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….

Tension is mounting and whatever "relationship" is between Chloe and Gabe is intensifying. I could literally feel the tension while reading this part of Hannah Ford's storyline! Just about the time I think things are going to go even further, BAM, there's an unexpected twist of events I didn't see coming. I was lucky enough to be given a copy of this book and am giving my honest and voluntary review. I can't wait for the next book to find out where things go from here.

When I started reading this story, I could not put it down. I read the book in one day. This author is an awesome writer. I can not wait to read more of their books. Keep up the great work. You should definitely read this book.

RIP off and scam

The author split one book into 5 parts and is charging 2.99 each! Not worth it!!! Poorly written, editing sloppy. I expected better.

This is the fourth installment in Hannah Ford’s Strict series which focuses on the relationship between Gage Stratford, billionaire business CEO, and Chloe Cavanaugh, a college student completing her business major internship requirement at Gage’s business. Chloe is slowly finding out more about Gage’s personal life even though he remains closed off. Gage and Chloe’s relationship is building toward the loss of her virginity. The other interns in Chloe’s program are becoming suspicious that she and Gage are involved in a sexual relationship which could affect her graduation. There is a cliffhanger at the end of this book which is totally unexpected and changes the plot of this series. Hannah Ford’s writing and storytelling is spectacular. I can hardly wait for the release of Strict-Part Five. I highly recommend this book as well as the OUTSTANDING Strict series.

Solo office hanky panky ............... but with some video conferencing

Well Part Four immediately starts where Part Three ended with Chloe having to decide if she is willing to trade "her virgin pussy" for asking Gage a question and having him answer it truthfully. But she will not give in so easily, even if she really wants the answer to her question. There are a few fun office scenes between Gage and Chloe but all is not so easy as the other interns are more than suspicious she and Gage are sleeping together. Plus there is still the little matter of her best friend Grace and exactly why she has shown up in NYC. Add in the fact that at the end Chloe is tracked down by some police officers to let her know that Brandon McArthur has escaped jail and it is believed he might try to find her.

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

I think in my opinion you charge too much for fifteen minutes of reading;You get the readers so involved in the book that you can’t put it down so you have to keep paying for the next book and this goes on all night long, it’s so by the time you get through with it you’ve got $12.00 in a book in no time and still have one more book to read that hasn’t even been made,so I don’t like being ripped off by this.In my opinion I feel it’s very wrong doing this to a customer, I think when you start a book you should be able to finish it with no more paying for it. I will start watching more what I am doing!!

Esta super intrigante.
Gage ya empieza a responder a las miles de preguntas que tiene Chloe con respecto a su cicatriz, a Willow y otras ....
Pero este comienza con S3x t1p1ng, creo que si se le llama al s3x0 telfnico en un sotano de la empresa donde se guardan muebles que no se usan. Gage le cuenta a Chloe que su padrastro lo ponia a el y a su hermanastro a competir en una banda elastica y que un dia que no fue tan hombre le marco el cinturon en la mano, ese es el origen de su cicatriz.
Y de nuevo sale a bailar la palabra de seguridad "despedida" ....

Gawd this series is addictive! Chloe and Gage have this crazy back and forth that’s hard to keep up with but you can’t help but read. When things start to get to of the point of no return Chloe seems to think twice. And that ending ugh! Hannah sure knows how to leave you hanging! Can’t wait for the next book.

Love the series. Only reason for the lack of star is because it has taken so long in between books that it’s hard to follow. I have to reread the last chapter in order to figure out what is happening. My suggestion....wait until they all come out. They’re such short reads that it’ll be definitely be helpful and worth it if you wait!

Strict (part four)

Chloe is really trying to get thru this internship for her final.
But her boss Mr. Stratford has other plans for her. He has this longing to control her in every way. Read to see what happens.

The story continues, although I am a little mad, that I missed part 3 so I have no idea what happened in the previous book. Other than that, a good continuation of the story.

This author is a master on putting us on the edge. When you finally think that you got to understand the plot, everything changes again.
This book ends on a cliffhanger.
