Hard To Love (The Hard Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

by S. Jones (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 182 ratings

Chase Newman was everything I tried to avoid—charming, confident, and really good at getting what he wanted. And for some reason, he had his sights set on me.

Falling in love with him was easy, but our love was messy and complicated.

He made me believe in second chances. I thought I finally found my happy ending.

Until everything we built felt like a lie.

Suddenly, I was standing on shaky ground, wondering if what we had was worth fighting for.

My heart was being pulled in one direction while my fear was pulled in another.

I wanted to hold on and trust that our love could weather any storm because I wasn’t sure what scared me more, losing him or losing myself in the process.

    3.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable story
    Reviewed in Australia on 10 May 2017
    3 1/2 stars

    This first book of Sandra Jones is a romance with true angst!

    Emily works in real estate and isn't happy in her relationship with Brad! Chase is a wealthy lawyer who is instantly attracted to Emily when he meets her in his brother's nightclub that he co-owns! Emily is not making it easy for Chase and this leads to him being intrigued by her behaviour...this is their love story.

    Emily & Chase have such a rocky road in their relationship that you really wonder if they will make it together. I feel this shows their relationship in a more realistic light, people do have a lot of ups and downs and it is easy to understand where they are both coming from...even if I do feel like giving many of the characters a shake every once in awhile.

    The story, I find, seems stretched out a bit and not as fast moving as it could be but a good storyline. Thus the rating as I feel it could have been paced a little quicker.

    All in all an enjoyable story.

    This is the first book I've read by this author and it was absolutely fantastic I'm glad a choose it.
    I couldn't put it down, it's a real page turner.
    The characters were very loveable especially Emily, she was sweet but also very strong minded too and she knew exactly what she wanted. She's just come out of a long term relationship when she met Chase a real sexy, rich alpha male he is, but you knew that they were meant to be, the chemistry they had was phenomenal. They had a full on soul connection and I loved it, watching they story unfold was amazing. The story had a lot of twists and turn's and they went through alot together. The love that Chase had for Emily was undeniable and I was desperate to see what happened next.
    I really enjoyed this book and all the characters in it the author really knew how to bring the characters and story alive and I'm glad I picked it up I was not disappointed, and I can't wait, can't wait to read the second book. This author has a true gift of writing and I would highly recommend this book.

    S. Jones is off to a fantastic start with her first published novel! The story grabbed my interest right from the first chapter. The characters grabbed my heart and I couldn't wait to see how their love story played out. It was a relaxing and exciting read-a great way to destress! I can't wait to read the next novel by this talented author...Well done!

    I loved how the main characters come together. I love the 6th sense intuition Emily (main character) had and used. Not often enough in writing. Chase (other main character) was shown as a macho, but down to earth kind of guy. This is a sweet romance in which many twist and turns that bring together the lovers. Excellent read and highly recommended

    First of all its a good length so you get to know the characters in depth. I didnt quite get why Emily would stay with her boyfriend for two years knowing for a long time he wasnt the one. Her best friend pushes her to go to a new nightclub where she meets Chase. He makes a play for her straight away and she is bowled over by how handsome he is. He has to work hard to get her to be with him which is a novelty for him. As they get to know each other she is upset when he takes someone else to a party and she breaks up with him. Her ex is still in the picture wanting her back and Chase is jealous not handling things well when he has big secrets.

    I loved this book I just couldn't put it down! I am sad it got swallowed into the sea of books on my kindle for so long it is a real gem! It's nice to read a story that is so close to reality where everything isn't always perfect and there are arguments, and people are suspicious for a real reason, but the happiness is genuine and the love you read is too. The author did an amazing job and my hat is off to them and I will look forward to reading more this time it will be on the top of my tbr pile.
