Love sucks.Or so Vanessa thought—until she met sexy tattoo artist, Rex Grayson.Vanessa grew up in a home where the only affection she found came from the babysitter. This left her jaded and jilted, and skewed her outlook on love. Never witnessing it for herself, Vanessa truly believed love didn’t really exist.After every woman who was supposed to love and care of him as a child proved to be untrustworthy, Rex closed himself off from women. He looked at them for one purpose and one purpose only—to fill his sexual needs.Rex and Vanessa have an instant attraction upon meeting, but neither is looking for more than an easy hook-up. But what begins as casual sex slowly morphs into something more lasting as both realize the other is exactly what they didn’t know they were looking for.This book had so many layers. The character development was so good. Rex’s backstory brought me to tears more than once. And the love story that develops feels real. The ups and downs are natural and I found myself being angry alongside Vanessa, and aching for the pain Rex felt. As usual, Beth’s writing was smooth and eloquent. And the HEA at the end left a smile on my face.
