Hard Edit follows up on our beloved couple Troy and Larson. Who thought these two will be riding off to the sunset and living their happily ever after? Well I hope they did but let’s face it, every relationship has it’s ups and downs. And for Troy and Larson, it looks like they need to edit and correct the hurdles that stand in their way. What makes this follow-up book stand out is that while Smith & LeNoir incorporated their signature mark of witty banter and sexy steamy scenes, this story carried more of an emotional undertone. Readers got to see the real Troy and Larson. Naked. Vulnerable. Unedited.

Smith & LeNoir did an amazing job juxtaposing and weaving two strong male characters while still highlighting their individuality. Each character brought something to the story line as readers were able to see and feel the character growth of both Troy and Larson. Yes, they will still fight and argue but it’s normal. They are two perfectly imperfect couple who fits together.

Overall, I really enjoyed reading Hard Edit and could not put this book down. It was sexy, funny, playful and yet packed that raw emotional punch. Smith & LeNoir beautifully brought forth a story that was realistic, raw, vibrant, and charismatic. Together they tastefully blended a clean and flawlessly well-done smart modern romance.
