It’ll take a tough woman to win this Hard Hart…

Krista Matthews, a hard-headed, hard-fighting rookie cop, is determined to prove herself on the force. It’s not just a man’s world anymore and she'll show them all she’s up to the challenge, even if it means putting up with the advances from her lecherous mentor, Myles Slade. However, Brock is even more stubborn than she is, he’s all man, all brawn and brute—and whether she likes it or not he’s made keeping her safe his number one priority. He doesn't realize she doesn't need protection; she can take of herself and then some.

Brock Hart, bodyguard, and retired special operative has never known anyone like Krista. Ever since their first meeting, when she pulled him over for speeding, he’s been drawn to her. She infuriates him, challenges him, and has gotten under his skin in a way no woman ever has. He’s kept people at arm’s length all his life for good reason, but Krista won’t stand for it. She wants to know everything about him, and that puts him on edge. But one drunken night together changes everything. Their worlds are rocked, and Brock’s quiet, introverted life is threatened forever. Which may be exactly what he needs.

** Note, this book is part of a series but can easily be read as a standalone. All political views represented in this book do not necessarily reflect those of the author. This is fiction and characters are given their own thoughts, ideas, morals, ethics, religious and political opinions to make them seem more realistic.

A Canadian West Coast baby born and raised, Whitley is married to her high school sweetheart and together they have two beautiful daughters and a fluffy dog. She spends her days making food that gets thrown on the floor, vacuuming Cheerios out from under the couch and making sure that the dog food doesn’t end up in the air conditioner. But when the kids are at school and it’s not quite wine o’clock, Whitley sits down, avoids the pile of laundry on the couch, and writes.

This was an exciting story, full of insecurities, humor, fun and if course love. I think anyone that likes a good romance story will love this one.

I found this book on a freebie list. Thought, "why not". I didn't expect to like it a much as I did. Good character build up. The 'chemistry ' between the characters is good. And a little bit of snark here and there.

Sassy heroine. Hot grumpy alpha. Accidental baby. Dominance. Psycho cop. Mix it up and you've got one hot romantic story. Excellent story

This was a riveting story, lots of action, lots of passion and plenty of love. A very good start to an interesting series. Brock and Krista were a good match for a one night stand. She knew how meet him word for word or sex for sex. He knew how to protect her whether she wanted it or not. Be prepared for a battle of wills that end in a HEA.

Whitney Cox does it again. One of my favorite authors! She just had a way with words that puts you right into the characters' world and has you not wanting to put the book down until the end. Absolutely love the story of Brock & Krista. They are passionate, strong, and fierce. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Excitement

Reviewed in Italy on February 19, 2019

A down to earth rookie cop, fighting for her right to be a woman in a man's world, a sleaze-cop in her department who somehow she manages to resist, a real-life dark hero super macho type who pushes all her buttons, including the surprise baby and the control one.
All put together with a bit of superfluous BDSM, a lot of power exchange as a burgeoning couple, and an incredible group of family and friends.

This is absolutely fantastic read !!!
I want a Harty Boy like Brock. ❤️
Krista is a rookie cop and has had a hard day work, when she goes to a pub and has tequila shots.
Brock is at the bar when Krista comes in and orders food so she can soak up the tequila.
Loved everything about this book and highly recommend it.

A rookie cop has a bad day at work because of her creepy mentor who is pushing for a date and isn't going to take no for an answer. Instead she gets drunk and goes home with the tall, muscled retired special ops guy she meets in the bar.
A great introduction to new, easy to engage with characters and I'm looking forward to reading the next book.

OMG Brock Hart is the perfect Alpha male and Krista is his perfect match with her sassy independent self.
Brilliant storyline that keeps you gripped throughout with brilliant twists towards the end with a HEA.
