Hard To Love by Kendall Ryan

This book was brilliant! I mean, when the beginning of the book starts with "Dammit. I knew a four-hour erection wasn’t normal.", how can it not be? LOL.

Cade’s always taken risks…

Cade takes cares of his sick younger sister by doing what he does best--cage fighting and starring in adult movies, his newest harebrained moneymaking scheme designed to pay for his sister’s growing medical bills. But when his latest gig finds him admitted to the ER sporting an erection from hell, thanks to the little pill given to him by the director, he can’t get the pretty little nurse who treated him out of his head, even though he knows she’s so far out of his league it should be illegal. 

Alexa’s always played it safe…

Tired of being pigeonholed as the sweet, innocent one, hardworking nursing student Alexa has been looking for ways to break out of her Goody Two-shoes image. When her friend suggests the outlandish idea of losing her virginity to the sexy and sure-to-be-skilled porn star, Alexa is mortified. But then when Cade refuses her proposition, she finds herself pissed off and embarrassed. When she tracks him down to give him a piece of her mind, she isn’t prepared for what she finds. Watching him care for his little sister tugs at her heart, and suddenly it’s no longer just about losing her virginity, but about helping Cade. Because Lord help her, she might actually be falling for a porn star…

The storyline is quite typical though. Guy meets girl, intense chemistry between the two. Girl find out he's a porn star. Then girl find out that he's doing it only for his sick sister and she falls in love.

“Life wasn't all fucking sunshine and rainbows. Real life was hard.” 

I must say though, that Cade is quite a character and Alexa, the female lead character, sometimes makes me frustrated (Then again, which female lead doesn't?)

“If I have to sacrifice to give you everything you want, if I have to change who I am, whatever I have to do - tell me. It's done. I can't believe I thought I could live without you.” 

The five stars are really for Cade's sister. SHE IS ADORABLE! And sickeningly sweet. No wonder Alexa falls in love with her after the first time they met. How can anyone ever not?
