FORD: SLACK/TAUT IS A STANDALONE BUNDLE - you do NOT have to read any of the Rook and Ronin books first.
SLACK
Ford Aston is not too picky about what he wants out of Christmas. He's not into this holiday--like at all. He doesn't do presents, or family dinners, or parties, or church.
He does pets. And he's got one lined up for Christmas Eve. In fact, it's the highlight of his day. And if he can get through drop-in visits, nosy twelve year olds, an inappropriate conversation with his best friend's girlfriend, dinner with a family that's not his, and a party at his mother's house--well, he might just get home in time to enjoy himself with a stranger and make it all OK.

TAUT
Ford Aston is known for many things. Being an emotionless, messed up bastard, a freakishly smart social outcast, and a cold, domineering master who keeps "pets" instead of girlfriends.
And after Rook broke his heart, he plans to keep it that way.
Ashleigh is known for nothing, and that's exactly what she's got going for her. She's broke, stranded in the mountains with a three month old baby, and Ford Aston is screwing with her head.
Big. Time.
And she plans to mess with his right back.
It's a coy game at first, filled with flirting, and innuendo--but Ford soon realizes something is not quite right with Ashleigh. In fact, something is seriously, seriously wrong and the closer they get to their final destination, the closer Ford gets to the truth.
One night of devastation, self-loathing, and emptiness turns into the best thing that ever happened to Ford Aston. But one day of in-your-face reality threatens Ashleigh's whole existence.

***************
Ford is very very handsome but he has some quirks that are hard to over look. After reading "Slack" I came to the conclusion that Ford is just a jerk. He has valid issues but still he is just cruel.
During "Taut" more of Fords life unfolds. He is taken back by Ashleigh and she gives as good as she gets. His walls come down and he finds himself doing things he never thought he would do. I think he was just waiting for the right women. As for Ashleigh I love that Ford didn't think she was beautiful off the bat. The more time he spent with her the more beautiful she became to him. Her story is tragic, sad & heart breaking. She just wants to be rescued, loved and aloud to just be. When she is sudden ripped from Fords life he is ready to fight to get her back. Some hot, steamy, spicy sex. Fabulous ending.
*I did not Tragic, Manic or Panic (Rook & Ronin's story) but after reading this book I want to know their story.

I read all of this series and I thought that they were really well done! Ford would sound very hard and "difficult" but the other books give insight into that. You definitely want to know what happens with him and Huss did a great job of it too! Thanks for your review :O)
