INSTANT ATTRACTION IS A POWERFUL THING.

Six months of dancing around each other led to one explosive night and two weeks without a word.

Only then did I learn the truth: The man I’d wanted since he walked into Sailor’s Grave Tattoo Parlor was actually an undercover cop.

And the worst part is, I don’t even know his real name.

BUT WHAT IF ATTRACTION ISN’T ENOUGH

For over eight months I held back. Except for that one night when I couldn’t fight it anymore. I’d wanted her from the beginning, but I should have kept waiting until my secrets weren’t between us.

Now, I have the ultimate challenge before me: Convince the inked goddess of a receptionist to at least let me keep her safe, even if she won’t give me another chance.

Inked by Drew Elyse

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When i picked up this book, i was sure i was about to read a book that was following a new series i was instantly hooked on. And lo and behold, turns out that the joke was on me because i had mixed two series, only i had only read one previous book by Drew Elyse in the past.

The previous book i had read, Engage, was different in the sense that when i read it, it felt like as though this author was just starting to spread her wings and really find out what she's capable of spinning as tales. I looked forward to getting back to her stories in the future and quite honestly, which makes me sad to say, i had forgotten about that book.

On the flip side, Inked was, wow. It's a complete 180 from what i've seen from Drew Elyse in the past and there were no hesitations. Her characters are strong, engaging, absolutely mesmerizing. And the best part? Unforgettable. I didn't want to stop reading this book. I truly wanted to keep going and since i had been in a book funk, where none of the books were getting me, or rather, i wasn't getting the story lines, from the very start, i was hooked.

This is no wallflower that is simpering in the corner and waiting for the strong alpha male to make his move. On the contrary - here is a woman that i wish my own daughter aspires to be. Willing to take chances, puts herself out there and has an entire 'village' at her back, ready to lay down their lives to make sure she's safe. Never would i wish what happens to these characters to happen to anyone else, but it truly showed just how resilient they are.

I looked forward to being able to read after a long day at work and a longer evening having to 'adult'. And one thing is for sure, the Sailor's Grave series is really entertaining and exactly what i needed to get out of the book funk i was going through.
