliffhanger so I am continuing. (Curiousity killed the cat lol)

Wow
What a beginning to this serial. As usual with Hannah, the cliffhanger demands that I continue on. There were a few typos but nothing major, I have a feeling this story will be as good as His Belt! I waited until several books were available before starting since I'm thin on patience, can't wait to start the next one!

Our heroine is town for an internship. On her first night, she gets dragged into a BDSM club by her new roommates where she meets a very arrogant dominant. Unfortunately when she reports to work, she finds out that jerk is her new boss.
This is book one of a new BDSM serial. As the first book, we get introduced to the characters and the situation, but don't have a lot of backstory. Our heroine has a secret that she is hoping to hide so she can start over. That lasts until the end of this first story. We do get one spanking scene and that is it for this story.
I don't mind serials and all that entails. The problem I have with this story is that the characters are horrible. I don't mean poorly written, I mean terrible human beings. Our heroine is the only one I like. The roommates are spoiled brats who manipulate our heroine via passive-aggressive acts. And our hero is an outright, arrogant jerk and a hypocrite. He demands that our heroine keep work and play separate, then punishes her in the office for a perceived fault from last night.
I will read the new story as I want to know if my guess about our heroine's secret is true. After that, I give it to book three for the characters to improve before I move on.

Welcome to the big city
Strict (Part One) is the first book that I have read by Hannah Ford and it intrigued me. It tells the story of Chloe and Gage. She is a young woman who has moved to NYC for an internship so she can finish her MBA degree. She is taken out to a BDSM club by her new roommates the night before she starts work, not exactly what she wanted to do in the least. At the club Chloe meets an handsome but very arrogant Dom who she blames for breaking her phone.
Well the next morning it turns out that the Dom is actually Gage, who just so happens to be the CEO at the the company they are interning at.
This short does leave the reader at a cliffhanger. From what I can tell it appears that this author does publish "chapters" instead of a full length book. So it will be interesting to continue reading just what happens over the next while as the relationship between Chloe and Gage continues.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

Chloe had just moved to NYC for a fresh start. She's enrolled in college, working on her MBA and scheduled to start her internship in the morning with the two young women who share her dorm room. In the meantime, the two women want a night out and will not take NO for an answer from Chloe. Welcome to NYC and a fresh start! It only seems to go down hill from here. Hannah Ford gives us Chloe and Gage in this storyline. Just in this book alone there are secrets, mysteries, a building sexual tension that takes a surprising twist. And just who is River McLeod and how does he fit into the mix? I'm hooked already and can't wait to see where she takes us next.

Esto empezo bueno aunque se parezca un poco a 50-SG tiene su suspenso.
Los escenarios saltan constantemente y es rapida la lectura por eso debes estar pendiente de los cambios.
Chloe se encuentra en un bar BDSM y saliendo del baño se choca con Gage Stantfort sin saber que al otro dia tendra una entrevista de trabajo con el y que sera su proximo jefe de pasantias.
De entradita y el primer dia de trabajo le da de nalgadas y para mi que se da cuenta que seria una buena sumisa pero el jefe descubre un secreto que deja la historia en punta y directo al segundo libro....
Next !!! .....

Good start
This is a good start to a new series. Unfortunately Hannah Ford has a habit of leaving cliffhangers and making you pay $2.99 for the next chapter until the book is finished. Which is usually 20+ chapters.
I will not be reading this series unless I can buy the complete set in a boxed set. I hate when I have to pay $50 for a book that would only cost $15 at Barnes and Nobles.

A usual a brilliant start to this series. Chloe meets billionaire badboy Gage at a BDSM club, but she has some bad history. Little did she know he will be her boss the next day. This looks like a very interesting start. Five stars from me.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Interesting Series Beginning
This is the first book in the Strict series. The book is intriguing and continuously maintains your interest as the book’s plot is being established. The characters, Gage and Chloe, are well defined and mysterious. The book is dark, twisted, and steamy. Can’t wait to read the second book of the series!

Do not read
The book was basically an intro. It was only a couple pages long. The grammar and editing was horrible and the sequence of events did not make sense. There is no way I will pay $2.99 to read the next part of the story. I am sure it will be cut short with just a couple of badly edited words. I am so disappointed.

Pins & needles.
This story has you captivated from the start, the characters are well developed the plot is intriguing. I must admit that I am not a fan of multi part books. I like to read it all in one sitting but now I find myself on pins and needles waiting for the next part.

This was good even though its just part 1. I'm intrigued about what happens to her now that she has been found out.

Awesome book
A very intense and addictive story with plenty of ups and downs. Full of mystery and suspense which keeps you reading to find out what is involved. I am definitely looking forward to part two.

Gage and Chole
Gage and Chole can’t seem to keep their hands to themselves I hope Gage falls for Chole and that they fall in love that it can’t be broken by anyone or anything I hope he becomes her Don and just gives her so much passion I can’t wait

Why did Chloe go?
She really didn't want to the club. She never knew it would come to her demise. The man who broke her phone, who stoked her leg only to find out that he was the boss at her internship. Now the police and her past has come to light. Her fresh start may not happen.

Strict (Part One ) by Hannah Ford
I will not know how this series ends because it's maddening to pay. for a half book. I finished part One in thirty minutes. I love the characters already but I will not join the money pit. Shame on you Hannah Ford.

Why bother!
This book was basically two chapters. Don’t bother reading this as you just have to buy the next two chapters at a time. How pathetic!!!!!
