My biggest problem is that I love to read a series from beginning to end. Especially when I fall in love with a series. For me books are as addicting as those shows we all binge on Netflix and Amazon Prime.
This summer I started with The Hard Ink series by Laura Kaye: a faced paced, edge of your seat, sexy, romantic suspense series. While each book can be read on its own the underlying story of the 5 soldiers who were "other than honorably discharged" who find themselves on one last mission to clear their names runs through the series, and I had to keep reading, not only because I loved the characters, but I also had to find out how it played out.
The first book in the series is titled Hard As It Gets. Nick Rixey and Becca Merritt's story starts everything off when Becca shows up at Hard Ink, the tattoo parlor that Nick and his brother Jeremy own asking for help. Her brother has been presumably kidnapped, but Becca Merritt is his former commander's daughter. Nick and Becca find themselves needing each other in more way than one in the midst of a fight with an organized crime ring.
Laura Kaye creates characters that you care about to the depths of their souls. Putting this book down is as Hard As It Gets!
