The story came alive so vividly in my mind. Honestly though, the first thing that struck me when I started reading was just how strong the writing was. “Mm-hmm.” My lips moved over her cheek to her ear. “Didn’t I tell you about the fine print?” I asked, working a knew between her thighs. “I thought you said just one time.” Her hands slid under my shirt… He couldn’t stay away, but also didn’t want to give up the chance to ink her with the design she’d entrusted him with. It’s like herding a cat.”Īnd now throw in a dash of forbidden romance into this mix too because Hayden had a strict rule never to sleep with clients and the girl he was falling for had just asked him to tattoo her. “You would have if there hadn’t been witnesses present… I don’t even know why I bother with you. Then you ruined it when you got all up in her space and tried to dry hump her.”

But I almost convinced her to bring it by so you could have a look. It was sexy and steamy, but it also had a darker angsty side that gave it deeper emotional depth, and at the same time, there were so many scenes were just light-hearted and sweet to break everything up. This was a nice long book with a really great balance of all the feels. It was like my body knew what it needed and my brain was working to catch up.” They were drawn to each other and just couldn’t stay away. She knew he was keeping secrets about his past but she also sensed that he understood her pain on a deeper level. “The darkness in it told me there was a story I should know.” He was attracted to her, felt protective of her her, and they had this connection he couldn’t ignore. He wanted to get to know her more, and could sense that the tattoo was a representation of her pain… He ran a tattoo parlor and was intrigued when the girl from across the street who he couldn’t stop thinking about showed him a hauntingly beautiful, intricate tattoo design that she wanted him to ink onto her. The hero, Hayden, was a tall, dark, mysterious guy covered in tattoos that told the story of his painful past. It felt fresh, the story was engaging, and I really didn’t want to put it down. Yes, you can say that that type of story has been done before, but the way this author wrote this story gave it a unique spin that really made it standout in my eyes. This is a stories about two broken people falling in love. And it’s somewhere between New Adult and Adult in terms of steam. It’s also the first book of a complete 2-book series so there’s no waiting between books!! (*squee*).

I know a few of you were asking about this, but I promise it’s all real-world. It was one of those ones I’d had on my TBR since the day it came out but for some reason, I just didn’t get around to reading it until now and I’m SO glad I finally did because this is going on my favorites list!!įirst thing, this is a contemporary romance (not paranormal in any way). If we’re lucky, they’re only on the outside.”
