No that is not the start to a bad joke, it's the start to your next smexy fantasy featuring Talan, the dirty hottie, make you want to lick him, tattoo artist that is the center of this delicious little series starter. So Talan is a man-whore, yes this is pretty clear from the beginning but he is one of those man-whores you can't help but dream about getting in your bedroom despite his reputation, he is delectable and in Marking Her he meets not only the woman of his dreams but his mental match.Maya aka Bitty which is Talan's term of endearment for her, is a spunky 20yr old college student. She is full of vibrance, intelligence and man can she put you in your place.Damsel in distress in this book? No no, Maya is just about as feisty, balls to the walls and tough as her counterpart. She gives Talan a challenge to his skills department as well as his boundaries on relationships and what does Talan give her in return? Sexual Frustration, yes that is exactly what he does.  Talan and Bitty decide to take things slow in the book and that is exactly what happens and guess what I loved it. It was a breath of fresh air that these two were not humping each other and proclaiming their undying love 20 pages in especially since the book itself is not too long. Elena gives us a relationship that we can actually relate too. Its up and down, confusing, new, fun, nerve-racking, intense and REAL. Talan and Maya have their moments of flaming attraction and their moments of genuine tenderness where you can see how their relationship is developing into something more.I think this is a great start to the series. The male POV is done well and I like the pace and flow of the story. I would have liked a little more background into the characters, maybe some more info on not just Talan's past but Maya's as well. I am also very curious of the supporting characters like Esther, Simon, Lance and Veronica and I am excited to see how their stories may develop through out this series.
