BOOK SYNOPSIS:
After identifying her employer’s dangerous enemies, Jessica Jakes takes refuge at the compound of the Raven Riders Motorcycle Club. Fellow Hard Ink tattooist and Raven leader Ike Young promises to keep Jess safe for as long as it takes, which would be perfect if his close, personal, round-the-clock protection didn’t make it so hard to hide just how much she wants him—and always has.

Ike Young loved and lost a woman in trouble once before. The last thing he needs is alone time with the sexiest and feistiest woman he’s ever known, one he’s purposely kept at a distance for years. Now, Ike’s not sure he can keep his hands or his heart to himself—or that he even wants to anymore. And that means he has to do whatever it takes to hold on to Jess forever.

REVIEW:
3.5 Hearts This was a quick read. I really enjoyed Ike & Jess’ story.
Ike and Jess both have a lot of guilt for things in their past. Things that have kept Ike from following his heart. But with a threat on Jess’ life Ike is thrown into the role of protector. Something that he takes very serious. And he won’t let anyone mess it up even his feeling for the sassy women he is protecting.
What I loved most about this story was that while Jess was in trouble this story focused on the relationship between Ike & Jess. We got to see what really happens when two people are locked up in a cabin out in the middle of nowhere.
Oh and the Pool Table hehehehe…. I will just leave this here for you to think about.
Fans of the Hard Ink series will love Ike & Jess’ story.
