She slides closer, rubbing on my dick as she presses her chest to me. Her lips brush against mine, and she wastes no time. Then the world spirals away as I kiss Mia Summers for the very first time. I take her face in my hands and bring her to me. “That we didn’t get to kiss, and I wanted to so badly.” “Dinner ran late, but I couldn’t stop thinking about you.” She gasps, a sexy noise that turns into a moan as she sinks down on my hard-on. Then I grab her hips and move her so she’s straddling my lap. I let go of her hand and thread my fingers through her hair. Whether it’s friends-to-lovers, enemies-to-lovers, or another slow burn, I am looking forward to the next adventure! Her characters are ambitious, the drama is low, and the banter is the best out there. There’s a reason Lauren Blakely is the ‘queen of comedy’ and Hard Wood is the perfect example. If you’ve read any of Blakely’s other recent releases, you will know exactly who they are! For instance, Patrick’s sister is a matchmaker and Mia’s friend plays laser tag. I also love how we see peeks of past characters and intertwined storylines in each of these books. Also, the chapters from his point of view are so unique and hilarious, I couldn’t wait for more from Zeus’ perspective. It was everything I could have asked for and more.įor the love of Zeus, I love Patrick’s cat! He’s adventurous, so he’s the perfect hiking companion for Patrick. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on their story and I was not disappointed in the least. These two are perfect for each other and I loved all of their banter and flirtations. Mia is no slouch in the kindness department, either. He’s kind and caring, and has a wicked sense of humor. What’s a guy to do? Roll the dice and let the chips fall where they may, of course.Īny lady would be lucky to have a Patrick in their life. Mia fits the bill in every way, except for the fact that she’s located on the opposite coast. He’s played the field, sowed his wild oats, and now he’s ready to find ‘the one’.


Patrick is an adventure guide based in New York City with the biggest zest for life I’ve ever seen in a character. She develops beauty products and is based out of San Francisco. Mia is Max’s sister from Joy Ride, the book that gave us a sneak peek into the flirtation and attraction between Patrick and Mia. The humor, the characters, and the storylines have been fantastic and entertaining and I am going to miss them. Each and every book has made my heart squishy and grin until my cheeks hurt. I’m so sad that we will be saying goodbye to the Big Rock world, but what a way to out in a blaze of glory! Hard Wood is a fantastic ending to one of my very favorite rom-com series ever. *wah wah waaaaaah* Cue the sad trombones…
