Hardpressed by Meredith Wild
5.0

I was about halfway through this book when I realized that I hadn’t put a hold on book 3 in this series. After the first book, Hardwired, ended in a bit of a cliffhanger I knew this one wouldn’t be wrapped up in a neat bow by the end. But I was so absorbed in the story that I actually forgot to put it aside at the end of the chapter I was on so I could make sure the next book would be available for me. Yep, it was that engaging.

There were some really intense scenes in this story. As much as I was annoyed with Erica in the first book because of her habit of pulling away from Blake, it made sense in this part of the story. I wanted to be annoyed with her, but I couldn’t find it in my heart since she was so devastated by all that was going on around her.

I’m not sure if I really understand the Alli/Heath relationship. But I have to say that the little we do see of Heath in this one helped me to like him a lot more than I did before. I’m also not sure how I feel about one of the new characters, James. There are things I really like about him, but dude has to read the room sometimes. My loyalty to Blake doesn’t help my feelings toward James either.
