The Purest Hook

‘”Hey Pixie” Then he winked at her. Not just any wink. No, that was his rock star wink. The one that caused panties to drop and heartbeats to race on a global scale.’

The Purest Hook is the third standalone in the Second Circle Tattoos series by Scarlett Cole and after staying up all night to complete it I think I can honestly say that it is my absolute favorite in the series. Full of action, deeply emotional situations and wickedly sexy talk I loved Dred and Pixie’s story from the first page to the last.

‘Shit. They were still at the airport. Struggling to regain his composure, he ran his nose along Pixie’s jaw to her ear.

Fuck all the people going by him in a whirl. Fuck the group of tourist laughing as they walked by. And fuck the Greater Toronto Airport Authority for building the airport so far away from his fucking bed.’

Pixie is the manager at the shop and if Trent and Cujo hadn’t rescued her six years ago when she stumbled into the shop she would still be a junkie on the streets. Running from her past has left her both innocent and over aware of the dangers that can lurk around. Especially from men. So while she is insanely attracted to the famous metal band singer she has yet to fall for Dred’s charm. But her resolve can only last so long, but is Dred ready for the baggage that Pixie brings? Is she ready for his?

‘His kiss consumed her and turned her inside out, leaving her all kinds of raw.’

Dred and his band have been close since they all were in the system together. Each has his own personal demon he is struggling with and Dred is no different. These two have so many issues individually and yet when they come together it all seems to fade away a little bit. They honestly make the other better. I never imagined I would be lusting over a long haired metal playing book boyfriend but leave it to Scarlett Cole to show me what I never knew I wanted. From his gentle way of pursuing the skittish Pixie and the loving way he calls her Snowflake to the way he has power to open her up sexually, Dred is utter perfection.

“Can I help at all?”

“Just don’t give up on me Pixie.”

A delightful mix of emotional scenes and laughable situations The Purest Hook was impossible to put down and distracted me from my day in the best way possible. I am incredibly intrigues by the other men in the band and am beyond excited to hear their stories will be told as well. This book has something for everyone and in my opinion is the best in the series. Scarlett Cole is definitely working her way into my list of favorite authors. Just trust me READ THIS BOOK. As part of the series or as a standalone, but really read this book!

“Play with me , Pix. Please.”
