Buy Links:
Synopsis:


Raelyn Jennings has survived the unthinkable. She’s been given a second chance to live, to breathe, to feel. Her ability to overcome such a traumatic hurdle has created armor around her heart. But beyond her shield is fear, a consuming deep one, of the unknown. Raelyn vows to herself that she’ll solely focus on the one constant in her life, her career as the CEO for a prestigious accounting firm.
Damien Heathman’s unrelenting determination has made him a powerful, respected man. He’s sexy and confident and utterly breathtaking. His dominance and strength is evident in every purposeful stride, every meaningful look, and every soft caress. 
Raelyn has worked with Damien’s company, Heathman Enterprises, for many years, but they’ve never crossed paths—until now. 
Damien’s presence fills a room. He steals Raelyn’s breath and sparks her broken heart back to life. Once Damien sets eyes on Raelyn, there is no turning back. He wants her, and he’ll stop at nothing to have her. Not even the dark secrets hidden behind his tattoos will stand in his way. 
The chemistry is undeniable. The passion is palpable.
Can Damien convince Raelyn that he is worth the risk? Or will Raelyn allow her past to control her future, feeling the chance of another heartache is too great to bear?

Favorite Quotes:


“One minute, Iris could be the sweet person someone had ever met, and the next, she would be a complete hard-ass.  She was a teddy bear with a grizzly bear heart.”

“I felt like I was in high school on my first date again.  Only this time, I didn’t have braces and untamed bangs.”

“Those gray eyes burned into mine, and then he kissed me so reverently that I thought my own heart might stop beating.”

“Damien wasn’t a man of many words, yet the few had spoken touched me in a way that no one had ever done before.”

My Review:


Tattooed Emotions was considerably angsty and a much heavier read than I was anticipating, I guess I should have expected that since the word “Emotions” is in the title.  The story was well detailed, interesting, and a bit frustrating.  This couple does not communicate well and hold back significant secrets from each other.  But when they are in alignment it is enjoyable, sweet, and steamy.  One item that continues to prod at me is the character’s love of toast with both butter and peanut butter, I have never heard of that before, yet cannot bring myself to try it.

*Book 6 in The Beautiful Series or Standalone* All Blake Johnson knows is the life of a Marine. After serving his country for eight years, he returns to his family for some rest and rehabilitation. Fighting an internal war, he battles sleepless nights as images of his former military days haunt him. From the moment Audrey Hampton walks into his life, he is drawn to her. Her beauty leaves him breathless and weak in the knees. She kindles a spark of hope deep within his soul, igniting a part of himself he feared was missing. Her never-ending compassion for others opens his heart in a way he never dreamed. But Audrey is hiding wounds of her own. Returning to Lake Tahoe to care for her ill mother triggers painful childhood memories of her parents’ loveless marriage, reminding her there is no such thing as true love. Will Blake’s resolve be powerful enough to open Audrey’s sealed heart? Or will Audrey fear the past and risk losing the man who could give her life a new found purpose? Can two wounded souls become one?

Favorite Quotes:

“‘Nothing compares to this Audrey,’  I said, unable to hold back.  ‘Nothing has ever made me feel the way I do when I’m with you.  You’re all I see.’” 

“You have made me smile, love, and even dream a life full of love.  It is beyond anything I could have ever imagined for myself.  You are my one and only for eternity.”

“‘Love doesn’t need a calendar or a clock, Audrey,’  Lily chimed in.  ‘It just needs two people to take a leap of faith and follow their hearts.’”

 

My Review:

This may be the sixth book in the series, but it is my second read from the Alicia Rae Beautiful series.  Another sweet story of finding love when those involved are not looking for it, expecting it, or even aware they needed it.  Swoon, I am totally besotted with Blake, although admittedly, I know such a man is a total fantasy as he is really just too good to be true.  I appreciate and enjoy the fact that her books are stand-alone volumes, yet we continue to hear about some of the characters from previous books.  Her writing is easy to follow, heartfelt, and serves up some steam to go with those hunky heroes – all of which I find ever so tasty.
