"HARDER is a story that is packed with emotion, but still has that charm and sexiness"

Fresh Fiction Review

Harder

New Adult | Romance Erotica Sensual

HARDER is the second part of Caroline and West's story. Robin York picks up where Deeper left off, heading straight into the angst and dark times. After breaking Caro's heart in the last book, West experiences heartache of his own and reaches out to Caro to help him through it. When she returns to Silt to help him through the devastation ruining his family, Caro comes to realize her true feelings for West. That she loves him despite everything that has happened between them.

What I liked about Caro was that she always knew what she wanted. Though she may not know exactly how to get what she wanted, her eyes never strayed nor did she ever give up hope when things got particularly tough and dark. I loved that about her character because I think, especially reading from her point of view, it kept the book light where it could've been too heavy with the issues it deals with.

West is put through the wringer in this one. With no much on his plate, he becomes nasty and pushes everyone who loves him away. The angst is a major part of this book, but by the end, I was sold on the romance. West and Caroline are really great together.

HARDER is one of those books I couldn't put down. I blazed through it and within two hours of reading it non stop, I found that I wanted more by the end of it all. For a story that is packed with emotion, but still has that charm and sexiness, Robin York has you covered.

SUMMARY

In Robin York’s provocative new novel, two young ex-lovers find themselves together again in the shadow of tragedy—and an intense, undeniable attraction.

Caroline still dreams about West. His warm skin, his taut muscles, his hand sliding down her stomach. Then she wakes up and she’s back to reality: West is gone. And before he left, he broke her heart.

Then, out of the blue, West calls in crisis. A tragedy has hit his family—a family that’s already a fractured mess. Caroline knows what she has to do. Without discussion, without stopping to think, she’s on a plane, flying to his side to support him in any way he needs.

They’re together again, but things are totally different. West looks edgy, angry at the world. Caroline doesn’t fit in. She should be back in Iowa, finalizing her civil suit against the ex-boyfriend who posted their explicit pictures on a revenge porn website. But here she is. Deeply into West, wrapped up in him, in love with him. Still.

They fought the odds once. Losing each other was hard. But finding their way back to each other couldn’t be harder.
