I was extremely excited to have Hold Me Down Hard by Cathryn Fox in my hands.  I was also highly impressed.  Her debut at Entangled Publishing was an outstanding display of explosive passion, quick wit, well written and likeable characters, and good, clean fun.  While this book was a lot shorter than I like, Cathryn Fox makes it work in the sexiest of ways.Eden and Jay are neighbors and the best of friends.  Jay is a protective cop, with a sad past that makes him want to hide the wrong in the world from Eden and protect her in ways he thinks he has failed in his past.  Eden is a small town farm girl who has moved to the city to pursue acting,  who knows what she wants in her life and in the bedroom  but is afraid to show it  and to  risk her friendship with Jay.  Both attempt to hide who they really are from each other in an effort to keep their friendship happy and stress-free.Then one night, after drinks with girls and some titillating conversation, Eden takes the advice of her friends and writes a script in which she is rescued by a cop and asks Jay to rehearse lines with her, something  he does with her on a regular basis.  This script is unlike any he's ever rehearsed with her before and it pushes them both to the limits.I love that Jay can't control his want for her.  I love that Eden wants his dark loving.  I even love the slightly awkward morning after that brings to the fore-front the needs and wants they both have.  Throw in a hot sweep-it-all-to-the-floor sex scene and you are panting and needing ice water in the worst way.  I highly recommend this quick and delightful read.
