Review: Great as a stand alone even though it's part of a series

I should note that this is book 2 in the series, but I haven't read book 1. A lot of times even if book 2 is supposed to be a stand alone, you feel like you're missing something about the characters. That is NOT true with this book at all. You can definitely read this as a stand alone and not feel like there should be more. Although, now that I know there is another book, I'm off to get it.There's one word I would use to describe Justin, a member of Luminescent Juliet... persistent. Allie made it more than clear that she didn't date clients, but he kept trying to find ways to see her again. One day, he finally got lucky. He happened to be in the shop when Allie's ex showed up and Allie's desperate enough to show him she has moved on that she pretends that Justin is her new boyfriend.The two of them are like night and day. Justin is carefree, doesn't seem to take anything seriously. He flirts with freshmen to get them to do everything including his homework and even his laundry. Although he's in college, he seems to be in it more for the girls and the parties. Allie, on the other had, has more responsibilities than a girl her age. Many people depend on her since she's the co-owner of the tattoo shop.I really enjoyed watching them make each other better people. Justin became more responsible (since the freshmen weren't getting the attention they did before, they quit doing his dirty work so he had to do that himself). Allie took more time to relax and enjoy life.This was a great love story. I enjoyed every moment of it.I received this eARC from the author in exchange for an honest review through AToMR Tours.
