Drawn to You by Jaclyn Quinn

4.0

---

Drawn to You is the first book in the Beyond the Cove series by Jaclyn Quinn. What starts as a friend with benefits arrangement ends up with a relationship of a lifetime. Eli who is from a big family moves to Brighton Pier for a new start and works at Inkubus, a tattoo shop. Jake who owns Inkubus and is only close with his brother. After tragedy strikes, leaving Jake a father of two, Eli finds himself spending more time with Jake and the kids and slowly integrates him into their family. Can Jake who has never really had a serious relationship truly tell Eli how he feels?

I loved Eli. I liked that despite him moving away from his family, he was so close with them and how his family accepted Jake. Jake really stepped up for his nephews without question and that makes him good in my book.

The story started out somewhat edgy but quickly came together. It was a sweet story once you get past the tragedy. I did tear up a bit. I really hope Ryder gets the next book.
