I waited a few hours to write my review about this book, because I knew that it would be just a lot of angry ranting. Instead, it is some angry ranting written a few hours later. I read this book after reading the 2nd one in the series. I didn't like the 2nd, but figured that the first must have been great to require a sequel with some of the same characters. I was wrong.

The main problem I have with this book is that the author really did not research enough about tattoos. For instance, the lead character: on page 9 he says that he "doesn't do cliche" but yet he's wearing leather all the time and has an eagle tattoo...? I'm so confused, is he a 50 year old biker? I've been to quite a few tattoo shops and I've never seen anyone under the age of 40 dress like that. If Zach doesn't do cliche what in the hell is he doing anyway? Then he draws up a lily, yeah because flowers aren't cliche at all. *eyeroll*

A few other things were just so wrong and out of place. The spiel he gave her about how long tattooing has been around and blah blah blah? Felt like reading wikipedia (the same goes for the care of tattoo part of the book). Also, flash on the walls is always flash, it is never flashes. You do not have flashes on the wall, you have flash. Finally - it is okay to call it a tattoo. No really, it is just fine. You do not have to call it a 'tat' *gag* ever single time. Maybe once or twice is fine, but I swear the only time I saw the word tattoo was in reference to the shop's name.

Okay, the technical things aside - was it a good book? Hell no. I think most of the book was each character constantly questioning what was going on with the relationship just to fill pages. And Jen literally forced Zach into the relationship. She was constantly pushing and nagging at him so much I wanted to slap her. This book would have worked out so much better as a 50 page short story, stretching it out into a book just did not work, in my opinion.

I feel like I could go on for hours, but I won't. Either way, a mega waste of time that I hated reading.

I feel like you know what you’re getting into when with this book, not a single twist 😂

Blaze 168 Jan 2005 Jen wants to change the way her father treats her, so she gets a tatto. Zach is the artist. The story dragged a little with the father/daughter, over protective and rebellion played out between them. Zack has childhood issues to overcome.
