4.25 Love Letter StarsHard Time is a lovely, HOT romantic read, packed to the rafters with sexual tension and romance, all mixed up in a melting pot where I felt the anticipation of what may come....Annie Goodhouse knows all about bad boys, so she just wants to play it safe in her new role as an outreach librarian for Cousins Correctional Facility. She wants to play strictly by the rules. But inmate Eric sends her rule-book out the window.Eric Collier prisoner 802267 "So handsome it broke your heart." Good guy or bad guy??? He's guilty of his crime but has strong reasons for protecting his family, rightly or wrongly, he's a loyal ALPHA male. Yum!5 years since they’d tasted another person…. The anticipation, the emotion.... The SEXUAL TENSION! WOW!A secret, forbidden romance involving love letters that light up the page with lust and romance, it's all fantasy, HOT FANTASY Something that could never be real. It's safe.Then early parole comes and they're faced with the possibility that their fantasies can become reality? Their desires can be played out for real? Will they make that transition? Do either of them want to?I felt their deep connection, the way they're in tune with each other; their lust and longing... I felt it all. The writing is extremely atmospheric; the sexual intensity made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. There were moments when the emotion of it touched me deeply; the story gave me a feel of sinking dread that they may miss the opportunity of each other. Intense emotions, feelings and words. Their dialogue to each other is passionate and hot. I felt like something catastrophic may happen at any time. And to be completely honest, I would have liked more drama, to have felt more angst, I craved it and that’s what would have delivered my amazing star.I love the refreshing originality of the story and the sentiment it explores... Vengeance verses healing.To conclude...Hard Time is a stand alone story about forbidden love and taking risks; it's sensual, romantic, HOT and incredibly intense. The sexual tension is off the scale... Scorching. It doesn’t end in the traditional book tingle, all wrapped-up-in-a-bow kind of way, but it left me with feelings of satisfaction and contentment and thoughts of what may happen to them in their future. If like me you’re intrigued by the story and characters and adore a romance with hot lust and passion, then go read and enjoy. I had the most lovely time with Eric ♥Courtesy copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
