Cole may be the sexiest character ever.  He looks like a bad boy, with all of his tats, but is passionate, trustworthy, romantic, fun, and has a firm sense of family.  The chemistry between Cole and Shannon is palpable.  The whole crew of friends that work at INKarnate are an amusing spirited group and adds a lot wittiness to the story.  This is another hit by Samantha Young, where the growing “tribe” of friends and family expands.  Another in the series is expected in summer of 2015.  Can’t wait to hear Logan’s story.

In Hard To Hold On To, the main character’s name, Easy, contrasts his mental healing.  Non-spoiler alert, no one rides off into the sunset or gets married in the end, which makes the story more real.  Recognizing a true kinship is more heartfelt than love at first sight.  His poignant tat is notable:

“YOU WERE NEVER

CREATED TO LIVE

DEPRESSED,

DEFEATED, ASHAMED

OR UNWORTHY.

YOU WERE CREATED

TO BE

VICTORIOUS”
