Skin Deep-- J.M. Stone

Can I just keep this beautiful tattooed man?? I mean, really?? I totally fell in love with him- Luke, oh Luke. Such a sweetheart, yet such a beast at the same time. Emma, our main gal--- such as lucky girl!!
I love how Luke loves her, almost right off the bat- he knows that she is special and that he is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her in his life. See, he is a tattoo artist, at the parlor that he owns, and he meets Emma when she comes in with her best friend to get some ink. Immediately, the sparks fly with these two, but sadly- Emma for some crazy reason, thinks that she isn't good enough for him. She thinks that there is no way that this beautiful sex on a stick man could want a curvy girl like her, but boy is she wrong. He wastes no time at all being sure that she understands that not only does he want her, but that she is going to be his. I love his determination to show her how sexy and beautiful she is- and how much her curves turn him on (because let's face it, real women have CURVES)!!!!
This one has plenty of heat and sizzle as well, because let's just say this- Luke likes to play, and this boy can get wild and crazy, but it only adds to how much more Emma wants him. Which in turn, makes it even hotter as he turns it up even more.... le sigh..... If only we could all have a Luke, lol.
I have to say that even though I hate that some very terrible things happen to Emma in the book (she is a legal secretary, and develops a stalker, which is a former client of the attorney), I think it did add a nice twist to the book. Just a little something extra thrown in- not too much that would make this a suspense novel, but just enough. And the resulting actions of Luke, make you fall even harder in love with him, if that is even possible. So glad to see the HEA for these two, as they desperately deserve it after all that they go through. But, I love that there is another book on the way, as I REALLY would love to see some of the other characters get their stories told as well!! Loved this one wholeheartedly!!
5 stars!!
