If you're a fan of this series, and of this couple, you'll want to read this one. If you haven't read book 1 yet (More than Meets the Ink), you definitely need to read that before diving into this one. This is the lead up to Tate and James's wedding, and it was very sweet and sexy. I never totally warmed up to Tate before as she was a bit too hard and too judgmental for me, but here, we get a softer side of Tate. We see her struggling with left-over grief and guilt, pushing James away because she thinks she doesn't deserve him, and while I might have actually agreed with that before, I found myself really feeling for her. She's so much more likable to me now. I feel that I know her better now, and I feel that she needs James and is worthy of him.The sex is pretty freaking hot in this story. I knew I loved James, really loved him, but he was amped up a notch here. He's still super sexy, all bossy and arrogant, possessive and protective, telling Tate, "You're mine, and I will not give you up. Not today, not tomorrow, not f-ing ever." To me, James is simply divine. I made tons of highlights, the sexy, sweet things he said to Tate. Not only romantic but also scorching hot. The man is a sex machine. Lots of sex in this one, highly erotic and arousing. If you like an excess of dirty talk, then James is your man. I can't get enough dirty talk, and James is genius at it. That, plus sex toys, sex in public, him loving Tate, filling all those needy places in her, the emotional and physical places, was seriously hot and sweet.I enjoyed this continuation of their story, kind of puts a kiss on their HEA. We actually go all the way to the wedding day, and along the way, we get some very sweet news, see favorite characters again (like Christy and Cole from book 2; a bit of what we saw happen then, we see again here from another angle as Tate and James observe), and we also witness more awesome sexual tension between Elle and Jack (cannot wait for that romance to happen!). There are so many characters the author can do stories for. And I really love how this author writes her heroes: alpha all the way, those good bad boys who fall hard and love hard. And James is one of the very best of that type of man. Love him and was happy to be a guest at his wedding. I ended this story just really wanting more of this series. Thought I wanted Max next, but I have to admit I'm jonesing for Jack now.Book 1More than Meets the InkBook 2Heavy Issuesand this new oneInked Ever After
