THE HARDER SHE COMES is a group of short stories that
compliment each other. The stories were chosen very well and
seem to flow from one to the next easily. This was
definitely a "broaden my horizons" book and it did! I really
enjoyed reading it.
The girls in these stories have lives and they are
relatable. I found myself truly interested in what would
happen and invested in their well being. This is an erotic
book with very erotic stories, but there is more to them
than that. Each girl is searching for the right mate, the
perfect companion to a girl who wants love. That is what I
found to be the best thing about these stories. There are
some very hot scenes, but there are also some great love
stories. THE HARDER SHE COMES did not go for the short cut
and just
give readers erotic scenes, but also shows scenes with a
great deal of searching for
their true selves, as well as for true love and acceptance.
These stories do focus on the girls being different yet
right for each other. There are dominant women; some may say
butch, and women who need that kind of strength in their life,
a balance of sorts. The women are confidant and their
characters and very well developed. There are sirens, hard
farm girls and even some motorcycle riding tattoo artists,
all of which have wants and needs that must be met by just
the right match.
One story is of star-crossed lovers, a classic with a twist
called "The Bucket List." They are not the same age; in fact
they are very far apart in age. Another story called
"Tamales" gives the reader a bit of Latin spice in a
Christmas setting. My favorite though was "Pound" where the
two women work at an animal shelter. I have a big soft spot
for people who help animals and I want them to find love!
This is just a couple of the stories to pick from. I read
this from cover to cover and enjoyed them all, but if you
like you could read each separately.
That was another thing I really liked, not all the stories
end with love ever after. They are real and there are
problems that must be worked out. There are also a few sad
endings. This mix really does give the reader a full round
of women of different needs and wants.
THE HARDER SHE COMES is sexy and hot, but it is also
romantic and loving. That
is a hard thing to mix and it was done really well. THE
HARDER SHE COMES was
also a fast read; I really could not put it down. After each
story I was ready to start the next. I have to admit, that
while this is far outside my normal reading habits, these
stories left me feeling all warm inside. Love can be universal.
What is it about a pretty girl in a tight skirt bent over to
adjust her stockings? Or that hotter-than-hot butch,
swaggering into the bar like she owns it, eyes undressing
every pretty girl in the place?Some butches worship at the
alter of their femmes fatale and many little girls all have
a need to serve their, big, strong daddies. In we meet girls
salivating at the sight of well-filled and packed jeans and
bois dreaming of having a beautiful girl's red lipstick
smeared across their mouths. And not all the little girls
are good, some of them are naughty. The really fun ones are
downright nasty! Some butches need the discipline only their
lady can provide and many a femme lives for the protection
of her beautiful butch lover. Dl King has curated a singular
set of stories filled with sexy sirens luring unsuspecting
butches to their demise on the rocky shores of love, hot,
confident women in silk and lace during the day who will do
anything to serve their daddy's needs at night. The Harder
She Comes is great writing with characters that will stay
with you for a long, long time- sometimes sweet, always
sexy, often romantic and more than a little dangerous.
