I’ve loved once. I gave everything that I had to that love. Blindly believing that nothing could ever take that feeling away from me. Away from us. And when my little world of happiness was ripped from my fingers, I felt a loss that still haunts me to this day. Now I use that lingering grief as a shield to keep my heart from loving again. It’s that fear that keeps me from letting anyone, except … letting anyone, except my daughter, get close enough to make it hurt. To make my heart bleed when I inevitably lose again.
Until the day I met Liam Beckett and everything I thought I had protected myself from was shoved back in my face.
He’s on a mission to prove to me that a love worth having is a love worth fighting for.
Bleeding Love is the second book in the Hope Town series. Each book in the series is a HEA and can be read as a standalone.

10 stars…bring your Kleenex
I was up at midnight finishing another book when this appeared on my Kindle. How I resisted starting this immediately, I do not know. As soon as I woke up….didn’t get out of the bed until I finished.
IT IS AMAZING!!!! I cried not once but twice. Liam is so SMOKING HOT!! And if you’ve read any of Corps Security books you know that this boy knows how to use it. Megan had herself so wall-ed up to not get hurt. Liam, and their friends and family, never gave up on her. I would so love to see her daughter Molly’s tea parties and makeupovers she did with Axel, and Nate, and Liam. I mean Axel with lipstick….just the picture. Can’t wait to see who’s going to fall next. I hope Nate.
Megan has had a terrible life. She is a single mother who we met in Unexpected Fate. Her husband was killed overseas. He was her best friend growing up with her crappy parents and she misses him dearly. She meets Liam (Lee) through Cohen and Dani (Unexpected Fate). From the time he sees her Lee knows she is the one, but he also knows that she has shut herself down from caring for anyone but her daughter. They are often in the same social situations and he watches her only speaking to her now and then so he doesn’t push her away, until he can see she is in a little better place and then he makes his move. Lee won’t let up until she is living again. He was very sweet and never really waivered in his feelings for her and he loved her daughter just as much. I would recommend you read Corps Security: The Series first, especially Beck (Liam’s parents story). It can be a stand alone but it’s nice to have the background on their parents in my opinion.
Weeeeee, I loved it!! I want to wrap Liam in a big gigantic hug!!
Oh Leelee *sigh* you’re amazing. Love the dirty talk btw!
This book had it all for me. Great characters, story line, feels and yummyness. I loved that Liam just knew, with out any doubt, that Megan was the one. He was patience, kind, loving and considerate of her feelings. Great scenes with Molly, so cute! Ahhhh I just love this series!! I can’t wait for Nate’s book, he’s my second fav, Liam being the first. Read this book people, soooo good!!
Sweet Jesus Liam you’d tempt the devil, “do you want to play games, darlin’?” he asks, sidestepping the cart and pulling my hands from the handle. “I think you would love the kind of games I have in mind.” Where Megan is concerned Liam’s body has a mind of its own, “keep looking at me like and we’re going to have issues,” his voice grumbles. I lick my lips and all his laughter stops. But my eyes never leave his crotch. Jesus, is he getting harder? “Megan,” he warns.” I love seeing all the kids grown up and finding their own loves, I’m glad we could continue seeing the other men in this series from time to time.
WOW!!!! I really wish I could give more than 5 stars because I would gladly give this book 10.
I am a HUGE fan of Harper Sloan, I have loved all her books & Greg Cage has been my go to BBF from the moment I met him. Sure, every now & then someone would replace him for a short time & Cohen came REAL close to replacing him permanently but I always go back to Cage, THE BEAST!!!! But I truly think that he has been replaced for good this time. Liam Beckett is the ultimate Alpha male. OMG, Harper Sloan, you write the best Alpha males EVER!!!!
Liam (Lee) Beckett is the son of Dee & Beck, of Corp Security fame. He has been watching Megan from the time Cohen brought her into their group. Watching & waiting for her to start living again. After two years the waiting is over! He has seen the tiny signs that she may just be ready to join the world again & he makes his move. But did he go too far, too fast? Or will he be able to convince Megan that the time has come for her to let go of the past.
Megan has been a reluctant member of the group for quite a while now. Little by little she has made friends but she still holds so much of herself back. She knows what loss feels like & she is determined to protect herself & her daughter from ever losing anyone else. Even if it means never really feeling things again. But when Lee starts his campaign to make her “feel” she realizes just how much she has been holding Molly back & that is when the REAL breakthrough begins.
This story made me laugh so many times but I swear the last quarter of the book I cried so many tears, both happy & sad. Bleeding Love CAN be read as a standalone but I HIGHLY suggest it be read after Unexpected Fate. Furthermore, I suggest the Corp Security series be read first!!!
Hold onto your panties ladies, Beck’s baby boy is all grown up and in full on Alpha beast mode going after the woman he wants.
Not that we expected any less from the Corps boys offspring or the amazing Harper Sloan.
Bleeding Love is book 2 of the Hope Town series, book one is not required but I strongly suggest reading it.
Megan’s story is heart breaking, she’s a single mom and steers clear of any kind of romantic entanglements. She’s learned her lesson the hard way and simply wants to be happy raising her daughter.
After Dani’s wedding and her hookup with Liam she pushes him away, opening her heart up again is not something she ever intends to do not even for him.
Lucky for us Liam knows what he wants and doesn’t give up!
“If I didn’t know with all that I f*#king am that you’re worth the trouble, I would leave and never look back.”
Yea, I cringed at that one. Wanted to slap Megan a time or two as Liam walked away for hurting him but at the same time I could understand her reasoning.
Liam’s in for a fight, Megan won’t drop her panties on command for him but that’s okay because he knows she’s worth fighting for and he will not give up until he has her and her daughter in his life.
Liam’s patience wowed me, yes he has that hard head and a bit of a temper but he’s so kind and loving and genuine and sexy and… you get the picture, Liam is perfection.
Love, love, floved this book. Dani & Cohen’s story was great but Liam’s rocked my world. I’m not sure how any of the others will ever compete with him, his loyalty and fight for what he wants are going to be hard to top.
