Nyrae Dawn has crafted another brilliantly emotional and heart-felt read. The Games Series has certified Nyrae Dawn at the top of the New Adult genre. She is my go to writer when it comes to male characters that I love and female characters that I root for.We briefly met Maddox in Facade. He was a seemingly closed off character that had shut off his emotions. The only thing he seemed to care for was his sister. His life is filled with a job he doesn't care about and meaningless one night stands. But behind his gruff exterior Maddox his hiding his passion for tattooing. It is the one thing in life that he can muster up any sort of excitement for.Bee is the kind of character I love reading about. She is one fiery, attitude-filled, no nonsense tattoo artist. She gives as good as she gets. I loved seeing a female character who didn't take crap from anyone. But her kick-ass attitude hides a past that she is still hasn't come to grips with.Both Maddox and Bee are looking for an impersonal and hot one night stand when they find each other. They both have happy to use each other and say goodbye forever. But fate thrusts them back at each other just as quick when Maddox finds out Bee is the owner of the tattoo parlor he wants to apprentice at. Bee grudgingly takes on but they both agree to strictly professional work relationship. But how long can they deny the chemistry between them and how long can they keep on pretending their relationship is only professional?Bee and Maddox are both so broken and damaged. Neither of them can accept themselves much less accept another person into their lives. As the story developed you begin to learn why they both erected these walls around themselves. My heart ached for the both of them.Nyrae Dawn proves again why she is one of my favorite writers. Each time I read I new book from her I fall in love with one of her characters. Her characters always find a way to connect with me in a way that few can. If you have not read a Nyrae Dawn book please stop what you are doing and start reading one now!
