In book four of the Vegas Top Gun series, Katie Porter delivers a story that hits harder than all the ones before it. For eight years, U.S. Air Force Captain Liam "Dash" Christiansen has been married to his wife, Sunita. But after very long separations due to work, they have grown apart as couples do sometimes.

When Sunita returns after a particularly long trip, she drops a bomb and tells Dash that she wants a divorce and that she has another man waiting for her. Dash cannot believe his ears. Anger boils through his veins and he channels it through his lust for his wife.

As a caution to all readers, I feel that I must warn all that there is violent sex in this book. Although all the sex is consensual, some scenes will appear forced since Sunita enjoys that kind of kink. I suggest that if you are sensitive to images of rape, then perhaps this book may not be for you. Forced seduction, name-calling and the rape fantasy are the dominant kink in HARD WAY.

While the violent sex didn't bother me so much, it was the lack of storyline that disappointed me about this book. The beginning setup felt weak to me and I never felt the connection between Dash and Sunny. Porter spends so much time on the sex that it overpowers the characters, leaving no room to explore Dash and Sunny's emotions outside of the anger in the bedroom.

HARD WAY is no-holds-barred kink, but unfortunately, it didn't sparkle for me this time around.
