When ex-Special Ops bad-ass Mace walks
into Needle's Kiss tattoo parlour, he never expected to find the girl who would
turn his life upside down.

Hard
as nails Scarlett has been unlucky in love: she’s been burnt, chewed up and
spat out. Reluctant to have another relationship, can she keep her wits about
her when hot-as-sin Mace walks into her tattoo parlor? Or will he break her
down and leave his mark within her ink?
What
starts out as a little fun, turns into something so much more.
Can
Scarlett look beyond Mace's devastating past or will his demons come back to
haunt them both?
Content warning: contains steamy,
anywhere-goes sex, an alcohol induced embarrassing night out and two headstrong
lovers taken on a whirlwind of crazy.
I stepped out of the shower and
reached for the lone towel I kept in the rarely used bathroom. Wrapping it around
myself, I realized I didn’t have any clothes down here. That meant I’d have to
make a run for it.
Knowing my luck, I’d fall face
first on the stairs.
Opening the bathroom door, I
didn’t bother to look around; I just made a mad dash for the stairs. Halfway
up, I heard a laughing Mace yell, “I’ve seen it before, baby. I’ve licked and
tasted every inch of your perfect ass. Run all you like, I’ll catch you again.”
I had no doubt he’d try his
damndest to do just that too. .
Stomping my way back down stairs
after I dressed in my ugliest pajamas, hopefully turning Mace off, I heard the
shower running. Mace was in the shower and I’d used the only towel in the
bathroom. Shit.
I ran upstairs as fast as I could
to grab one. Apparently, I wasn’t fast enough, because as I rounded the corner,
he was walking toward the kitchen wearing nothing but a smirk. The pile of
towels I had been holding dropped to the floor. My jaw slack, my eyes followed
his very naked, very firm ass as he casually strolled to the fridge, opened it
and pulled out a beer. Turning as he popped the cap, he cocked an eyebrow and
asked, “You want one, babe?”
Void of any coherent thought, I
just stood there gaping like a fish out of water.
“Take that as a no then.” He
scratched his chest and strolled by, dropping a kiss on my forehead as he
passed. “Love them PJs. Love to take ‘em off too, but I’ve gotta get some shut
eye. Night, babe.” Mace flopped down on the couch and got himself comfortable.

4 & 1/2 SASSY STARS
WOW What a Debut Novel by Lola Stark.
She had me at the opening line with the cherry-red 1967 Shelby Cobra GT500. I
was hooked!
Hot Sassy Chick, Hot ex-Special Ops along with Hot
as F&*k Romance! What more Do you want!
I absolutely loved this book that I had to read it twice. The characters
through the story are what I loved the most. Meet Mace & Scarlett, I had
enjoyed their much realistic relationship after such each a troubled
past. The additional characters too brought a great dimension into
the story line.
"Careful
Mace, you don't wanna be getting me all wet now do you?" ~ Scarlett
"Playin'
with fire there, babe" ~ Mace
"Oh,
but I like when it's hot, Mace." ~ Scarlett
The only issue was that I had been it left me
wanting more from Scarlett & Mace. But also wanting more details as to
Janelle’s story, with her evil crusade against Scarlett.
Thanks Lola for a fabulous start to the Needles
Kiss series and I look forward to the next installment with Conflicted Love.
