Tattoo scenes are all the rage. The erotic foreplay of a dangerous guy inking a seemingly innocent girl - well, it doesn't get any hotter than that. But Lauren Blakely puts her own signature twist on this classic scenario, hinting at what's to come without going all the way. These two both have secrets - big secrets - and this novella is a good teaser, leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for the reader to devour.After Harley and Trey's sultry exchange in the tattoo parlor, I gravitated toward their awkward conversation in the coffee shop. I liked how they have absolutely no clue how to date. They're sex addicts who don't know the first thing about the ins and outs of having a real, honest to goodness relationship. He's never felt connected to the older women he sleeps with, and she's never enjoyed the attentions of the men she's paid to entertain. They find themselves at a crossroads ... together.This brief installment surely whets a reader's appetite for more, especially considering their morning after meet-up in a sex addict support group. What a refreshingly different premise for a romance novel, and in the capable hands of Lauren Blakely the rest of Trey and Harley's love story is sure to be good.
