Abiding Ink (Inked in the Steel City, #4) by Ranae Rose

Blurb:

Tyler DeHaven may look like a bad boy, but there’s got to be more to the tattoo artist who volunteers at the hospital during the holiday season. Inviting him to a work Christmas party seems innocent enough … at first. Problem is, he’s just as irresistible as he looks and falling fast is more than Mallory bargained for. After all, she’s reminded every day what a gamble love can be, and there’s no question that with him, the stakes are high.

It may be cold outside but Mallory Stephens is the hottest nurse Tyler has ever laid eyes on. To top it off, she also likes ink and wants him to be her holiday party date. He’s not going to say no, and when things get rocky, he’s not going to let their passion frost over, either.

Can a brand-new romance survive the chill as snow falls in the Steel City?

Review:

Tyler has ink. Lots of ink. So people assume he is a “bad boy” but looks can be deceiving.  Tyler has a heart of gold.  He is volunteering at the hospital so his little sister has a ride there when she goes to volunteer for class credit.  He meets Mallory there as she is a nurse.  You often read or watch a movie where the characters “just know” from the moment they meet.  I don’t know if Tyler and Mallory felt it but I did. <G>  Although this is the fourth in the Inked in the Steel City series it can be read stand-alone.  I adored these two characters.  Tyler and Mallory sizzle on the page.  Though this story takes place over Christmas and New Years I can guarantee you won’t feel the cold.

I received an e-arc from the author for a fair and honest review
