ABOUT THE BOOK
Ledger:
Sometimes one good dose of trouble could turn your life around, put you on the right path. But I'd taken the opposite side of the forked road and headed off looking for even more trouble, like a junkie constantly searching for the next high. Never would I have guessed that turn would lead me to her.
I couldn't stop thinking about her. She was an angel, a hard core, bone-fide angel and in her short life, she'd already had a taste of hell. Jacy:
Despair. Heartbreak. Silence. That was all I'd grown to know, until he showed up next door.
The handsome, tattooed stranger had the kind of eyes that were hard to look away from, and he gazed at me as if we'd been friends or even lovers in a different life. He looked at me as if he knew me, and suddenly I had this flash of feeling as if I was right where I was supposed to be.
Ledger chose the wrong path. Jacy chose the wrong husband.
Overcoming the mistakes of his wild youth, Ledger has spent the last few years paying his debt to society, and the one thing that’s given him hope has been listening to his cellmate talk about his ex-wife Jacy, a woman who deserved the best from a man but received the worst. Once free, Ledger’s protective instincts compel him to make sure she’s okay.
Jacy’s working to reclaim her life. She quietly runs her coffee shop in the small resort town of Rockwood Beach while trying to forget the violence and pain in her past. She’s made progress, but trust doesn’t come easily.
Can these two broken hearts find love together?
Can they escape their past lives?
Or will buried secrets resurface and finally destroy them?

This is Tess Oliver at her finest. I loved the world-building, characters and the slow romantic build up. Hard Core was sensuality at its best, and – ooh, baby, was it hot! This is one of those books that makes you want to read it again and again. If you haven't discovered the incredible writing of Tess Oliver, I highly recommend this book. It's a standalone and really everything you could hope for in a romantic read. ~ Grigsby
OK, first let me say that 5 Stars for me is just NOT enough for Hard Core!!! I am just in complete awe and have such tremendous admiration for this author to take such a unique storyline and weave such an intricate and delicate love story. For me, the back stories were handled with such care and tenderness, the author took her time and yet NEVER ever dragged out the storyline at all! The way the story unfolds was just magical in every sense and on every level. ~ JosP
