Cole:
I push her buttons. I want to push them in the good way. Dirty, up-against-the-wall, my-hand-in-her-pants kind of way.
But that’s not possible, because I’m dark and she’s light, and we both know it.
So I push her buttons in the bad way, making her hate me.
Hailey:
If a genie granted me three wishes, I’d ask for Cole Parker to never look at me again, that I’d forget the dark promise in his … forget the dark promise in his eyes, and that just once, before he vanished from my life completely, that he’d push me up against a wall and make me scream.
Then I’d go wash my mouth out with soap.
This story was originally published in a three-part serial. Those are included, as well as a bonus postscript section at the back with two additional scenes.
This is the complete story of Cole Parker and Hailey Dashford Reid. The Horus Group series will continue…
The Complete Serial! Also includes two exclusive bonus epilogues!
Warning: This is just the start. This doesn’t end well. And it’s going to get much worse before it ever gets better.more
Didn’t want to stop reading. Read the rest in the series. Waiting for the next to come out.
This was my first time reading this author but it won’t be my last! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and finished it in a weekend. Not too light. Not too dark. Just right!
I love Cole Parker! Big, strong, sexy, tough ex-Navy SEAL, with a dirty mouth and even dirtier mind! My favorite kind of character to read about! I also loved Hailey Reid simply because she was everything Cole was, with a sweet side to boot! This book was so well written and quick to read. Be prepared to changed your panties while reading the words that leave Cole’s mouth, GOOD LORD they are dirty and sexy as hell! I loved the book and can’t wait to read about the rest of the Horus Group!
I like Cole but I love Hailey. She strong and determined to make her own way in the world the right way despite her last name. She’s somewhat insecure about her physical appearance but not enough that it debilitates her from seeing her self worth. If I had no fault with her it was still letting her family manipulate her but a lot of children have that problem with their parents. Hailey’s parents are horrible disgusting people. It will take a while to get the full scope of their wickedness but keep reading. Love oftentimes make us want to please family. This was a good book filled with intrigue and hot dirty sex. The only things that I didn’t like was the spanking, anal, and the sex I front of someone else. I not a fan of physical pain as pleasure or exhibitionism but to ease his/her own. The characters were interesting and the book held my attention through the story. I read the books out of order reading Booty Call first which is Ali and Scott’s story. Hailey and Cole were in that book and I wanted to read more about how they came to be a couple. I’m glad I did. I enjoyed it. Until next time y’all happy reading.
OMG!!!!! I loved this book. Cole and Hailey are meant for each other. I have read the first 3 books in the series and cannot wait for Jason and Elllie’s story.
I’ve had this book on my Kindle for several months and I really wish I’d read it sooner. I did initially struggle to get into the story as it felt like I was supposed to already know parts of the story, but it still hooked me and I didn’t put it down until I got to the end. This is definitely a book I’ll re-read as I want to experience the relationship that built between Cole and Hailey all over again. I’ll certainly be checking out the other books in this series, and was excitedly to find that I’ve already got book 2 on my Kindle!
A first for me by this author, I honestly had no idea what I was getting myself into. Obviously I had the synopsis and, but lets face it the title of this novel was the kicker for me. So I one clicked and away I went.
Guys what an absolute ripper of a read. It’s all kinds of cheeky, risque, sinfully delicious and all things erotic. But what I absolutely loved about this novel was between all the sexiness and deliciousness was a gripping story of depravity that had me wanting more. A novel about evil and the trail of destruction monsters leave behind. A novel about wanting the very people that are set to destroy punished for their sins. A novel about finding light amongst the torture and hurt these evil humans set to continually destroy.
Cole and Hailey’s story was for me one of pure perfection.
Strangers to one another, but yet soon become so much more.
Two people drawn together by the evil that one calls family.
Two people, one with so many secrets, and one wanting to reveal them.
Two people both wanting to find happiness.
Two people wanting to trust when trust is broken.
Two people, one a socialite, one a protector.
Cole and Hailey. This is their story.
I loved everything this novel encompassed and I highly recommend this to anyone to read. I do warn that some of the subject matter for me was gut wrenching in nature, but don’t let that deter you from picking this novel up.
A gem of a read.
5 stars
I felt like this was a good book but a little longer than necessary
I’ve had the honor and pleasure of reading Haley and Cole’s story both as originally written in installments and now I got to revisit them in this full length novel of all three parts that make up their road to HEA … plus I got a wedding!!! ***eeeeekkk***
A few highlights for you about Hailey & Cole and The Horus Group …
I COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER ROMANCE STORY ~~ No two people have ever been more suited than these two. Where one is dark, the other is light. Where one is hard, the other is soft. The energy between them is electric and it’s powerful. Their love is kismet.
This isn’t over. It’s coming back. And it’s gonna hurt. So PAY ATTENTION!
The Horus Group has indeed moved The Gladiators aside…it’s time to get down to business!
Hate F*@k: The Complete Story contains two exclusive bonus epilogues! Here are my thoughts:
Hate F*@k: In The Middle of the Night
“You get so sloppy after you come, baby. It’s hot.” I wish I’d known that. I wasted ten years after puberty being embarrassed about the awesomeness between my legs.
u202a#filthyu202c u202a#dirtyu202c u202a#goodnessu202c
Hate F*@k: Wedding Day
Cole: I try to live every day like my deeds are my vows to her. I don’t always succeed. Sometimes she needs to poke me.
Hailey: “Don’t ever think you’re not enough for me,” she mock growls at me when I finally let her up for air. “You’re my rock, you get that? I don’t need you to be anything else, because you anchor me.”
Dear Ainsley:
I hate you a little for the vows, but love you for them more <3
Thank you for writing this 'moment in time'
xoxo
Did not care to continue reading. Was looking for more story.
This was a little drawn out in not-so-good ways and it took a while to warm up to the characters. But the author doesn’t disappoint in the erotic/steamy scenes department.
I loved this book
A little predictable, but solid. Sexy as hell. Main character more feisty than normal, which is nice.
Entertaining
Good escapist reading, reasonably described characters in conflict at first meeting, and then off we go. Predictable, but grammatical (thank you!) and moves along well.
A good read that was interesting.
Couldn’t finish it. It became tedious
The book is good. I like the push and pull from the start.
Great read…….
Reading now. Interesting from beginning. I will finish before end of day. This is one you don’t want to put down. Lots of romance in a dirty but sweet caring way.
