Rock Hard

I stopped with 4 chapters left, it felt so repetitive and boring. I couldn't force myself to finish it.

The book was ok.... the romance was cute, slightly sinful, but there were moments that the lead female character, Charlotte, was too much for me. She has a lot of past hurt and she's working through that with this new relationship, but there were moments I thought ‘omg, you're an adult, please act like it'! She allowed her past hurts to control her life and I couldn't read about her self pity any longer.

Overall, their romance was cute, but I do not reccomend this book. Not worth the frustration.

Okay, so the first book was pretty hot, but this one? This one was practically SCORCHING - mostly due to the fact that the sex doesn't happen as quickly compared to the first book. Of more important note is how this one tackled issues connected to abusive relationships and to PTSD. I'm certain that aspect of this novel is likely to trigger some readers, so just be aware that there's depictions of a physically an emotionally abusive relationship in this story. I personally think it was depicted and handled quite well, and one of the most crucial aspects of this novel is how the couple at the centre of the story learn to adjust to the reality of that situation. Just in case though, know it's there.

Still, overall this is a great read - and I didn't even need to know anything about rugby to enjoy it!
