Becca Merritt is going back to work at the hospital after a
2-month leave of absence. The same place where she was
nearly abducted and where she met the love of her life,
Nick
Rixey. Her first day on the job went well, and when Nick
proposed that same evening, all the bad things from the
recent past seemed to have faded away. Until Becca's
imagination starts playing tricks on her, or is it only her
imagination?
Becca and Nick, the ones who started it all, finally tie
the
knot. What an extraordinary voyage it has been from the
very
beginning of the amazing Hard Ink series. HARD EVER
AFTER brings back so many memories, it made me want to go
back and re-read every book all over again! As everyone is
getting ready for the wedding, I was reminiscing along with
the characters, participating in the camaraderie and the
friendly ribbing, basking in the love and respect they all
have for each other. I choked up quite a few times,
especially at Nick's proposal; it is so heartfelt and
touching, especially from such a big, tough guy. I relished
those little intimate moments the women shared as if they
were my own, and recalled the intense and dramatic
circumstances in which they all met. But not everything
goes
according to plan; Ms. Kaye shakes things up, and she had
me
biting my nails and sitting on the edge of my seat as I
raced to reach the riveting conclusion!
HARD EVER AFTER is a book fans clamoured for, and we have
been rewarded with a fitting conclusion (or is it the
conclusion?). There is not a dull moment, and as every
other
book in the Hard Ink series, Ms. Kaye takes us on a
rollercoaster of
emotions: fun times, almost unbearable tension and drama,
and characters so real, we feel we're among friends. I
believe anyone who has read even only one book of the
Hard Ink series will be
overjoyed, and HARD EVER AFTER
should garner Ms. Kaye new fans as well, as the gist of the
series is cleverly and concisely recapped to give a taste
of
what this phenomenal series is all about. Another fantastic
read by Laura Kaye! Always and forever!
Justice served. Honor restored. Team reunited.
After a long battle to discover the truth, the men and
women
of Hard Ink have a lot to celebrate, especially the wedding
of two of their own--Nick Rixey and Becca Merritt, whose
hard-fought love deserves a happy ending.
As Nick and the team shift from crisis mode to building
their new security consulting firm, Becca heads back to
work
at the ER. But amid the everyday chaos of demanding jobs
and
their upcoming nuptials, an old menace they thought long
gone reemerges, threatening the peace they've only just
found.
Now, for one last time, Nick and Becca must fight for their
always and forever, because they know that when true love
overcomes all the odds it lasts hard ever after.
