When I first requested this book for review, I wasn’t expecting it to be so short. But it’s a short story and with short stories, they either leave you wanting more or you’re happy with it. With this book, I was happy with it. It was a cute story about two neighbors who are good friends that come to love the hell out of each other but don’t know how to broach the topic since they’re both been firmly, friend-zoned.

Eden is an actress from Iowa who has the hots for her best friend/next door neighbor, Jay. Jay is a cop and he’s trying his damndest to keep things platonic between him and Eden because his world is filled with danger and he doesn’t want to subject Eden to all of that. At the same time, he won’t give up his dangerous job or world because of reasons that are his own. But damn does he want Eden.

Their coming together story was too cute for words. Eden wants to be more than friends with Jay and with the help of her friends, she finds out a way to make that dream, a reality and the way she went about it was cute and funny. Jay was a total stud and I ate him up.

This was a great, quick read for those times when you don’t have the time or energy to invest in a drawn out drama of a book. It was enjoyable. I will definitely be checking out more from this author in the future.

Wow for a short read this book packed a lot of smoking sexy punch to it. I love friends to lovers kind story lines and Hold Me Down Hard fit the bill. You have Eden and Jay who have been friends and neighbors for about three years. Each is seriously crushing and lusting after the other but neither will make a move. During one night of poker with her fellow actresses friends, they convince Eden to make the moves on Jay. Eden usually has Jay rehearsing scripts with her so Eden and the girls come up with a plan to write a specific fake script just for Jay, to get things to change from friends to lovers. Sexiness ensues and no holds bar banging happens. Handcuffs are involved and there are some exhibitionist happening in alleyways. The aggressive way these two go at the smexing, had this reader turning down the thermostat. Seriously Jay is one hot man. He's not only smoking hot but he's a cop too. I love me some men in blue who know how to work it and Jay knows how to work it. Eden was lovable and definitely has a dirty side that Jay can't resist. I like the pacing of the book. Cathryn gave me enough details to believe in their chemistry. If you are looking for a quick hot read with lovable characters definitely check this book out. I also want to say that I love this cover!
