Hard Lover (Houston After Dark Book 2) by Deborah Garland – Review by Kerry Carr

Hard Lover by Deborah Garland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a very hot and steamy read. The connection and attraction between the main character is electric and jumps off the page. As a reader you are completely consumed by this couples feelings and attraction. You feel the fight that they go through to not give into their feelings but sometimes there is nothing you can do to fight the attraction.

Callie has lived a protected life with her over protective brother but she is a grown woman and feels its time to go after what she wants. And what she wants is her brother best friend Noah.
When she goes to a club hoping to bump into him she gets more than she imagined when she witnesses him with another woman. This vision caused her crush to go from simmering to boiling hot and she knows there is no turning back.

Noah spots Callie in the crowd watching him. He is shocked but also completely captivated by her. His feelings for her change and grow and he wants her so bad.

When Callie is attacked, he takes her in with the intention to protect her as a favour to her brother but as time goes on he realises that he’s also doing it for himself. He is falling for her and can’t help himself.
However, this romance isn’t going to be plain sailing. By being with him Callie is in danger and no matter how much he wants her he needs her to keep her distance to protect her from someone in his past.

Can they ignore their feelings? Can Noah risk putting Callie in danger for a chance of a happy life? Will this couple finally get to embrace their attraction to each other or will things from the past and Callie’s brother have other ideas?

This is one book that you won’t be able to put down and this couple will drag you into their story and they won’t let go.
