Hard Lover (Houston After Dark Book 2) by Deborah Garland – Review by Naomi McDonald
Hard Lover by Deborah Garland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the second book in this series, but I was able to pick it up and read it without having read the first book. This is a complete story, but the epilogue ends with a lead into the next book.
As much as I LOVE a steamy book, I feel like the steamy scenes in this one went on too long. I would have preferred a better balance of steam and story line. That being said, those steamy scenes will heat you up. -fans self-
Another thing I felt that could have been handled better was the idea that Noah felt that the activities he participated in at the club were somehow wrong or deviant. At one point he refers to what he does there as “sick s–t.” There’s a lot of stigma around kink communities and I feel like this was a missed opportunity to portray it in a positive light.
Aside from those two things, it was a good read. I enjoyed the suspense.
