Rock Hard (Rock Kiss Book 2)-ARC Review-

***A gifted copy was provided by NetGalley for an honest review***

I have been waiting to read the story between Gabriel aka T-Rex and Charlie aka Mouse since I've read about them in Rock Addiction by Nalini Singh and I must say-OMG!! I LOVE this book. I am way beyond happy with this story. I had my expectations on high, wondering how she would top Rock Addiction but I am soo glad she exceeded them

In this story, we delve into Gabriel and Charlotte’s story. Rock Hard runs parallel to the events of book one. Gabriel Bishop just got hired to help an ailing company where he met Charlie. Charlie-mouse is painfully shy while T-Rex is forceful and used to getting what he wants. Charlie is terrified and is terrified T-Rex will do something to her – deep down she knows these fears are unfounded but due to a horrific event in her past( think evil ex boyfriend), she cannot afford to let go of the fears. Gabriel cant understand why she fears him so but something about her calls to him , draws him to her, makes him crave her. So he slowly draws her out by him slowly getting her used to him and the routine- so their dance begins.

In the book, we see Charlie come slowly out of her shell while getting to know Gabriel as not her boss but as man. Gabriel saw Charlie as not just his PA but as a woman, someone who is special. He realized something terrible happened and he wants to protect her, keep her safe. Gabriel , too, has something deep in his past that is coming back to give him some fits. Together both are working together to mend their hearts and work toward the sparks that fly when they are together. When they are in a room together, the steaminess heats up …OMG—all I can say is, get a change of panties available- in fact, have several ready. This couple knows how to steam up the kindle. 
Gabriel is on Alpha male, ready to take on any and all for his woman and that is what Charlie needed when trouble came calling for her. Also, Charlie was there when Gabriel had some family drama come up. Love Gabriel’s family-they were awesome-(would love to see a spin-off book on his unmarried brothers.) 

The ending of the book had a few terse, scary moments. I do not want to give any *spoilers* away but hang on to your seats--It had me gasp a few times. I really love how the book ended. I have to say, I have * NO IDEA* who the next book is about. I didn’t get any clues so I am really stumped. Ms. Singh did her job and has her readers now going back checking the Rock Hard books for clues. This is an awesome series and I can’t wait for the next book in the series. I really do hope it is soon!! You will not go wrong with this series!!

My rating: 5.0 stars *****
