My life has recently switched gears and I have gone from working 10-12 hours outside of the home to now working 30-35 hours outside the home. Somehow in the midst of this change, I let this review slip through my fingers. I humbly apologize to the author, the publisher and to you, the reader. This is a great series and this short little story is definitely an important part of it and is not to be missed.
Title: Hard to be Good (HARD INK #3.5)
Author: Laura Kaye
Publisher: Harper Collins
Publication Date: 4/14/2015

Hard Ink Tattoo owner Jeremy Rixey has taken on his brother’s stateside fight against the forces that nearly killed Nick and his Special Forces team a year before. Now, Jeremy’s whole world has been turned upside down—not the least of which by a brilliant, quiet blond man who tempts Jeremy to settle down for the first time ever.
Recent kidnapping victim Charlie Merritt has always been better with computers than people, so when he’s drawn into the SF team’s investigation of his army colonel father’s corruption, he’s surprised to find acceptance and friendship—especially since his father never accepted who Charlie was. Even more surprising is the heated tension Charlie feels with sexy, tattooed Jeremy, Charlie’s opposite in almost every way.
With tragedy and chaos all around them, temptation flashes hot, and Jeremy and Charlie can’t help but wonder why they’re trying so hard to be good.

This was an excellent short book. Kaye did a fantastic job of using her words to continue the struggles that this group is facing while showcasing Jeremy Rixey and Charlie Merritt and their budding relationship.
Jeremy is the sexy owner of the tattoo shop and Nick Rixey's brother. Jeremy has been with both men and women in the past, but it is the quiet and capable Charlie Merritt who has captured his heart.
Charlie is determined to help clear the records of the men who, from the look of things, his own father set up and ruined. Charlie's computer skills have become invaluable to the team and his friendship has become quite a priority in Jeremy's life.
I love that Kaye didn't just use this novella as filler, but it is definitely needed to move the story forward and propel the group closer to finding the truth about what really happened when the boys were stationed in the Middle East. There was a lot of sexy times, emotional growth, and as always, plenty of action.
