Tattoo artist Raven Smith is intrigued by the smooth-
talking Jonah Walker. When Jonah asks for a tattoo that
will span his whole back, Raven knows that this piece will
take more than a few sessions to complete. What she doesn't
know is that within this time, she will leave her dark past
behind and find both passion and pleasure in Jonah's hands.
Lauren Dane doesn't hold back with the sixth installment to
the Brown Family series. It's red hot, blistering
action
will have you panting for more. The sex between Raven and
Jonah
is far more than just scorching hot. It is also a rough
portrayal of the character's personalities. Jonah has a
slight dominant side to him that comes out during sex.
Similarly, what makes the sex so explosive is Dane's
signature ingredient, a strong, unapologetic heroine in
Raven.
One of the things I've noticed is that Dane implements
a "tell, not show" style of writing in this book. I would
have liked some more showing, as it further engages the
reader and also makes for a better story overall. While I
do believe that readers can enjoy the book for its romance
and its story as a standalone, a lot of the happiness will
stem from the fact that there are a lot of familiar faces
from previous books in the series as well as characters
from Dane's other series.
The touch of angst also transforms this story into one of
healing the heart as well. The heroine addresses her dark
past and through her relationship with Jonah, she manages
to overcome those personal barriers to find a sense of
peace within herself. In DRAWN TOGETHER, Raven and Jonah's
story will find itself inked onto your hearts like a tattoo.
Tattoo artist Raven Smith is blunt and hard, broken and
jaded, dark and beautiful. While she doesn't hide her
painful past, she does keep a wall around her heart. She's
free sexually—but no one gets to the real Raven
beneath the prickly exterior.
With a voice like smoke, Jonah Warner is a
smooth–talking, highly successful attorney, with a
body that should never be hidden by a suit. He's the kind of
man who never takes no for an answer and always gets what he
wants. And what he wants is Raven. She's a survivor, and he
finds that incredibly alluring.
Jonah gets under her skin in a way Raven has never
experienced. He makes her break all her
rules—including her no–monogamy rule.
But when a figure from Raven's past shows up at the
tattoo parlor and drops a bomb into her life, their
relationship will face the ultimate challenge...
