• Annie's Review:
  
  I wanted to love this book...I wanted it so bad..and was waiting for whispersync...but it was taking too long, so I just bought it...sadly I shoulda waited for whispersync..lol But thats ok..I love supporting the audiobook community and Staci is a good author...
  
  This is a story about a Tattoo shop gone reality tv...and Annika and Joel...Joel wants her from minute one...and Annika is having none of it...he does break her down though and she discovers under his rough exterior,,he is a sweetheart...her nickname for him is Hairy...because of his beard..and she just imagines him to be a hairy man all over...I thought that was silly...and it made me giggle!! Well Reality tv is evil incarnate and Annika has to deceive Joel and he flips out...he had a really bad an abusive marriage(towards him) and he does not trust easily...the situation was handled very badly and both of them end up broken hearted...fate has a way of intervening and they find their way back to one another..and yes..we get a beautiful HEA!!
  
  Some great sexy time in this book and the narration was flawless.well worth your time and a credit!!! Very solid 3.5!!!

• My Review:
  
  Hmm this is hard to rate, I love some parts, I liked some parts and I didn't like some part.
  
  I was a fan of Joel’s right from the beginning. And his brother worms his way in to my heart. I see why Joel is how he is and trust is HUGE to him because of his past.
  
   Annika wasn't my favorite character like at all. Even though I know it’s just a book I don’t like what she did, how she did it and why she did it. Is it mean of me that she kind of got what she deserves? Yes it is and I know this but I can’t help but think good take that.
  
   But forgiveness is divine an all that right? So I had to think of them together, and how she makes Joel feel and how her being in his life was for the better. So I have to forgive her for hurting him.
  
  There is a scene with Liz, his ex that is probably my favorite, and that is why I had to forgive Annika for her actions. And the ending was pretty freaking awesome too.
  
  Jason Clarke can read me the phone book and I would listen.. :D Just saying he did a heck of a job bringing Joel to life for me. Kristen Leigh also does a great job. Even if I didn't like her character she still did a fabulous job.
