Cassie decides to leave her steady job to pursue a new passion, giving tattoos to cancer survivors like herself. She's almost ready to take off on her own, but until she reaches her five year cancer free milestone, she isn't willing to take the leap.

She gets a job at a struggling tattoo shop under the tutelage of MJ Flores, agreeing to learn the trade in exchange for help MJ with a new marketing plan. What Cassie isn't expecting is to have feelings for MJ, as Cassie has been on a strict no sex and no relationship regime since her diagnosis, since her mastectomy.

MJ also wasn't expecting to fall for such a "good girl" but as she discovers Cassie's hidden strengths she can't help but want to also show Cassie what life can be, fear be damned.

I've read a few tattoo shop romances, but this is my first with a queer couple! I really enjoyed it, especially for the tender way the author handles the love scenes. I haven't read many other romances that feature a character with a mastectomy, and it is nice to see that represented on page.

I received an ARC in exchange for a fair review, thank you to the publisher!
