This cover & blurb! WOW — just added to my MUST READ list!! This one looks fantastic!
This sees just keeps getting better and better. I don’t know what it is but I’m so hooked. The way that you describe each person and what they think and feel makes it like we are them but looking on the outside if that makes sense. We view them as a whole other person. They teach us new things each time. In this one we meet Roan and Kimberly to very unlikely people who match to a tee. They have some powerful chemistry that goes BAM. Such a fantastic read and I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader’s Copy
Harder Than Steel by Jacey Ward
This is a great story I like the way the characters play off each other Roan is on a mission trying to find out information about a government building when he runs into Kimberly. They are both looking for the same thing but do not realize it. This story is full of surprises. It is a page-turner and hard to put down. I recommend this book. This is my honest opinion.

This is the 2nd book in the Harder Series and it continues with the Conway family. They are people who were genetically altered several generations ago as experiments by a group called Occulus who were once thought to be funded by the government but now have gone rogue. Occulus is searching for them and the Altered are trying to secretly find and shut them down. The Conways have a safe hidden compound they are currently living in.
Roan is a cousin to Audrey who we met in Harder than Stone. He has traveled into the forests of Washington on a lead from his cousin to a warehouse that might be linked to Occulus. There he stumbles upon Kimberly, also breaking into the warehouse. After barely escaping by the skin of their teeth, they are stuck hiding out together.
Why was Kimberly there? Is she Occulus or Altered like Roan? How can she understand his thoughts? Does she have special powers like he does? Why are they so “in tune” and attracted to each other? But Kimberly makes some bad judgement calls and puts both of their lives in danger more than once!!
This was a short but action packed story that still leaves us wondering about Occulus and what their end game is. I look forward to reading more about this sci-fi adventure from this amazing duo Chloe Fischer and Jacey Ward.
Roan Conway is on the trail of new information about Oculus. Kimberly Semple is determined to find out what Oculus has to do with her mother’s disappearance. When their paths cross, Roan has to think fast to safe them both. They are drawn together but can they trust each other and what if it was Oculus’s plan all along to bring them together?
The plot just keeps getting deeper and more intriguing. As Roan’s and Kimberly’s feelings grow, the danger from Oculus grows closer. 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 Roan and Kimberly’s link to each other, it also brings more questions about Oculus and just how deep their connections are. It will definitely leave you wanting more, that’s for sure.
Phenomenal, action-packed, and STEAMY! This Sci-fi romance should be your next MUST-READ!
OMG – “HARDER THAN STEEL” by Chloe Fischer and Jacey Ward is amazeballs, and I think this “generation two” series of stories may kill my heart! Full of suspense, intrigue and STEAMY lovin’, “HARDER THAN STEEL” is magnificently well-written, has all the feels and tension of a suspense-filled paranormal romance and two characters worthy of their happily ever after. No shifting in this one, but sci-fi nerds will love the special powers that Roan and Kimberly have to use to stay out of the clutches of Oculus. If you like your romances exciting and action packed, then this HARDER SERIES by the prolific writing team of Chloe Fischer and Jacey Ward should be your next purchase! There is so much more I would love to say, but don’t want to spoil any of the fun. I laughed, cried, and bellowed in frustration while reading this novella which I could not put down until I’d read the very last word! I voluntarily read an advanced copy and this is my honest, voluntary review. As a practice, I do not give more than 4 stars to a novella, but “HARDER THAN STEEL” is just too good to limit. So, that extra ½ star has to be added. It’s a short, thrilling roller-coaster ride through the lives and love of two Amazing characters. I STRONGLY suggest you purchase your copy of “HARDER THAN STEEL” today. It is the perfect cure for spring showers! Happy pages!
This book was given to me by booksprout. I am leaving this review freely. I loved this book. Living a life of lies and only one place to find the truth. The truth is a corrupt government business. Great story, make sure you read this and the whole series. I am going to go find the rest of the series. Hope you join me.
This series gets better with each new book. It’s great when characters for the previous stories appear Harder than Stone and Harder than Steel. You don’t have to read the books in order but it helps when you try to figure out who is who and when they appeared in the other books. Shay and Cory met when they were younger. It seems that Cory and Shay both have special gifts and when they met they both felt it from the other. Shay was camping when she met Cory who was living in a compound. Things just clicked with these two and now 20 years later Shay shows up on Cory’s doorstep bleeding and scared. She keeps her secret but they are both trying to find out how they got their superpowers. Great read.

First let me state that I received an Advance Reader Copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review.
Wow!! This is the first book in this series that I’ve read and it’s really good. I’ve never been into psychic stories, but I think this one has got me hooked. It reminds me a bit about “The Gifted”, and I am a faithful watched of that tv series. I can’t wait to read more on this series. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up

An intense dramatic, action filled storyline with exciting characters that come together excellently. The characters pulled you right into their story as it folds from the turn of every page.

I really enjoyed reading Hard than Steel! The book is absolutely amazing!
Two people, going after the Oculus, each with their own reason on why the want to take it down. Roan comes across Kimberly when he breaks into a warehouse own by the Oculus and rescues her. What a great story line this book has. Both has reason of their own, a mystery that each other wants to know. But can they trust each other enough to do what must be done? What a great adventure! It definitely hit the spot where there’s plenty of action, intrigue and mystery! I love this short read and I couldn’t put it down, not like I wanted to! A definite must read!

The Conways are still searching for answers about Occulus. Roan is a strong character and works closely with his cousin to follow up on leads. That’s how he meets Kimberly. Neither one is trusting and even though there is an intense (and unwanted) attraction. Kimberly is positive Roan wants to kill her, so she poisons him. He actually forgives her. I don’t think I could do that. Kim jumps to conclusions a lot, but she is still strong and adapting pretty well. I love he confrontation between her and Roan’s mom. Now, maybe some misunderstandings will be worked out. The more we learn the more questions there are. I requested an advanced reader copy from Booksprout and am under no obligation to leave this review.
Really good story.
by Tracy T
This was a really good story. It is about Roan and Kimberly both trying to find out what Ocultus is up to. Both for there own reasons. Really interesting story that keeps you reading to see what happens next.

The plot thickens. This story really hums with suspense and danger, but more with unanswered questions. You can feel the vulnerability in Kimberly, but she gives as good as she gets. I really look forward to the next book.
