MY REVIEW FOR HARD TO LET GO:
How can this series already be over?? Yes, those are words of complete and total despair!!! This is one of my all time favorite series, and now- it's done. Finished. Complete. Gosh, I just don't even know how to put into words how much that kills me!!!
That being said, Laura certainly closed this one out with a bang!! Having Beckett and Kat to bookend the series, was a fabulous move on her part. From the minute we were introduced to Beckett Murda, with his haunted eyes, and huge body- there was something about him that screamed gentle giant to me. I knew that under the gruff exterior of that big and beautiful man, was a sad and tragic story about his past. I knew that, more than anything, he needed someone in his life to finally show him how worthy of love that he was. Katherine Rixey was that someone.
I couldn't have imagined a better match for Beckett. She was exactly what he needed. Bold, courageous, confident and feisty- and extremely loyal. Not only to her brothers, but to all of her newfound Hard Ink family. While dealing with her own demons, Kat had to learn to let down her walls, and finally allow someone to protect her. Finally allow herself to trust again. So, it's a damn good thing that Beckett was a persistent man. Regardless of his reluctance to let her into his own heart, he never gave up on trying to make her his.
Their story, trying as it may have been for the two of them, made for such a beautiful ending to this series. Their love, combined with not only that of all of the other Hard Ink couples, but the vindication of finally being the heroes that they all were, was a hell of way to go out. I'm in love with the fact that there are snippets of the future with Laura's upcoming series, about the MC, and can't wait to read about Ike and Jess in Hard As Steel!!!
5 humongous stars for not only this book, but this ENTIRE SERIES!!! One of the best!!!

EXCERPT: Beckett was a wrung-out mess. He’d just spent the past hour talking to Emilie, and it was maybe more than he’d talked at one time in his whole life. He couldn’t exactly say he felt good, and maybe not even better, but he could say that he was a little proud of himself for facing his past. Didn’t matter that dealing with that shit was as comfortable as swallowing crushed glass, because choking it down was the only way he’d have a chance at a future. At least, a future that he really, truly wanted. One where he wasn’t alone. One where he wasn’t angry. One where he wasn’t wasting the time he might have left on this earth—time his seven fallen teammates no longer had. Jogging down the stairs from the third-floor apartment, Beckett headed to the gym. No matter how trashed he felt, he had one more conversation that absolutely had to happen tonight. With Nick. About Kat. Beckett had seen the all-knowing looks on Marz’s and Jeremy’s faces when he and Kat joined the all-hands’ meeting earlier in the evening. If he didn’t go to Nick soon, the guy was going to learn about them some other way. And then the hell was going to be even worse to pay. And Beckett didn’t want that to happen. Not just because he didn’t want the hassle. But because he owed it to Nick—as his friend and his brother—to come clean. Didn’t mean that his gut wasn’t all twisted up about whether Nick would think him good enough for his baby sister, though. He reached the gym door, took a deep breath, and punched in the pass code. Man up, Murda. Right. Inside, things were hopping, despite the fact that it was pushing eleven o’clock. Some Ravens were lifting weights. Others were shooting the shit around the table. And two guys were tossing a ball back and forth, driving Eileen crazy by bouncing it over her head. Easy was pounding out a fast pace on the treadmill. And, in the back corner, Nick, Marz, and Shane were poring over something on Marz’s desk. Beckett had faced down terrorists who wanted nothing more than to take his life with their very hands, and he’d probably never been as nervous as he was right now. For fuck’s sake. He moved into the room. About midway across he spied Cy peeking out from behind a weight machine. “You and me are gonna have a talk soon, too,” he said, pointing at the cat. A one-eyed blink was his only answer. And then he was standing on the far side of Marz’s desk next to Shane, peering down at what the three men were examining. Marz gave him a smile and tapped his finger against the pages. “Just going over all these instances when Merritt noted Kaine as having changed orders regarding counternarcotics missions.” “Marz was right,” Nick said, looking up at him. “Some of these gave me a bad feeling in my gut at the time, because they seemed out of character for Merritt. He was never a last minute kinda guy. Every damn time he’s marked those changes as having been ordered by Kaine.” Beckett nodded. And then his mouth acted without his brain’s permission. “I’d like to date your sister.”
