Elizabeth's Thoughts

Oh my goshness! I wish I could live inside Laura Kaye’s mind so I can spend every day with these amazing characters!

This is a quick read that will have you BEGGING for more! Jeremy and Charlie are perfect together! I loved watching their friendship blossom into an all-consuming inferno of passion and love.  The story was way too short but it’s filled with sexy men, tattoos and sex scenes so explosive they will set your reading device on fire!

I was so glad to get Charlie’s point of view. It was awesome to learn more about this shy computer genius.  Charlie struggles with being open about his feelings for Jeremy. This stems back from his father’s disapproval and unwillingness to accept Charlie as a gay man. But thankfully Jeremy’s love is able to heal in ways Charlie could never imagine which is reflected in his thoughts here:

The instant his lips crashed into Jeremy’s, Charlie realized something he’d never known before. Conquering fear didn’t mean not being afraid, it meant being afraid of something and doing it anyway. It meant saying no to fear—no you can’t rule me, no you can’t hold me back, no you can’t keep me from the things I want the most. Not anymore.

HARD TO BE GOOD is emotional, heart-melting and has the HOTTEST first kiss scene I’ve ever read! It can easily be read as part of the series or as a standalone. I highly recommend this and any of the author’s books!

Most authors give you what you want; Laura Kaye gives you what you need.

10 Stars for Jeremy and Charlie!
