** Part three of a three part serial **
It’s time. Time to tell the truth. Time to face her past and step into her future.
Starting with Van.
Cory will wait to the beat of the ticking clock for him to come back. To see what she’s done and make the final judgment. As much as she holds onto the small hope that he’ll still want her, she’s ready for rejection, ready for the pain. As ready as she can be, at least.
It’s time to make things right, not only with Van, but with Jill. With Jade. With everything.
No more running.

Review
Choices define you. Right or wrong. Good or bad. Decisions shape your life and in order to live with the consequences of those actions, you have to own each and every one, learning from it and coping with the results.
Cory James knows that better than anyone heading into the final volume of Hardcore. Cory felt powerless against Jade and her blackmail and now she has to face the fallout of her thievery, which means breaking the heart of the man she has grown to care for and her own. But despite the pain, shame, and loss that Cory feels, she also rebuilds and redefines herself, becoming a more complete person and realizing that sometimes loyalty and sacrifice come at a pretty big price.
I loved how the final volume in the serial focused on Cory’s personal growth first and then worked on repairing her relationship with Van. It was a slow process, which, at times, was a bit frustrating as a reader, but it had to be that way in order for everyone to be able to move forward.
Staci Hart’s Hardcore serial was an absolute pleasure to experience. The idea of freedom through parkour is an intriguing idea and one that is delivered beautifully. It’s refreshing and innovative, and I can’t wait to see what’s next for Staci Hart.

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life — a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can’t forget that. She’s also been a mom; she has three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She’s been a wife; even though she’s certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She’s also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she’s been drinking whiskey. Her favorite word starts with f and ends with k.
From roots in Houston, to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she’s not writing, she’s sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.
