Title: Hard Wood
Series: Big Rock #6
Author: Lauren Blakely
Publication Date: October 23, 2017
Genre: Contemporary Romance

From #1 NYT Bestselling author Lauren Blakely comes a hot & hilarious new romantic comedy AND the final novel in her beloved Big Rock series of standalone romances...

Women often say a good man is hard to find. And a hard man is even better.
That's why I'm quite a catch-- good, hard, loaded, and wait for it...I'm ready to settle down too. But the woman I want to pitch my tent with lives clear across the country. Neither of us wants to get lost in those woods. All I have to do is resist her for the week she's in town.

I try. I swear I try. But yeah, that doesn't work out.

And after one fantastic night with my good friend Mia, I'm ready to give her years of nights under the stars. What's a few thousand miles when love's involved? But there's a hitch in my plans -- she just hired my adventure tour company. If there's one thing I'm committed to, it's running a squeaky clean business. Number one on my list of iron-clad rules?

Don't screw your customers.

But what's a guy to do when she's so hard to resist? How hard can it be to keep our hands off each other for a quick group tour down the hills and over the trails? I'm about to find out, and I have a feeling I'm going to need a new badge of honor because things are about to get very hard in the woods.
♥ The best friends little sister / brothers friend trope has no place here.

♥ H is a cat person.

♥ The cat. Who happens to be Instagram famous.

♥ Humorous and smart characters and writing.

♥ Cat POV. It was very proper and hilarious. He definitely stole the show.

♥ The banter between the H and h, and even their convos with the cat are hilarious

♥ Quoting literary quotes at each other.

♥ Nature whirlwind wedding.

  • After the straightforwardness of the H in the beginning, he clammed up about his feelings/thoughts from the h. What happened to all that bravado, dude? At least he didn't keep it to himself for very long.
  • Not enough cat POV.

Patrick // Instagram active dudebro and cat daddy to Zeus. Not as IG famous as his cat.

Zeus // Patrick's Instagram famous, hiking cat. Yes, you read that right, but that's not all he's good for in this story or in Patrick's life.

Max //

Mia // Hardworking girlboss who can kick ass in the woods, in the boardroom and quote literature. She's smart and fiesty. Literally wifey material.

Evie // Best sister ever.

"The reason I said 'after you' at the start of the trails is that I'm a gentleman and I still believe that ladies come first." I stop, reigning in a smirk. "Go first, I mean. Ladies go first."
