Strict
For the first time, the entire STRICT series by Hannah Ford in one novel…
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….
Contains the entire STRICT series by Hannah Ford (Parts 1-10) and the HEA you’ve been craving.

Poppy & Alana are dicks. Just saying
W/Alana's blackmailing & her sisters death, my hopes for this book shot way down. Not a fan of those conflict tropes.
I really, really hate this Alanna chick
Man, Chloe is really annoying. They barely know each other & she's demanding all of his secrets immedialty- then there's her parents who treat her like the sun shines out of her ass - this character wss poorly developed. As for gage, he's meh - but I'm glad Alannas out - thoroughly hated her

There are so many grammatical mistakes in this book it’s ridiculous and for this reason it give it three stars. Overall the story it’s bad. There are some graphic scenes so you have to have a strong stomach. I liked that the characters get redemption in the end. They’ve had a hard life and in the end they do get a HEA.

2.5 stars
Definitely a book I would read again if it was edited thoroughly to remove the discrepancies. There are things that are contradictory and a lot of errors where you have to go back and read again changing some words. The foundation is good, but As the book stands, I wouldn’t recommend.

Nice Read
The storyline is nice and a little like Fiffty Shades but calmer and safer to read. However, the editing is not so good! There were numerous grammatical errore uncorrected, at times it was difficult to know which character was talking as the format was off and times when the lines spacing was wayyyy off!!!

Good Read
Was a good read. I like the domineering main character, who usually always has a soft spot for the female lead character. A little drama thrown into the mix helps make the story a little interesting. I would recommend this book. At first, I was a little uncertain about it, but then it got good. The ending was good but a bit sudden could have been a bit longer.

Ok
Good story. Chloe and Gage are likable. I don’t feel completely invested in them as I didn’t really feel the chemistry. But there was enough drama and smut to keep me engaged til the end.

great story
Great story but way too many typos. Many sections I had to re-read because it was a missing a word or doubled up on words that shouldn’t have been there. Other than that I really did enjoy the story.

WOW!
A great series, from a chance in counter, to working together. Was this love at first sight for Chloe and Gage? I think it was, how can dominating man find love? Gage just opened his eyes and there she was. God they got their HEA!!💙💚

Wow!!! Hannah it’s been a while since I’ve read one of your books but you have not disappointed me. Chloe & Gage ‘s characters are so well developed and the storyline is well written. I was drawn in until the very last page.

Overall I love the story. What have always disliked and the # of books for a short story. This novel could have easily been 1 book.

Sweet hot
Very well written, conversations flow great. Spicy content is out of this world. I love the way she is strong and stands up for herself but can let go when she needs to.

Not enough plot or spice to make up for the horrible editing. I was very surprised as I have read many of her books in the past that I really enjoyed.

Good read
Really good story line and great characters. Loved the little twists that pop up. Would recommend if you like BDSM style stories.
