Book Description:
From the back of the book:
Extreme fighter Harley Handleman has an outlook on life as hard as his muscular body. Fate has dealt him a sucker punch--and a low blow, at that. First, there were his failed attempts at the title belt. Then, Harley's mother lost her fight with breast cancer, leaving him with no family but his trainer. Uncle Satch.

Taking a break in the mountains seemed like a good idea. But his vacation isn't nearly as restful as he expected--thanks to his landlady, Anastasia Bradley. Their verbal sparring keeps him on his toes, and the sensual sparks that fly between them would knock out a lesser man. The last thing Harley wants is more complications in his life, so he's determined to keep his distance from the alluring Stasia. But someone else has also noticed Stasia--someone who is putting her life in danger. To protect Stasia, Harley must stay close, but his growing feelings for her may be a bit hard to handle...

If you haven't read this author, be warned that she's pretty graphic when it comes to the bedroom scenes. If I were rating a movie, I would rate this book PG-13 or maybe R as far as romance novels go. If you blush easily, this book isn't for you. If you like a good story and can handle pretty descriptive sensual language, you'll enjoy this book.

This book is AWESOME! I just love to read about the fighers fighting against their own hearts. Impatiently waiting for the next book.

Good, short, steamy read. It has a different cover than the picture, but it's still same book.

Once again another enjoyable read from Foster. While not the depth of storyline some romance novels now embrace, still a very cozy and sensual series.

I love this series. Harley and Anastasia are a great couple and you get to read about the others from the previous books too. The byplay between these 2 characters is great. I hope this isn't the end.

'Hard to Handle' is not really any better or any worse than the others in the SBC Fighters series, just not really riveting. The main plot revolves around Harley Handleman and Stasia, his "life coach" and his issues and various attempts on her life. There's also a secondary romantic plot for Barber, Dakota's musician friend from the previous book, and his new lead singer. All of them end up in Harmony, and there's plenty of interaction with characters from the other titles in the series.

I don't want to say that Lori Foster's most recent books are getting worse and worse, but they're definitely not keeping my interest. She used to have really fun and distinctive characters/plots, but lately all the heroes and heroines are running together (partly because they all keep showing up in books together) and the writing style and dialogue seems almost amateurish. I've been skimming more than really reading them.

Another book in Foster's "SBC" Extreme Fighters series. This is Harley Handleman's story. He is determined to win the title after having had to back down three previous times. When he rents a cabin from Anastasia Bradley things get complicated. He becomes attracted to her, attempts are made on her life and as a life coach, she wants to help him. Typical Foster storyline with some familiar characters from "Simon Says" and "Causing Havoc." Quick read.
