The chosen family members at Get Ink’d are all partnering up and this time it’s Mateo’s and Bryan’s turn to get their story told. And what a wonderful workplace romance it is. Bryan is coming out of a less than ideal relationship and when things turn physical Mateo’s protective instincts kick in.
They are really likeable characters who have both had to overcome negative situations that greatly impacted their lives.

I enjoyed watching Bryan coming into his own person, gaining much needed self confidence and no longer requiring a protector or provider. Leading to an equal partnership with Mateo. They don’t instantly acknowledge the simmering chemistry between them but when they do there’s plenty of heat filled steamy moments. With their lives being pulled in many different directions and stress levels rising, a significant stumbling block needs to be negotiated before they get their HEA.

This is an enjoyable, engaging read that flowed along nicely with interesting side characters, minimal angst and concludes with a sneak peek at the next instalment.
