ARC received from Forever (Grand Central) via Netgalley for an honest review

I have read quite a few Lauren Dane books in the past, so it was great to get in early with the first book in her new Ink and Chrome series.

PJ is my kind of woman. Tattoos, piercings, pretty much the black sheep of her family.

Asa is the sexy, older man who fills her thoughts and dreams. Work keeps their paths crossing, and as much as he wants her too, he keeps telling himself - and PJ - that he is not the man for her.

It took me a little while to really warm up to Asa, but when I did, I could completely understand PJ's attraction to him, and could see the heart he is trying so hard to hide.

Oh Asa, why did you even try to fight things?

Every time PJ and Asa are in the same room, you could cut the UST with a knife! I swear, everyone within a mile could see it, could feel it.

I adored how they tried to keep their relationship all "friends without benefits". Blind Freddy could see that this was never going to be an option!

So, can PJ and Asa have their HEA? Nope, you are going to have to read for yourself.

Ms Dane has a way of writing a sweet, sexy romance. There are no huge OMG twist and turn moments. I loved the writing, the story was evenly paced and flowed well. We kind of know what we are going to get in the end, and it is an enjoyable ride to take.
