Publisher's summary

"Darker & More Intense Than Fifty Shades!"

After being left at the altar, Jade Roberts seeks solace at her best friend’s ranch on the Colorado western slope. Her humiliation still ripe, she doesn't expect to be attracted to her friend’s reticent brother, but when the gorgeous cowboy kisses her, all bets are off.

Talon Steel is broken. Having never fully healed from a horrific childhood trauma, he simply exists, taking from women what is offered and giving nothing in return...until Jade Roberts catapults into his life. She is beautiful, sweet, and giving, and his desire for her becomes a craving he fears he'll never be able to satisfy.

Passion sizzles between the two lovers...but long-buried secrets haunt them both and may eventually tear them apart.

loved this book. It kept me my toes wondering what

loves this book. It kept me in toes with wondering what was going to happen next. the love scenes were awesome

Worse narrators ever.

The guy narrater is a smidgen better than the woman. Over all they both suck. Monotone and boring. The woman narrator: "so exquisite feels so good" Spoke. With same tone as "I reviewed my pile of files"

And the man: There was the part with the mugging and the words that were said as talon is kicking the muggers butt were something along the lines of " Do you think you can just go around taking what you want from people?!" And it was read in the same tone as "I sit and stare at my glass of water"

They need to slapped. Just awful

Absolutely loved it!

How can I put into words just how amazing this book is? Craving is book 1 in the Steel Brothers series and it focuses on the Steel family. Book 1 is the start of Talon and Jade's intense, beautiful, broken, addictive, gut-wrenching, heartbreaking, and all-consuming love story.


I'll admit, at first I struggled to get into this, not much but enough to think "Well maybe this isn't for me"... Oh, how wrong was I? I am so so so glad I kept reading. At that moment, I thanked myself for being stubborn. By the 1/4 of the way through the book, I was hooked! Completely obsessed and I needed to know what happened, what was happening and what this author had in store for us readers. And she did not disappoint.

Book 1 is only the beginning and let me tell you now, it is one hell of a beginning! You will be hooked, you will be intrigued, you will be obsessed and you will crave more. Talon is a man with demons, with a dark, sordid, disturbing, torturous past that he struggles daily with. After going through a horrid and traumatic experience when he was just a boy, it has left him broken beyond belief. Demons taking over his life, his love life and his relationships with his family.

Jade was strong, not only for her but for Talon. She was going through her own issues. She believed in him when he didn't believe in himself... Even when he continued to push her away. She never went far. Something drawing her back in. Something drawing them both together, with chemistry that is off the charts. The push and pull with these two was enough to send me crazy. (In the best way possible of course) She knew there was something different about him, but she had no idea what she was about to find out would change her life completely. Will they work whatever it is between them out? Will it be happily ever after for them?

Book 1 slayed me. absolutely slayed me, it broke me... There were some scenes in this book that were familiar to me, that hit home HARD for me. I'm not going into deep with this review, I could sit and ramble on about it and how amazing it is, or I can tell you to go and grab a copy and give it a good chance. I doubt you'll be disappointed. I believe going in blind is the best thing you can do with this book and series.

I love all things Sebastian York and he voice talon perfectly, and I was surprised how much I liked Neva Navarre voice as Jade!

Please take note: This isn't for the faint of heart, this isn't some light and fluffy read. It takes some real-life trauma and the author does not shy away from much and some of these issues and situations come with trigger warnings.

Great story

This is the second time reasonably did audio this time.Great narration,Talon is a broken soul,Jade his salvation if he can
Let her in

Carving #1

I could not put down this book.my first in series
This is amazing new further for me.please read it you will not be sorry. Helen Hardt I am ready for #2😊

Great storyline

Very emotional sad. I empathized with Talon's emotional torture. It's not easy to let feelings from a horrible event go. He's a strong person.

LOVE Craving

What did you like best about this story?

The entire story.. Loved it all.. I just want to know when 2 and 3 will be available??

What does Sebastian York and Neva Navarre bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I would read the dictionary if Sebastian voiced it.. He's the best.. Both Sebastian and Neva bring the Talon and Jade to life.. You can feel the pasion, love, heartbreak in their voices

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When they were making love and Talon just stopped because he couldn't believe the emotions he was feeling.

Any additional comments?

Worth more than 1 credit... waiting or book 2 and 3

Fantastic Book

I am one hard cookie to please when it comes to books. I normally get through the first chapter and then stop immediately, just because the stories are not attention grabbing. With in 30 seconds of starting this book it was so hard not to put down. If you want a whirl-wind of emotions, sex, love, and drama this is the book for you

very sexy story

loved the book I don't have time to read myself but it was great to listen to while doing some data entry/auditing while at work ( through headphones for sure)

Wonderful beginning to a great saga!❤️

This was my first Helen Hardt’s novel and I can’t wait to dive in the rest of the saga books! Wonderful story, I loved the hidden drama and tragic secrets behind Tal’s past and personality. Jade is so sweet and caring and wishes to help him heal.
Their passionate connection and encounters are hot hot sexy hot. Helen is an extraordinary writer! I was so immersed in the scenes throughout the whole book.
Sebastian was out of this world of course. He is my platonic love haha and Neva was good too.
