Secrets, they always come back to bite…everybodyFreya Lapierre thought she’d lost everything the day her husband died. Then she discovered the mess he left behind. Now she knows he wasn’t the man he pretended to be throughout their marriage, and his friends—her new enemies—are coming for her. Pair that with an ailing father and a move to a brand new city, Freya’s got no time—or patience—for … patience—for love. So when Jake Leeman shows up, smart, sexy, fun and persistent, she shouldn’t take the bait.
But oh, does she want to. Because Jake’s making her feel things she never thought possible again. And she still craves the happily-ever-after she thought she lost forever.
Jake Leeman wants a change. He’s finished college and ready to move to a new city to start fresh. Confident, determined, even ruthless, Jake’s not afraid to take on anything—except flying—so of course he meets the woman of his dreams on a plane. Freya’s cool beauty intrigues him, as does the sense that she’s hiding a dangerous secret. She doesn’t think he can help her—but he can.
And he will. Because Jake has set his heart on Freya, and he’s going to give her the future she deserves.

Another super read from Whitley and a great addition t the series if like me you have read and enjoyed the previous books in the series you won’t want to miss this one. I was pulled right into Jake and Freya’s story and I just loved the chemistry between them. A super read with lots of drama and plenty of mystery I really enjoyed it.
Freya and Jake first encounter is hilarious. Little they know that their meeting in the plane was not the end of it. The author weaved a great romance with a great story plot. While Freya’s life is upended at all sides, Jake is this very supportive lover who showed her how much she is loved and to be cared for. There are a lot of steamy sex scenes so you’ve been warned! Looking forward to reading Part 2! [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]

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
Hard, Fast & Madly is part one in the Dark and Damaged Hearts Series Book 7. I’m so happy Jake for his own story and what a story it is, It will captivate you from the start till the very end.

Throughly enjoyed this book from the start to the very last page, I got so lost in the story I forgot I had to wait to find out what happens till part 2 comes out so will be waiting very impatiently till then. Whitley Cox is fantastic I love all her books so much they just grip you draw you into the story. Well done 5 STARS
Freya and Jake meet on a plane. Not the best meeting. He’s inappropriate and she’s offended but fate has a way to send them together again. Jake is staying with Freya’s best friends. Freya has had some tragedy recently, her husband has been killed in a car crash. Not only that but she finds out she wasn’t the only person in his life. She is having a difficult time adjusting to this new norm. Then to top everything going chaotic in her life, her deceased husband was involved in more things she can’t deal with. Jake is her rock and is next to her the whole time. He’s prefect and she continues to find faults. She may never find them but there is a book two so we will have to wait and see.
I absolutely loved Jake and Freya’s love story. Jake had me nervous at first because if his reputation, but he and Freya have such amazing chemistry that I quickly warmed up to this pair. They soon began making my kindle steam up along with their story and I f2ll in live right along with them. I definitely recommend reading this one. I read this book as an ARC and this is my honest review.
Another steamy installment of the Dark and Damaged Hearts series. Whitley Cox has created a complex world of complicated characters, that’s not only sexy, but full of all the feels.
I’ll be honest, I wasn’t jumping up and down when I figured out Jake was the focus of Hard, Fast and Madly. I mean he was a train wreck when we met him in Justin and Kendra’s duet. Then he had a cameo at the holiday party sneaking off with to find a room. I was shocked at what Jake was hiding. He wasn’t anything like I was expecting him to be. I love that Cox was able to able to surprise me like that, but I really shouldn’t be.
What I love most about Cox’s world is that it’s messy. As the name implies, her characters are damaged and imperfect, but that’s what makes them so beautiful. I also love all the cameos. Seeing glimpses of the characters we’ve met throughout this series, and some of her others, is a special treat. It doesn’t distract from the story if you haven’t read them, but you can’t help but smile if you recognize them when they appear.
I can’t wait for the conclusion of Jake and Freya’s story. Somehow I think Cox still has a couple of surprises in store for us!
I loved this book and I am very excited for the next book in this series. I loved that past characters were in the story and we got to read what they are doing. I loved the story line for this book and the growth that the heroine has done after the death of her husband and all the drama that came with his death. I loved the detailed sexy scenes. If you don’t like a lot of sexy scenes in your books, then this book is not for you because Whitley Cox definitely knows how to write awesome sexy scences! I am patiently waiting for the next part of this story because I really want to know if everyone is safe and that our heroine can put her past marriage in the past and move on to a happy life with her new boyfriend. I really enjoyed this book and I hope you will too.
Hard, Fast and Madly is not only the title but describes exactly how you will love Freya and Jake. This first part in their story will grip you hard, the connection you will have to these characters will happen fast and you will utterly and madly fall in love with them. Jake and Freya will have you captivated with a story that is action packed as secrets are exposed, lives are thrown into chaos and a love like neither of them have ever known, comes hurtling at them full force. As usual Whitley Cox brings the naughty because who wants nice. Bring on part 2, hard fast and madly because these two have got a hold on me and won’t let go.
What an awesome story! It keeps you captivated throughout the whole book. This story is about two people meeting by chanve a couple times and finding a connection with each other. A great love story. They face adventure together. I can not wait for the next book to come out!
