Want by Chelle Bliss
4.25
Want is very similar to the other Men of Inked book I’ve read – Cinder, Men of Inked Heatwave. Like with Cinder, I loved the characters, individually and as a couple. And their friends & family are fun and entertaining – teasing, supporting, and loving each other with abandon.
The romance isn’t quite as insta as with Cinder but it is low angst between them. Brax and Iris meet at his bar when she’s stood up on a blind date, end up spending some time together due to a snowstorm, and thanks to her hilarious & pushy friends meet again when they drag her back to the bar with the hopes that he’ll ask her out. Which of course he does and it’s pretty smooth from there on for them as a couple.
There’s a bit of a gray area when her ex comes back in the picture. My personal preference is usually not for those that flirt with that edge but it’s a minor point of the story. It may play more into future stories, I’m not sure, but it may just be a personal quirk of mine. (And based on the popularity of dark romances I think I may be in a minority :) )
I’m not sure why I don’t read more of Bliss’s books. This is my third so far and I’ve really enjoyed all of them. The characters, main and secondary, are great, as is the relationships between them. I’ll be adding her to my list to keep an eye out for.
