Strict #2
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….

And it's official, I REALLY dislike Alanna. I know the series just started but Hannah Ford has flawlessly laid out her personality traits until they just almost flash malevolent with practically every word out of her mouth. *body shiver* And what's the deal with Willow? Is that tatoo significant? And if it is, is it to Gage or River? Another thing … why is Aubrey seemingly closer to Gage than River? What's going on there? Hannah Ford has once again grabbed hold of her audience and pulled me in so quickly I didn't want it to end.

This second book in this series really gets you addicted. Chloe and Gage are like oil and water. But Gage can’t keep away! I have a feeling this series will be epic! And I can’t wait to get the next book in this series

What a whirlwind
So Gage found out about Chloe's past and her murdered sister, after what had happened in his office, he is ready to fire her again. I've never seen so many threats of being fired. Of course a deal is struck to keep her job and then things start heating up again, which seemed really inappropriate, which was addressed later. More information is being given about other characters and its going to be interesting to see how it all develops. I especially can't wait to find out more about River.

Strict should be a stand alone book. Not a chapter series
2.99 for a chapter? No thanks. I would like to finish the series because it's intriguing but I won't. I would consider paying up to $15 for a complete book but this one isn't worth the $30 you're asking. You'd sell more copies if you lowered the price.

Does he pursue her knowing about her history..........Can she give in to him while still standing her ground
In Part Two of Strict we find that Chloe has a secret from a couple of years ago that was hinted at during Part One. I am not going to tell it, as it will ruin part of the plot. But let's just say that it has some bearing about a D/s and BDSM relationship for her and Gage. Gage tries to fire her for "not telling him", even though it has nothing to do with her internship at Stratford Investments. I loved that she stood toe-to-toe with Gage and did not back down or beg to keep her job. Instead she made it clear that as it did not have anything to do with her job performance then it was not a reason for her to be fired. This happened a couple of times during this part and each time she stood her ground.
You can see that Gage is slowly becoming obsessed with Chloe and his want/need for her. He cannot admit it to himself quite yet but he is about to become addicted to her.
I need the next part in this story to see what happens between these two. This is quickly becoming like a soap opera in that you can't wait to see what happens the next day!!!
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

Where Chloe is concern, Gage can't resist!
by sewsummore
Gage has decided that Chloe is a distraction at work and tries to terminate her employment but instead she talks him into keeping her. Finding out that her twin sister had been killed by her dom would make their attraction to each other difficult for her to handle but again she proves him wrong. I enjoyed reading about Chloe demolishing his ideas about her and as a result winning their argument. Gage is the weak link and he can't help himself where Chloe is concerned!

We find out what was in the folder Gage took to Chloe, he tries to fire her again based on this new development but she refuses to leave because it does not affect her ability to perform her work. Gage can't stay away and keeps fighting the attraction. New characters are introduced and i look forward to learning more about them and their secrets. Patiently waiting on Part 3 but i hope this story is not dragged on too much.

After reading the first book I was on the edge of my seat with wanting to know Chloe's secret. Now that I have read the second installment I have more questions revolving around the supporting characters. This book is as awesome as the first. The characters are progressing with the story line. The story line is EVERYTHING.

Oh my!!!
Gage is getting hot under the collar about Chloe and can't get her out of his mind. Gage has never felt this way before about a woman he traps her in his library and she safe words out and runs off. Just as he is about to chase after her a phone call from his mother about his stepsister who has anger issues, he has to go.

Enjoying this series so far. Gage and Chloe still has far to go to trust each other. They have a lot of things to work out, both with hang-ups from the past. Cannot wait for the next book. Five stars from meI received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Good book winning for just one novel
Her home are good. I just wish she would write on novel and then charge on price. I get tired of purchasing two three and four books. She is a good storyteller!

She said "Yes sir, I am a virgin" and that was the moment I dnf'd it. It was a bad version of Fifty shades and that's saying something because I hate Fifty Shades a lot
