ROMANTIC FICTION REVIEW: Hard Time - Cara McKenna

Release Date: 06/11/14
Publisher:  Piatkus

SYNOPSIS:

Annie Goodhouse doesn't need to be warned about bad boys; good sense and an abusive ex have given her plenty of reasons to play it safe. But when she steps into her new role as outreach librarian for Cousins Correctional Facility, no amount of good sense can keep her mind - or eyes - off inmate Eric Collier. Eric doesn't claim to be innocent of the crime that landed him in prison. In fact, he'd do it again if that's what it took to keep his family safe. Loyalty and force are what he knows. But meeting Annie makes him want to know more. When Eric begins courting Annie through letters, they embark on a reckless, secret romance - a forbidden fantasy that neither imagines could ever be real...until early parole for Eric changes everything, and forces them both to face a past they can't forget, and a desire they can't deny.


REVIEW:

OK, I don’t tend to spend a lot of time reading Romance novels, however when asked by a few of our readers to give this one a go, I thought that it might be a refreshing change. What occurs within is a tale that is interesting as the romance and passion burn hot within the pages and whilst it was a solid enough read, I did feel that there was one major problem with the book, that a lot of the threads within weren’t fully completed by the time the story ended.

All round if you like the romance genre this one will more than hit the spot for you. However my sojourns into this genre are going to be few and far between and personally I prefer them with a more supernatural twist.
