Five dishonored soldiers.
Former Special Forces.
One last mission.
These are the men of Hard Ink.

Trouble just walked into Nicholas Rixey's tattoo parlor. Becca Merritt is warm, sexy, wholesome—pure temptation to a very jaded Nick. He's left his military life behind to become co-owner of Hard Ink Tattoo, but Becca is his ex-commander's daughter. Loyalty won't let him turn her away. Lust has plenty to do with it too.

With her brother presumed kidnapped, Becca needs Nick. She just wasn't expecting to want him so much. As their investigation turns into all-out war with an organized crime ring, only Nick can protect her. And only Becca can heal the scars no one else sees.

Desire is the easy part. Love is as hard as it gets. Good thing Nick is always up for a challenge . . .

She should be an actress! She is so sofy with Becca's voice and hard with Nick's voice, she is absolutely amazing!!

Any additional comments?

Seeing as my Cousin had brought me to this book (unintentionally) I LOVE this book! It has the comical reliefs, sexual pleasures, and who wouldn't LOVE an army veteran that is protective!?

AMAZING!

Intense, suspenseful, detailed and the right about of steam. You get a real feel for what soldiers went thru in deployment.
The narrator did a great job with all the voices.
I look forward to listening to the rest of the series.

Easy to love

Not only was the story so will written and kept me wanting more but the narration was wonderful. The two blended seemlessly working together. If you want a great romantic suspense novel this is the one.

One of the best books I've ever heard.

I wish I had known these two things prior to investing in this series. 1) the narrator, especially in the first book, speaks really slowly. I listened to the whole thing on 1.25 to 1.50 speed which, while annoying, was less annoying than listening at normal speed. Take a careful listen to sample first. Narrator did have good emotion and distinct characters. 2) the over-arching story doesn't come anywhere near getting resolved. I'm guessing you'll have to listen to all 5 or 6 books before you see the head bad guy get his comeuppance -- whoever that is because I still don't know. I think I was expecting that solving this one crime would band the friends together again, and then maybe they'd start their own business. I was thinking each book would be a separate crime and a new relationship. I'm feeling a little mislead but reluctantly pulled in. Felt a little like a bait & switch. I thought I was buying a complete story but what I got was a fairly complete romance and about 1/6th of a crime novel. Grrr...
