What’s life without a little chaos? Who would’ve thought a chance meeting on an airplane could’ve turned into a whirlwind romance like none other? Certainly not Freya Lapierre, who’d thought she’d never experience love again, not after the secrets and devastation her late husband left her with. She figured she was destined for a life of heartache and loneliness. But Jake changed all that. He … that. He showed Freya a new way to live with passion, self-love and honesty. He brought her into his family fold and introduced her to people who will always have her back. Only, Freya’s fears, insecurities and the enemies her ex-husband left behind threaten this new family and force Freya to a take a risk, endangering those she loves most in the process.
Jake Leeman’s been knocked off his feet by the stunning Freya. She intrigues him, challenges him, and most of all loves him implicitly. He’s finally earned her trust, and he’s determined to keep it. But life has other plans for Jake, and that trust is tested. When Jake’s world is turned upside down and his entire identity is put into question, he begins to re-evaluate everything he’s ever known. Can Freya help Jake navigate the turmoil and his new life? Can she help him find himself again? Or will the drama and danger that surrounds them both be too much for their relationship to handle … and survive?

This is the continuation of Jake and Freya’s story and it is not a standalone. I liked this book better than the previous one. Freya feels as if she has the weight of the world on her shoulders thanks to her ex-husband and the unsavory things he was involved in before his passing. Fortunately, Freya has Jake and by extension his family along with their mutual friends and a surprise relative that Freya never knew about until recently. However even with all of the support that she has, can she get over her feelings of going it alone so as not to inflict harm to those she has come to love? Is Freya willing to let Jake in to help her or will she push him away? Ms. Cox has once again written a storyline filled with secrets, lies, and a few twists thrown in for added pleasure. Her characters are spirited and take no prisoners especially when it comes to family. Part two is one seductive tale that will have you enthralled from beginning to end. I look forward to the developing relationship between Freya and her newly found relative along with more from this talented author.
I loved that the story continued and it was Freya’s turn to show as much strength as possible.
I loved their interactions, the twists and turns, the chemistry and the plot. The style was easy to follow and enjoy.
I recommend the duet to any fan of romantic suspense!

This is the conclusion to Freya and Jake’s story. the author once again does a great job building her story and moving it at a steady pace. She fills it with drama,suspense and danger as well as a hot and steamy romance. I loved the characters and story line and would highly recommend this book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
Jake and Freya;s story continues in this second book in the duet and I could not put it down. While the two become closer they are hit with lies and deception by family members, another run in with the Mob, a heart wrenching death and if that was not enough a kidnapping and ransom. Their story was hot, steamy and sexy

What a conclusion! Action packed and exciting – I could not put it down! Just when you think the story about Jake and Freya could not get any better! Another Amazing book by Whitley Cox.

Jake and Freya go through a FREAKIN LOT in this conclusion. The mess Ted left behind affects everyone, and so security is obtained. Meeting all the bodyguards was probably the highlight of this story, well, them, and Jake. I absolutely love Jake. He’s such a great character – sweet, protective and pretty hot, too. I am still not in love with Freya, but she grew on me in this installment.
Of all the different couples of this author’s, this one is probably my favorite. Jake and Freya are perfect together and their story, especially their conclusion, is fast-paced, action-packed, seriously steamy, and the epilogue is downright swoony!
As Freya and Jake fall more in love, I fell more in love with them! As we met Jake’s family, we saw him change to a person we already knew of and discovered even more about this family whose dynamics we both love and hate. We travel to Hawaii to meet more family and fly back to bury the dead, all the while relying on a family of four beautiful, uber manly, bodyguards to keep all those loved by Freya’s first husband safe from the drug cartel he was dealing with! oh! the surprises this book has in store for its readers! And the hints of future books! This author is one of my favs!
This is another great addition by the talented author Whitley Cox.
Each couple has two books (part 1&2) in this series. This is the conclusion portion for Freya and Jake. I fully advise reading part one to get the most out of this book.
I was anxiously waiting to see how Freya and Jake’s relationship would turn out. There was drama that was left open and boy, did it ever carry over to this book. Not only did this couple have to deal with all that was left from the death of Freya’s husband, but they also needed to deal with drama that came from Jake’s family too. This couple sure dealt with a lot in the start of a fresh relationship. I think all their hot, sexy scenes sure helped to keeping them together. Order these two books and get ready for some sexy drama with a HEA.
This is the second part to Jake and Freya’s story and if like me you enjoyed the first part you won’t want to miss this one. I just love the chemistry between these two they are smoking hot and just perfect for each other, this is a super addition to the series with plenty of drama it will have you hooked a super read and another great read from Whitley.
This is the conclusion to Jake and Freya’s love story. So much have happened in this part of the book. Several secrets were revealed. Twists – one you can guess on but the other was unexpected. There’s so much drama. One thing was constant though – the steamy sex scenes with a dash of kink. This is a very good read and the way the author tied it all up in the end was really great! [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]
OMG I loved this book! It was a fresh easy read! I loved the chemistry between the characters. Freya and Jake heat up the book page after. She wraps up the first book quite nicely. This is my second book ive read by Whitley but I’m already hooked on her books and can’t wait for the next one.

This was Part 2 in “The Dark and Damaged Hearts” series and the transition from part 1 to part 2 was seamless and well written and the characters were so well rounded that I felt like I was peeking through a window watching as the story developed between Freya and Jake! I always enjoy reading more from this author!
The conclusion to Hard, Fast and Madly will take you on an adventurous ride, no holds barred. Freya and Jake will need to confront things in their lives head on that will lead to confusion, outrage and at times insecurities. This second part is packed full of action, risk taking, lies, secrets and confrontation. With Whitley Cox you can always be guaranteed that the story will be so hot and steamy that it will leave you panting and breathless. A love story about learning to take risks not only with your heart but life. Jake and Freya’s love develops hard, fast and madly but sometimes it takes letting go of where you thought you were going to embrace where you are heading. Their story at times will fill you with angst, have you gripping the edge of your chair as you take the ride of twists and turns in healing dark and damaged hearts.
Wow – once again a book that lives up to it’s name. Jake and Freya’s story continues in this second book in the duet and I could not put it down. While the two become closer they are hit with lies and deception by family members, another run in with the Mob, a heart wrenching death and if that was not enough a kidnapping and ransom. Jammed packed with a heart stopping storyline and characters that you cannot help but fall in love with this is another great read.
I received an advanced reader copy. I am voluntarily leaving a review. This book is part of the Damaged Hearts series. They are all duets. This is the second book in Freya and Jake’s story. It can be read as a standalone but is much better if you read book one first. Jake and Freya meet on a plane in book 1. He is acting like an ass and she gives him a fake name. Turns out they have mutual friends… Enter book two, Freya is meeting Jake’s difficult family. There is drama. There is intrigue regarding Freya’s recently deceased husband and as always, a lot of steam. Read this book in one sitting the minute I received it. As always a wonderful read by the author with visits from all our other favorite characters of the “Band of Misfits”.
Jake is an ass… Freya’s flight is ruined by him. Jake runs over her, how the hell do you not see another person? Jakes holding a baby, MY OVERIES EXPLODED. It was enemies to lovers In zero to sixty-nine. I absolutely love Jake and Freya, this book has so many twists and turns and omg moments. I can’t wait to read book two. Never to be disappointed by the characters in Whitley’s head, jake and Freya are def a close second to Justin and Kendra for me. Talk about cliffhanger when I turned the page and was done I almost cried. I’m hooked on their love
