This was a really sweet romance.I was pulled right into the story and did not want to stop reading.Laurel is on the run from her abusive ex when she stops to get some gas she walks into a robbery and is saved by Jase I really liked Jase, he has his own baggage does not like all the attention he gets after the robbery.This was a good read its a little on the short size but i enjoyed it

A cute story about two people who are down on their luck who are thrown together during a robbery at a convenience store.

A few issues I had with this story that prevented me from rating it higher. Laurel accepted everything without giving anything a second thought. A complete stranger offers for you to spend the night in another stranger's house and you barely give it a second thought? That same stranger offers you money to stay in town and feed the press information and you don't think it's going to back fire on you? Even as you develop feelings for the man that you're being paid to help, you don't worry even once that he could find out about the money?

Overall, not bad...just think it could have been better.

“Dear Publisher, Thank you for giving me the opportunity to review this book . At the present moment, I am unable to finish it, because it isn’t holding my interest. If I complete it at any time in the future, I will follow up with an email. I look forward to hearing about your future titles. Thanks again. Regards, Blogger

For the first book in a series, this one was exceptional. So much so, it has set the tone for the others that one would hope to come. There was emotional darkness, genuiness of spirit, selflessness...I could go on and on; there was just so much packed into this one story.

The fight that Jace had inside was palpable and heartbreaking, you could feel his loathing as he faught his circumstances. Add in Laurel's fear and fighting spirit and you have the perfect combination to make this story capture your heart as the couple's story unfolded. If there was ever a couple that you wanted a HEA for, Jace and Laurel is it.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

I enjoyed this read by an author who is new to me. Both Jase and Laurel are weighed down by their pasts and meet in unusual circumstances. They take a chance to help each other out and end up falling in love. I enjoyed the story, although I felt the ending was a little rushed and Jases's ability to trust Laurel was restored rather quickly. All in all, it was a good read.

Wow this book is full of loads of action as well as romance that will have you coming back for more. The author has done such an outstanding job with this story that I couldn’t help not wanting to tell everyone about it. The storyline and the characters really make this story a fantastic one to read and such a pleasure too. I really enjoyed this book from start to finish and can’t wait to see what she brings out next. Will definitely be finding more books by this author to read and I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone

Romance, mystery and a man with a past no one wants to forget. I enjoyed Hard Miles and look forward to reading more of this series.

Hard Miles was a an enjoyable read. You had romance, mystery girl on the run, and a messed up hero who needed a nudge to put all those demons behind him. Enter Laurel Winters to save the day. But first Jace Mills needs to do a little Savin himself.
I liked this book and wish it could have had a little more suspense, however, it’s well worth a read and Trish Arcangelo has a great writing style and captivates the reader.

Hard Miles is a heartfelt, sexy and sweet story. Laurel is on the run from her abusive ex, on whom she snitched to his drug dealer, when she stops at a gas station and gets saved from two robbers who are holding the place up. Her savior is the hottie she'd been drooling over inside the convenience mart attached to the gas station.

Jase has lots of inner demons, so when he's being hailed as Laurel's hero, he's really uncomfortable with his new status. And when Jase's champion, his sister, avails upon Laurel to help Jase out (unbeknownst to him), Laurel has no choice but to say yes. But, if (when) Jase finds out, it will most certainly ruin the tentative relationship forming between them.

Although short, Hard Miles really resonated with me. I fell in love with both Jase and Laurel. Jase, in particular, had lots of layers, and was such a big sweetheart beneath his gruff exterior. And Laurel was adorable, too, especially in her vulnerability. I wish Hard Miles were a tad bit longer, so that Jase and Laurel's relationship had more time to develop, but as it was written, I still really enjoyed reading about Jase and Laurel and how they came to fall in love. If there's more to come in this series, I will definitely be reading!
