Rough Hard Fierce

By: Skye Warren

Narrated by: Rose Dioro

Length: 10 hrs and 50 mins

Publisher's Summary

I'm a cautionary tale. A statistic. A victim. A single teenage mother from the poor part of town. Most of the time, I'm too busy working and struggling to care what people think. Survival doesn't come easy.

I have a dark secret, a pressure valve, a rare moment just for myself. On these nights, I visit a club. There, I find men who give me what I need.

Men like Colin.

But he wants more than a few stolen hours. He demands more than my body. He wants my heart and soul - my happily ever after. I never thought I'd be Cinderella. I never thought a man that rough could be my prince.

Contains Rough, Hard, and Fierce, the complete story of Colin and Allie.

Sweet and Sinful

A damaged but strong and fierce female lead coupled with a dark and broody, secretive male lead makes for an intensely satisfying listen.

Rose Dioro was perfect for this role as her narration was not only technically amazing, but the emotion she portrayed was convincing and enthralling.

I cannot wait to continue on with the Chicago Underground series, most definitely credit worthy.

love em

I was like really, the end? I don't want their story to end. I loved how they were together. An unusual start and loving ending. And I did not understand Phillip at all. I hope one of these is about him.

This is definitely not a story for the faint-hearted!There are several triggers in this story of rape and abuse! However it was very well worth the read! The only problem in my opinion was that Shelly would prostitute herself for her best friend Ally which is highly unlikely. Collin and Ally’s HEA was hard won, but worth it in the end. I enjoyed this!

Terrible

I kept waiting for it to get better. Narration was awful and cheesy. The main character was whiny, insecure and annoying.

GREAT BOOK

I really liked the book. good story..good characters..good steamy parts..good love story..good narration. looking forward to the next book in the series

Where to start?.....Ok let's have some real talk here... First off this series was the first set that I've read by Skye Warren. I've had this series on my TBR list forever but was too chicken. Guess what I am so glad I caved and read! I'm now a fan and can't wait to pick up the next Skye Warren book on my list.

So you're probably wondering why it took me so long. I'll be honest with you some of the reviews scared me to death so I'm going to clear up a few things (in my opinion) about this series. First there are a few triggers in this book, rape. Yes Allie was raped as a child by her "bestfriend" which in turn gave her the idea that ALL men don't stop at the word NO. In my opinion this is totally understandable being that this happened to her at such a young age. Second yes there is prostitution/escort in this book do I agree with Shelly, Shelly is Allie's best-friend and neighbor, choose profession? No BUT sometime you have to do what you have to do to survive. Now on to the secrets and boy oh boy are there secrets being kept throughout this series. Am i going to tell what these secrets are..NOPE READ to find out :-) Some are justifiable and some you're going to be like "really just tell the damn truth because you know there is going to be trouble when the truth comes to light."

Ok so I've touched on Allie and Shelly now Bailey is the little ray of sunshine throughout these books. She is Allie daughter that she had with her rapist/ex-bestfriend Andrew. This little girl always makes her presence known when things get a little too intense. Now on to Colin. Colin meets Allie during one of her "date nights" at the club. Colin isn't one of Allie's regular "date night" hook ups. Colin gives Allie everything that she didn't know a man could provide to a woman, safety and affection. Colin is a man of few words but he's oh so HOT!

Now do I recommend you read series.... YES but be warned this isn't your regular sunshine and rainbows romantic read. This series is real, suspense, intense, in your face romance. Give it a read I promise you won't be disappointed.

Meh ... disappointing

Ok, maybe I had high expectations. I’d read a few reviews and thought this book would be right up my street - and I usually enjoy Slye warren - but this didn’t do it for me at all. I couldn’t detect any chemistry between the characters and almost to the end was convinced the heroine was living with the hero only for cheap accommodation (offset by her laundry and baking services!). Shelly, the hooker with the big heart didn’t ring at all true for me either and the other characters were not developed in the slightest (they probably feature in other books in the series, which is fair enough- but I’d like my interest piqued). I read this partly on kindle and listened on audible. Usually, for me the narrator adds to the story but not in this case. I couldn’t tell the difference between Colin and Ali, or any of the characters. There wasn’t even a differentiation between the male and female characters which spoiled it substantially for me.

This book was an amazing read.

This book had romance and drama with so much suspense, Is' a book you will not want to put down. I had gotten so wrapped up in the characters. I felled sorrow for all the characters at any given time. I was hoping for happiness went I thought it would end badly. Amazing and awesome books.
