**I received this book from Penguin Group-InterMix through NetGalley for an honest review.**Annie is a librarian who once a week works at the prison, Eric is an inmate at said prison. They both start to get to know one another through secret letters. Eric has several years left on his sentence but one day he finds out he’s getting paroled. Annie has a decision to make when it comes to what she wants once Eric is released.Hard Time was one seriously hot read. The way things started out with these two had me seriously excited but equally nervous. Being that they both are under the impression nothing is going to come of their correspondents they waste no time getting right to it. While a lot of their letters refer to desires they both don’t believe will come to fruition they also have sweet elements to it. Eric isn’t your normal convict. While his sentence is justifiable he is still a really sweet guy, not at all what I would have expected of him. Eric has several great qualities. He’s loyal, honest and dedicated to those he loves. His commitment to his family was admirable even if it was a little frustrating at times. I liked Annie as well. The way she felt about several situations pertaining to Eric was justifiable in my opinion. Her “date nights” were pretty funny to me as well.There were some things while it had no impact on how I felt about this story that I wanted a little more of.  Together they were great. While there really isn’t a need for it I’d love to read more about these two. Overall this was definitely a great story.
