boyfriend when you can have all four?
The Strongest Steel
Harper Connelly never expected to find herself outside of a tattoo
parlor at one in the morning. The scars that decorate her back are just one
more reminder of things she'd rather forget, the past she wants to leave far
behind her, but before she can move on, she needs him. Trent Andrews has his
own reasons for specializing in inking over scars. And there's no way in hell
he's going to turn Harper away. Being with Harper is like going ten rounds in
the ring—exhilarating, powerful, and dangerous. She stirs feelings in him he
thought were long gone... if he can only get past her carefully constructed
defenses.
The Fractured Heart
Tattoo artist Brody "Cujo" Matthews knows how to keep things
simple. In life and in love.That all changes when he meets Drea Caron, the
definition of high maintenance and sizzling curves. And the one woman he
doesn’t want to walk away from. Andrea "Drea" Caron is broke and
tired. After years of caring for her ailing mom, she's at the end of her rope
trying to manage the piling medical bills, two jobs, and a life placed on hold.
She certainly doesn’t need the added frustration of a sexy playboy tattoo
artist messing up her carefully balanced life. Too bad the universe has other
ideas.
The Purest Hook
Rugged, hot, and rock hard, Dred Zander is exactly the type of man that
normally sends Pixie running. Not dreaming about running her hands down his
washboard abs...and lower. The lead singer and guitarist for the band Preload
embodies trouble behind his quick smile and guarded eyes, and Pixie left
trouble behind her years ago along with the name Sarah Jane Travers and the
pathetic trailer her mom called home. But Dred has other ideas. Pixie's sweet
hazel eyes, purple hair and kaleidoscopic tattoo of exotic flowers that swirl
up her arm haunt his dreams, and he's ready to fight like hell to keep that
feeling.
The Darkest Link
When her car breaks down off the side of a lonely highway far from her
sunny Miami home, tattoo artist Lia never expected her very own white knight to
ride up on the back of a barely street-legal motorcycle...and she never
expected to fall for her dark savior. A bruised heart Lia is not looking for
forever, and the hot mechanic, with his sexy scruff and shaggy hair, is simply
impossible to resist. He's the perfect candidate for a mind-blowingly-perfect,
no-strings-attached one-night stand. But when their fling becomes something
more and Reid surprises her at her tattoo studio, Second Circle Tattoos, he's
in for a shock—and a fist to the face—when his past and present collide.
Exclusive excerpt:
"So, I don't want you to get
mad, Shortcake, but I have a surprise for you," Cujo said. Nervously, he
ran his hand through his blond hair as the opulent elevator of the Bellagio
hotel in Las Vegas took him and his unsuspecting soon-to-be fiancée up to their
room. He studied Drea's hazel eyes. Eyes that lit up when she smiled, that
became red and blotchy when she cried, and went wide when she came apart in his
arms like she had in bed that morning. Right now they looked at him
suspiciously.
"More of a surprise than this
morning when you woke me and told me I had an hour to pack and get ready?"
She grinned at him and flicked her long-layered hair over her shoulder. "A
surprise I am very grateful for. It’s a nice break before I go back for
my second year of school." Confidently, Drea stepped toward him, lifted up
onto her toes, and brushed her lips against his in a kiss which had him second
guessing the surprise waiting for them in their room. He should have ensured it
would be empty so he could throw her down on the bed, claim one more state on
his places-I-fucked-Drea map. But that was going to have to wait, because first
he had to get down on one knee and ask the one question he'd been so certain
she'd say yes to when he’d put all of the plans in place. Now he was less than
ten minutes away from doing the deed, he wasn't feeling quite so confident. He
loved her with every fucking cell in his body and was certain she felt the same
way. So why was asking her to confirm that with a ring so nerve-wracking?
He’d inked her name on his body.
Hell, all the tattoos on his left arm were dedicated to her. So why should
putting ink on a piece of paper, a marriage certificate, feel so much more
important?

Coming soon from Scarlett Cole: Jordan Reclaimed (Preload #1)!
Jordan Steele’s life began when he was ten. When he was
taken from his parents and a house that was never a home. When he met his
brothers, the other lost and abandoned boys in his group home. When he learned
what friendship and family and love looked like.
Now he’s made good, touring the world with the band he and his brothers
formed in that crowded group home. No one but his found family really knows the
man under the fame and fortune, the scars he hides behind the rockstar
lifestyle. Until he sees her through the windows of the National Ballet,
dancing, and suddenly the world doesn’t seem so dark.
Aleksandra Artemov ticks all the ballet boxes. Father a legendary Kirov dancer. Check. Prepping since birth for classical ballet. Check. Compulsive control over the food she eats. Check. Principal dancer at The National Ballet of Canada. Check. But what she craves is freedom.

She craves Jordan.
Everything about him should terrify her. His size, his tattoos, his
edge. But he doesn’t. He stirs her very soul. Jordan has nothing but himself to
offer her, and he's never been good enough for anyone. Can he figure out how to
face his own demons before he loses his light for good?

Excerpt from THE DARKEST LINK
Copyright © 2016 by Scarlett Cole
“What is this?” she asked, running her hand over the
elongated hood.
“A 1958 Ford Thunderbird. It was a shell when I bought it.
Was found in an unused barn with a bunch of other old classics.”
The wheels were black with white faces, and the soft top was
a creamy white. Reflections from the chrome cast light onto the white walls.
“I love it,” she said, excited to sit inside.
“Hood up or down?” Kenny asked, slipping her cases into the
trunk.
“Oh, most definitely down,” Lia said. Screw the victory
rolls, she could always put her hair into a high ponytail and add the red
ribbon she had in her purse if her scarf failed. She reached into her bag to
find it and tied it around her head.
“I like this,” Kenny said, fingering the knot under her chin
gently. The way his eyes crinkled at the corners made her feel all kinds of
gooey inside. Perhaps it was a good thing they lived a long drive away from
each other. His very presence made it difficult to remember why she was taking
some time off from men. But a little harmless flirtation was adding to the
adventure of a few days off work. There couldn’t be any harm in that.
Once inside the car, Kenny took her hotel details and
plugged them into his phone. “There are few downsides to the classics, but lack
of sat-nav has to be one,” he said, turning the radio on. “Ready?”
“I feel like Thelma and Louise about to drive over the edge
of the cliff,” she said with a laugh.
“Close. That was a 1966 Ford Thunderbird, eight years
younger than this baby. Does that make me J.D.?”
“That depends. Are you planning on driving me to a motel,
having your wicked way with me on the dresser, then stealing my life savings?”
“I know a motel, don’t know if they have a dresser, but more
than willing to do a drive-by to find out.”
Lia laughed. “I was joking.”
“I wasn’t. Say the word, Red.”
He revved the engine several times, the low growl sexy as
all hell, and grinned as he roared out onto the street. Lia watched his hand as
he shifted the stick. He caressed the gear stick. The more she stared, the more
turned on she became until she had to cross her legs and look out of the
window.
Damn him for getting her so hot and bothered. She spared a
glance back toward him, just as he turned to face her. And he winked. Because
he knew.

Wow I am absolutely blown away that this is Scarlett Cole’s
debut novel. It was so well written and the characters were so well developed
and the story so gripping it felt like she has been doing this forever.
From the second I picked it up I was sucked in and I
couldn’t put it down until I had finished it at 3am this morning. Books like
this are why I read romance novels.
Unfortunately I was stupid and after reading the blurb I
figured this book was going to be super angsty and soul destroying and I put it
in the angst collection on my kindle and just haven’t been in the mood for
anything heavy since. But then yesterday I was in a mood and couldn’t figure
out what to read and this was the first one that jumped out at me and now I
have to confess I am a fucking idiot.
Despite the heavy theme and the sad circumstances this book
didn’t have me ugly crying (a few small tears don’t count right?) and I felt
nothing but warm fuzzies and love and hope for these beautiful characters.
Trent was beautiful and I loved that it wasn’t insta love but he felt a connection and he didn’t ignore it or do anything but build the connection and it just made me love him more and more and more. He was sweet and sensitive and just fucking perfect.
Harper started out broken and watching her growth and
strength was inspiring. She was such a beautiful, open, caring person from the
start but her journey was a hard one and I loved that she never gave in to her
fear or circumstances. Although most of the credit really should go to the
amazing and patient way Trent handled and treated her.
The secondary characters were such a part of the story I feel
as invested in them as I do Trent and Harper and I absolutely can’t wait until
January for the next installment in this amazing group of people.
However I am gonna be honest and say there were a few of my
pet peeves in this book that would normally have me spitting the dummy and
dropping this book to a 3 or 4 star rating they were completely understandable
and justified in this novel so I will mention them and build a bridge.
So heres my peeves.
Harper cried (a lot). I know that sounds cold the book is
about this traumatic thing she has been through that has led her to be standing
in front of Trent’s tattoo parlour but I am a suffer in silence, cry in your
pillow believer and Harper cried ………………… a lot. Now I can honestly say despite
the fact I am mentioning this yes it happened but when I found myself rolling
my eyes, rather than being annoyed at the book I was wondering WTF was wrong
with me that I was noticing she was crying and then I wanted to cuddle her and
give her chocolate and make it all better. So it worked and actually made me
respect her more. Weird right?
And the other thing is stupid misunderstandings from lack
of communication. Yeah this book had that. And normally that sends me off into
rant mode about the stupidity of humanity. But you know what they were stupid
misunderstandings but the lack of communication is 100% understandable and
added to the story perfectly rather than taking away from it.
So even though it had factors that are on my shit list this
book pulled a perfect 5 star rating because it made it well rounded and added
depth and made it more realistic and I loved it so hard, it will be with me for
ages.
You honestly need to run out and one click it right now.
