About HARD TO LET GO:
Beckett Murda hates to dwell on the past. But his investigation into the ambush that killed half his Special Forces team and ended his Army career gives him little choice. Just when his team learns how powerful their enemies are, hard-ass Beckett encounters his biggest complication yet—a seductive, feisty Katherine Rixey.
A tough, stubborn prosecutor, Kat visits her brothers’ Hard Ink Tattoo shop following a bad break-up—and finds herself staring down the barrel of a stranger’s gun. Beckett is hard-bodied and sexy as hell, but he’s also the most infuriating man ever. Worse, Kat’s brothers are at war with the criminals her office is investigating. When Kat joins the fight, she lands straight in Beckett’s sights . . . and in his arms. Not to mention their enemies’ crosshairs.
Now Beckett and Kat must set aside their differences to work together, because the only thing sweeter than justice is finding love and never letting go.
REVIEW:
YES! romantic suspense done right! Beckett was full of feels and Kat was full of sass. The plot leaked intense drama and danger that did not quit. Tensions ran high, conspiracies were unraveled and Beckett’s cock hardened at the sight of Kat. sigh. All is well with the world.
The second that Beckett lays eyes on Kat he knows that he’s in trouble. He doesn’t feel like this for women – he doesn’t feel at all. So when Kat turns this switch on in Beckett he’s at a loss of how to react – especially when the two of them word spar like it’s an Olympic competition. The sexual chemistry is off the charts hot – and when they can’t fight the sizzling sexual tension anymore, it’s all hands and faces and tongues and ahhhhh, it’s fucking hot is what it is.
Of course, let’s not forget that Kat’s in Baltimore not only to help out her brother and his friends, Beckett included, on their mission to clear their names and their military service histories, but she’s also there to escape her ex-boyfriend would-be stalker. Kat was planning on breaking some of her rules – and her ethics – but she wasn’t planning on fucking her brother’s best friend. But now she can’t seem to stop…
There is the obvious feelings-potentially-get-in-the-way-of-the-mission plot, but there are other twists and turns that I hadn’t expected. This book kept me on my toes and had me furiously turning the pages. I not only wanted Kat and Beckett to make it out alive and in love, but I quickly became invested in the other characters as well. The Hard Ink crew is hard to beat when it comes to teamwork, strategy, and above all else: family. This book had my heart racing, my stomach dropping and my toes curling. MORE PLEASE. 4.5 stars!

EXCERPT:
Taking a deep breath, Beckett knocked on the door.
No answer.
He turned the knob, and the door opened.
“Go away,” came a strained voice.
Beckett poked his head through the opening. Kat sat in a ball in the corner, her legs pulled up to her chest, her arms hugging herself tight.
“Aw, Jesus, Beckett. Really?” Her face was splotchy and her eyes watery, though he didn’t see any tears.
Ten-to-one she was going through some adrenaline letdown right now, too. Which no doubt made it all worse. That shit could fuck you up even when you were used to how it left you feeling drained and shaky, by how all the stress you’d suppressed during the height of the crisis boomeranged twice over after the fact.
He came into the room, closed the door, and turned the lock for good measure. And then he crossed to Kat, scooped his arms under her knees and behind her back and lifted her up against him.
She smacked his chest. “Put me down.”
“No.” He moved to the edge of the bed.
“I don’t need this right now, Beckett. Put me down.”
“Yes, you do,” he said, sitting on the edge of the mattress. He pulled her face in against his throat and smoothed her hair back from her cheek. She trembled against him, just the littlest bit, her skin hot to the touch. He pressed a kiss to her forehead and hugged her tighter. “You did good, kid.”
Every one of her muscles went tight. Her hand fisted in his shirt. And her breath caught as she buried her face against his neck and shoulder.
Then Kat burst out crying.
And it was like being torn apart and put back together, all at once. He hated her pain, but he adored that she wasn’t hiding herself from him, and that she was letting him be there for her.
He didn’t shush her, or try to talk her down, or encourage her to dry her eyes. To be sure, her tears were like daggers in his heart—they hurt like fucking hell. But the only way she was going to feel better was to let this shit out. Ironic realization for him—he did actually see that. But just because you could see what was good for others didn’t mean you had the first goddamned idea how to apply those principles in your own life. And that was a problem for another time anyway.
What mattered right now was Kat. What mattered … was Kat.
