About HARD TO LET GO:
Beckett Murda hates to dwell on the past. But his investigation into the ambush that killed half his Special Forces team and ended his Army career gives him little choice. Just when his team learns how powerful their enemies are, hard-ass Beckett encounters his biggest complication yet—a seductive, feisty Katherine Rixey.
A tough, stubborn prosecutor, Kat visits her brothers’ Hard Ink Tattoo shop following a bad break-up—and finds herself staring down the barrel of a stranger’s gun. Beckett is hard-bodied and sexy as hell, but he’s also the most infuriating man ever. Worse, Kat’s brothers are at war with the criminals her office is investigating. When Kat joins the fight, she lands straight in Beckett’s sights . . . and in his arms. Not to mention their enemies’ crosshairs.
Now Beckett and Kat must set aside their differences to work together, because the only thing sweeter than justice is finding love and never letting go.

HARD TO LET GO Excerpt:
Kissing and more
Time slowed and Kat’s heart raced as Beckett slowly leaned in.
By the time her mind shoved through the haze of surprise and lust to react, his lips were brushing hers.
Just a brush of skin on skin, amazingly soft and tentative. So surprising given his size.
The world froze for a long moment, but then that little bit of contact set off a flash fire in Kat’s blood. And apparently Beckett’s, too.
Because the kiss turned instantly and blisteringly devouring. On a groan, his tongue invaded her mouth, and she sucked him in deep. Their hands pulled one another closer and their bodies collided. Their height differentiation was so great that Kat had to push onto her tiptoes and Beckett had to lean way down. Kat wasn’t sure if she pulled herself up or Beckett lifted her, but the next thing she knew her legs were wrapped around his hips and his hands gripped her ass.
They stumbled into her room and Beckett kicked the door shut behind them. Kat moaned as her back came up against the wall and his erection ground against her core.
With his tongue in her mouth and his hands roaming her body and his hips pressing maddeningly against the center of her need, Kat was possibly more overwhelmed than she’d ever been in her life. Beckett Murda was all she felt, saw, smelled, tasted. Her mind was on a repeating track of Wait … wait … omigod … what’s happening? But her body had totally left the station.
Whatever small part of her wanted to pull back or slow down gave way to the more urgent need to let go. Let go of worrying about Cole. Let go of the fear she felt for her brothers. Let go of the horrible images she carried in her mind of the Hard Ink roof collapsing and Jeremy going down with it, which was the scariest thing she’d ever seen.
Not to mention the conversation she needed to have, the one that would force her to break confidentialities and put her job at risk.
So she did. Kat let it all go in favor of letting Beckett pull her under the waves with him.
She plowed her fingers into his hair, which was just long enough to grip and tug, and squeezed her legs around his hips, bringing them closer. Creating more of that delicious friction. He groaned low in his throat, and the sound reverberated into her belly, causing her to grind her hips forward against him.
Wait … wait … wait … turned into want … want … want …
“Jesus, want you, too,” he growled. He kissed and licked at her jaw, her ear, her neck.
“Beckett,” she rasped as he trailed little bites down the side of her throat. She bowed off the wall, thrusting against him. And, God, he was deliciously hard and thick between her legs.
Suddenly, she wanted to know: Just. How. Thick.
My Review: I have thoroughly enjoyed Laura Kaye’s Hard Ink series and she did not disappoint with HARD TO LET GO, which is the final installment, and is Beckett Murda and Katherine Rixey’s story. Beckett, along with his former Special Forces Team are investigating the events that led to their discharge from the Army. A series of events that have taken place more than a year after the incident in question have given them hope and a reason to think that their honor can be restored. As they dig deeper, they soon discover how much more intricate the web of deception that has been woven to cover up the truth really is. As things get more intense while an end to their questions begins to come into sight, the action and danger once again intensify.
Kat Rixey is Nick and Jeremy’s little sister, and is just as feisty and headstrong as her brothers, especially Nick. She is also a lawyer, and upon weighing her loyalties to her job and her family, well…..family definitely won out. With her help, a light begins to become visible at the end of a very dark and trying tunnel. What neither Kat or Beckett considered, was the fact that they would fall for each other, and fall hard. Both of them have issues, Beckett’s stemming back to childhood, and Kat’s revolving around something more recent, Because of his past, Beckett is very guarded and doesn’t let people in. That said, Kat Rixey just jumped on that wall and climbed it, and Beckett finds himself dealing with a hot, feisty, sassy, and determined Kat Rixey.
The chemistry between these two is off the charts hot, and is something that is almost palpable, Something that Kat and Beckett can’t deny, despite their attempts to convince themselves otherwise. This, combined with the intense action packed drama that occurs as the story comes to a head, provides readers with a novel that will keep you turning the pages as fast as you can read them. I loved the romance between these two, which was not only hot, but proved to be very entertaining as well. I also loved how all the other characters from the previous novels play big parts in this installment, keeping you connected to them as well. I loved how the book ended and where Laura Kaye concluded this series, while at the same time setting up her readers for what is coming next, Contemporary romance fans, HARD TO LET GO and the entire Hard Ink series is a hot, action-packed, sexy read that you will most definitely want to add to your TBR list.
