Harper Connelly had moved to Miami to get far from a
painful past, but it was the unexpected find in a tattoo
shop that makes her believe that she is indeed made of
THE
STRONGEST STEEL. She just has to trust the artist with
more
than her back ... she has to trust him with her fears,
her
past and ... hopefully her future.
Trent Andrews specializes in inking over scars but he
never
imagined that the sexy coffee shop girl he admired would
become one of his clients. After seeing what was done to
her he can't turn her away ... he has to find a way to
help
her erase the past and find a future. He just can't help
hoping that the future she finds is with him because
while
he works on her in his tattoo shop he feels an odd swirl
of
tenderness and hard-hitting desire the likes he has never
felt before.
It is unfortunate that sometimes the past just will not
let
go.
THE STRONGEST STEEL is one of those books that will hold
you captive from the first word to the last. Author
Scarlett Cole has penned an amazing story. The people are
intriguing, with supporting characters named Pixie, Cujo,
Dred, Lia and Drea ... you have to guess they are
diverse,
and they are, but they have each others backs without a
second
thought. The situation that brought Harper to her
tattoo artist is horrifying and sadly could have come
straight out of the headlines. As you read this intense
storyline you will feel empathy, anger, warmth, fear,
hope
and love with every word.
Both Harper and Trent have pasts that have made them who
they are and who they will be together. I loved watching
this strong woman, who has been beaten down, find the
strength to conquer her fears and move forward. I was
also
touched when the good things of her past, she thought she
would never be able to do again, came out as she helped
others without hesitation. I was also amazed at how Trent
was able to handle Harper's fears and let her move at her
own pace, letting her know he was there if she needed a
shoulder. This couple is amazing together even though
there
are a few instances where you will say "Uh oh ... you
need to
tell him (her) about this." You will see what I mean when
you pick up this book. THE STRONGEST STEEL is on my TRA
(To Read Again)
shelf and I can't wait to get my hands on the next
Second
Circle Tattoos novel.
Harper Connelly never expected to find herself outside of a
tattoo parlor at one in the morning, summoning the nerve to
take back her past. She's determined to forget her old life
and is looking for an artist who can tattoo over the scars
on her back.
Trent Andrews, local legend and owner of the Second Circle
tattoo studio, has his own reasons for specializing in
inking over scars. And in spite of her mysterious past and
the difficult road ahead, he quickly realizes that Harper
is funny, smart, and-under her ridiculously oversized
clothing and SPF 100 sunscreen-totally hot. He's happy to
take on the challenge of designing a meaningful and deadly
full-back tattoo for her.
But when cryptic messages start appearing on Harper's
phone, strange deliveries arrive at her door, and Second
Circle is vandalized, Harper is convinced that her ex-
boyfriend has tracked her down, and worse, that he knows
about Trent. Running was the only thing that saved her last
time, but now that she's started to put down roots in
Miami, she'll have to decide if she can finally fight back
instead
