Baltimore, 6 am. Beckett Murda is waiting for Kat Rixey to relieve him from his shift as a lookout. Since their headquarters was bombed, the team is on high alert. As the former soldiers who comprise Nick Rixey's team try desperately to clear their names and catch their enemies, Becket battles inner demons as well as his inexplicable attraction to Kat: she is a distraction but worse, she makes him feel, which he cannot recall ever happening to him since... well, ever.

Anyone who has been following Laura Kaye's fantastic Hard Ink series will expect something great for the last book in the series, and to say HARD TO LET GO does not disappoint would be the understatement of the year! For anyone who had not read the previous books, Ms. Kaye provides a concise and precise background on the story and the characters, and brings everyone up to speed so new readers need not worry and can dive in as well as the converted. And oh my goodness, I thought Laura Kaye was going to slay me with HARD TO LET GO!

Amidst the claustrophobic and electric atmosphere that envelops the team as they anticipate another blow from their enemies, Kat Rixey, Nick's little sister, joins her brothers and brothers-in-arms; her ex-boyfriend is stalking her and she needs to get away from him. What she had not bargained for was to connect with Beckett Murda; they'd had a tense relationship before. Beckett is angry, he's always angry, he's angry at everything, and learning why nearly broke my heart. But Kat is tough and as she stands up to him and doesn't push him away, as he thought, Beckett realises that he has to rid himself of the dark echoes from his past if he is to have a life, and the unexpected help comes in the lovely form of Kat Rixey. And what solace it is! Ms. Kaye writes sex scenes like it's nobody's business, and the blistering chemistry between Kat and Becket will leave you panting and begging for more!

But. While romance is wreaking havoc with Beckett's very soul, trouble with a capital T is brewing, and this is where Laura Kaye comes out with both barrels blazing! If you expected world-class action in HARD TO LET GO, think again and multiply that by ten! As stunning revelations are made, events unfurl at breakneck speed, and startling plot twists will leave you reeling; disclosures are made from unexpected sources, allies and foes are not necessarily whom we thought, nothing remains as it was, but will justice finally prevail? HARD TO LET GO has to be the most explosive conclusion to a series ever! Do not miss it at any cost!
