We are introduced to a new character, Katherine Rixey and gads I so hope we see more of this strong, snarky fireball. The characters in Hard Ink are all strong, well-developed, complicated and swoon-worthy.While the action did not allow for too much cuddle time, I enjoyed the moments they shared. Marz surprised me in the bedroom, for such a good boy the man is naughty and it notched up the heat. While things progressed rapidly, Kaye made me connect with Marz and Emile allowing me to feel their emotions and the romance felt genuine. The romance is a nice mix of sweet and heat.The party is far from over, but the directive is become more honed. I loved the dynamics of the team working together and their shared excitement as pieces fall together. We gain significant knowledge and one tidbit changes the game for the men and woman of Hard Ink. We see progress in the overall arc of Hard Ink.She gives you a connection to her characters. Kaye has this gift for drawing you in and holding your attention to the last page. We get a strong story with all the danger and interaction of the team. The storyline in Hard to Come By is intense to be sure, but Kaye toned this one down, gone are the over the top elements of the previous book.I cannot help but smile when I think of him. He can be funny and lightens everyone’s moods.I just want to squeeze him! He is the total package making him a swoon-worthy book boyfriend. I have had a soft spot for Marz since the beginning and love this gentle, optimistic, caring soul. Derek DiMarzio aka “Marz” is part of a disgraced Special Forces team, who sacrificed his leg to save a teammate and boosted moral until they were rescued.I love spending time with this motley band of brothers and the woman who steal their hearts.įive Reasons to grab a Mocha Coffee and curl up by the fire with Hard to Come By…. Derek and Emile’s story is sweet and hot and we gain more insight into the overall ARC situation.

Hard to Come By the third book in the Hard Ink series by Laura Kaye is hands down one of my favorites.

Because love is too hard to come by to let slip away… Derek’s easy smile and quiet strength tempt Emilie to open up, igniting the desire between them and leading Derek to crave a woman he shouldn’t trust. As the team’s investigation reveals how powerful their enemies are, Derek and Emilie must prove where their loyalties lie before hearts are broken and lives are lost. He just never expected to want the beautiful woman he found there. When a sexy stranger asks questions about her brother, Emilie Garza is torn between loyalty to the brother she once idolized and fear of the war-changed man he's become. Caught between desire and loyalty… Derek DiMarzio would do anything for the members of his disgraced Special Forces team-sacrifice his body, help a former teammate with a covert operation to restore their honor, and even go behind enemy lines.
