I needed this lighthearted and very sexy romance. It just made my day. Rock Hard is the story of a rather large T-rex and his lovable mouse that roared. No, really. OK, T-rex is Charlotte's (Charlie's) pet name for Gabriel Bishop, the big brawny ex-rugby player and very successful businessman. Charlotte is the mouse - shy, reserved, skittish - however, she does stand up to her very demanding boss. This was a lot of fun to read and the sexual tension buildup was delicious.

Now this is the Nalini Singh I know and love. I am glad I didn't give up on this series though I suspect my enjoyment of this book has more to do with the fact that this features a non-rock star hero (I am not a big fan of that genre of books) and that we actually see character development and a plot not just wham-bham. I do see that these books are a bit more over-sexed than the usual NS books. ...more

4.5 stars

Why am I even surprised!?!?! Nalini Singh is one of my absolute favorite writers and she continues to prove that with every book she writes. Her characters make you care for them instantly and connect with their stories. ROCK HARD is a perfect example of that because I wanted to devour the whole thing, and I did!

Stepping away from rock stars in a rock star series may seem like a weird thing to do, but this book about T-Rex was highly anticipated by many. I know I was salivating for it. I am here to tell you one thing. T-Rex will own your heart. He’ll take a bite and you will want more! This book met and exceeded all my expectations. I was giddy with excitement reading every single word and highly disappointed when I got to end. Much to quickly.

The chemistry between Gabriel and Charlotte is on fire. Starts out with the banter and the bickering. She’s mousy and he’s overbearing. But then we see that change in her and there’s nothing better than seeing her take charge and stand up to T-Rex. Even when inside she may still be a little scared of what may happen. The dynamics of their relationship are amazing. Job very well done Ms. Singh. And yes, the sexual chemistry? Off the charts!

Even though Gabriel is a sports star (retired) he doesn’t fit the sports romance hero mold. He’s a billionaire, but he doesn’t fit the billionaire hero standard either. He’s unique, he’s different, he’s perfect, and everything I know Ms. Singh knows what to do with a hero. Have I mentioned how much I love him? I may be gushing a bit.

The story line in this book run a bit parallel to ROCK ADDICTION and we see some of the things we missed when Molly was seeing some of the T-Rex interactions with her best friend Charlotte. It filled in all the gaps I had and answered some questions as to what was going on there, that were the reason I was so antsy to get to their story.

Without a doubt, ROCK HARD is my favorite book in this series. It rocked my world….hard. Heh pun intended. Now gimme more!

Despite the horror that is contained in Charlotte's past, this book is mostly light hearted fun with just enough pathos and tenderness from Gabriel to make it a compassionate and sexy read as well.

I have enjoyed this series and this book is no different. I enjoyed rugby, the throw back theme of the big boss and the mouse who is wicked smart, and New Zealand.

The romance and plot aren't surprising but Singh is a great writer and these are wonderful characters. A comfort read.
