    Angsty goodness
  

*by L***H on Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2019*

CW: breast cancer4.5 stars. This was a fantastic FF romance between a tattoo shop owner and her apprentice. MJ is a total badass and a great foil to people pleaser Cassie.Cassie is in remission from breast cancer (triple negative breast cancer). She was being mentored by MJ’s old mentor Zan but then Zan died from breast cancer (invasive inductal) and essentially told Cassie to finish her apprenticeship with MJ. MJ is very skeptical about Cassie, in a lesson of why you shouldn’t judge people by their appearances. Cassie may not look like a tattooer in her cardigans and good girl looks but she’s a talented artist who could be ready to tattoo on her own. However, Cassie wants to wait until May when she will officially be in remission. Cassie is in the process of reclaiming her life and everything cancer treatment took from her, including her sexuality.Cassie and MJ both have a lot to teach each other. Cassie is learning not to be such a people pleaser and how to take risks. MJ, on the other hand, needs help with updating her business and with learning how to trust again, after her ex-partner left Thorn & Thistle suddenly. They both have issues with their fathers and it was interesting to see them work through that.The strongest arc of the book was Cassie empowering herself. She already has a tattoo over her mastectomy scars but she needs to reclaim the rest of her body and see what she’s capable now. Part of that is through her relationship with MJ but it’s also in discovering her voice, really for the first time in her life. She also needs to learn how to let other people be there for her, not easy since her ex-girlfriend broke up with her shortly after she was diagnosed. MJ is highly invested in making sure Cassie takes care of herself and proving she’ll be there for her, no matter what. This was marvelous.There are a couple of threads that are left unaddressed. We never fully learn why MJ’s ex-partner left the business or why she tried to sabotage the business. Even once she’s confronted, her actions didn’t make a whole lot of sense and it veered a little too much into Evil Ex territory for my preference. But it didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the story overall.I did question one aspect of MJ’s portrayal. She’s mentioned as having “brown skin.” I think MJ is Latina but there wasn’t an indicator besides her last name and that her brother’s name is Javier. She’s from Arizona, which has a large Latinx population. Maybe she is Latina and it doesn’t mean anything to her but the representation isn’t as nuanced as what I’m used to compared to books written by Latinx writers.This had the perfect amount of angst and a great pairing of two opposites. I look forward to what Davids does next!CW: breast cancer, grief, death of a loved one, parental abandonment, parental estrangement after coming out, homophobia

    Surprising
  

*by V***H on Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2020*

Based on the synopsis, this seemed like a book I’d enjoy reading. Then I see that it’s published by a division of Harlequin romances and thinking, “yeah, not sure I can do this...”. Surprisingly, it was quite good and I’m glad that didn’t dissuade me. It’s definitely not the bodice ripper I feared. Lol

    What a Wonderful Book!!
  

*by H***L on Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2023*

Love Love Loved this book! Highly recommend! It was so so well written. The character growth was just perfect and extraordinary! And beautiful. Both MCs are wonderfully flawed and so very relatable. Steamy spice was on point, swoon worthy and meaningful.If butch/femme, tattoos, sexy times, badass FMCs, finding strength in yourself as well as others, really good writing and more are of interest then definitely definitely read this book!
