After being left at the altar, Jade Roberts seeks solace at her best friend's ranch on the Colorado western slope. Her humiliation still ripe, she doesn't expect to be attracted to her friend's reticent brother, but when the gorgeous cowboy kisses her, all bets are off. Talon Steel is broken. Having never fully healed from a horrific childhood trauma, he simply exists, taking from women what is offered and giving nothing in return...until Jade Roberts catapults into his life. She is beautiful, sweet, and giving, and his desire for her becomes a craving he fears he'll never be able to satisfy. Passion sizzles between the two lovers...but long-buried secrets haunt them both and may eventually tear them apart.

Review

Craving by Helen Hardt was such a fantastic read! Once I started I couldn’t put it down! I do love me some dark reads and this book had some dark elements to it.

Jade is starting over in Colorado. Her best friend, Marjorie invited her to stay at her family’s ranch. It felt right. She needed this. Then she meets Talon. He’s one of Marj’s brother, one she hadn’t met before. Talon is a man of few words. He’s also very attractive and Jade couldn’t deny that.
Talon doesn’t need any complications or distractions and Jade is definitely just that. There is something about her that calls to him. The two no longer fight their attraction but Talon struggles with his new feelings and his past.

Wow. What a read! This book had everything! The author did a great job on both the story and the characters. It had suspense, love, secrets, and some really hot sexy time. I wanted me some Talon *fans self* I did feel it took a bit long for certain stuff to be revealed. I get there has to be a build up but I felt it could have happened a lot sooner. Helen Hardt is a new to me author and I look forward to reading more from her. I can’t wait for the next book! I need it now! I give this 5 stars! – Reviewed by Laura
