Hard as It Gets by Laura Kaye

Hard as It Gets (Hard Ink, #1)

by Laura Kaye

The first book in a hot new series, Hard As it Gets has a smart series hook - using a tattoo parlor as a front, a brotherhood of elite Special Ops engage in secret operations that lead to all-out war with an organized crime ring...while falling in love with women who are truly their matches!

Great addition to my romance reading repertoire.

Becca's brother is missing, and all she has is a cryptic message to find Rixey. Rixey, it turns out, is an ex-member of Becca's father's special ops team. Though he resisted at first, Rixey could not leave Becca once he knew she was in danger.

Rixey was a great hero, with just the right balance of alpha tendencies and a tender heart. I enjoyed the chemistry between Becca and Nick, as well as, between the entire group. When the survivors of Nick's team reassembled with multiple motives, there was angst, bromance, and great camaraderie. This book is rather quick paced, and filled with lots of action. I gasped, laughed, and swooned.

Since I listened to the audiobook, I would like to comment on the voice talent. I thought she was great, and found she did a great job with conveying the gravitas and emotion needed for each scene.
