Review: INKED by Drew Elyse!

My Review: This was so, so close to 4 stars. So nearly there, I almost changed my rating, but it just didn't feel right. I'll explain why in a few. First, what I liked! This is a good, well-told story. The kind you can just sink into when you need to escape. The author does a great job at characterization, the build-up to the suspense was well done, and you could practically see the sparks when the hero and heroine were together.

Now, for what didn't jive with me. I felt like I was cheated. There wasn't enough of that sweet build up - in fact, these two have already known each other for some time when the book starts. I wanted to see that flash of the first connection, the burn as they get closer... But alas, that's not what I got. I did still get a good read, but it just felt a little lacking. Still, I'd gladly read more by this author!

Cover Lovin': Hot!

Recommendation: Works as a stand-alone.

Final Rating: THREE AND A HALF out of FIVE stars (3.5/5)!! Good, but the one problem I did have bothered me enough that I was a little grumbly. Still well worth the read!

About INKED

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.
