Conall is a lion shifter and he has been on the run for years with Amilynn, Vivian, Melissa and Tyrone. Together they have been running and hiding from their former abusive and deadly pride. The group has finally found peace with the Blackburn Pack and the woman have found their soulmates.

He loves his family but their happiness is annoying and a bit depressing for Conall so much so that he volunteers to go check on the old bear shifter widow who lives alone in the mountains. Knowing the girls should be safe with their mate he takes off for some much needed solitude.

The only problem is their old Pride is planning on finding them and attempts at revenge are at a breaking point. No one is safe, not even the widow who turns out to be just the shifter Conall needs to make him whole.

Madelyn however has serious trust issues and they maybe too much to overcome.

THE HARDER THEY FALL happens at the same time the as the previous book Break Her Fall. For those of you who read it you remember the state that Conell showed up in at the end of the book.

THE HARDER THEY FALL explains that and you finally get the well earned story of Conall. For those of you who have read the previous books in the Blake Pride series by Joanna Grace you will not be disappointed. For those of you who haven't what are you waiting for? The story lines tie together beautifully. This poor group a people who have suffered more than anyone should must still fight to ensure the happiness they have is not lost or taken from them.

THE HARDER THEY FALL is a page turner. I started reading it and wound up staying up late to finish. Thank you very much Joanna Grace, I was tired at work the next day, but it was well worth it. The Blake Pride series is a great series that readers of paranormal fantasy and romance will thoroughly enjoy. Go out and read it for yourself its yummy mind candy.
