This is the story of Kimberly and Roan, the 2nd generation of the Conway family series. If you love Sci-fi you will love this series. I loved how the authors took you on the adventure with Roan and Kimberly. The book is a roller-coaster of emotions. You cannot put it down until you finish it. It is very well written and the chemistry between Roan and Kimberly is amazing. I love the dynamic between them. I definitely recommend this book and the series.

Action-packed
This is the second book of the Oculus series, and I wished I had read the first one preceding this. This is a short one, but filled with suspense, action and enough romance – it’s sure won’t get you bored. Great world-building by the author. Character development is at par. I couldn’t put the book down. This is the new sci-fi series that I will be rooting on. And I will surely read the first book to even fully understand the whole scenario.

Oculus continues with it’s deception and genetic engineering. Kimberly and Roan meet by accident, and then find out they are both byproducts of Oculus. The story is interesting and characters are portrayed well. Although there are previous books in this Oculus series, this can still be read as a stand-alone. Good read!

Emotionally thrilling, sexy, witty and action packed adventure filled with dangerous secrets, intrigue, heart pounding twists and undeniable passion….. this journey is an edge of your seat, page turning thrill ride. A highly entertaining read from beginning to end.
Very interesting storyline. Roan and Kimberly are likeable characters, easily relatable except for one aspect that makes them and the storyline different. The characters still need development but seeing how the story ended, there will be more so hopefully we will get to learn more about them. For the most part, I really enjoyed this short story and hope to see more of these characters.
I really enjoyed reading this book. This book is a great story with great characters you will love. This book kept my attention. It is a great read.

Jacey Ward and Chloe Fischer have created another fast paced story with an unusual storyline in this “Harder” series. I was kept fully engaged through the last page and left wanting more.
Oculus is an organization responsible for experimenting on humans in an effort to create people with astounding abilities. They are not nice!
Kimberly wad was raised in the foster care system and now her life is dedicated to find out what happened to her mother. She finds out about a secured warehouse that may contain the information she needs.
Rowan received information about a remote warehouse that might be owned by Oculus. When he enters the warehouse he finds someone else there before him. Is it Oculus or a thief?
There was a sufficient amount of steam in this book to fall into the category of “steamy”, but not HEA level.
As there could be “body” to the story, I’m giving four stars. Otherwise a very good novella.

Roan’s story starts off with us seeing him as a kid and what he could do, to jumping right into the thick of things as an adult. And in the midst of all that, he runs into someone who has her own kind of “talent”. The story is quite exciting and leaves you wanting more of this family and what’s going to happen next!!
Let me say that for me this book took a bit to find traction but once it did the story flew.
Fast paced mystery , intriguing characters that seem dark, and a building romance if Roan and Kimberly can learn to trust.

Harder Than Steel is part of a series about genetically engineered humans. This book is about Roan and Kimberley, two people who are seeking answers. Roan desires to find information on an entity named Oculus, and Kimberley is trying to track down her mother who disappeared when she was four years old. While the author has done well in making Harder Than Steel a stand-alone read, there are places in the book that refer to other events pertinent to this plot. Also, as this is part of a series, it does end in a cliffhanger. For those reasons I rate it as 4 stars instead of 5.
What can I say but WOW! Government conspires having to do with human experimentation, fated matches and more!
Roan Conway and the powers he possesses are amazing, then you throw in Kimberly and what she can do!
It is like reading about the X-Men, only with more mystery and passion! I absolutely could not put this book down! I really hope there is more to come about Oculus and the Conway family.

I was taken by Roan immediately and I liked the premise of the book. A nice way to spend an evening reading.

I am not normally a fan of this type book but (you knew this was coming) I was pleasantly surprised with this story. It is really good and well done and thoroughly entertaining. Read and enjoy!

Okay, I didn’t read the first book in this series, but definitely going to get it. Nice Sci-fi touches with the powers the two main characters wield, but handled well so it was believable. There were a lot of twists and turns and at some points I felt that I had missed a few things, but it eventually filled in. I think if I had read the first book in this series it would have helped. I don’t give spoilers, but if you like Romantic Suspense this is right in your wheelhouse.

This was a very good read. The characters were well written and I enjoyed them immensely. The book itself started off slow, but quickly picked up the pace.
I enjoyed it immensely, but the ending wasn’t what I expected and was a little disappointed. I am not going to reveal that to you because I am not a spoiler. 🙂

This is an amazing start to the series! What a crazy, page turning story. I loved the characters and the storyline. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
I was gifted an ARC in return of an honest review.
This book is about Roan and Kimberly. The second-generation out to get Oculus. Roan has the ability to disappear while Kimberly’s blood is lethal that once exposed to oxygen anyone in contact can die immediately. They are both tip off to some warehouse but they do not know each other until that day and Roan saves her only to have to then chase her down for stealing Suzy. It has its funny moments and sad as Kimberly was raised as an orphan. Just like the previous book, the characters tend to start as rivals, but end up as lovers. There is plenty of action in the book including something steamy. I consider this a must read and I cannot wait to see what is cooked up for cousin Coy!

This is an amazing book. It gives you even more of a look into the Conway family. Love how things work out between Roan and Kimberly. Their story, from the way they meet to the way things end up, always leaves you wondering what will happen next. Can they really trust each other??? I can’t wait to see how things work out and what happens with Oculus.
I love how well this author carries you through her plot with such ease while also giving us well developed characters that just want to jump out of the pages at you. I read the first one in this series and loved it but this took it one step further. Can’t wait for the next one.
