Let's be honest, most of the time when you're reading a book like this, the steamy scenes are what's really important. Or maybe that's just me? Anyway, the love scenes in this book were just fine, but the characters just didn't sell it for me. For a strong, independent woman, Joe sure is wishy-washy. I also don't really like the kid factor in a hot, sexy book. It just deflates me. This story could have used some careful editing, and more consistent character development, but it was enjoyable for what it was.

Josephina/Joe was more drunk then she had been in a long time. Joe felt horrible the next morning. Joe had a five year old daughter Starla who Joes mother apparently took Starla out to breakfast which means she would be hearing about it later. Joe was a successful tattoo artist at INKapable. Joe keeps her week very structured with what she has to do but Saturday night is for Joe even when she comes home bruised up and Starla goes to granny to find out what bad person hurt hrt mommy so she could go to the policeman. Starla’s father Christoph had left the day Joe told him she was pregnant. He didn’t see his daughter or give any kind of support. He had broken Joe’s heart and she refused to take a chance again. Joe went to the club Indecisive on most Saturday nights with her coworkers. The club was for people like her who had a preference for firmer, kinkier sexual interactions. Joe’s few submissive hours at the club are what held her together all week. Nathan was Joe’s neighbor and he carried her groceries for her. It would have taken her two difficult trips but Joe wouldn’t let Nathan know that. Nathan’s powerful frame moved so gracefully with so much self assurance, that Joe felt drawn to Nathan in a way she hadn’t felt to another person in a long time. No, what she needed from a man was purely physical and Joe could get that from the club. Nathan was an Alpha male but also had a gentle personality. That Joe couldn’t help but be drawn to. Joe wants to keep Nathan at arms length and their relationship only be physical. She couldn’t be hurt again, Christoph had shattered her.
I enjoyed this book . It was a quick and easy read. I liked the pace and plot. I loved Nahan and Joe together. I loved how Nathan gave Joe what she needed yet still kept his gentleness. I advise you to read the first book in this series for a smooth read. At times I felt like shaking some sense into Joe about Nathan but understood her urgent caution. I loved how Joe’s mom was so worried about her but still watched Starla so Joe could go out on Saturdays and get what she needed. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I recommend.

4.5. stars- A story that is full of a roller coaster of emotions. The character in this book was so strong and independent. I thought the author did a fantastic job keeping the readers engrossed in the story. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read this book and write about it.

This was an entertaining read but I felt like there was a lot missing. I liked the characters and wanted to know more about them but it seemed like the story ended too quickly.

This is a short and sweet story, though decidedly lacking in continuity. The MC’s feelings seemed to turn on a dime and I just didn’t buy it. The characters’ names were mixed up a few times as well, which made some scenes confusing.

I received a free ARC via NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.

I enjoyed this book.

It was a quick and easy read that had just a little bit of angst mixed with hot scenes.

This was the first book in the series that I have read but I still definitely be looking into the other books now.
