Iris goes to live with her half brother Sonny when she loses her job and has no where else to turn. He gets her a job working as the receptionist at a tattoo parlor owned by Dex, one of the guys in his MC club. At first Dex is grumpy and impatient and says something ugly about Iris that she over hears. It was rude and hurt her feelings, but we hear her complain about it and sulk for longer than necessary. Even after he sincerely apologizes, she still acts like a child. Issues come up regarding her deadbeat dad where her life is put in danger and Sonny has her stay with Dex while he goes in search of their dad. She and Dex develop an easy friendship which gradually becomes more. This is a long book, (but beats the heck out of having to read a trilogy to get a complete story). So we get to watch their relationship grow and fall in love with the over protective Dex the whole time. The man is hot! Tattoos, multiple piercings, motorcycle, honest, loyal, so many positives that override his negative bad temper. But we learn that if he's mad, it's for a really good reason, and Iris' life being in danger is a pretty good reason.Iris was my only complaint with this book. I thought for being twenty-three years old, she whinned too much and was too naive. But its not bad enough that you don't enjoy the book. It just got old. Then a couple of times she lied or withheld the truth about stuff she knew better than to lie about, which caused Dex to get mad, which caused her to get her feelings hurt again. But it moves smoothly through these issues and isn't major.Loved the secondary characters who worked at the tattoo shop. Even the MC character were all good. This isn't a bloody MC book. It's more of a love story about meeting your other half and discovering life long love. While dealing with some conflict along the way.Really enjoyed it. Even though it is long, it didn't feel that way. The whole story is told from Iris' POV.
