Summary

Five dishonored soldiers.
Former Special Forces.
One last mission.
These are the men of Hard Ink.

Trouble just walked into Nicholas Rixey's tattoo parlor. Becca Merritt is warm, sexy, wholesome, pure temptation to a very jaded Nick. He's left his military life behind to become co-owner of Hard Ink Tattoo, but Becca is his ex-commander's daughter. Loyalty won't let him turn her away. Lust has plenty to do with it too.

With her brother presumed kidnapped, Becca needs Nick. She just wasn't expecting to want him so much. As their investigation turns into all-out war with an organized crime ring, only Nick can protect her. And only Becca can heal the scars no one else sees.

Desire is the easy part. Love is as hard as it gets. Good thing Nick is always up for a challenge . . .

Sooooo good

Any additional comments?

Absolutely loved this audio. Becca's brother is missing and she goes to Nick for help. Nick was in the Special Forces with Becca's brother and part owns and works in a tattoo studio. They team up to try and find Becca's brother. Love, lust and intrigue. Thoroughly enjoyable with lots of sexual chemistry.

Were we talking about the same book?

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

convincing plot and characters maybe?

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Trying to compensate for lack of material? Over enthusiasm and melodramatic acting just gets trying after a while.

Any additional comments?

I read the reviews for this and can't believe it is the same book. Very hackneyed and over-sentimentalized characters with little development, especially the characters other than the 'main two'. Unconvincing plot - I kept listening, waiting for it to bet better. It didn't, and ended partway through the plotline, obviously so you would buy the next book. I won't be doing so.
