ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 11, 2022

No one will ever face the Poison Wolves MC and live…

Amelia isn’t liked by her pack. As a vegan, animal lover, and completely against violence, she doesn’t fit in with her fellow wolves. They’ve been trying to get her removed from the pack, but the Poison Wolves MC won’t allow it.

Wolfe has wanted Amelia for some time. There’s just something about the sexy, curvy wolf that he can’t get out of his head. When hunters come close, it’s their job to protect. And after Amelia finds someone lurking near her home, the MC puts a protection detail on her.

It’s Wolfe’s opportunity to finally have her to himself. But she’s a virgin. He’s never been with a virgin, and now, he considers it his job to make it right, to show her every carnal desire.

As the days go by without sightings, Wolfe has to wonder if she lied about seeing something in the woods. Is her life in danger? Or did she just want the attention?

Amelia has never sought out the pack’s attention, and she didn’t lie about the threat. Danger awaits, but will it be too late for Wolfe to save her?

REVIEW: HARD FOR YOU is the first instalment in Sam Crescent’s contemporary, adult POISON WOLVES MC erotic, paranormal romance series. This is Poison Wolves MC VP Wolfe, and twenty-five year old waitress Amelia’s story line.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Wolfe and Amelia) HARD FOR YOU follows the building but tempestuous relationship between Poison Wolves MC VP Wolfe, and twenty-five year old Amelia. Amelia is a Pack outcast; a vegan wolf who refuses to hunt, a woman who has been broken by the family and the Pack meant to keep her from harm but someone or something is hunting the wolves, and Amelia lives on the edge of the forest involved. Trying to keep his distance, there is something about Amelia that attracts our hero, something he refuses to accept, admit or want anything to do. Breaking Amelia’s heart is but the first in a long list of sins for which Wolfe must atone but not believing her about the hunter in the forest threatens the life of the woman with whom he is falling in love. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Wolfe and Amelia, and the potential fall-out as Amelia is targeted for what she is, and who she knows.

Amelia has suffered for years at the hands of the Pack in which she belongs but Amelia is stronger than most, and our heroine refuses to give in without a fight. Having caught the eye of the Club VP gave our heroine pause for thought but betrayal at the hands of Wolfe meant Amelia struggled with life going forward.

The relationship between Amelia and Wolfe begins slowly as Wolfe cannot stay away from our story line heroine but Amelia’s reputation as an outcast, a vegan and a literal PITA, meant Wolfe struggled with attraction to a woman no other wolf or Pack would accept. Wolfe never wanted to break her heart but Wolfe broke the woman with whom he was falling in love. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word in my romance story lines.

We are introduced to several members of the Poison Wolves MC: Alpha, Draco, Boyan and Enzo, as well as bar owner Val, and local veterinarian Doctor Milton.

HARD FOR YOU is a story of betrayal, discrimination, judgement and forgiveness. The premise is heart breaking and emotional; the romance is seductive and fated; the characters are energetic and determined.
