2/5

I’m pretty disappointed I end up not liking it. This book has almost every possible trope I love, age gap, tattoo artist who looks like a hot and tall lumberjack, enemies to lovers, forced proximity and found family. Unfortunately, somehow it didn’t worked out for me here. 

My major problem here are the main characters. They weren’t that bad, but there was some things they did which made me want to slap them in their face. Mainly, Fox. This man couldn’t freaking decided if he wanted to be with Janie or not. Once he was saying she is his, then he was saying he doesn’t want to be her boyfriend. He was forty-three, never have been in a serious relationship which should be a red flag and still couldn’t decide? I know he has some trauma, because his family was terrible, but he was a grown ass man. He had some sweet, swoon worthy moments, but his reluctance killed me. 

Jenny was a very popular influencer, who inherited her father’s tattoo studio and decided to work there a year with the guys and Fox. I liked that she could stand up to Fox, and their bickering was funny at times, but there were some moments when she needed to get a grip. I wanted to scream at her when she decided to give her ex a chance when he cheated on her with many women, and she meet with him on her birthday. Girl. Have. Some. Respect. He was an influencer and acted like a boy who uploads TikTok every day and thinks it’s cool.


I love the idea of ​​a tattoo parlor and a group of tattoo artists working there who find their love, so I will definitely continue this series. Can't wait to read about Atlas and Lauren!
