ShayI can’t trust him! There’s something almost pre-destined about the way Coy and I keep getting thrown into each other’s lives. And I don’t believe in destiny.But damn, every time I stare into his dark eyes, I want to spill all of my secrets. Nothing good can come of this attraction – and I’m starting to think that he has more secrets than I do… do…
Coy
She showed up outside the compound I grew up in when we were kids, then almost 20 years later she showed up on my doorstep in the middle of the night, bleeding and scared, but unwilling to tell me what the hell was going on.
How am I supposed to keep her safe if she doesn’t trust me?
She’s haunted my dreams ever since we were separated as kids. And now… now I can’t get her out of my mind. Her scent drives me crazy, and every time we touch, it’s like a burst of power passes between us.
Just when I feel like I’m finally getting close to the organization that gave my family their superpowers, she shows up – again. And I’m so damn torn.
I can’t afford to get distracted by a woman.
And I’m starting to think that she’s involved with Oculus too.
But is she part of their evil plot, or is she a pawn?
After training for combat since he was a toddler, Coy also became one of the world’s best computer hackers, and yeah, he has an extra ‘talent’ or two.
But it turns out, so does Shay…
This book is a stand-alone that’s part of the ‘HARDER’ series by Jacey Ward and Chloe Fischer.
Don’t forget to check out the ‘HARD’ series, where four psychically enhanced brothers are challenged to protect the women they love, while fighting the organization that’s still trying to tear them apart.

Wonderful read. Recommended to friends and family.
Another amazing book in the Harder Series. This one is mostly about Coyle (Coy) and Cheryl (Shay). The way they meet as kids and, even better, the way that they find each other as adults. It does bring the rest of the family into the story as well. Coy and Shay finally get back together only for them to almost get torn apart again. Can’t wait to see what is coming next. The third generation better get ready because they will soon have a fourth and maybe a fight.
Coy meets this little girl when he is a kid himself and they connect in a way. He runs away from his family compound to meet up with her in the woods. Then one day they just left with an explanation however Shay showed up even though they had moved. They exchanged emails and talked that way for awhile but lost contact as adults. Coy is now separate from his family so he can work to help bring Oculus down and make them all safe. What he didn’t count on was for a woman to show up at his place confused about where she was. The shocker of it all was she was his Shay all grown up and their connection is even stronger. Now that he has found his mate like his siblings he knows there’s going to be trouble but they never expected the threat to be who is ends up being. Can Shay and Coy find a way to be together? Will they finally end the threat to their family?
This is an amazing story and series. Once I started reading this I couldn’t put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

I can’t get enough of this family! It’s no coincidence that Shay and Coy keep meeting…..
There is a great twist in this book that I don’t want to give away so you just have to read it to see but it is sooo worth it. I removed this book and the previous ones!

*New to me author
So this book is a little hard for me to review. I have to say yes I did like this story, BUT I did not know when I started reading this book that this book is part of a series so I, of course, felt like I was missing a lot. Not between Shay and Coy as we did get their back story, but I missed the big story. I felted a little lost at times, but that is nobodies fault but my own.
The story is good. Shay and Coy have great chemistry, and I will be going back to read the other stories so that I can know what is going on entirely with this book.
This book was exceptional and kept me entertained the whole time, Coy and Shay are amazing together I am so waiting for the next one

Yet another entertaining part of the Conway family for us to get to know.
Coy has been by himself, outside the family since being an adult. Officiellt he’s been working on everything but finding Oculus. Inofficially he’s been working with his cousins all the time.
Shay is a new person in this plot and isn’t aware if everything about other people with extra abilities.
Coy and Shay meet when they are 12 years. As adults they meet again… Love and connections are a wonderful thing.
Harder Than Diamond by Jacey Ward is an awesome story that I have read and fell in love with . This is an awesome story that I highly recommend to everyone who loves reading about paranormal romances in their stories.

I loved this story. We heard about Coy in previous books, now we find out all about him. Shay is girl Coy met in the woods around his family compound when they were 12. Secrets on both sides cut that budding romance short. Fast forward a decade and they are thrown back together. Only this time they will fight together to save his family and try to learn why they have the powers they do and what Occulus wants them for. I was a bit iffy about Shay at first until she met back up with Coy. Her sheer determination and strength to help Coy save his famiy won me over. The characters are all strong in character and abilities. I am excited about the next book, too. I requested an advanced reader copy from Booksprout and am under no obligation to leave this review.
Harder than Diamond is another fantastic book in the Harder series!
I really enjoyed reading this book. I was drawn in from the get go! This book definitely hit the spot for my Paranormal romance fix! Written with their typical flare! Full of action, passion and thrills! This book will draw you in from the get go. The chemistry between Coy and Shay is hot! The steamy scenes will make you take a cold shower. I can’t wait to see what else Chloe and Jacey brings!

This third book in the series is a continuation of the first two with no conclusion to the conflict. It took me awhile to like Coy but Shay was an okay character. It seemed a little disjointed to me with all kinds of things happening in rapid succession without any resolution or explanation. If you are into reading this series I don’t want to discourage you but I did not find this a satisfying read.

This is Coy’s story. The seventh in the Hard series. I love the special abilities and family bond of these books. Although they can be read as stand-alone I like reading them in order.
Coy and Shay meet as children and their connection lingers with both of them for years. In a surprising twist, they are reunited when danger brings them back together. More devious plot twists. Fun, sexy read! Can’t wait for the next installment in the Conway family saga.

Coyle Conway has distanced himself from his family as he works in the background to undermine Oculus. Shay Collingwood, a childhood friend, turns up unexpectedly on Coy’s doorstep just when his family is in dire trouble. As Coy and Shay realize they have a deeper connection and are beginning to rebuild their trust in each other, Coy may be faced with a dilemma, to sacrifice his family’s safety for Shay’s.
The plot continues to get deeper and more intriguing. As Coy and Shay are rediscovering their feelings for each other, the danger from Oculus comes from an unexpected source. This is a very quick, easy read with fast-paced action, suspense and steamy passion. The storyline is engaging and entertaining. Although the story focuses on Coy and Shay’s link to each other, it continues to bring more questions about Oculus and how deep their connections are. This will definitely leave you wanting more, and anxious for the next and final episode!
Excellent romance partly paranormal.
A little paranormal in this world where the heroes are fleeing or protecting themselves from the Oculus, a secret organization already approached in the “Hard” series. I really liked this part: we follow the same family as in the “Hard”, but the third generation. The family has more informations about what the oculus is and how it works and we discover it by the special relationship between Coyle and Shay. Coyle met Shay when he was twelve, but to protect his family and because something was wrong with her questions, he did not invite her home. But something strange happened when they kissed and this sensation remained. Dozens of years later, one evening, after an appointment, a new connection is made and Shay finds herself in front of Coyle’s home, during a sleepwalking crisis. But if Shay knows nothing of the world in which she evolves, Coyle doubts because the coincidences are not part of his beliefs.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Solid follow-up to Harder than Steel and I’m adding Harder than Stone to my TBR list. Guess that’s a little backwards.. However, Coy and Shay are interesting, well developed characters and their story spans years. The danger from Oculus is still an intregial part of this story. This book, as was Harder than Steel, ia fast paced, well written, and page turner form beginning to end. Cant wait for book 4, Hardest of Them All!!

A heart first romance within a THRILLING action adventure, this is a MUST-READ!!
The pages of “HARDER THAN DIAMOND” are in flames as I read, turning pages with a compulsive speed, faster than ever before. This Harder Series by the phenomenal writing team of Fischer and Ward is an amazing read. The story starts with tensions high and they grow from there! While “HARDER THAN DIAMOND” is first and foremost a ROMANCE, it is also part of an EPIC Sci-fi, paranormal series by one of my favorite writing teams. Written with their usual flare and attention to detail, Ward and Fischer tell the continuing saga of the Conway family and how for three generations they have been hiding from Oculus, a once governmental project, that now acts as a rogue entity determined to capture and use any or all of the super human powers which have manifested in the various member of the Conway family. The romance is swoon-worthy and STEAMY, the writing and characterization are outstanding, but it is the story that keeps me coming back for more! This one is a MUST-READ/MUST-BUY for any who like a THRILLING story around a heart rending and repair love story. I STRONGLY suggest that you purchase your copy of “HARDER THAN DIAMOND” today! Happy pages!
Wow! I wasn’t expecting that! Once I started, I couldn’t put the book down. This is literally the best book yet in the series!
Coy and Shay are down right intriguing, sexy and a real powerhouse couple. I. Can’t. Get. Enough! I can’t wait for the next book! This series is so freaking awesome! With it’s fascinating world building, intense yet sexy storyline and characters that just keep you coming back for more!!!!
