I loved this book!! There was a lot of excitement going on. Moments where you are trying to figure out what’s going on, and they are too. And I loved the characters. Audrey & Jameson are fierce, both separately & together. Loved them. I hope there will be more!
This is a really good book but just to let you know that it does end in a cliffhanger so if you’re not a fan of Cliffhangers then you probably won’t like this book but other than that it was very well written and I really liked it

Romance, suspense and paranormal
Harder Than Stone by Jacey Ward and Chloe Fischer is a well written short story. This book introduces the reader to a family with special abilities. Audrey and Jameson, in a similar career path run into each other often, but are true opposites. This makes the romance element very interesting as their chemistry is super nova hot.
I really enjoyed the danger, suspense and plot of this book, the allusion of many more characters just waiting for their own story and what other evil awaits.
Overall a well written engaging book with an HEA and the promise of more excitement to come.
I read an ARC of this book from Booksprout and voluntarily share my review
Welcome to the next generation of “Hard”. We originally met Audrey as a child in “Hard Limit”. She’s now all grown up and determined that her generation will finally take down Oculus. Who’s Oculous you ask? For the full back story I suggest you read the original “Hard” series. While not necessary, it will definitely help you understand what’s happening now. I really enjoyed this story and can’t wait to see which cousin is next.

Great read this author never disappoints . Starts off fast and hard no waiting until chapter 3 for the characters to evolve. Hard series 1 not required but worth the story line to go forward. This is an arc review
I’m not really sure how I feel on this story. There’ suspense, love, and adventure. The story at times just don’t make sense, but then it starts to make sense and you want to know what is happening. I’m not sure if Oculus is a government project or something else, I wish that was more explained. The story might be better than. Is it to make top killing people? I really like the two main characters in the book, I think they really mesh together. I would recommend reading this book and the next one might bring out more of what’s going on in the story.

I loved this!!! You get to see the way the next generation is handling things. Audrey is very much about making it away from the compound, but comes to find out just how hard things can get. Love the way things happen between Audrey and Jameson. I can’t wait for the next one to come out.

This book is the beginning of a second-generation series that has superpowers and a love interest. I did not realize that there was a first generation series (HARD series) until I read this book, I am now intrigued and will be looking into reading that series before the next book comes out. I do not believe you have to read the first series to be familiarize with the point of the stories as this story gave you the foundation of what the ultimate goal is.
Now this story is about Audrey and Jameson, both doctors in the field of psychology, but both having some type of superpowers. They tend to start as rivals, but end up as lovers. There is plenty of action in the book as they try to keep themselves alive, but there is also some steamy sections to it too. I consider this a must read and I cannot wait to see who is next for book 2! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
This was a great story. The twist and turns in the plot gave the story a edge. The adventure and suspense the characters had went through was unbelievable. The passion shared was hot. It was an overall a great book.

Sixteen-year-old Audrey Conway looked up into the storming sky and saw purple and white colors which did not belong to the storm. She was in a bad mood and snapped at her step-mother, Sage, who tried to get her to come inside out of the weather. Her father and his three brothers, with their special abilities, also lived on the compound; and their children were more powerful than their fathers! They were protected fiercely by their parents and rarely got to leave the compound. Oculus would always be searching for them. But Audrey knew that the color purple indicates trouble and white indicates uncertainty. What could be coming at them now? She tried to tap into her father’s thoughts, but he had gotten more skilled at blocking her. Sage was telling her father that they should prepare her for the future she wants to explore, because soon she would break out of the compound with or without their consent. She was restless and needed freedom. It was her time to be out in the world and tracking down Oculus.
In the outside world, Dr. Audrey McMahon has made it her mission to find and destroy Oculus as an undercover operative in the CIA. She is forced to run and is helped by Dr. Jameson Landry. With both of them now on the run, they need each other as they try to escape Oculus in the Nicaraguan jungles. Working together for survival, their relationship changes and draws them closer. Can they survive with just the two of them against the powerful Oculus who will stop at nothing to get at their special abilities?
This was an exciting book that I highly recommend. The characters are well defined and likable, and the story line is fast-paced and exciting. The twists and turns keep up the suspense and the reader will love the surprises along the way!
I love that JW is keeping this series going with the next generation. It is fun, sexy, scary and entertaining. You don’t have to read the first set of books but I highly recommend you do!

Harder Than Stone by Jacey Ward was an Interesting Read.
This is the first story that I have read in this series, so I felt like I had been dropped in the middle of events that I knew nothing about.
The story moved along quickly, although I still have no idea who, or what Oculus is, or what they do.

Audrey and Jameson’s story had many twists and turns in trying to avoid the evil Oculus. The story was interesting, but I felt it was rushed at the end. The ending left possibilities that their could be more books on this couple. There were so many unanswered questions especially regarding their “abilities.”’
