I have been a fan of Staci's books, since I first started reading the Heart and Arrows series. I was BEYOND excited to read Hardcore!!!!! Oh boy, she does not disappoint!! 
 Vol. 1 is told from Cory's POV, this book kept me on the edge of sit....from the first page. Cory is one of those chicks, that doesn't take crap from anyone. She has one exciting, mysterious job(Everything that I would want to be). All of that comes to a halt when she meets Van. 
 Now Van is one hot specimen of a guy, when I say hot...I mean HOT!!!!!!! Thanks, Staci...I am adding another guy to my book boyfriend list! Even though, the connection between Cory and Van, is steamy and HOT! Hard times are ahead, for these two.....if you want a book that keeps you on your toes, or the feeling that you might need a cold shower....read this book!!!!! Since this is Hardcore Vol. 1, you know there will be a Vol. 2!!!
