A man walks into a coffee shop and gets offered a job in p0rn.Sounds like the start of a joke, right?Or every man’s fantasy.Until I remember I’m trying to be a good man.A single father.One who doesn’t do casual relationships,Let alone get paid for sex.But for those curves and that mouth?Any man might change his mind. ~*~It was an honest mistake . . . I’m new to the “adult entertainment” business.… was an honest mistake . . .
I’m new to the “adult entertainment” business.
So when I’m sent to interview for our next production,
I assume the hottie with the coffee is him.
Lord knows he’s hot enough to take a starring role.
Especially in my fantasies.
And with that accent,
The aural he gives must be ahh-mazing.
I thought a hard man might be fun for the night.
But a good man? He might be everything.

Hard is steamy, sweet and funny.
Paisley is an American in London, working for her friend’s female-oriented porn company when she encounters hot Scot, Keir, when she interviews him for her company. As in, she waves him over to her table at the coffee shop and proceeds to tell him about the uh, adult film role she thinks he’s there to interview for. A few minutes later, with his coffee all over her face, spit out when she offers him the role, and they both chalk it up to an embarrassing (but hot) encounter, and they go their separate ways. Until the next day when they’re both attending a wedding and she hits him up for a fun romp that will get her mind off the fact that her sleazy, wimpy ex is there with the woman he cheated on her with. Alas, Keir is voluntarily celibate, thanks to his single, hard-working dad status, with a disgusting ex-wife, so poor Paisley just can’t catch a break. But when Keir comes to her rescue after Paisley’s disgusting ex decides to assault her, all bets are off once they get back to her hotel room. Sounds like the setup of a good bit of fun, and it is, because Hard is fun, lots of fun. And seriously sexy. And flirty. And sweet. And just about perfect. I can’t remember the last time I had more delicious fun reading something.
If you like your Scots hot (and kilt-wearing, too), paired with fun, feisty Americans, 1-click Hard today!
Hard is yet another fun and highly entertaining read from Donna Alam that I highly recommend. Keir is a Scottish single dad with a drop dead sexy accent. He has sworn off women after the disaster that was his previous relationship. He lives a simple life, spending his time working and taking care of his sassy and adorable daughter. Paisley is an American living in London. She is also getting over a bad relationship and a crappy ex. She is working for her friend’s porn company behind the camera. She’s supposed to be interviewing an actor for a role, but a case of mistaken identity leads to a hot and steamy hook up. Neither Keir or Paisley want anything complicated of long lasting. Keir isn’t one casual, but the more time he spends with Paisley the more possessive he feels and soon all her can imagine is strings tying them together. As exes re-enter the picture and drama starts developing, are Keir and Paisley willing to take one more chance on a relationship or will they forget their passion and feelings and walk away?
Sitting down to read a book by Donna Alam is like sitting down to a huge bowl of the best chocolate ice cream (insert your own evil temptation here) and HARD is no exception; its wickedly self indulgent, every taste is as good as the last, you can’t put it down until its absolutely finished and at the end you’re left blissfully sated!
This book like all of Donna’s Scot’s flavoured varieties is my absolute favourite kind of indulgence, especially when we get a better look at the deliciously dirty mouthed single daddy Keir, whom we’ve previously just had a sample of in her latest books.
This gorgeous hunk of currently celibate Scot, is sworn off relationships after a bitter separation with his ex which left him, willingly, as sole parent to his cute and feisty daughter Sorcha.
When recently single American girl, Paisley accidentally interviews Keir for a part in a porn film, the chemistry is obvious and when another encounter brings them together again neither can resist the opportunity to indulge in each other in some apparent no-strings hot as hell between the sheets fun!
But this secretly kinky, protective and possessive alpha male is fighting a losing battle keeping the strings untangled, and as things hot up, exes interfere and mates get wind of events, the stage is set for this Hot Scot to step up and decide if there is room in his life for more than one little lady!
Throw in a tasty helping of wicked humour that will have you blushing hard and laughing out loud, swoon worthy daddy-daughter moments bound to explode your ovaries and a fabulous cast of supporting characters that never fail to entertain, and this literary treat is a five star delight guaranteed to satisfy all appetites!!
Donna has done it again with this new one. Absolutely fantastic. Paisley is freaking hilarious and had me laughing til the end. Donna has a way to bring humor and sexy men together and this is one of the results of how great that combination is. Great read. New favorite of mine from Donna.
LOOKING FOR YOUR NEXT GREAT READ???
Wow! What can I say? Donna knocked another one over the fense. If your looking for excitement, humor, adventure, smooth flowing and lets not forget steamy, then congratulations my friends you’ve found it. Donna has a way of drawing you in and holding your attention from the start. With her vivid imagination and an eye for detail makes her characters come alive right before our eyes. I was fascinated following the characters as their personalities transform and blended beautifully. The scenes realistic with fantastic graphic descriptions that’s just as a amazing. Excellent job Donna and thank you for sharing such an incredible tale with us.
Hard starts out funny and sweet and soon ramps up the heat taking it up a notch to scorching. This book was pure fun to read! Witty characters with excellent humor, a romance with delicious steam, and moments of adorable sweetness all round out into a story that grabs you and doesn’t let you go. I didn’t put it down once from the moment I started reading.
An American girl living in London trying to move on from a horrible ex, Paisley is is both funny and adorable. Working for her friend’s adult entertainment business she accidentally interviews the wrong man for a job. The sparks are immediate between her and Keir, even during their hilarious accidental meeting and they continue to grow into serious heat as they run into each other again.
Keir is both serious and deliciously sexy. A single father he hasn’t even so much as dated after a disastrous marriage and divorce. Spending his time utterly devoted to his daughter he’s not looking for a relationship. Lucky for him neither was Paisley. But as things begin to heat to inferno levels between them we see those feelings starting to change. I had a blast reading these two and can’t wait to read more from Donna Alam!
** spoiler alert ** Ever since his disaster of a marriage, Keir has avoided women. Paisley is struggling after a recent break up. They agree no strings. Will Keir realize what he has before it is to late? Will Paisley get a Happy Ever After?
I loved getting Keir’s story after reading about him previously. I loved how Paisley kept trying and didn’t allow what happened to her ex to completely ruin her. I didn’t blame Keir for being hesitant after what happened in his past, but loved to see him fall in love again. Great read!
Okay so why on earth have I not read this author before!!!! This was a delicious, hilarious and thoroughly enjoyable read.
HAF Scottish single dad who wears a kilt – yes you heard me right – a kilt & let me tell you he’s a true Scotsman meets sweet and funny American girl.
SERIOUSLY hot sexy times, plenty of LOL moments & just the right amount of swoon follows. Add in fantastic supporting characters, witty dialogue and Agnes – who I want for my own grandma & this is one hell of a read.
I went on a one clicking spree and plan on reading lots more from this author.
A first time read from Ms Alam & I will back for more. Just a great read down to earth romance with hotness & a wonderful happy ever after. Didn’t know the porn industry could be so funny.
While trying to explain this book to a friend today, I suggested it’s a little like crossing FSoG with ‘Fawlty Towers’. I then went on to explain: the time spent interacting with the families and friends bears a striking resemblance to the slapstick, yet still quintessentially witty British, antics of the denizens of Fawlty Towers. While the time Keir and Paisley spend focused on one another has a scorch factor that’s more in keeping with FSoG and its cousins. I swear, at some point it’s going to be a Donna Alam book that melts my reader, because these naughty Scots know how to bring the heat. Yet, while being so devastatingly alpha, they also tend to be generous and loving. (See again ‘time spent with friends and family’ above.) The one thing I would have desperately loved more of in this book, would have been to know more about the aftermath of everything that brought Keir and Paisley together, but we might see that in the next book.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book.
I loved this book! Keir and Paisley’s story was so good. It was sweet and sexy and funny and soooo good! I loved the storyline. The characters were very engaging. I loved the side characters and I can’t wait to read more about them. Keir’s daughter added humor to the story that had me laughing so hard. And the heat in this book was off the charts! I would definitely recommend this book to everyone!
There’s something about these strong, filthy talking Scottish men and their witty banter that I absolutely adore. I love Ms Alam’s story of the American Paisley, makeup artist for a woman-centred porn company and Keir, wealthy single dad. Paisley has been badly burned by her now ex-fiancé, and Keir has an nasty ex-wife who makes the occasional appearance. Given their histories, neither one is anxious for a relationship. It’s a sexy, fun journey for these two, and Keir melted my heart (so did his very precocious daughter). Return visits from your favourite Scots, and great secondary characters. Really enjoyed this fun read.
I received an ARC of this book and have voluntarily reviewed it.
Another sexy Scot bowled over by an American beauty, despite his best intentions!

4.5 stars
Donna Alam has once again penned a sizzling romance, with humor and almost non-stop heat, centered on another sexy Scot! I loved the comedy of errors that brought American singleton Paisley and divorced daddy Keir together. Paisley is trying to get a new start after a bad break-up with her cheating fiance. Keir intends to focus on his daughter Sorcha and avoid romantic entanglements. But things don’t always go as planned . . .
Although I preferred the previous book (Easy, which chronicles the romance of Sadie and Will, one of Keir’s best friends who makes repeated appearances in this story), this is a smart and sexy romp that should please fans of Alam’s other books. It’s fine as a standalone, though it might whet your appetite for her other Scot romances if you are new to her writing. Alam has included a solid cast of secondary characters. I particularly liked Chastity, Paisley’s roommate and boss, Chastity’s irrepressible brother Max, Keir’s precocious daughter Sorcha and his band of Scottish brothers. The bedroom scenes are quite spicy and involve some light BDSM-tinged play, but nothing too hard core.
I read a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest review.
Kier meets his match!!
I love Donna’s books!! And these men are delicious! Kier being no exception to the deliciousness! I’d watch a porn with him in it any day. 😉 He and Paisley take a wedding hook-up from one hot night to regular weekly to HEA. Along the way there’s some ex drama, an adorable daughter, and those mouthy men we all love. I adore this bookiverse. And the hotness, laughs, and sweetness it provides too!
Gave Alam another try and stand by my review of Easy… steamy parts are excellent!! Fairly well written…but stories are a bit anti climatic in the conflict parts…in this one, was he stalking her? What did his ex say to the press? Only parted for one day.? The potential for an excellent story is right there, the characters interesting, world building almost there but flow…not so much!
Hard by Donna Alam the easiest five-star read of the year. Once again greatness has been brought, Keir McLain a London Property magnate with the ability to give aural in an accent that would make a nun blush. He has always been the single daddy who needs to run off as he made his daughter his priority and that made him one of my favourites. Agnes is like a mum to Kier and she reminded me of someone we had come across before and I wished she was my almost granny. But the character I wish I was more like would be Paisley as even though life has knocked her she has picked herself up with a little help from her friend Chastity. Paisley is always well turned out and managed to get her life back together and even though she may work in porn, behind the camera not in front (but I would so love to see it the other way), but it’s the way she puts her feet in her mouth that makes me love her character most.
Donna Alam always writes hot and sexy well, she is by and large one of my favourite people to put pen to paper and create people you wouldn’t kick out of bed for eating crackers, people you would sleep in the damp patch for. Please keep up the good work and get back to writing!!
