Hard to Fight

By: Bella Jewel

Narrated by: Carly Robins

Grace is a bounty hunter who wants to be taken seriously, but her boss refuses to believe that a woman can bring down a dangerous criminal. She finally gets a chance to prove herself when she's given the case of a lifetime: capture Raide Knox and bring him to justice. Raide is a dangerous fugitive on the run...and the sexiest man Grace has ever met. Catching Raide won't be easy. He's not the kind of man to go down without a fight. Raide is more intense and frustrating than any man she's ever had to deal with, and the instantaneous attraction that sparks between them is undeniable. One thing is for sure...it's going to be a case they will never forget.

Critic reviews

"Funny, sassy and sexy, with an anti-hero you won't soon forget!" ( New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Chantal Fernando)

Loved

It started a tad slow but more than made up for the slow start. I absolutely fell in love with Raid and Grace. Bella did a wonderful job portraying the characters. I felt as thou I knew them personally by the end. I think I might almost miss them. Looking forward to book 2.

DNF: spent the whole night listening and I'm done

I loved the sassiness, loved the sexual tension, and I loved the performance of the narrator. What I didn't love was how absolutely, mind-numbingly bored I was by the time I got toward the end of the book. With about 1.5 hours left, I debated continuing and just finishing the book off or not but decided against it. I was just over the whole thing. I'd enjoyed it and then all the sudden I didn't. I wasn't drawn in with the same intensity of a book that you can't stop reading or listening to. It was good, but that's it. Just good.

Great book, bad narration

I like Bella Jewel's books. I have a hard time using a credit on anything less than 10 hours but I've bought a few of hers on audio and enjoyed them. This one I couldn't get past the first two chapters. The heroine has to be pretty tough, she's trying to make it as a bounty hunter right? To me she sounded like a high pitched, empty headed ditz. When she meets the hero it's mentioned he has a slight accent that she can't place. That's when the hero starts to sound like a bad imitation of Dracula or a Russian mob boss and I couldn't take any more.
I bought the book elsewhere and enjoyed reading it on paper so the hero could sound sexy and the heroine could sound like a grown up in my head.
I'm sure the narrator is great, she just missed on this one.

Ok story. Not so good female narrator.

Story was ok. However the narration made this a difficult listen for me. very predictable.

Decent story, Bad Narrator

Good thing Bella Jewel knows how to keep a reader entertained because Carly Robins needs to find a different job. She has two volumes--regular and extremely loud. Unfortunately, she mistakes volume for feeling...any feeling. I won't be listening to any other books with her as the narrator. If you go ahead and buy this keep your finger on the volume button. Oh and I didn't understand why the lead male character had a bad foreign accent if he was from Colorado.
