Plot:  Even if he weren’t the lead singer of the popular college band, Luminescent Juliet, Justin Noel would have his pick of women. And he does pick. Nightly. Tattooed, blonde, and green eyed, he flashes his dimples and females swoon. 

Except for one. 

Tattoo artist, Allie Landon, rarely dates, and especially not men like Justin. Though he’s hot enough to melt off permanent ink, she’s done with the bad boy type. But when the ex who broke her heart wants to reunite, desperation has Allie introducing her latest client as her boyfriend. Justin’s more than happy to play the part. He’s completely intrigued by the sexy artist and college student. 

However, Allie’s life isn’t what it seems. There’s little room in it or her shattered and confused heart for Justin. But as Justin remains persistent, ignoring the growing attraction—both physical and emotionally—between them becomes more difficult than tattoo removal.

*New Adult. Recommended for mature readers due to language, drug references, and sexual situations.

MY REVIEW:

 

"Love isn't fear. It's courage"

The good: A nice, decent read!

My thoughts: Over all, I really liked this book. I love books that intertwine music, awesome heroines, and tattoos as the main elements in the story.

Coming into this, I thought that all I was going to see was:
 1) this cocky, womanizing playboy who gorges himself on loose women
 2) falls in love with the main girl at "first sight"
 3) then his groupies start showing up and start being an issue
 4) drama and lots of push and pull
 5) and then happily ever after

BUT, for once I was wrong and was pleasantly surprised with the direction of this story!... I thought that the characterizations of Justin and Allie were a complete joy and was practically rooting for them the entire way!

Justin is such a lovable character could have any woman he wants. But because this is a book with romance as one of the key factors, this is not the case as he only wants Allie after he sees her at her tattoo shop and falls hard and fast for her.

 Allie, with all the crap she's been through within her young 21 years is a strong female heroine that I could admire. She never annoyed me once throughout the entire time of the story and was utterly practical, real, and totally understandable to relate to. This girl just needs a break in life and some joy.

SO, MY VERDICT: A MUST read if you happened to like the first book, In the Band!! I enjoyed every minute from start to finish and I hope that you do too!
