Raven Smith, the straight-talking tattoo artist who has
woven her way through the Lauren Dane's Brown Family saga,
is someone the other characters either love or distrust. She
lives her life honestly and by her own rules, something not
everyone understands. Raven is loyal to those she loves but
never promises monogamy to the men and woman who pass
through her life. Raven is a polarizing character who has
caused her share of problems so I was excited to see how Ms.
Dane managed to be true to what we know about Raven and yet
make her a heroine readers can enjoy and relate to. I am
pleased to report that the excellent story told in DRAWN
TOGETHER fits Raven perfectly. Raven is who I expected her
to be and so much more. It was a joy to watch how the love
of her friends and Jonah Warner brings her healing and peace.
Jonah Warner is looking for a tattoo artist and seeks out
Raven Smith. She is beautiful and extremely talented; the
attraction that flares between them is instantaneous.
Before long, they are having hot sex and Jonah knows that
whatever he has with Raven, it's not casual. He wants Raven
and he wants Raven to want only him. Can Jonah convince
Raven that he's the one man with whom she can and should
commit?
DRAWN TOGETHER is a compelling story of a transformation
that doesn't sacrifice Raven's unique appeal. Raven's
backstory is as complex and heartbreaking as fans might
expect but at no point does Raven seem weak or less than who
we know her to be. Raven's strength is evident throughout
the story, particularly during those moments where she has
to find the courage to trust others to love and support her.
Jonah is the perfect man for her, patient and understanding
while challenging her to be more than she thinks she can be.
All the other characters we've come to love (Browns,
Copelands, Keenans, Warners, and Delicious) weave in and out
of the story to remind us and Raven how amazing she is.
I loved every word of DRAWN TOGETHER and have already
re-read it multiple times. While the story works as a
stand-alone, don't miss out on the earlier books in this
exceptional series.
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...
