Hard to Let Go

A Hard Ink Novel

By: Laura Kaye

Narrated by: Seraphina Valentine

Five dishonored soldiers.
Former Special Forces.
One last mission.
These are the men of Hard Ink.

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.

Love love this series

I love this series I hope she writes more stories. It makes you laugh and cry.

Amazing ending to a favorite series

Any additional comments?

Aw, it will be so hard to let go of this series!

This series has been one of my favorite since I picked it up. Which is surprising, because with the heavy military presence, these books just don’t ever sit well with me. But Laura knows how to write such realistic, broken characters that sold me from page 1.

In the final installment of the Hard Ink series we get Kat and Beckett’s story plus, the conclusion of the overall plot arc of the series and what really went down that devastating day in Afghanistan and their determination to get to the bottom of what happened and to clear their name.

Of all the couples in the series, Kat and Beckett are probably my second favorite couple. Like all the other males, Beckett carries a lot of guilt about that day. Not to mention, a pretty dark past that keeps him isolated from all emotions. Kat brings out a lot of emotions from Beckett; most good but either way, he isn’t really used to it and it makes him a hot mess.

I adored Kat. She is fierce and feisty, but vulnerable at the same time. She is such a great support for both her brothers and Beckett. She wears her emotions on her sleeve and I loved that. True to the other Hard Ink novels, Kat and Beckett have many hot & sexy scenes. Their scenes are the hottest ones in the series I think!

The ending had me in tears. Simply because everything that the team has worked so hard for in the weeks clearing their name, comes to a close. It was heartbreaking but uplifting.

The Narrator

I love Seraphine Valentine. She has done all the books in the series. She handles every aspect of these novels with grace. The emotions and the sexy times (haha). I am excited to see more for her in the future!

If you couldn’t tell, I loved Hard to Let Go. I also loved that things are left open to the spill off series about the MC. I highly recommend this series to EVERYONE.

Awesome series.

Loved this series. Lots of action/romance/humor. Just all around great guys, and perfect balance of POV between both charaters. Good job Laura Kaye!

IT'LL BE HARD TO LET GO OF THIS SERIES

As you listen to the stories in this awesome series, about the surviving five dishonourably discharged Special Ops Soldiers who were set-up to all be killed along with the rest of their team, you can't help but be drawn into the suspense, tension and hard won clues as to who set them up, why and how much danger are they in now. Then there's the love stories that go along with them which makes them all sizzling, compelling, drama-filled, sexy and romantic listens.

Beckett and Kat's story ended the remaining tight team's struggle to reclaim their dignities, reputations, lives and wrapped up the who, how they did it and the consequences it had on their lives and the lives of the men who organised the whole vicious criminal plan. But as well as that there was a tender and beautiful romance intertwined around nail-biting drama and suspense as the clues kept mounting up.

Worth a credit? Dual POV, great narration, sexy romance and a plot that was full of intrigue and action so..... YES very creditworthy. Oh where Laura are we going from here?

Hope that you will revisit these characters one day!

Loved this story/conclusion of the Hard Ink series, but definitely left the option to revisit down the road, it's hot and funny at times suspenseful and heart wrenching in others. I've enjoyed this series from the first, and each story is worthy of the same high praise! True to life characters made me feel every high and low that they faced. Five stars all the way around!!!
