This was a beautifully written story. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. The only reason I'm giving this a 4 star rating is because it went a bit fast for me and the drama took only half of the last chapter. I wish there would have been more drama before that adorable ending.
Tor is an artist in every sense. He is well known for his work as a tattoo artist and specializes in 3-D designs. He has looks and smarts to boot and he's a tender guy. Everything about Tor is dreamy.
Marnie is a woman with a difficult past and terrible boyfriend. The way she grew up, the things that happened and the people who let her down definitely scarred her in many ways. She became guarded and started to look at herself as ugly. She was a beautiful woman who simply needed someone to give her the affection she was never shown or given.
The romance was freaking perfect! There wasn't any insta-love, but definitely lust. They immediately felt a physical attraction and connection to one another and even though they had their doubts they knew they wanted to make things work. I loved that they took things slow and really had a solid friendship in the midst of building a relationship. The trust between them was amazing. I adored these two.
Ethan was a straight bastard. I hated how he controlled Marnie and how he belittled her. The way he tried to dominate her was insane. Finding her and still being douche bag was insane. I'm glad he did get his ass beat though. He earned it.
I totally enjoyed and recommend!
**I received a copy of Wicked Seduction from Net Galley and Entangled Publishing in exchange for a honest and voluntary review**
Wicked Seduction by Tina Donahue is the fourth book in the authors Wicked Delights series. I haven't read any of the other books in the series I didn't have any problems reading this as a stand alone. This is a very quick read but I just couldn't get into the story as well as I'd like to, so I'd give the book a 3.5 star review.
Marnie wants to work up courage to have her scars made into something pretty and goes to Wicked Brand Tattoos but first she has to walk into the shop. When she finally meets Tor she explains why she want to put her past behind her. Even though she's also fleeing her former boyfriend, she feels an attraction to Tor almost immediately. I realize this was shelved as Erotica but really its not both the h/h dabble into some BDSM but its not a huge part of the story.
Tor has seen Marnie pause in from the the window several times and also starts to have an attraction to her but it's when she shows her scars that he decides he can design a tattoo to help Marnie move on with her life. He'll also be there when the ex-boyfriend starts to terrorize her once again.
What gave the story the extra .5 stars was Marnie's boss Alice who owns the store where she lives and works. Alice is a hopeless romantic and knows somehow that both Marnie and Tor should be together. I just wish the story had a bit more pizazz.
I enjoyed reading this book immensely! I loved the premise of Tor helping Marnie gain back her confidence and strength through the process of getting her tattoo. Their chemistry was beautiful and wonderful!
I would love to get a tattoo, if I could get one like the ones I imagine Tor can create. They actually sound sexy when he explains them to Marnie. Marnie has already started healing from the experiences that brought her to Tor for a tattoo. She is ready to move on, and if getting sexy and kinky with Tor will help, well who is he to turn her down. I really enjoyed, Wicked Seduction.
