My thoughts are conflicted. The forced parts were so raw and believable that I had a hard time adjusting to the rest of the story. I guess that's both good and bad. It was definitely written in a way that made it real. And when it no longer was, I couldn't erase my initial reaction.

It was definitely a new reading experience. I have read (and loved) another of Amber Bardan's books, so this won't be the last for me. However, I will adjust my expectations in the future and be ready for... well, anything. Three stars!

Something about this story piqued my interest enough to want to read it. Even though I knew this story to be a quick hot read, the twist didn't really work for me, but I did like the history they had and that they all end up together. They get their HEA. There were some hot sex scenes. This was a fast, enjoyable read.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

3 1/2 Stars.....

While this novella had a steady flowing storyline and good character interaction, it did take me a while to get into the plot and it wasn’t what I had originally expected.

Overall, a enjoyable story with plenty of heart pounding sex scenes and a definitely recommended for those readers who like their books with an erotic twist.

3.5 Stars
I wasn’t sure how I felt about this one at first but as the story progressed the storyline revealed its twist things became more believable. I liked Twice As Hard the character interaction was good and the story flowed well.

When I read the synopsis of Twice as Hard, I wasn’t immediately interested. Ménage storylines aren’t something I’ve really read or taken too much of an interest in. I found out that this was part of an anthology that I had already started and decided to give this a shot. Honestly, I’m really glad I did because I ended up loving it!

Twice as Hard takes such a pleasantly surprising turn and the synopsis does not do the story justice. The sex scenes were raunchy and erotic as hell. I thought with it being a shorter story (36k words) that the plot wouldn’t be well developed. I’m happy to say that this is not the case. It was very well written, the story was not just about the sex, but that was obviously a huge part of it. There was back story, the characters were developed and not just blank slates. I went into this with hardly any expectations, but I ended up invested in this story. It was a quick read, you can read it in one sitting, I know I did.

a good read

This book is a mess.  It's basically two books that the author tried to put together into one.  Both of them suck.  The author tries to keep the reader in suspense about the true scenario, but it only leads to confusion, not the shock factor they were going for.  And the sex is supposed to be BDSM, but it goes over the line into abusive and gross.

I really didn't like this story. I'm obsessed with menages but I began reading this and kept rolling my eyes. The way the author first depicts the two Clarke and Luke, made them creapy and I couldn't keep that out of my head.

Oooo this book is sizzling hot!  Love the surprise the author gave us.  This is a book you'll want to read over over again.

This story was unexpected. Just as you're coming to terms with the relationship as it's presented, the roles change. I found that switchup to not flow very well... especially with a story this short. It takes any attachment you may have built for the characters so far and bashes it to pieces. That said, it was sexy and intense and very unusual... so the entertainment value was there in spades.

This review is for 'Twice As Hard' by Amber A. Bardan.

HOT DAMN, this book was so sexy.

I'm always wary of menage romances because most of the time one guy ends up seeming like a 3rd wheel. Or the girl likes one more than the other. But ohhhh, this book really hit the spot (in more ways than one). Neither man was left out, in any sense of the word. I was impressed with the level of heat in the sex scenes. They were scorchers. I was reading them thinking, 'This author done good.'. Just when you're thinking this book is all sex, the drama comes.
 
I was so surprised about everything that got revealed and who the 2 men really were that I didn't mind the drama at all. It added some really great emotion to the book. The epilogue tied everything up in a nice, sexy bow.
